Hello.

Let me explain.

For the past year, I’ve been somewhere I didn’t really want to be. The rush of happiness a new degree and new career had brought me started to fade steadily after several months living in a basement again. I knew I had to wait it out, and that I wouldn’t be working casual or on-call forever, but I guess there was only so much time I could spend in an environment that’s unhealthy for me before I started to become, well, unhealthy again. I had the anxiety disorder pretty much under control while I was working on my degree–proof that it’s not “just” stress-related like some people like to think (and declare)–but it crept into the back of my mind again, and then, came forward and hit me with a vengeance.

It’s been a rough couple of months, hence the blog silence. But then, a few weeks ago, life suddenly went into hyperdrive and it’s like everything came together all at once. I want to ramble and shriek for joy, but I doubt I’d make any sense at the end of it all.

Let me just sum up: a full-time posting came up in my department, I was the “successful applicant” and love my new position, and in two weeks I’m moving into a beautiful little duplex, with big windows, a backyard, and an extra bedroom (read: craft room).

Wow.

Hey Hon! Hope everything’s going well with the new place and the new job.
Your partner for the CPaG Christmas in July swap wanted to know how to get your package to you.
Would you send me your new address, so that she can send you your prezzies?
