Well now is as good a time as any I suppose.

Apparently just over two years ago I started a new blog.

And then I didn't do anything further with it.

I had good intentions and the desire to start writing again, but I was likely too busy drinking wine, smoking pot, complaining about my job, complaining about A, my boyfriend,  eating too much, watching too much tv, not exercising enough and generally living an indulgent, self-absorbed yet lazy life to actually start said creative journey. 

And given all of those 'non things' I was busy doing, in my mind's eye, what of interest was there to actually write about?  

Well, things changed a bit over the last year.  I did 'stuff''.

I finally started job hunting...then failed to get a job I pinned a lot of hopes and plans on.

I decided to stay 'stuck' in my current job and focus on baby making (I was 37 and all and not getting any younger)

I bought a fix-er-upper with my boyfriend, A, and embarked on the world of home renovation.

I got knocked up (by A).

I got engaged (to A).

So with the renos no where near where we thought they'd be, the reno budget running on empty, the baby due in two weeks, a year of mat leave ahead and a deposit put down for a wedding we set for August 2015...I realized I have finally signed up for a whole bunch of shit where a creative outlet is probably going to be helpful in dealing with all of the emotional and mental crap that come along with making all of these...Major. Life. Decisions. 

I miss wine. I miss pot. I miss being lazy. But I now realize I miss living more. I'm present in my own life again. And while it's all still just 'stuff', it feels suprisingly awesome.

Welcome.
