What’s Going On

I’ve been doing the link blog thing for quite a while, not updating anything about my actual life. Believe it or not, there are actually reasons for this. One, I was stuck in a job that I genuinely disliked. This depressed me greatly. In fact, it downright pissed me off.

Two, I was pregnant. I was happy about this, still am, and I am now very happy to have two children. Even so, I am not, I repeat not a good pregnant woman. My last pregnancy damned near drove me crazy, and the aftermath completed the trip. Since I was actually happy about the prospect of another child, but very nervous about the possibility of going nuts again, I was naturally a little conflicted.

Stir in just a little bit of late-pregnancy complications, an unexpected c-section, and post-partum recovery, and adding a newborn to our little family, and you have a recipe for no blogging for a while. Just some links every few days.

Of course, now, the baby is out, I’m not crazy, and I’m out of the job I hated. Needless to say, I’m pretty thrilled. In fact, I feel like I got a piece of my soul back. Not only do I now have two kids that I adore, but I also have a job that genuinely challenges me and feels rewarding. The new job smell isn’t quite gone yet, but it’s still a thousand percentage points less stressful than my old one.

So that’s what’s going on, in a nutshell.
