Well, Sweet Jesus It's Been Almost A Month

Criminy... Time has just been slipping through my fingers like sand through a sieve....

I can't believe we are halfway through July already...

Work has been busy, home has been busy, I guess that might have something to do with the fact that life in general is just one busy mess...

I think I will probably start posting more again since I have my partner in crime back on the weekends now... God knows the crazy capers we get into. Our discussions are of the things that get people committed to the state hospital.

Last night we discussed how someday we would like to own a vacation home at the coast, but we would not want it right on the beach because of storms and tsunami potential. An ocean view would be nice. Then Collin made the comment that he would want a fence topped with razor wire around the front, and I agreed. Turns out we both had entirely different reasons for liking the fence idea. He figured it would be good to keep people from running through our property in the event of a tsunami. I thought it would be great to have to ward off an army of zombies that would come up out of the ocean from China. Both are rather practical uses for the fence I think...

Collin's last day at work was last Friday, the 9th. We made a deal, because I don't want to stress about it, or nag him about it (and because I am superstitious and don't want to jinx anything), I am not going to ask the who, what, when, where stuff about his job hunting. All I ask of him is that he tells me if he has an interview (I don't want to know where or even if it's a first or second interview). Also, when he does land another job (which I know he will because he is awesome) I requested he send me flowers at work, and on the card I want it to say the company, the location, the wage, and the hours. Basically until I get the flowers, I am letting it go and trusting in my husband.

That may sound slightly crazy to some, but I have to do it this way. In the last couple months I have really finally started to get my psoraiasis to calm down, and my skin is clearing up beautifully. I don't want it to ever get as bad as it has been the last eighteen months; not only does it make me feel gross and ugly, but the pain and itching is unbearable. I think I have found a balance that will keep it at bay from now on, I just need to make sure I manage my stress properly.

Today is slated to be another gorgeous summer day, a little toasty but I'll take it considering how long it took for summer to finally get here. (And also considering how quickly it will be Fall/Winter again) It has most certainly been an odd weather year, but this is Oregon and that's just how we roll. I just wish I wasn't working today so that I could actually enjoy the weather. Oh well...

*yawn* (wow I really am tired I almost typed yam there...) I guess I should get back to toiling away at work... I wish Renee was here, but she's gone until Wednesday (it's Thursday for those of you on drugs). She is (well she will be) in Fresno because her hubby's mom passed on Tuesday. Sucky.
