i know, again

It is on days like this when my boss is in meetings and has left me nothing to do but wonder what crap is about to hit the fan that I really need to just take the time and start writing again. I have been so sporadic about blogging but I used to be a fanatic. I was a daily multi-poster at one point. I have removed a lot of the archives here. I�m not even sure anymore what the rationale behind that was. Perhaps it was that I was going to let this go public again and was wary of who might stumble upon it.
Anyway, here I am again making a feeble attempt to start airing out my mind here. Best do it somewhere right?
Anyway, here is the catch-up part:
Left Utah in 2008 to come back to Canada.
Got married later in 2008 and then we bought a house.
Evan, my husband is a guy with who I shared a high school with although our paths rarely crossed. His parents live literally a 10 minute walk from my parents.
I had a hard time getting work once we moved back to Canada. Little did I know that we were moving to one of the most downtrodden areas in Ontario. After balancing a few temporary positions I landed a job that at least was full time and permanent. However I have a boss that I don�t trust and it takes me more than 30 minutes to get here from our new house. So I have been looking feverishly for a job at least in the same city I live in.
Evan asked me the other day what if I got a new job and hated it too. My answer was simply at least I wouldn�t feel like I�m spending 2 hours in the car every day and would probably be making more money so it would still be better than what I have now. Of course, I don�t hate everything about this job, but I find that having to work for someone who is dishonest and conniving behind an innocent exterior really just drains the other good things away. I try not to dwell on it, but when you spend 6-8 hours a day with someone you just can�t trust it really affects everything else.
Anyway, so the search is on for a new job.
On the home front, I am as overwhelmed with housework now as ever. I thought it would be better with someone else there to help but since neither of us is a clean freak then we end up with a back-log of work. I have a tendency to use yard work as a procrastinating tool while he uses golf.
Meanwhile we will have a house full of 2 different sets of guests next week and neither of us can bring ourselves to get the house under control. It will happen just not as soon or as thoroughly as I�d like. I can�t blame him though, it�s not like I�m working on it either.
Overwhelmed at work, overwhelmed at home and in general it�s been a tough spring. My granddad died April 17, my friend�s mom died in June and two other friends have separated from their husbands. I know I have a way of letting all the bad things creep in and so I need to make a conscious effort to at least make the little things better. I have started going to a naturopath and I think the time outside (even if it is detracting from housework that should be done) is a plus.
Anyway, that is my random update for now. I am really going to try again to get back into writing here as I think it does have a therapeutic effect and does me some good to just unload.
