Time flies out of control when working in the death industry
I got a note from a long time friend wanting to know if this journal was still active and I realized that I haven't updated in two years.
Time, like a river flows ever on, even when we attempt to hold it back.
In my case I made the realization that I rarely have the opportunity to just sit in front of a computer these days. When I worked for the Evil Empire was in front of one 8-10 hours a day, now I'm lucky to have an hour a day in front of one.the limits blogging and fandom activities pretty quickly.
I'm not complaining, I'm still employed full time in my field and I'm licensed as both a full funeral director and an Embalmer, so the trade-off is fair, but miss the ease participating in fandom.
So, here in a nutshell is what's happened in the past two years....
I am still employed at the mortuary provider and finished my internships. I passed my exams and became fully licensed. I am currently job hunting for something in a more traditional funeral home and have done a couple interviews.
My spouse embraced their inner woman and began transitioning a year ago. The Elder and the Younger Spawn continue to reside at the family home, the Elder working in their chosen field as well. They had planned on moving out, then as typical with life a crisis occurred and that was put on hold. Medical bills to be paid off, etc. Nothing to worry about, just a gall bladder that needed to come out then a reaction to the meds. All it's fine with them now.
The Middle Spawn, the Son in Law, and the Spawnletts moved back to the area for health issues and are doing mostly okay. Time prevents me from seeing then as much as I'd like, and I want to change that for the coming year.

I'm glad to see an entry from you - I see bits and pieces around FB way, but it's great to have the two year quickie summary for orienting purposes. Sounds like it's been a bumpy go, but I'm so glad to hear things are settling/holding steady. And yay/congrats again on the livelihood achievements. *hugs tight*

I'm friends with Herself on FB, I think. But not friends with Yourself. I'm there under my Tifani Niehaus disguise.
