Remember me?

I used to blog here. On Thursdays. Then life happened and I went away, but now I’m back! But I thought I would share the story of how life can just be so… lifey.

Nearly a year ago I decided I was ready for a new home. I had been in my condo for 15 years and I was ready to make the leap to my “big” home… which is really just a townhouse. The place where hopefully I’ll live forever or certainly until some sad little nursing home takes me in. It was new construction so I put down a deposit and was told I would be ready to move in June.

Awesome! Yeah me.

Then at work we scored a big client and I was tasked with a major project with a January 2014 deadline.

Awesome! Yeah work.

Then my house deadline got pushed, then pushed again. I wasn’t too worried. I mean there was no way in heck they would be delayed so long that the house settlement and work project would actually collide right?

And that’s when you know of course it is going to. Of course all of the stress of buying a home is going to happen the exact week you’ve got this major project at work happening. To turn this all back into writing – it really made me see why we have to “throw our characters into the dumpster”. Because life is all about being thrown into the dumpster!

Then climbing out of it.

The client went live, settlement happened, I move in a few weeks and I didn’t collapse or die. I did drink a ridiculous amount of wine – but the world didn’t end and for that I’m extremely grateful.

Now I’m back and ready to blog again! What did I miss while I was away?
