Still here....
Thanks all for your concern. I'm sorry that I haven't posted in like forever.... just way too much going on. And while I'm apologizing... this is just going to be a short post on the fly to give you a sense of what's going on with me and where I'm at.... I'm afraid I just don't have the time or the energy for anything else. And last apology... please ignore the grammar or lack thereof....
Anyway... better news first...
1. I FREAKING DID IT! NOVEMBER 7TH MARKED MY ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY SINCE QUITTING SMOKING. This is not only huge, it is some kind of a miracle given everything else that I am trying to cope with (in some cases not all that successfully).
2. To say that I am busy at work would be an understatement. EVERYTHING WAS DUE YESTERDAY. And I am not getting a thing done other than the very next most important thing. The lawyers that I work with are similarly stressed and pressured... all of the deadlines are moving targets.... priorities are constantly shifting. (I must be in a good mood this morning because I want to write really hateful things about the lawyers but I keep erasing it on the notion that they are just human and not evil monsters whose sole purpose in life is to make my life miserable... if only I were that important to them... get a grip Scott).
3. The Convention to elect the new leader of the federal Liberal Party is only three weeks away and the candidate that I am working for, is now recognized as one of the top contenders. VERY EXCITING. I wish I had the time to write more about this but then if I did, I would need to be in the office working on the campaign.... (I trust that the type of people who read my blog are thrilled with the results in the recent mid-terms elections in the U.S. )
Now the not so good news....
I am dancing as fast as I can and in so doing, my inner demons have all escaped and are wreaking havoc all over the place in my life... there isn't enough food to keep me happy at the moment and I can feel myself gaining weight daily (where are my Pringles damnit!) .... I'm still working out... but not enough.... and in the few moments that I do snatch for myself I'm spending money that I don't have gambling... For somebody who considers himself to be an intellectual, I'm quite often not very bright. Making matters worse, I got up my nerve to try dating and the first guy I actually met turned out to be a jerk(another story for another day).
So all in all, this is my life. Some good, some not so good. But I'm still here. I have no idea what the future holds for this blog.
I'll try to post something more coherent sometime soon but I can't promise anything until after the convention at the end of November.

Wow - I haven't been here in a while and now there is a photo of you up. Congrats on your no smoking anniversary. Yea!
Good to see you back!
CONGRATULATIONS on the quitting anniversary. That is HUGE. I am very proud of you--way to go!
Hope everything else settles down soon.
Congratulations on your non-smoking milestone. I know how huge that is being a former smoker myself.
And Yes, I am happy with the elections. There may be hope.
hope the work stuff gets better. I am having one of those same oh shit how the hell am I going to get this all done by the dealine kind of days and it is a Sunday! Ah if we couldn't just all play hooky all the time!
Hope all the bad stuff turns good for you soon.
And Happy One year anniversary! Doesn't it feel great?
Coherent is for the boring you are fabulous as you are.
Lawyers are not actually human ... who knew? ..... It is a little known fact that most come from a planet of another solar system, a name I can not pronounce. Suffice as to say the name is spelt with @#$@%$#% in it. These dues delight in the misery of others and regard the whole event as a game. To play the game you need to use a few tactics and a number of "safe" words.
To be left alone the first "safe" phrase is "I have no money and neither does the other guy" ... this one tends to ward off most of these non-human creatures. Give it a go!
FANTASTIC NEWS that you hit one year of no smoking. YOU ROCK!!!
And yes, we were clearly separated at birth because there is not enough food in the world for me to eat right now either. OY. Where are my BROWNIES!!!???
Hang in there buddy - my tactic right now is to pick one thing a week to change for the better. Just ONE thing. This week, I'm going back to measuring my breakfast cereal. Because 2 cups of it really isn't a serving size. Baby steps...
