Quickie Updates

I keep meaning to write a real entry but…it keeps not happening. Here’s the brief rundown on life lately.

Work
Had my 1-on-1 meeting with my boss last Friday. Presented my case. He agreed it was worth a shot. So now I’m working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday (same days) but 12pm-4:30pm, no lunch instead of 10am-4pm with 30 minutes for lunch. It’s a net change of only an hour without taking lunch and so far, I’ve done it two days and it’s been a little easier. Hopefully, it will give me the time I need in the morning to get ready at a comfortable pace without getting stressed. It also puts my weekly hours total back into the more ideal range I did at the last job for a year and a half. Fingers crossed it’ll help. My health’s just been too crap with the excess hours these past seven months.

Health
Getting more sleep with my new schedule should help. I’m still dealing with random headaches, migraines and all sorts of oddball side effects of migraines but sometimes without the actual pain part. (Weird visual distortions, foggy brain, muddled thinking, etc.) I’ve been really sore lately too but that’s par for the course. Just the luxury of sleeping in a little more though mentally feels so much nicer even if it doesn’t always magically make the physical crap go away.

Love
This week was our 12 year anniversary. Can you believe we’ve been together since 1998? Damn that’s a long time! Didn’t do anything special though unfortunately as we’re broke because of the pay schedule being off so this was rent check. It’s ok. We’ll do something another time instead I’m sure.

PhoenixFire Designs
I’ve been trying to make some new items and keep some regular updates on the etsy storefront. I’ve also been trying to keep showing off custom item as well as other craft projects on my PhoenixFire Designs Blog. If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do!

And well, that’s really about that. Just a quick summary of what’s been going on lately.
