Been a while. Been busy, ya know what they say. "Life is what happens when you're busy making plans." Well been doing lot's of crafty things, raising a toddler (for my sister, not for me thanks) and generally just trying my best to make the best of my life.
Since I've last blogged, no house. It's been a long nauseating roller-coaster ride that I don't care too much for, but if I want my own house it seems unreachable. Pft! First there's all the anxiety and then you over-come it and step into excitement, back to feeling anxiety, then well... we experienced disappointment. So a semi-detatched home that was in great condition and priced just right for us was within our grasp. Then it came down to the appraisal and when it came out to be less expensive there came this heavenly light shining down upon us. So we thought. The owners didn't want to sell it for $5k less than the asking price, so they backed out of the deal and left us slack jawed and found wanting. SHIT.
It's Christmas time, we just celebrated Thanksgiving and it went well. It didn't leave me thinking we should have gone out of town, for once. I guess I did well at letting small little pricks of insults from family and friends roll off my back. Or was it the wine? According to the nice headache I woke up to Friday morning... it was the wine. No "Black Friday" shopping for us, thankfully. Maybe it was the lack of screaming, crying children this year at an event I attended? My saying of grace should have included my sincerest thanks to the families of small obnoxious, colicky kids that stayed home or were late enough that I slipped out quickly into the evening. How empowering, to be the Childless Super Heroin, not the one I need but the one I deserve to be! Wink wink. ;)
My apologies for my comic book geeky-ness taking over me.
Well let's see how this holiday season goes. I might have to check into a "hotel", or sedate my self after. Who knows, I might enjoy my self? My nephews and nieces are getting older and therefore easier to keep content so Aunty Venus can have some "adult time". It also affords time for my hypochondria to present it's self.
There was something my aunt said to me several month's back about those bright red beauty mark type of hemangiomas. She told me that they can be linked to cancer. That dreaded "C" word. Well I am personally familiar with it, and it wasn't a very serious case, but no one really ever wants to hear that you could possibly getting cancer. I've done research and there really isn't any evidence that they are related, in fact it could just be part of aging. I guess having had cancer cells before just keeps my mind sharp to the possibility that I could just be one of those unlucky persons whom have the genetics to carry cancer cells. I guess I should go to the dermatologist before I start picking out caskets. Don't worry I'm not that type of person. I just have a knack for planning for the worst and hoping for the best. It helps my outlook be that much sunnier.
