Well, it’s been a while since I updated this thing. Guess I’ve been too busy to really keep on top of it, which is a good thing I suppose. The day job’s been keeping me hopping. A lot of interesting stuff going on right now, and with the rollercoaster ride that was the US economy, it’s meant having to re-think a lot of what we’d been doing. Also, starting to work with a lot more mobile devices has been intriguing to say the least.
On the personal front, well… Seem to be dating a lot more than usual lately. Also got a pretty big crush on someone, but nothing serious happening. I don’t see wedding bells any time in my near future, I’ll put it that way. *lol*
The mom’s gone crazy and decided that she’s moving to Mexico to sell stuff on the beach. I give that about six months before it implodes under the weight of it’s own craziness. However, it’s your mom, so you all you can do is shrug your shoulders and wait for the inevi
Myself, I must admit to a bit of ennui. I think I need a vacation away from the city. What with money being as tight as it has been, it’s been impossible. I suppose I’m a bit frustrated by that. Every year I seem to be a little further behind that the year before, and every time I manage to scrape a little cash together on the side, something comes along and eats it. The latest money eating monster was the cat’s vet bills, and CRA. Between the two of em, I went from having some tuition or travel money saved, to needing to borrow money to make bills. *sigh*
I’m starting to seriously think about moving. I love Van, but the truth is that the cost of living here is getting wildly out of hand. I’ve done a lot over the last two months to restructure my bills and cut costs, but I haven’t felt the benefit yet. I don’t wanna pull the same ‘run away’ routine that my mom pulls every couple years, but I am having a hard time making ends meet here, on what on paper is a really good income.
Well, it’s not a disaster yet. We’ve got some very promising work this spring, and quite likely a bit of investment cash coming in, so it means not having to run things outta our own pockets which is the killer. We’ll see though. I’m probably moving our services off to a computing cloud, which means that my physical location on this planet will be irrelevant for work, and it might be nice to consider working from the road or overseas for a bit. I really think I need to travel a little, and I really wanna go back to school. With more income, lower expenses and portability, that might be possible in the future. Right now though, it’s a bit of a fight to stay afloat.
Well, gotta get back to the daily grind.
