Offline for a bit, most likely

G'day all!

I have to go to Sydney for a while. I will be online there but I might not be posting much, it all depends.

Things are not working for DH and I, being in different cities. I feel lousy about leaving the cats for the second time in less than a week, but they have a nice cat sitter who will look after them (they both said hello to her, which I saw as a good sign!). All my hard work in the garden, getting things under control in a few areas will also be destroyed, but if I don't go then I won't have a marriage....

If it looks like we can get things back together, I'll be moving there but coming home every few weeks to get more house stuff fixed up. I have no idea what I'll be doing about the cats.

I will be back home next week, but after that I have no idea.

It is really quite difficult living in uncertainty. I've been living with it for years. I find it very stressful. Taking things one day at a time is helpful but there are some things you absolutely must plan. And there are some certainties that I expect and have enjoyed for over 10 years now, and suddenly BOOM! Gone....

anon!

    Dear world,
    Lynne has had more horrid stuff happen to her in the last few years than anyone should have to cope with in a lifetime. Can't you give her a break?

    Dear Lynne,
    Hugs from me to you - I was hoping for a better year for you ...

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
