Yes, I'm Still Alive

I have not even visited this blog for at least a month, so I would like to update it with what's going on currently.

Last night, I stayed up until 4:00 am with my daughter while the poor little thing vomited all night. Then this morning, I had to relucantly take her to her Nana while I went to work.
Then at work...

I was permanently laid off of my job today because of corporate downsizing, so I am currently working on my resume/CV...fun, fun stuff here, people. I have been expecting this event for a while since my company's business has gone down the toilet in the last couple of years. When I was called into a conference room to be told the news, my bosses were very surprised how nonchalantly I took it. I am not the type of person who worries about anything; that's just who I am. Everyone in the office gave me hugs and a few were teary-eyed, so that made me feel really good.

I have been looking over job listings, and I expected there to be practically zero jobs listed in my profession, but I have surprisingly seen quite a few, so maybe things are a little better than I thought.

Thank goodness my boyfriend is coming home from Poland tomorrow for 3 days. Then he'll be leaving for 4 days and will back for 2 weeks. If it doesn't snow tomorrow, we're going to the mountains Saturday to go snow tubing, which is insanely fun. My boyfriend asked me if he could book a Carribbean cruise for us for Aug. but unfortunately I had to tell him that with my current job situation, I can't plan that far in advance yet, but hopefully we will still get to go anyway. Also, we have plans to go country-hopping in Europe next year. So far, he has visited France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and of course Poland while on his work project. He has been scoping out the best places for us to visit when we visit Europe. How exciting!

Oh, one other good thing that has happened...I wrote on this blog a few months ago about an injury to my knees and ankles that I sustained while carrying my 65 lb son. The injury heart-breakingly kept me from running for about 3 months. Now I am completely better and have been running some and am planning on running a race soon.

Well, that is my little update. I have really missed blogging. Hopefully, I will be picking it up more soon.

Muah!
