Don't quite know how else to describe the changes in life besides making a long long list of them. :) It's a little overwhelming and my body is letting me know by giving me hives for fits and giggles, which I do not love.
What or whom I DO love though is my new and definitely improved hubby, who made me laugh so hard when we were on the ferry from Friday Harbor after he banged my head into the window... well, I guess you just had to be there. At Nancy and Dale's wedding, we had a blast the whole evening even though he did forget to ask me to dance when 'At Last' was played. He made up for it though, and had the DJ play 'Me and Mrs. Jones'. THEN we danced, and laughed more.
My new name is gaining me a new nickname 'JJ', of course. It's fine, but will take some getting used to, and I'm still surprised when I see Jones and remember that it's me! I had to make a nameplate for my desk today, so that I don't confuse staff as they return to work. I hope I get an officially engraved nameplate soon, but for now, my bright yellow with purple lettering ought to catch some attention.
New house is still in uproar and will continue to be so for a while, I fear. I haven't finished the transfer from my house to this one but the deadline is looming closer and closer. I might have to break down and ask the fam to help me out the weekend of the 12/13th. Hint hint hint. Eventually we'll get things organized better here and find a place for it all. The garage is looking pretty spiffy after our work last weekend, so there's hope. Also, the patio cover is going to be amazing when it's finished. An outdoor living room! Yay!!!
Old and new job is kind of a weird feeling because I've been in this same department three times now and know a couple of things about the job and many of the staff. It's very comforting to go back there and it's really weird to not be taking work home with me! LOVE IT!
New fam and dog isn't really new because I've been here so much, but we'll all still have some adjustments to work through. We'll be fine~
New garden - after having been in Victoria, B.C. and after visiting Butchart Gardens, the yard and garden here have a lot of redesign to go through before I'll be satisfied. Oh my goodness, flowers were everywhere, and they grow the biggest raspberries I've ever seen. I have plans...and plans !
So, time to change clothes and go water. Time to dream of more flowers and make some more work to do. Silly me, but the payoff will be great. Maybe playing in the dirt will make the hives go away if my mind can convince my body that all these changes just take time. And there's always plenty of time in the garden~
