noun:Â an instance of something becoming popular, active, or important again.
Not entirely sure how important exactly… Nor due to lack of developments – meaningful and mundane – there has been a considerable gap between last post and this.Â
Indeed, one might argue the last 3 years have been downright action packed! In said time I have:
- Finally been correctly diagnosed – not with Crohn’s – but with Endometriosis of the small bowel. What’s that you say? You didn’t think a condition typically associated with the uterus could OCCUR in the small bowel? You and me both. This also led to my having an Ileostomy for three months. Doo doo bags are a drag. I’ll just leave it at that.
- Undergone a complete hysterectomy – who needs estrogen when all it’s gonna do is poison you anyway?
- Moved away to Vancouver and discovered it is no further afield than any other suburb of Portland.Â
- Discovered the joys of sales tax wherein the price isn’t really the price.
- Reconnected with my best friend from my first job whom I’d lost some 18 years earlier.Â
- Built a house. Well, not myself, but I was definitely in charge of picking the paint colors.
- Witnessed the successful launch of my offspring into adulthood.
- Gotten engaged! This list is chronological, not in order of importance, okay?
- Orchestrated the transition of the employees in my job function to working remotely. This was a considerable personal triumph, and my reward is working in my jam jams.
- Gotten a puppy!Â
More than 10 things have happened between now and then, but these are the highlights, anyway. A lot of these things are sagas in themselves; maybe if I run out of material, I’ll hit the bullet list…
In the meantime, I expect this to be yet another venue for puppy photos and updates.Â
Could be worse…
