Frozen Nowhere

Yes, that is a song lyric… so deal with it.

This is how I feel today, “that which doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger”. Its just been one of those days? Weeks? Months? Seasons? Years? Yes… years, it’s been one of those years for me and although I can see how I am getting better and stronger, there are still days where things are getting harder and coming faster.

Meet Magik — an 8 week old black and white domestic shorthaired cat that the kids and I adopted from our local SPCA. Gabe was responsible for naming this one. He almost named her “Oreo” but I think Magik is a good name (his spelling) as she can disappear without a trace with only a moment’s notice

Meet Arthur!
Arthur is a 7 week old domestic shorthair that I adopted (along with Paige and Gabe) from the SPCA in Saskatoon. Paige picked Arthur out, and was a bit disappointed when he turned out to be a male rather than a female kitten (she had picked out the name “Julie” for her kitten and even picked out a flowered collar for this cat)… but she decided that she wanted THIS kitten… so… we adopted ARTHUR

So… I know that I have been remiss in my duties as a blogger. Not that I have ever been the world’s BEST blogger, by far, as I tend to write in fits and spurts despite my best efforts. And I had higher hopes for this blog, but I haven’t managed to get this off the ground in the way that I had wanted to, due mostly to life circumstances that have been more stressful and distracting than I had previously anticipated. 

But as I stated before,things seem to be settling down now. Things are working themselves out and I am fairly sure that there is an end in sight… at least for the upheavally bits (can’t say there is…

I’m nominally back on track. I have moved, retrieved a bit of the marital furniture, and have started to unpack and reorganize my life. I have a lot of work yet to do, but that’s as to be expected. I have bought some new stuff, particularly a new tv, and I have gotten back some of my old stuff (love seat, books, SOME pictures (but not any of the photo albums or non-digital pictures of my children)). I have spent the last week setting up something so that when STBX brings the children back tonight they have something to come to.
