Newsy

I was going to write a long post explaining everything in agonizing detail, but time is slipping through my fingers.

1.  I got into graduate school.  I’m going for my MFA, which is the terminal degree for studio art.

2.  We have to move a few hours north.

3.  Jut just got an awesome job in at a school a few hours north.  Better pay, better workload.

4.  We have to sell our house here and find a house up there.

5.  There are three weddings (out of state, all of them) to attend this summer.

6.  I had to give notice at work, which was tricky.  My co-worker/supervisor (small company) was diagnosed with breast cancer this spring.  She starts chemo next week.  Things are insanely busy there, and I feel on the verge of losing control every ten minutes or so.

7.  There’s some cancer going on in members of Jut’s family.

8.  A childhood friend of mine died.  His motorcycle was knocked into a cable barrier by an SUV and the wire cables killed him.  He was a coach and a teacher.

9.  My old middle school burnt down!  It was a stupid prank gone horribly awry.  (No one was hurt.)

10.  I haven’t seen my parents or sister since Christmas, and I don’t know when I can get down there, because of the house/wedding/etc. stuff.  Too long!

What’s new with you?

Love,

    Wow. Some of those are SO great and some are SO shockingly awful. Just… wow. Definitely a lot to deal with, good or bad, though, so yeah, sending the hugs. To Jut too.

    yay! I am so glad Jut got the job and you guys can move! Wahoo!

    Don’t feel repsonsible for the crappiness at work. It is TOTALLY okay to take care of yourself this one time.

    I am so sorry about your friend.

    I hope Jut’s family gets better as soon as possible!

    Most of this stuff is so awful…but some is SO exciting! Congrats on Jut’s new job and your MFA program. That’s such an incredible step and I’m so excited for you.

    New with me…well, I had a baby in January :)
