Time Flies (Two years later)

Life has changed a lot in the last three years, as there inevitably always is. To update on the cat from my post three years ago, we ended up surrendering him July 2017 to the humane society. His tail was still not healing and we had already paid in about $5,000 to help him out and were ignoring other bills to come out even. We don't know what happened to him, as you surrender completely, including any knowledge of what happens after, but we're pretty sure they put him down. It was one of the hardest decisions that we have ever had to make, but it was time to take care of ourselves.


Since I'm all about lists, here are some of the changes in the past three years, quite a few, but most of them good:

1. Started new job in March 2016
2. Adopted original cat's girlfriend (they had a litter when they were kittens)
3. Got married!
4. Bought house
5. Best friend cyberbullied and unfriended me
6. Adopted a dog
7. Learned the value of the Home Warranty in our first year (sewer pipes were replaced, huge tree fell and had to be removed)

There's probably more details I'm forgetting about, but it's definitely been one crazy ride in life. This blog was started when I turned 30, and now I'm getting close to 40 (!) which is hard to believe, but I'm going to start being more active on here. To get myself in the habit of journaling, I'm going to start a new challenge every month, so I have something to write about every day. For September I am starting something called the 25 Songs, 25 Days challenge. This will give me a little leeway if I miss a couple days, since there are only 25 posts for this challenge.

I'm also going to try to start a printed bullet journal. I know it's supposed to be "analog in a digital age" but I know if I have to write too much I won't stick to it. This way I can print out checklists and write in a planner that I didn't have to create with lines. A lot of advice out there warns to start out small, just like with any hobby, so I'm starting with a daily planner with to do list, menu planner/shopping list, cleaning schedule, and of course a habit tracker.

Look for my next post for the 25 day song challenge!
