Filthy Casual for Life

Hi friends. Can you believe it is the beginning of October?! I am excited for the fall, except for the fact that Texas never really gets a fall. We miss the memo most years.

Health. I’ve been quiet lately because I’ve been dealing with illness. I don’t want to go too much into detail other than to say that I’ve missed a few days of work and have spent most of the weekends sleeping away the hours of the day. I’ve been very weak and lethargic. Making it through a day of work has been rough. I’m hoping to rebound, though. On the flip side, my husband has lost 50 lbs. I am proud of him. He’s been doing great!

Sadness. By the time this posts, it is very possible that my grandmother-in-law has passed. We received a call from my husband’s mother that time was short and she didn’t expect her to last more than a few more days. She didn’t want us to come up so that we can remember her how she was. She had dementia and I am sure it is heartbreaking to see her now. So, if you’re the praying type, if you can send up a few for my in-laws, that would be great.

Blogging. As I mentioned, I’ve been pretty quiet. I’ve taken time to sit back and catch my breath. Literally and figuratively. Now that the new season of anime is here, I am feeling a bit of fresh air blowing across my face. There is already one show that has captured my eye. I hope to get back into a writing routine soon. I have a few posts scheduled, so there’s that.

Randomness. I am in the market for a new Christmas tree. We had to throw out my very expensive beautiful tree for reasons. It still broke my heart to get rid of it. Now that we have a larger couch, it worked out. I’m in the market for a pencil tree that will fit right next to the television. We don’t have small children, so a tree isn’t really needed. I just can’t go through the holiday season without a tree. Even if it is a pathetic excuse for one LOL. Thin pencil trees are so gross, but you do what you gotta do.

Work. My job put out advertisements for a couple of new support staff. Want to know what is funny? I’ve been contacted by headhunters asking if I need a job/looking for a change. Do you think I need to worry? LOL. They obviously think my job is in jeopardy. They must know something I don’t. On the same token, I’m kind of glad that I interest enough people to contact me out of the blue. It’s nice to feel wanted. Sometimes, you need that little boost of confidence. I’ll be at that law firm for 16 years on December 1st. That’s scary in more ways than one.

Sorry if I haven’t been commenting on your blogs/websites. I’ve been struggling to keep up with my day-to-day. I am hoping I am turning a corner and have the energy to interact with y’all again! Until we meet again!
