So I said I would give an update on my life in the like one and a half years I have been away from this board. At least I think it has been that long since I've been here, I can't even remember.
Anywho, BF and I have now been living in the condo for almost two years(it will be two years in January) and we are still together. No ring in the near future though I could be wrong about that. He's been secretive in regards to a proposal. We keep on top of each other when it concerns the bills in the house. I still pay our cable and internet as well as our wrestling streaming network. I still pay for the groceries and bulk items. He still pays the mortgage and the condo fees. We split evenly the electric, cell phone and propane bills.
We have two lovely kitties which I have talked about on the Crazy Cat Lady thread on CC but I will reiterate them here. Loki is our oldest at a year and a half and is the true definition of a scaredy cat. Freya is our baby at 3 months old. The kitten was his idea to get and though I was nervous the first few days of having her, I wouldn't trade her for anything.
The past year or so with work has been meh. I was let go from three jobs, two of which were temp jobs and one which was my own doing. I had been working a full time job at a local Goodwill, which I had loved even though it was back in retail which I hated. Then management shifted and shit hit the fan. I left there in June and moved on to a call center job in July where I have been since and I love.
Family wise, my mother has now battled cancer a total of three times. She beat what we were told was colon cancer and was actually anal cancer. And she has now beaten lung cancer twice, once in each lung. Unfortunately, we received news a few months back that my aunt, her older sister, had cervical cancer and tested positive for Lynch syndrome. For those unfamiliar with Lynch syndrome, it is a genetic disorder that carries the possibility of several cancers. Since my aunt tested positive, my mother and her siblings needed to be tested to make sure no one else carried the gene. My mother did in fact test positive which means my brothers and I will also need to be tested. This is something that has weighed pretty heavily on my mind because of the possibilities.
BF's family we have barely seen all year. We try our hardest to get to parties when we can but BF's job has made that difficult as he usually works six days a week. We don't see his brother and SIL very often either but when we do, I am cordial with her and act extremely nice to her. I love their son very much as well. BF's mother has had her own slew of health problems the past year as well. She has had oral surgery for implants so that her dentures can sit properly and they aren't healing very well so she doesn't cook as often as she used to. I miss her cooking.
I can't think of much else but if you have any questions that I may have missed, please ask away. I will do my best to answer them the best that I can. I will also do my best to handle the snark the best I can.
Thanks- A.
