Serenity, Silk, and Stress

I know I'm pretty late posting this month's wedding blog update. I was hoping to have more progress to be able to brag about and so i kept putting it off. Unfortunately, life doesn't often hand out things like 'progress' in nice, neat, regularly distributed packages... or stress either for that matter.

We've had a rollercoaster of changes in our home the last couple of months, mostly related to jobs. By the time i left my last job (which was only ever supposed to be a short-term commitment anyway) i had stress pouring out my ears. The final straw was a maintenance issue at our apartment and it sent me tumbling over the edge of cope-ability into a sea of GAH! It also drove us out of our home temporarily.

That turned out to be the best thing that could have happened for me. P-mom took us in for the night, gave us much-needed hugs, made us dinner, and tried to help us not feel so out of sorts. She was really wonderful. I had the next day off and she suggested (nay, insisted) i stay and have a nice relaxing soak in her tub and do whatever i needed to unwind.
