As promised

So lately, I've been enthralled in March Madness. I've been able to watch the games at work-luckily it's been slow. I'm in a pool with my family and I'm tied for last place! Oh well, I'm having fun watching the games and that is all that matters to me at this point.
Joey and I have now been living together for a year...wow! I think that we're both surprised that it's lasting this long considering that when we both met, neither one of us was looking for a serious relationship. Go figure.
Crafts-I'm still working on this HUGE latch hook. At first I didn't think that I was going to like doing it-lots of color changes-but it's turning out really nice. I've been eyeing some cross-stitch stuff that I'll probably work on soon for gifts.
Work....sigh...so many changes are going to be happening soon. My office will be changing. Some of my coworkers are looking for greener pastures. I only wish that the one who needs to leave would just leave. There has been no progress on their part in being more efficient in their role and not having the rest of us have to redo what they did in order for it to be right and make sense. So my unit is only 4 people. This one person NEEDS to leave. And the other two are looking for the greener pastures...leaving me as the senior person...and I've only been there since October...and I still have questions about things. With my role, things change on almost a daily basis-new rules, new ways of trying to make sure that the State money goes to the right people, etc. Can be very frustrating and overwhelming at times. That's probably a huge reason why I cannot get physically healthy lately. I'm trying to take everything in stride but it is hard. I have no energy to look for another job yet alone even a part-time job to help cover some of the bills. So I'm trying to hang on by a thread.
Cats-well, it is just another stress in trying to keep Zeitgeist safe from the others. She spends most of her time on the floor surrounded by boxes of stuff that have never been unpacked. If I take her out, she'll spend some time with me. She continues to be a fiend for human affection-calling out to me and Joey if she wants attention. She continues to eat and drink but just to look at her, you know she is just so old. All I can do is just try to give her as much love and affection that I can. The others are still the same-crazy little characters!
I've had a little increase in my reading. I'm averaging about one book a week. Far from the several that I used to be able to finish back in NYC. Only sometimes do I actually miss NYC!.
