back in black

I've been quiet for awhile mainly because I've been rather busy with life and all the amazing changes that can and have been happening.
Funny how all tends to work out. When we moved to North Carolina we looked up and found a Metropolitan Community Church in Raleigh, less than an hour from us so off we went to church at St. John's. For me it has been a really long time however, I used to go to the MCC in Pensacola, Florida so I was actually looking forward to going here. It has been a good experience thus far. We are both now in the choir and often help with some part of the service or another. We've also found a great group of people.
In the mean time there has also been work going full speed ahead. It is a slow uphill battle to get my teams in shape. Most have never worked in a professional setting and have poor to non-existent work ethics. I keep feeling like I'm channeling my former training manager Kyra when talking to them which is really a good thing overall since she taught me quite a lot.
On top of all of this we have quit smoking. I pained myself into quite a corner by starting a quit smoking club at work. I can't smoke at work or some of my coworkers would hunt me down! I was pretty angry on my first non-smoking day but then, I knew I would be. It's worked so far though to use my own morals against myself.
There is so much more it is just bunching up in my head right now so I'll just come back on a regular basis again to get it all out.

Watch those spines

And I thought our cat Charles had to loose some weight...
