Back to blogging again...

Well, it's been a while...and now it's time to get back into blog mode...lots has happened, not just in the last year, but geez...even in the last three months!!!

Let's see - found out that I was getting evicted from my little abode of almost three years as my landlord chose to sell the house. I was a bit up in arms, because with the two dogs and two cats, the likelihood of finding something to rent was slim to none. I would have to buy.

Bring on summer - no parties, outdoor patios, no long training rides, no fun for me - it was all spend looking at houses and houses, and yet more houses. Time started to wear thin, and I still hadn't found the one I felt that I would be able to call home. I had to be out of the house I was in by October 1. Finally, by near the middle of August, we finally found something and it wasn't long thereafter that I had a new place to live (well, not new, exactly - it's pretty much a throwback to "That 70's Show", but it has charm and a lot of space, which should do the five of us just fine, thank you very much).

So, that being solved...I then got a permanent job (after almost two years on contract with the same company). I also had an epiphany of sorts in terms of figuring out my whole ability to "self-sabotage" and talk myself out of succeeding at things that most other people have no difficulty with. It took a huge fight with my dad to sort it out, but sort itself out, it did - now all I have to do is try to keep it in practice. I won't be 100% consistent at first, but it's like a habit - you have to give it time to develop.

I have again signed up for Ironman Canada - and hopefully will get it done this time. I have a new resolve and a new attitude to take into my training, and anything that comes out of it can't be anything other than positive.

Life is good...
