I have been trying to keep the negative posts to a minimum which means I pretty much haven't been posting anything. All the bad things going on are simply things I need to wait until they go away.

The plan for the next month keeps changing. I have been planning to move since August and I can't even remember how many times the plans have changed. I'm just so tired of the plans changing. There is more going on than just moving and I really can't talk about it but I am dealing with external circumstances in addition to my own plans.

I will probably move away from Iowa before the beginning of February, but I will most likely stay with family for a short time while I figure out a few things and find a new place to live. Kris and I are moving at the same time. I could be packed and out of here in a week. Kris has barely started packing. I'm feeling pressure to be out of here, like, tomorrow, but I can't move until Kris is ready. I don't know why she hasn't been working on packing her stuff since August but I guess that is her deal. Too bad it affects me too.

Things are just so complicated. So complicated that I don't think I could explain things in full to anyone outside the situation. I can't wait to get away from the complication which is part of the reason I am making some of the decisions I am and not budging. I just can't do it anymore.

On to a couple more positive things.

I recently purchased 3 new patterning books. There are sort of two schools of flat patterning and I was struggling with the techniques that I learned in college. I got a new book with a different technique and I am have a lot more success. Things are turning out how I want them without so many test fits and mock garments. I have been making lots of things again and I am actually excited about making things again.

I made three Instructables for mixed drinks to enter in their "Cocktails vs. Mocktails" contest they are running. I have two more that I want to post if I get them ready in time. I am not much of a drinker and with the stress going on right now my fibro has come back in full force so alcohol is upsetting my stomach again. If you are curious, you can see my entries here.

I think my car is pissed at me. Took it home and she ended up needing a full tune-up, 2 tires replaced, and a new battery. Came out this morning and one of my tires is flat......

I was successfully able bring snow all the way from Des Moines to Dallas on the top of my car. My kitties are much pleased to have me home and I am much pleased to be done driving.

Plans are changing again.

This is seriously getting old.

So, I guess my dad is in a bad mood because either 1. my mom didn't give us a bunch of money for Chirstmas or 2. Kris and I didn't ask for money for Christmas.

I guess he is upset that Kris and I aren't greedy.

On a side note - Kris and I didn't get anything for Christmas from our parents which was to be expected. It has been years since we did anything other than make food to celebrate the holidays.

I'm having a really hard not arguing with him today. He has already had me out in the snow/rain taking pictures of the water running down our and the neighbor's yards so he can send the pictures to the mayor to complain. He got mad at me because I didn't just show him how to use my camera (he has never in his life used a digital camera) and send him out onto the slippery wet cement driveway. Thanks but, I'd like to keep my camera in one functioning piece.

Yay, you are going out of your way to be in a bad mood and to be mad. Gotta love Christmas!

I'm so glad this will be the last time I have to spend Christmas with my father.

Random ass question of the day: Did anyone else read the book "Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree" as a kid?

I cannot wait to move away from here.

1 month, 10 days (approximately).

I have been pretty absent from LJ lately (mostly because of Buffy) so I figure it is time to post an update.

I have big plans in the works. I am moving approximately 300 miles away and starting a whole new project. I am super excited but I don't like telling everyone my plans only to change them a week later so I will be a bit tight lipped until February when things start becoming real. I can't believe February is only a month and a half away. I should get to work!!
