Life has been full, lately. And strange. But good, mostly.

There have been a lot of changes. Things learned, things refined, things lost.

One of the things lost seems to have been blogging. I haven't been truly blogging much anywhere. I've been doing more of what the cool kids seem to be calling "lifestreaming". I suppose I need to get my FriendFeed more fleshed out with RSS things. I have a lot, a lot of services I use, and probably add one a week or so to that list, but haven't caught up with putting them all into FF. Mostly I was hoping FF would add them as standard services, but there's no reason not to add them myself for now. I haven't been journaling much, either, which is something I want to get back to (where dedicated blogging I can see myself moving away from), both for stress relief and so my feeble writing skills don't fall away altogether.

As for life, well. Where to start?

School is much different at almost-30 than almost-20. I walked away with a 4.0, but it was much harder to get through the course work with the level of output I expect from myself. Still, I am looking forward to next semester.

I'm always knitting. I've started sewing, though I really need a different space to sew in. For now I'm mostly doing cloth pads and bags because they are small and I can cut them out in the space I have. I've stopped baking, mostly, because I need to learn how to bake gluten free, and that isn't cheap or easy.

Oh, that. I should back up.

Long story short, I found a bit of information about a link between PCOS and gluten intolerance. I pursued it and found that, for me at least, it rings true. I had stopped cycling, even on birth control pills. Now, for the first time in my life I am cycling normally even off of them. And that's just one of a dozen changes in my health since going this route. We'll see where it takes us, but so far it's nothing but good. It explains a lot (including finally explaining how I could ovulate and not have a period during fertility treatments). I am still struggling with fatigue, but my body has a lot of healing to do, so I expect that will be a little while in changing.

What else? In November or December we'll be moving. We let go of the house thing for now. The economy is just too frightening. So we're relocating closer to Shawn's job, to a better apartment complex, and a slightly larger apartment. It's also closer to most of our friends, so, extra bonus.

Beyond that I think I am just focusing more on being and doing than on having. I am taking in information, but don't often feel the need to comment on it. I like to see what everyone else is saying. At some point, again, I'm sure verbal/textual contribution will be more important to me, but for now my energy is elsewhere, and that's not a bad thing.
