BIG News

Usually I write on this blog about quilts and books. Maybe some movies, or trips we’ve taken. I’ve written about things I’ve seen online, or funny observances. I used to write a lot about Loki (fyi: He is still the cutest cat in the world and does really silly and funny things. He can open our closed pantry door, likes to sleep on top of cabinets and misses grilled pork with the coffee spice rub).

Anyway, there are things that I don’t really write about here, and I’m not sure why. I am a pretty open person who finds it hard to keep a secret…so what’s the big deal? I don’t know. Maybe I’m afraid that I’ll jinx it. But on the other hand, it isn’t like I’ve told everyone that I regularly talk to. I have worries and fears, but am also relieved, excited and extremely happy that we are choosing a different path. It will be a big change, but I feel ready for something like that. Wow, it sounds like we are joining the peace corps or something (we’re not)…it starts with B and ends in ington. This time next year I hope to have my life here turned upside down.

I have also been reluctant to write about work, partly for practical purposes and partly because it would make for some boring reading. But, currently I am applying for a promotion at work, which is really scary! I have done the same job in my organization for 5 years now, and it is time for a change. 5 years is the longest I’ve ever worked anywhere! So far, I am going through two phases, one where I feel confident about what I’ve done at work so far, so therefore feel confident about the new position. And then the other phase where I can feel under prepared, critical about myself, nervous and barfy. Maybe I’ve just jinxed myself by actually WRITING about this new position and how much it would mean to me.

I have a few days until I am off to Detroit! I can’t wait!
