Good Lord! Another 5.5 Years

I am absolutely terrible at this. I love writing but clearly, I get busy and completely forget that this even exists. Obviously, I'm great at naming blogs though because this is definitely Life in Retrospect! Wow, August 2013 was so long ago now. Here is the quick and dirty.

1. I'm living with my soulmate. He's an amazing man who can also drive me up the freaking wall.
2. We have a high maintenance cat that is awesome. He's only high maintenance because he had diabetes and chronic kidney disease. So, he gets insulin 2x per day and subcutaneous fluids every day. No vacations for us together right now.
3. I work for the same company that I did the last time I posted, it's been almost 11 years. WTF. I've had promotions and job role changes. Right now I have an awesome team, we are small but mighty
4. I am at a new skating club but still have a lot of responsibility. I'm good with it.
5. I coach more than I skate. I have awesome students who are working so hard to improve. Watching them learn and grow is amazing. I'd love for that to be my full-time job!
6. I just had my gall bladder removed. Fancy.
7. I had the most amazing 40th birthday, garage party at the Garland's. Pinata smashing, Cards Against Humanity playing, and Karaoke singing all included. It's almost time for birthday 45! How does that happen?!
8. Because of #1 above I'm now a 45-minute drive from work. So, I have an obsession with audiobooks. I've listened to at least 6 books in the last 3 months. I should really start an audiobook review blog that I rarely post to

That about sums up the key happenings of the last 5.5 years!
