Been a rough couple of weeks...

Between TRYING to finalize this new system and switching out computers to Windows 10, I'm just about dead. I've been accused of stealing people's computers without telling them (even though everyone knew what I was doing), I've been yelled at because Windows 10 sucks (tell me something I don't know, it's why I got a Mac), I've been without help from anyone and have been working hours NO ONE should be working, but I still (somehow) managed a bit (a very tiny bit) of stitching.

I left off here a couple of weeks ago:
NightWish040
And I've literally stitched three days since, but here you go:
NightWish043
As of right now, I'm not ready to put her down yet, but that could change. I'm still not sure when I'll get to stitch again because there is still SOOO much work to be done. They keep pushing go-live back on me and I just want it all over with so life can get back to normal, but I doubt that will be for a long while.

During a really bad day last week, I did quit and I meant it (although I didn't give written notice...yet). I said I'd finish out the project, but then I was done and it was the first night I slept good in a while. Whether or not I feel the same when all is finished, might be another story. I don't have another job lined up, so I'd have to find one. There is a nibble I'm not publicly ready to talk about (just yet), but it would mean a far away move and I'm not sure I'm ready for that either. But then again, I've spent my entire life whining about how much I hate the South and how I don't have a Southern bone in my body, so a move to this location would make sense (it's still in the States, FYI). There is a lot to consider though. I need to focus on the tasks (multiple tasks that is) at hand first before I consider looking for another job or even just quitting altogether, especially in anger.

I'll try to keep stitching though because it helps a WHOLE bunch when I can!

Sorry your job is so hectic right now, although it does seem to be hectic all the time. Maybe a change is just what you need. Beautiful stitching!

I'm so sorry that work is stressing you out so much Keiley. Been there, done that. Boy I sure am happy to see you stitching again. I sure have missed it. Hang in there. Things will work out.

Go for it! They don't appreciate you where you do work so grab the chance to try somewhere else,
The purple is a lovely colour to stitch with too.
So much work and so little stitching time :(
I am, of course, not going to tell you what to do, but if you want my opinion at all, I'm with Jo...if you get a chance to leave (your job, mostly, but a place you're not happy living in as well), and you can muster the courage, I say go for it!

You are definitely taken for granted in that place. If you think you'll be happier in that nibble and can make it work, please go for it. Life is too short to not enjoy it.

Just an FYI, I did get your email but not a chance to sit and try things out so when I do I'll get back to you :)

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
