So yeah. Because of that, and because of the fact that I do alot more other stuff than sit in bed writin' about my experiences now.. The 'Story of my Recovery' is pretty much over.
I may turn it into a 'in dead tree format' book someday- In fact I have an offer to spend some time at a beautiful young lady's house this summer- Her vision is to have me sitting out in her yard under the trees, working on my book while she brings me iced tea and other sundry refreshments. Dunno if that will take place, but she says when she see's things, they happen. 'Cource I'd absolutely love for that particular scenario to come to pass.. But I believe there's a few things need worked out before it can. So we'll see.

This place will continue to live- Some parts will be updated- projects and plants most likely.. Maybe the kids, if they'll hold still long enough. Other parts will remain static. WHich ones? Well, if it doesn't change, then you've found it.

I still write about "life" type stuff.. Sometimes. When & if I do, you can find it here or here. Sometimes they say the same thing.. Sometimes not. Depends.

Let's see.. What else has changed?
Nicole is gone. Been gone 'bout a year. 'Cource 90% of her stuff's still here- WHich is cool as some of her stuff's holding up some of my stuff.. Stuff I can't move by myself. Deal is it can stay till I move, as she has no place for it at the moment. (nevermind putting it where it was before she moved in, I guess.. But anyway..)

I am moving.. Fairly soon. Got into OSU- Why there rather than CSU CHico right here in town? Chico doesn't have a major in botany- Nor does it have a minor in entrepreneurship- Something I'm definatelyinterested in, since it's something I'm trying to do all by myself already. Plus I *really* need to get out of this house and out of this town. Too many memories of the ex around here. Hard to move on when I'm constantly reminded, you know?
I moved here to do the computer programmer thing reccomended by my state voc. rehab person. Didn't do so well.. The math kinda got me, also the thought of spending hours & hours sitting at a keyboard coding wasn't so appealing. So I tried their suggestion. Now it's time to try mine.
So in order to get up to OSU I've got to get the (California) State department of Rehab online- They'll pay for the school.. I've got to get OWCP in gear as well, as they might cover the cost of the move.. Might not need their help tho as there's a whole posse of folks who have said "When you move let me know".. So we'll see. Gots to find a house up there too- Might just buy one. KInda tired of renting & throwing away a grand a month.. I'd rather have something for all that money, you know? And when I'm done with school & it's time to move on? Rent it out & let someone else pay the morgage. Or just sell the place. Dunno, not there yet.

THings are going well over on Crew13.com- Over the winter I came up with a toy hose clamp & a roller- Both have been prototyped & tested and are in production. All by me- Well, 'cept for the testing. But everything else is all me- The idea, building, rebuilding, finding parts... All that jazz. But anyway, I sell the stuff I've invented now. Oh, and no, I don't have a patent. Those are expensive, and while I *am* looking into the prospect, I just don't have 5 to 7K to drop on that right now. So think about it before you say "What if someone steals your idea?" Who would and why? They don't know how I made it.. Oh wait! I AM making them! So it's WAY past the "idea" stage. I would like some company to make them for me tho, and for that I do need a patent. At least as far as I know.. Which prolly isn't much more than you do.

But things are going well, all 'cept for the "girlfriend" part.. But who knows, maybe someone will fall from the sky someday. *shrugs*.. Gettin' kind of tired of that particular emotional rollercoaster, but you can't plan when you meet someone- All that can be done is hope for the best. And that she doesn't rip your heart out and crush it before your eyes.. But that's a whole 'nother story.

So anyway, I may not post here ever again.. Or maybe I will. Who knows.
