So on April 3rd, I start a "NEW" Blog and for 2 months it just SITS here.  No posts, no activity.... NOTHING.

One would think I was the most boring person on earth. NOTHING happened in 2 months time?

Quite the contrary, plenty has happened.  I've got a ANOTHER new job after shuffling around call centers as a "sales" rep for the past 2 years, not making near the money I used to make as a Web Developer/IT Manager.  Like many people the past few years has been tough.  Layoffs, career changes, losses of people in my life... you name it, it's come at me like a relentless freight train.

Despite all the negative things going on in my life, I always remind myself that someone else has it worse than I do. It's the truth. So I keep trudging along knowing that no matter what, as long as I have a roof over my head and something to eat... I'm OK, and the rest will play itself out.

I also had surgery during this time... nothing really major, just a sinus surgery that desperately needed to be done and couldn't be put off any longer.  One look at the post-op pictures told the story.  My left sinus cavities, ALL of them, were stuffed with what I can only describe as something that looked like Elmer's glue.  Part of the reason for the condition is the remnants of a fight I was in many years ago while I was in the Navy.  The left side of my face was caved in and some bone fragments nearly closed off my upper left sinus from the rest of it all.  Over the years, it eventually did close it off and the infections started and never went away.  Since Christmas I was constantly having headaches, lack of energy..... generally just felt like crap most of the time with brief periods of feeling well while antibiotics tried to do their thing. All the antibiotics failed and surgery was the final option.  I'm glad I got it done!  I just had the surgery this past Thursday, so I'm still not 100% yet, but I can tell life is going to be easier once the healing is complete.

So it's onward and upward from here!
