  How many years have I been coming to OD and truly venting?  It's like an old friend, one who does not mind if I fail to keep in touch for a while.  I read my last entry and my daughter was 7 months old at the time.  Well, she's now an 18 month old busy…

  So it's been almost 15 weeks since I last posted about how I'm really doing!  I suppose it's about time for a proper update.  March and April were slightly stressful for me.  Being in my first trimester, the morning sickness kicked in 100% and I had a very hard time of it... I was ...

  What is the one thing in life you care most about?:  At the moment the one thing I care most about is the health of my baby - I just want to know that everything is okay in there!  What is the thing that gives you the most joy in the world?:  Spending time with…

  It has really been months and months, hasn't it?   Here's a quick rundown of what I've been up to.  - Since my last entry I've been working for an IT Resourcing company.  I'm an account manager and recruiter, and I've definitely been enjoying it.  - Kevin moved in with me...
