Finally Back to Blogging
Posted By The Nude Nerd on October 27, 2009
Yeah, I’ve been out of blogging for awhile now. Between everything that has changed in life for Klutzy Shutterbug and me, it kinda just fell by the wayside. Hopefully, I’ll change that now that life is starting to settle back into a norm. Only time will tell, right?
You may be asking what changed so much in our life… or you might not care at all, but I’ll tell ya anyways. For those who haven’t really followed this blog at all, I was a member of the U.S. Army for the past 13 years. Note the “was“. Almost 3 years ago now, I started having pain in my hip. I went to the doctor and found out after a long, drawn out evaluation that I had what is known as a labral tear. Several months later, I had major hip surgery. The doctors successfully repaired the problem, I don’t have the pain levels that I did before surgery… but I was not able to do things I used to. After 2 years of going to various physical therapies and realizing that I just couldn’t do the running, jumping or carrying heavy loads, I got sent to a medical board. They decided I was unfit for duty, and as of September 9, 2009 – I am now a civilian.
It’s been a little strange, going through the transition – all I’ve known is the Army, since I was 17. I’ve traveled to many places and seen many things I never imagined seeing as a kid, and I appreciate the things the Army did for me, but honestly – I’m rather glad to be out. It’s not the same Army that I remember. But that’s another subject entirely.
Nowadays, I am working as a contractor for the U.S. Army, doing the same secret squirrel stuff that I was doing while in the military. I’m making LOTS more money, and enjoying the fact that I managed to get a job back in our hometown, where both of our families live. I work a bit of a weird schedule, but the pay easily makes up for that – we’re living a lot better than we ever were in the Army.
Anyways, I should be back to blogging hopefully a lot more… feel free to comment anytime!
Does this mean a return to EVE? ^_^
Honestly, I’m not sure at this point. I’ve already got so much going on, but I have been considering it. Hell, I’ve been bouncing between games like crazy – re-opened my WoW account, paid $$ to transfer servers and change factions, played for a week and haven’t logged in for more than a week now. I’m actually downloading the client for Eve now but there’s no guarantee I’ll reactivate. Any major changes or such in the past 6 months?
*sighs* back to Eve huh? Seriously? Always the last to know….and I sit 5 feet away. LOL
