Continuing the tradition, I am going to start the October roll call.
What happens or has happened already this month?

Fox and I have our one year anniversary this month! If all goes according to plan, by next October roll call we will have wedding photos to share. On a more personal note I am hoping to find time to be baptized this month, or early next. I have finally found a church I love and am moving along to the next step. Fox and I are going to be buying our first pet together in a few weeks as well. My beta passed away while we were on vacation last month and he will be replaced with our first joint pet. Fox has also been given fairly free reign to redecorate the bedroom and much to my delight it is currently very asian themed. We have plans to get together with a friend from here and do a photo shoot of he and I for our engagement pictures. I will also be doing one of Firesilk to add to their new pics. Silk's birthday was this past weekend and we had a little celebration.
I also have a friend I met through work who is a party planner and might be looking for a photographer for a few of his clients, for sit down shots to include in invitations and the like. Not much, but a start!

So, its been a busy month.
Who's next? Tell us whats going on!

October has been a mixed up month for me, the good and the bad are equal in their extremes...

I have this wonderful new boy that I grow more fond of daily. We live a little farther apart than is really convenient, but we are spending time together on the weekends and having lots of fun.

Tomorrow I will be attending the memorial service for a very good friend who passed early Saturday morning. Death can be a blessing, as it was for him. I am happy that he is no longer in pain, no longer in the hospital, and free to experience whatever it is that comes next for him. I will put to practice the lessons that I learned from him, most importantly that life is to be celebrated and enjoyed by the living, in the here and now, and not one moment is worth wasting.

My um was invited to be a part of the academically gifted and talented program in her school, and she comes home with great excitement about her daily science class...2nd grade and soon she will have surpassed the sum of my knowledge of the subject.

Work is work, drama ebbs and flows with the tide.

So, yeah, life on life's terms is good this month.

I just spent three weeks in CA visiting the newest addition to the family then capped it off with a few hours at Folsom with Ownedgirlie where we got to, briefly, meet Mercnbeth and SimplyMichael. This month is just more packing and coordinating efforts for our move to Portugal in January. Himself will be flying there on the 18th for nine days, securing our new residence, signing contracts and setting things in motion for his new job, so it will be just me and the pooch rambling around the house till he gets back then will be the election and our last two months in the US before we become residents of a new country.

i would say 'present', but with as long as i've been absent from this side of CM, it's more like saying 'i'm back' or introducing myself again.

so hi, i'm hopeless, i'm a recovering rantaholic. i prefer the mistress forums over my own or the general forums, and i have no plans pertinent to october aside from what is probably obvious.

may i take my seat now?

Sure Hopeless, you know we luv you.

ARGH! It's October. My life is a whirlwind that started way to early this year. I'm into the 11 hours, 6 days a week at work mess. That doesn't leave much time for anything else. Only 24 more days! Then I'll be free again. Exhausted, but free.

My best boy Westie continues to visit about once a month. Our last weekend together was odd but fun. We did manage to sneak in a rather impromptu session over at my storage house. Once again, the idea was raised that if we cleaned out the back room, it could be a major fun dungeon. Now that I have my boy to help, maybe we can get that done.

I am also on the horns of a dilemma. ... but rather than jack the thread, maybe I'll start another one.

Same old shit just a different month. My Father is still an invalid and its not expected he will get any better. His mental condition has deteriorated drastically however. My Mother is becoming more forgetful and acting wierd.

On the happy side sub is good, um is great, college is fun and I have a 4.0 gpa.

Sorry to hear that Lashra. My dad died last year after a not so long fight with cancer. He never would say the C word. He had 1/2 his bowel removed and all these other operations. Then he had ulcerations in the bladder that had him bed ridden with tubes 'flushing' his system 24/7. When he got to that point, he just gave up and let go. It was sad at the time, but it's a relief knowing that he's not suffering anymore. Sometimes, it's better when they're gone than to watch your parent suffer.

October is the beginning of Fall, Winter get togethers. I will be seeing a lot of friends and family that I have not seen in a while. The invites are already getting overwhelming. My calender is one mass of scribbles already. I have put in my Deer hunting and salmon fishing dates first. I love this time of year.

DV, congrats and I'm glad that things are good with You and fox. I painted trees on My bedroom walls so NOBODY gets to redecorate anything *laughs*
Lashra, I'm sorry to hear about your dad and your mom. Like MsStarlett, I lost My father not too long ago, but he suffered from kidney failure.
It is difficult to watch your parents fade.

chia-always a pleasure thanks for My morning obscurity. sambamanslilgirl- congrats to you too, I hear the smile in your words.
Dnomyar, the holidays can be very fast paced, I'm glad you get to see friends and family.

hopeless, welcome back.

My new job is going well, I've got a handle on most of it already. My pet is in college now, lamenting his former life of leisure. ums are settling into a routine. Most of My college classes are pass/fail so I don't have a GPA *frowns*
I'm going for an ultrasound and biopsy today... start bridgework for a cracked tooth next week. *sighs* October is a busy month.

October is the time a year that summer finally ends here. It is nice to go outside in the morning and think that 70 degrees is cold. Work is crazy. My lil finally had her Ultrasound sound done we are still waiting on the results from that. We go Wednesday afternoon for her MRI. I am hoping to get some answers about her health issues after that. But then we have to wait for the results and they take their time on that. I am looking forward to SWLC. I will get to see some friends that I have talked to for years but have never met face to face. I finally made it back to APEX after several years of not going. So my life is good.

October has always been my favorite month. Unfortunately, it's been on and off heat wave here in So Cal, and that's not very fun.

I've been lusting for one man that I can clearly never have, but it is making for great inspirational writing and a lot of wonderful displaced sexual aggression for my husband. He's now working nearly full time as we do a trial of sorts regarding how that will impact my work and serenity, and fortunately this experiment will end in a couple months and we'll evaluate. Business continues to be strong despite the economy, but I've increased the size of our "emergency nest egg" just in case.

Most exciting news is that my search for a second or third "play partner" in the flesh is going well. I have a few excellent potential candidates from collarme actually, including a local boy I am meeting later this week. If there's chemistry on both sides, the agreement is that we'll spend some time in a local dungeon on my dime, and I'll co-top him with a dominatrix. It's a long time fantasy of mine.

The other prospects are in other parts of the US, so I'll schedule some business travel for a quick meeting in the coming months to see if those work out. I can't deny that it's not putting a bit of an undercurrent of strain on my primary relationship, but we're working through it and moving in the right direction. My husband never had a problem with me doing anything online, on the phone, but in real life it's a whole new ballgame. For safety reasons, he really wants me to bring a girlfriend to the visits that are out of state if they are going to include play in a hotel. I'm fine with that, but it adds to the cost. The prospect of spending that kind of money to be stood up is a bit daunting, and we all know how the flake factor works...

Oh, and hockey season is starting. I'm officially in bliss.....

Congrats on the new pet DV. The UM's and I just adopted a butterscotch colored Australian Shepherd yesterday. She's good natured, healthy and well balanced. Hopefully this one is going to be a keeper and will want to stay around. I don't think we can handle losing a 3rd pet this year.

Like many others, I'm also taking two college classes this fall. I'm currently working on a new animation at the moment which is about to start keeping me pretty busy. I'm also getting up to speed with a new suite of software that took me 4 weeks to get installed & running properly on my machine. Grrr!

Mistress (Lady Pact) and I are continuing to develop our new relationship. Adjusting to the challenges of being long distance has presented it's difficulties for us, but we're dealing with them. I'm learning about what it means to be poly and trying to deal with the emotions involved with that. Yes, the ugly green giant of jealousy is a terrifying thing for me at times, but Mistress is gently guiding me through that. You might say I'm expanding, growing and stretching myself emotionally at the moment to meet the challenges of having a relationship with a very special woman; one who's been a very good friend for at least a year and a half and now, in leather terms, a Mistress who has me under consideration (and vice versa). She's been very forgiving and understanding when I've stumbled over my own two feet (duh, no excuses here *blushes*), teaching me how loving She can be. I feel very fortunate to have begun this journey with Her.

The UM's are adjusting to having a new step-father and step-brother living with them; something which has been quite stressful for them at times. They received news last month they'll be moving to a new community in Feb; thus new schools and friends. Fortunately for me, it's not on the other side of DFW, so the commute to get them to and from school won't be insurmountable when I have them with me. I see the concern in their faces while they try to be positive about it, fearing the wrath of their mom if they complain. They're both doing well in school in their gifted & talented programs, however both seem to be having some social problems. I'm watching them closely to try and support them in the changes they face during the coming months.

My condolences to those who are experiencing losses with loved ones in their lives at the moment.

October has been amazingly bad so far, so here's hoping that things improve. I'm still alone, still pondering a job change (yes, in Michigan), and trying to gear up for the tax season. I've been teaching a lot of continuing education classes, including a few that I have never taught before, so that is keeping me thinking. I am back to knitting! I am working on a project that has large areas of stockinette, which I can knit without actually looking at, so my television watching is not disturbed.

At the end of the month I will be attending the nuptials of Lady Rainfire and Lumus over in Ontario---I am the designated bridal hairdresser! Those of you that know me in realtime, I did used to have long hair that I pinned up in various decorative ways. I'll get to meet several other CMers, including my adorable Beargonewild.

Congratulations on the 4.0, Lashra! I am sorry about your parents... my grandmother's dementia was something of an issue, I know how you feel. My dad is still bonkers---chemo really fried his brain, or else it really IS a tumor, as mom suspects. Mom is doing poorly, as usual. Carol, too, though doing poorly is new to her. They are all around 70, and at the point where their bodies are beginning to betray them.

Heartfelt good thoughts and well-wishes to folk who are bearing illness or other struggles, either personally or with those you love. And congratulations to those with good news! New relationships, new pets, new waymarks. Crisp fall has arrived in the Carolinas and the change of seasons is welcome. Morning runs are so much easier in the mid-50s than the mid-80s. Some morning are so cool that I'm compelled to wear my tights which never fails to earn catcalls from the young ladies driving to the nearby high school. Yes, its pathetic; but it's also a tonic. :-P On the home front, not much progress would be measured. This would be somewhat deceptive as we have worked through several very difficult weeks. Demands on both our time outside the home have been intense but we've worked through this rough patch and I'm back to wooing. The house is cleaner than ever. :-)

Personally, I am much more at peace. Though not really closer to a solution, I am much more comfortable with myself and much less fearful of what the future might bring. Peace to all. tnc

We're MOVING! After diddling around for several years, trying to find a place that we liked that fit our budget, we finally found the place we fell in love with. Does it fit our budget? Yes... it will put some pressure on, but we'll be fine. OTOH, it gets us OUT of an apartment and into an absolutely DARLING duplex, built back in 1932, with its own fireplace in my Darling's and my room. The only other concern that I have is that our half the duplex is upstairs... with my MS, stairs are a huge challenge. Stairs while carrying anything are impossible. On bad days, it's going to take a long time to get upstairs after work... but the place was so perfect, there was no way we -couldn't- take it, even with the challenges it will bring.

October... wow, what happened to the rest of the year?

And welcome back hopeless... believe it or not, you were missed.

Well, this month started out with my finding my limitations on a few things. I had my motorcycle class on the first weekend and found out that I really need a lot of practice. Not just on the bike but in wearing shoes for that long! The neuropathy prevents me from so much, it's really starting to bug me... lol. And I managed to pick up a cold so I'm foggy right now.

But this is the month of Halloween!!! I'm hoping that erin and Abraxus will be able to make it down for that weekend! And maybe with a more private back yard twice will be able to consider doing the Wickerman. I'm just learning about all of that and would love to see it!

And yeah, I'm still alone, well, not alone, I am in a wonderful poly family. I just haven't found "mine" yet.

And I love these roll calls!

Jewel

You are so very right MsStarlett. I think I should feel gulity for wishing he would pass, but frankly, I do not. I know his suffering would be over and so would mine. Goddess I will miss him, he has been my best friend, Father, confidant and inspiration. But I'd rather see him pass then to suffer as he is now.

Thanks to Everyone for your understanding

i'm sorry to hear about the issues of family health people are having, the death of my parents has always been my greatest fear which i try to keep tucked back in my head and not think about, but once the rose colored glasses slip off, there's just no putting them back on.
