Okay, okay, I realize that I have been quiet for far too long. Last week was a busy week and it didn't help that K was out of work all week with a bad cold. I was ill for a couple of days with what I thought was food poisoning, now I believe it was an intestinal virus that is going around. The house felt like a sick ward.

Not too much to report. I received my promotion, which is good news. I also participated in the kick-off reception for a networking/development training program that I was selected to join. My career is going well. I keep hoping that it won't be a point of contention for K, as we do work in the same (albeit) large organization. Unfortunately, that leads her to compare our career paths, which have been different.

K's path has had many more hurdles and obstacles. Mine has been relatively smooth with only one bad manager or two tossed in the mix. What my promotion does is put me in a higher position than K, earning more money. When she's upset, she does focus on the difference a bit and with her office in chaos this is just another black mark against them in her mind.

We've somewhat resolved issues with the basement contractors. They are currently assessing the situation and will propose resolutions. But they didn't try to argue or defend their actions. We're not too irritated with them at the moment. We also, tentatively, agreed that they would push to have the basement complete by July 1 and provide us a schedule to achieve that goal.

Things are okay, not great. Our four year anniversary, since the commitment ceremony, is tomorrow. I haven't done anything and neither has K. We've been talking about going to dinner either tomorrow or Friday. We'll see.
