A llittle bit dangerous, but baby that's how I want it

I could have sworn I deleted this again after the last post. Seriously? I know nothing is ever deleted off the internet, but this is just getting silly. I thought I saw an option labeled 'delete blog', but who knows at this point.

So, where are we?

Well, lots of things have changed. Also, nothing.

I'm 35 now, just celebrated New Year's Eve 2018.

Starmount was acquired by Infor, and some things have changed. I'm working on a giant project similar to what I've always been working on, just new client and new software. Strongly considering a new job, but haven't made a decision either way yet. I haven't really done anything towards looking for a new job - I'd need to update my resumè, my LinkedIn, etc. Let's see how it goes once I return after my recent two weeks vacation.

Socially, not much is going on. Nygren introduced me to her circle of friends, and I've joined that. So that's pretty awesome, made like 11 new friends in one go. Started playing games online with a group I met through Jarrod's wife's brother's girlfriend. They're a lot of fun, though as Overwatch's popularity has waned with the group, so has my participation. Hung out with Emily for two months, then we broke up in a really silly fight. The whole thing was a slow motion train wreck and we both knew it, but it was a fun journey. Nothing much has happened after that. Have had a crush on Nygren for a few years, but nothing's happened, for various reasons - she's probably not the right girl, I'm definitely not the right guy, it's not the right time, etc. There's a new girl at work, Kiran, but that's just a combination of us getting along really well and me easily forming attachments. So yeah, those are both probably nothing and I need to move on with life.

Speaking of which - life in general. Not doing so well here. Haven't lost substantial weight (gained some, in fact). I'm about 20 pounds under my heaviest. Made a couple decent goes at it, and I'm starting another run now. But it has to happen for anything else to happen. Haven't seen a dentist, doctor, or therapist yet, all of which I need to do before I can consider myself a success at adulting.
