Happy Spleen…

So much has happened since last we chatted, but at the same time, not much has.
Thats the name of the game right, balance…

This is officially the longest I’ve gone between posts.

I started a new job three weeks ago. So far so good.
Akari (salon and spa) is a four minute walk from my front door. Since we live, and would like to remain living in, downtown Portland, it seemed feasible for me to find a job in the city so we didn’t need to get another car.
(I’ll fill you in more later.)

For the first time in well over a year, we are going to get to see the majority of peoples faces.
I’m both excited and weirded out by it.

Wow, these pictures are old.

I got sick in February, I kinda lost my shit: mentally and physically. It consumed me for three months. Very dark days in the Constantine household…
I’m felling pretty ok now.

I’m happy it’s finally Spring, this winter was painfully long.

Sun on my face is my new favorite thing.

I love you all.
Just so you know.

We still go to the beach as much as we can. The boy needs to run. One downside to summer is the beaches are closed to dogs most of the day.
We just plan better.

He’s not a puppy anymore.

This was one of my first real meals in a very long time. When you spend an extended period drinking your food, you appreciate meatballs when you finally get them.
(SLAB, one of our Portland favorites.)

We stopped for lunch at a place by the side of the road on a recent day trip. They just happened to be playing music. So we got lunch and CCR covers… We have good luck.

Blueberry cheesecake for me, Coffee for the Mr.

Now that it’s warmer, I’ll actually go out at night and photograph. I greatly dislike the cold. I’m weak, I admit it.
I also feel better having a companion that looks like he could eat your face off.
