State of the Onion

General
So, it's been a while since I've posted any updates. Life has been "interesting", in the "May your life be interesting" Chinese curse kind of way.
Back in June,
flenhah 's parents invited us to Disney for a week. It was an amazing vacation, and well needed. I took the opportunity to propose to Flen; because I realized quite quickly that he was the one person I wanted to spend my life with. And he said yes. ^^ We haven't set a date yet, but it will obviously be in a state that supports gay marriage; as Georgia has yet to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century on this topic. Even if my state doesn't legally recognize it (yet), marriage is more to me a symbolic commitment to one person than a legal construct. So fuck Georgia.
Work has been incredibly time-consuming lately. In the past two months, I've lost three employees (which are not easy to replace given the high standards this site places on security), two investigations involving site employee misconduct and two involving safety issues (involving one termination and one arrest- not my employees, but the Client's, thankfully) and one actual fire with subsequent damage at the Client site. Add on to that a former roommate with whom I co-own a house, that I gave up all interest in four years ago after I lost my job, with his blessing, who now wants me to pull $45,000 out of my ass to pay off my half of the mortgage; the same mortgage that I gave up all interest in, with his blessing at the time. Yeah. I'm living month-to-month with all the debt I got into after two years of unemployment; I'm sure someone will give me an unsecured $45,000 loan. I told him to go pound sand, unless he's willing to give me interest back in the equity of the house upon it's sale; and even then, I would only be able to contribute so much towards the equity payment, and then only after I've settled my other debt. So, needless to say, after work I come home in zombie mode and really don't want to engage my brain.
But, I have Flenhah, who has been incredibly supportive in the face of his own work issues and uncertainty about where the whole mortgage debt thing puts us. I couldn't do it without you, pup... I love you.
But this also means that MFM is pretty much a no-go for us this year. FWA, possibly; depending on the timing of the wedding. And that I haven't done any writing in a long while.
