Perfect Imperfection

…Testing, Testing…

It’s been quite the hiatus while I focused on getting back to me. I’d say I’m sorry about that, but really, I needed it.

So… what’s up? How’ve you been? How’s the family?

Guess you might want to know the same, huh? Here’s the highlights:

  • Summer 2015: started preparing to put house on market to move to Florida and start over. Very much needed to hit that reset button.
  • October 2015: lost Marcia to suicide. I still don’t know how time managed to roll on.

  • Halloween 2015: #PeaceOutPA became official; moved to Florida
Moe
We all wondered that, Moe
  • November 2015: divorce finalized (finally!)
  • May 2016: gallbladder rebelled. Gallbladder evicted. (I always seem to have to have a medical problem)

It’s been pretty good since the gallbladder came out. Learned a lot about people. Learned a lot about how I should be treated. Cut quite a few people out. Not interested in keeping folks in my life who only want to be friends when it’s convenient for them.

I met a fella before the gallbladder incident who was a fellow Florida transplant. He quickly became one of my best friends and has been one of my most vocal supporters. He’s the one who convinced me to get back into crafting. So here we are.

Perfect Imperfection is back – with knitting, sewing, and geek design.

So stay tuned. erinzebrowski.com is slowly getting a facelift.

Because, you know what?

Plot Twists & Remembering What’s Really Important

by Leave a Comment

It’s been a couple of rough months around here. Probably the worst few months of my life – and that’s saying something. Just like with my blood clots, maybe me opening up about it will help someone else. Maybe it’ll just help me. But now that I’m on the road to breaking even, let’s talk about my absence, shall we?

By now you’ve read about my pulmonary embolism incident back in November (if not, seriously – go read up, I’ll wait).  When I first wrote about it, I called it “the day everything changed.”

I didn’t realize how true that was.

Pardon the Interruption

First person to guess this reference gets a gold star.

There’s been a little upheaval around erinzebrowski.com – hang tight, I’ll be back.  Just gotta figure a couple things out.

I have a few more posts just shivering with anticipation on being posted.  Other things need to come first.

First off, I want to thank you for stopping by to read this.  And last week’s post.  I never thought that something I posted would get that kind of traffic.  It was hard to make the post last week about something so personal, but I’m hoping that my slight discomfort about being so open can help someone else.

March is Blood Clot Awareness Month and it’s unfortunate how few people know about the damage that blood clots can do.  It just isn’t a big story in the media, and as someone who worked in the media, I can tell you that it never occurred to me.  It almost seems like a freak occurrence – to either get or be killed by a blood clot.  But if you have the risk factors (or risk activities), it can happen.  It happened to me.
