(no subject)
Helped a friend move some furniture into his new house yesterday. He's also a co-worker. He's 31, he's dating (and living) with a 20 year old girl. She's a really cool girl, in college for physical therapy. Has a cute little daughter. My buddy is a pretty wild dude, but he's calming down.
I love their house, it'd make an awesome bachelor pad. It's a two-bedroom, built in 2009. It's kind of small, but its in a very nice neighborhood. They are doing a rent-to-own thing. $750 a month, and after the first year they have the option to buy. 75% of the rent they pay goes towards the down-payment. They got such a good deal because my buddy's girlfriend mom is the realitor who got them the house.
Talked to my ex tonight. We got things straightened out, I think I got the closure I need now. But wow, what a delayed reaction. We broke up in August, I was fine with it. in late November we met at a bar where we first met. We saw each other once or twice after than in December. It was a bit more than platonic but not really dating. Then she started dating another guy seriously. He was a loan officer at a bank. That's when I got messed up pretty bad. Fortunately for me, when things are going to shit, I don't have any self-destructive behaviors. Quite the opposite, I work like hell on a solution to get out of that situation. My solution at the time was lining up a better job for myself, signing up for the latest ultrasound courses, and getting the hell out of this cold part of the country. Well that's still the path I'm on right now. I leave for Alabama Feb 20, going to take a two week phased array course, then head down to Houston for a job interview.
My goals are simple. I want a job I enjoy, one that provides me with enough income to raise a family when the time comes, and someone who accepts me as much as my ex did. The only thing lacking from her was the support for my career. Some weeks I would drive a thousand miles to get to testing sites, and not be home for days (sometimes up to six weeks) at a time. So basically I need someone who supports my decisions too. Rational ones anyways.
Well anyways, I hope I can maintain this feeling of acceptance of the situation. That would be awesome. But if not, I'll just turn those negative emotions into motivation like I always do.
