Its been a long time coming. I've neglected my writing this summer, both her and on paper. I find that when I abandon writing, part of my soul is discontented and things go awry. Such has occurred. I wound up in the hospital twice since I've last written, both for extended stays. Due to that, I won't be buying a house any time soon. The silver lining here is that I don't really love Phoenix that much anyway, so I now have an out. I think after my five years are up I'm going to search for jobs in Sedona or Flagstaff. Either of those places are more for me. Sedona is a little uppity, but I love the red rock country. Flagstaff is like Marquette in AZ, so you know I could love that.
I've had a lot to think about in the past two weeks. I think I'm growing stronger after this last experience. I don't want to be off work as much as I'm going to be, but I'll do what I'm told. I don't want to lose my job, so one must maintain at whatever costs are necessary.
I've learned: I'm not good at finishing things that I start. I've learned that I am good a coming up with new ideas. I've learned that there are things about myself that I hate, and there are things about my past I cannot change. I've learned that in the end, it really is only about me, and my life; I'm responsible for living the life I want, and only I can achieve that. I've learned that in order to be a successful we, one must be successful @ being a me. I'm working on that me thing. I'm not going to lie though, there are definitely a few man friends I still will be hanging out with. (They feed me ok)
I'm going to finish the laundry I started. Maybe change my bed sheets.
