what? Ash is alive?!
Yes, indeed, I do live!
First, a quick question: Ginger Dragon and Hirtzenocker - did you receive the card and CD I sent you? PLease let me know :D
Okay, now onto business!
Things are going well for me, though my hours have been cut back (due to things being slower after Christmas) and a few issues coming up (car needing to have things fixed and other life things). But, on a whole, allis well.
Christmas was really awesome, having mom over to visit was a pleasant change and I really enjoyed haaving her around. Our New Years was quiet, which is what I needed - celebrated it with Dad and a few of his friends... lit some fireworks and just had a pleasant time.
Since then, I have really only been working and trying to get life a bit more organized. I have been fighting on and off with a bit of depression - finding it difficult when faced with certain responsibilities and just general life stuff... especially when faced with rememering what it was like to travel and really only be resonsible for myself and the few things I carried with me. It is difficult to retain some of the freedom that seems to only come with the travel that I did. It is also difficult to settle back into a stable life where I have things and I am not always on the move. It is nice, in many ways, so please don't get me wrong. I am happy to be back and to have a home and a wonderful relationship.
Just every once in a while I miss travelling. I miss the experiences that I had and the things that I did. I miss the people that I have met and I miss getting to spend days just wandering around from coffee shop to coffee shop - or spending a week just puttering around beaches in Spain. I think of the places that I did not go and think about how much I would like to go see them. Of course, the best thing is, I know that I will travel again (not in the way that I did, mind you) and I will get to see those places that I missed and get together with friends that I met.
Being in Prince George has been strange... I have been able to experience a side of it that I never allowed myself to see in the past, usually just choosing to think of it as a dirty and nasty place to be. Instead, I can now respect it as a growing community with many opportunities for any person who decides to try and make a life here.
Of course, I am still not intending to stay her long term - in the grand scheme of what I want for my future, I find that it will not provide me with what I need... though it comes close.
Anyways, I guess I just wanted to write and say that all is well and that I miss you all. I don't get online as often as I used to... partially because I don't have time, partially because I don't have the patience for the dial up and partically because I have other things to do when I am at home. *grins*
I am sure that you all understand!
Hope that all is well with everyone... much love! Will stop my ramblinng now for Finn is done finding the books that he wants and we need to get home so I can get ready for work. Wee!
