What's Been Going On...
Hey all. I decided to sit down and actually do some journal writing this afternoon just to give everyone an idea about what's going on in the world of me.
Things have been quite stressful the last few weeks simply because yours truly got himself into a bit of a bind dealing with his finances and things have come to a head this week. Actually, things came to a head two weeks ago Saturday when I basically told my mom everything that been on my shoulders for the last few years or so and how I was feeling about things and how really shitty I was feeling at the time.
You see, we all have our own stresses in life and we have our own work related issues. My job is not easy and not peaceful. In fact on those days that things go bonkers, it in fact becomes extremely stressful in my mind. It's hard to hear people bitch about things that makes you really wonder what this world is coming to. Of course, Margaret's story fits pretty easily into this post as well.
Anyway, when I get stressed out, I start to buy things. But these are things that others would consider not really worth anything at all. It makes me feel better that I actually can go out and get something. Unfortunately, when you get depressed, things get screwy and sometimes it gets out of hand. I really didn't realize how badly I was off at school until I Started to think about some things and then realized that yeah, I was pretty depressed back then for various reasons under the great blue sky that we call Earth.
So everything came out on that night after work. It had been busy as all hell, I couldn't really handle anything else and my Mom approached me about a letter that I got from my credit union about my credit card... and voila... that was a recipe for basically what we call a disaster. But in fact, it sort of helped me and allowed me to get my mind back into some sort of order. It's not nearly perfect, but at least I can breathe and walk around without any problems.
There have been issues on the physical front as well. It turns out that today I had a couple of skin samples taken, otherwise known as biopsies on my back to see if I have any malignant growth. They are all over my back and chest and arms but the doctor took a couple of samples to make sure that everything is okay. Also, after getting the results of my blood tests back, it was discovered that everything is fine except for the fact that my 'good cholesteral' is low. This is genetic carried on by my mother so that's nothing major. The doctor said I should exercise more, but considering that I'm the skinniest guy in the world and live in Niagara Falls, it's going to be hard to exercise during the winter.
Work has had its busy days and then its slow days. Everyone has been saying about lay off etc. in the center which might happen over the holiday season. Things have been going very screwy with guidelines being changed as well as people being demoted to different positions due to having an over abundance of people when all was said and done. Who knows what is going to happen there.
Other than that, I guess things are okay. My nephew is fine and my brother and sister-in-law are doing good. Saw them for Christmas as well as seeing my father's relatives as well. Now I'll get to see all of my mother's relatives when we get together for her birthday on December 10th. It's supposed to be a surprise party but that was blown out of the water last year.
Anyway, that's it from here. I'm still plugging along with various RPG projects as well as some fan fiction (you can read it at www.fanfiction.net under the GI Joe category) if you want to get a laugh.
Take care and be safe this holiday season!
