Change is coming
so 2007 is now squarely upon us and a few changes are being made to start the year. I am looking for a new car this weekend seeing how my jeep is gasping its last breaths and it will cost just way to much to fix her. I will be moving in 3 weeks or by the 31st into my apartment. They get the deposit and application fee tomorrow. And I am dating again. So life is starting to look up. My relationship with my kids just keeps getting better and better too.
The last 6 months have been tough. Mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally. As I still miss Gen, I have started to move on with my life. I had a headhunter call me out of the blue today and they are interested in me for an Assistant GM position of one of the City Clubs here. While I like the company I work for, I have become jaded over the past couple of months. Many promises have not been kept and its starting to wear thin so this may be an opportunity to get back into the industry I love, without having to go back into the kitchen. We'll see. I definitely won't make any rash decisions. And with this being a fairly large company that owns this club, an actual CONTRACT would be guaranteed. And the base pay doesn't suck.
I have lost 60 pounds and gone from a 42-44 inch waist down to a 34. I am able to buy large shirts and sweaters instead of XL or XXL. I haven't done that since high school. My cholesterol is finally coming down and so is my blood pressure. I started working out and actually look good again.
I have also made a ton of new friends the last 6 months and my social calender stays full. It's a nice feeling to know you have friends you can count on.
So I guess what I'm saying is that even though 2006 was rough in many aspects, there were some good things that happened too. I just don't like the circumstances that led to these good things. There were many aspects that were handled wrong on both parts. Especially by me. Having now said that, I do look forward to what the coming year brings and the people I'll meet and the things I will do. It won't always be easy, but I bet its one hell of a ride.
