A brief update.
Life in general is relatively good. Of course, everyone has small issues that sometimes preoccupy their minds more than they really should... but I have always been of that nature and do not intend on changing. The best I can do is to keep these things from affecting others, and the best way is to keep the small, obsessive delusions and paranoia to myself. It is all rather self-absorbed anyhow.
Aside from that, I am still very happy with my new job. It is challenging and difficult and I love it. Granted, some days seem to drag, but that is to be expected in any profession. But damn! When it's on, it's on! That, and the people I work with are wonderful. Practical jokers...pretty much all of them. Makes for a wonderful work environment. They have also been incredibly understanding with the time off I have needed lately (an entire day last week, and several hours a day in the past three days... twice for doctor's appointments and today for a CT Scan). I am amazed at how some organizations really do care about their employees and will go to great length to aid them. I only wish that more people could experience this sort of phenomenon (and that it wasn't a phenomenon at all), as the people in my life tend to be so very unhappy with their work situations. I feel a bit bad about enjoying my job so much... just a bit... but the way I see it, I endured the hell-environment for long enough, paid my dues and deserve this. *nod*
So, all is well.
And I apologize for the lack of communication with those that I care about. I have been secluded a bit and in that seclusion have found no desire to turn on my computer (or in some cases, to pick up the phone). I am still lacking some sort of balance in my life, but I have faith that I will align at some point.
All for now... time to return to work.
