Updates and Stuff

Sep 11, 2011 21:16

Been away for a little while so I thought some updates were in order.

Home: Things are going pretty well. I am settling in here in Wadsworth. I still not have decided whether or not I plan to stay here after Spring, we shall see. Emotions are still super roller coastery when it comes to Sandy dying. I miss her a great deal and it tends to hit me most when I come home from work. For years and years that was "our" time when I would sit and visit with her and we would catch up on each other's days. Sometimes I am ok and sometimes I just sit there and cry. I am happy she is no longer in pain and suffering but at the same time I miss her so much ...

Dating: Some of you may have saw a post where I said I met a boy. Yes I deleted it. His name is John, he is 20, and works as a model and recruiter/manager for Abercrombie and goes to school at Kent State. (please don't harp on me about dating/liking younger guys) I am soooo not ready for a relationship right now. This current episode is just evidence of that. He is adorable, sweet, friendly, open, and fun -- and just that right amount of gay bitchiness that I absolutely love. He is the first person I have met in a long time that I really, really liked right off the bat. And he approached me! But then it got ugly. I didn't hear from him and I jumped to assumptions that something had changed. He did text me today just to say that he isn't ignoring me just super busy and asking me not to take it personally. I really do want to go on a date with him though I know I am in no place to be in a relationship with anyone (and neither is he with work and school being so crazy). I hope to see him tomorrow night (the original plans we made last Monday) not a date just hanging out at the local bar. Whether or not we ever do date I hope we become friends.

Work: Has been going well. The new job is cool, I really do like it. I had a really stressful Friday morning though. The feedback I have received so far is that I am doing very well and it doesn't even feel as if I am still in training. It is taking some time to get used to the schedule. Our work weeks are from Sunday to Saturday and I get every other weekend off and Tuesdays. Which means I get either Sunday or Saturday and Tuesday off every week. But the Sundays and Saturdays I have off take place in the same weekend. So while that is awesome, so cool to have weekends off at all in retail, it also means every other week I work six days straight without a day off, and then back in for three days before the weekend off. Hard to explain. Basically I work six days, off one day, work three days, off two, work one day, off one day and then start over.

Spiritual: Things still going well. I am only doing High Day rites throughout the remainder of this year in preparation of doing a full Wheel of the Year: American Style in 2012. I have decided to stop promoting and attending the chats, at least on a regular basis. With Tuesday being my day off it is just too difficult for me to plan to be home and not occupied every Tues at 8:00 pm. Plus, I am not getting nearly as much out of the chats as I did before. I am still committed to find ways for solitary ADFers to connect with one another and with the larger ADF community but I am not sure what that looks like yet. Feedback is welcome but I will pretty much reject message boards outright. We have tried that a half dozen times in ADF and it has never really worked out.

That's all for now!
