And it's the weekend...
I had successfully survived the week and Valentine's day... I have a a few issue's with this holiday and not just because I'm single and alone, it's been associated with sad times in my life since I was fifteen and the one person who knew why and always tried to make sure I had a little something to make me smile passed away a week before Valentine's day 2001 and after that I basically just thanked my now ex for the card and candy and tried to just ignore it. So now it's behind me and in a few days when I go shopping I can indulge in the 75% off left over chocolates.
I do have a friend's birthday party to go to tonight, it should be interesting as a guy that seems all sorts of hung up on me will be there and I've already told him that I have no intentions of getting involved as I'm planning on moving out of state and yet he keeps pushing for a relationship. I'm trying to be nice about letting him know I have no interest in him and I've already had a friend that dated him briefly warn me off saying he's a nice guy but has issues that would basically lead right back to one of the problems I had with my ex, I don't want to hurt the guy since even though I'm not interested he seems nice just not my type and the timing and his personality are all wrong for me he isn't backing off. I got over a dozen texts form him this week and a "see you at the party" voice mail... I can't skip the party as the birthday boy and his girlfriend are people I genuinely like and he's a client of mine too. This should be interesting...
I got a little more written on my Fan Fics that are in progress and I started an original work, it's odd I haven't done much originally stuff in the past few years but it comes back easily and the hardest thing was figuring out names for the characters. Now if only I could get my artistic muse back so I have some use for all the paints, paper, brushes and stuff I have from my art school days. I haven't so much as dragged out my sketchbook in over a year and I don't doodle anymore...
I started a list of questions for the admissions and guidance people at Dutchess Community College and I'm just waiting for the work calendar and weather to clear up so I can make an appointment to talk to someone and drive up to get things started. I also found that the skills test the school gives is something that the local educational trust has a free program to get you ready to take it, they said since there isn't a community college in this county they offer it to make it easier to get people back into schools in surrounding counties so I think I'm going to take it so I can do as well as possible and it looks like I can also get some life experience credit and I may even be able to use a yoga certification class as the exercise/phys ed self study credit they want me to take... I have to find out the details but if I can that would work out well for me.
Little by little things are coming together, I'd rather they move faster but there is only so much I can get done when it seems to snow every day. So now I'm going back to my writing and a cup of coffee... and I need to check to see if my yogurt is done... fresh organic yogurt one of the easiest things in the world to make... yum...
