the quicker it opens the sooner it closes
i don’t know if anybody still reads this thing or not .. *shrugs*
the trip i mentioned in the last entry was back home to help my mom turn 65 ~ saw my relatives, finally met my nephew and even got together with most of me ol peeps .. stayed over at me brudda’s new place for a few days too ~ my housewarming gift being a ten-pound sledgehammer, which we used in building a fence. i had a really good visit ~ i could write an entire entry about that alone. i needed that ..
it’s been thirteen weeks since i had the surgery on my finger, eleven since the wire came out, and things are going well ~ i have seen the doctor twice and he keeps telling me i am doing great, considering the original state of my finger, and that i am farther along in my recovery compared to most. encouraging, but i still don’t have the full range of motion back .. maybe i am just impatient .. ?
meanwhile bomber season has come and gone .. at least i got one game in. *shrugs*
the really Big Thing worth writing about, though .. *deep breath*
the same week that i broke my finger i was offered another job at another company. in those two weeks whilst the wire was in and i was off work i gave it a lot of thought, and by the time i went home i had decided ~ although i talked about it to everybody anyways. when i got back i sat down with my boss and, after almost eight years, i resigned ~ that was tougher than i thought it would be. my last day was july 25th ~ n. and j. came back at 11 to take me out to a pub and get me well drunk.
i had another week off in between before starting the new job this week, and it’s been interesting so far .. new hours n new routines, even a new walking route .. an updated translation ..
along the way a lot of things were pushed in all that .. a lot of things were suddenly in play that had not been for a long time, years in some cases .. not that i forgot them, as such ..
i was once a starry-eyed víking gentleman pirate adventurer, full of wonder and Trust in the Universe .. that’s how i got this far at least .. i guess i got to feelin a bit washed up lately, like my best days are behind me, or that i lost my way somehow .. like that amazing grace sort of passed me by. a bit estranged from my family n friends back home and out here too, just driftin n dreamin .. what the heck happened to me?
i can show you some of the scars and the dents where i got a bit banged up, or got the wind knocked out of me .. and how they got me to thinkin that failure seemed inevitable no matter how much try was involved .. maybe lost some of my heart .. ?
for all that, i still have that curiosity and recklessness to step through the door when it opens .. indeed, the best stuff has come through when i did say yes, when i followed the lead without doubt, full of trust and faith ..
by changing one thing i changed everything ..
