It Intel, we mark the time by quarters. Q1 recently left, and we are entering Q2. I can't say I am sad to see Q1 leave, or was even sad to see 2008 leave. Arizona has certainly not been the kindest of all the places I've lived. Out of West Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona, this place has been the most difficult. Soon after I first moved here, the pain in my back started getting worse. I went to over a dozen doctors who all told me they could fix my problems, all while it kept getting worse. There were often weekends when I wanted to do something with friends, but couldn’t even stand up, change clothes, or get in a car to go. Has anyone else seen “Vanilla Sky”? I feel like the main character, who eventually re-emerged into a better life from the pain after his accident. Onto 2009.
After physical therapy started to help, I started expressing doubts about my wedding that was due for this year. Those doubts were usually blown off. But as the days went on, the doubts continued to get worse and worse. It is strange to think that I was almost married. I’ve known people whose weddings were cancelled, although they were the ‘victims’. It is hard on both the victims and those providing the victimizing. I know a few people were very angry with me after it, but there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t get a little sad when I see something that reminds me of a wedding.
2009 so far has been better than 2008.
