genesis
i'm back! haha, i bet you never thought you'd see me again!!
so much for regular posts...i'll never promise that again. haha.
my last new years may have sucked, true. and i still dont wish to disclose why...not here, anyways. if it was just a matter involving me alone, i might share. but i dont want to be posting personal info about my loved ones because that is their business and i dont feel that i have the right to disclose that. besides, i've spoken of personal affairs before, and other people have judged those individuals based on my feelings at the time...and thats just not fair to anyone involved. i've made mistakes, and i'm sure i'll make plenty more...hopefully i'm wise enough not to make the same mistakes twice...but, we'll see about that.
anyways, i can happily state that the matter over that new years was pleasantly resolved shortly after that posting. and it wasnt a bad year.
i shed the evil Walmart skin, for one. not that it was by choice, oddly enough. i was pretty much forced out. i changed absolutely nothing about my schedule, but the companies changes left no room for me even after over 3 years of service. wasnt worth the argument, so i left.
still w/JCP...not bad, but not great. nothing really much to say about it one way or the other.
went on my first real camping trip last summer. real meaning...no bathroom for miles, sleeping in tents, camp fire, the whole nine yards. it was a blast. i even got over the no bathroom thing after a while. i actually cant wait to do it again!
i never did keep that exercising up like i wanted, but i sure as hell am doing it now. at least, i have been regularly every week day for the past few weeks, so i'd like to think i've got the hang of it now. nothing aggressive yet, very basic. but i've been trying to add to it. also, a friend from work brought my attention to a cardio kick-boxing class...8 sessions for $50 (we originally thought it was only $5 before reading the fine print, but i got so excited that i still wanna sign up). think i'm gonna try and sign up. if nothing else, i think i could learn a lot. starts real soon, so i hope i have the cash to spare.
oh...i almost forgot the koolest thing! ladies and gentleman....i had my last cigarette on january 20th :) how excellent is that?! i like to thank the dentist. i finally went to the dentist for the first time in ages...lets just say it wasnt good. doc had to do so much work on my choppers that i had four separate appointments in 2 weeks!! when i found that out, i figured i'd try to go cold turkey on the cigs b/c i probably wouldnt want to even look at one after each appointment. and so it was :)
also, i've been saying for the longest time that i wanted to start reading the bible because its been so long that i cant even remember if i've ever read the whole thing. i'd like to think i have, but i just dont know. and brian has been researching every religion he can find just because he wants to know all about them and their similarities and differences. i want to be able to talk to him about these things. they're so interesting. besides, i've been saying for years that i dont know what religion i would follow but that i did believe and wanted to find which one suits me. so, i'm not very deep in genesis b/c i wanna take it all in...but its a start.
going to visit mom and dad this May. brian is not going with me this time because he wants me to be able to have time w/just my mom and dad. he went w/me last year, and he'll probably go again next year. i miss them terribly. thats the only thing i dont really like about being back in CT. but vegas...i just cant live there. so exicted to go see them.
when i get back, i've decided to tackle another thing i've been avoiding. gonna get a physical done, see where i'm at. dont think i want to know, but i really should know. plus, thats one of the requirements for a part time job i'm interested in as a companion for the elderly. you have to have had a physical w/in the past 2 years, wanna make sure you're healthy going into these peoples homes. no medical training needed and you get to select the hours you are available. i hope they're still hiring when i'm all ready to roll. if not, i'm gonna find me something. this way i can just put that paycheck into savings.
the goal is to sign our lease for one more year in august, then we look for a house for next year. i hope we can do it. i really think we can.
i've also been trying to think about what the hell i want to do with my life. i just cant think of something i love that i can do well. i'm ok at a lot of things, but i dont know what i can actually do well. the only idea i can come up with that makes any sense to me now is something in the medical field. there are all kinds of schooling options for that, and i think i could be good at that. its never really anything i thought of fondly like writing or photography or csi or psychology...but its working with people and thats something i've always done well (at least i'd like to think so). and its definitely something thats always in demand. i think i might end up going down that road eventually, and i think it could even make me happy.
well, i'm certain i've rambled enough for the time being.
one more thing...to my lizzifer...i'm a rotten person who missed your bday :( i am so so so so sorry!! i love and miss you bunches. maybe i can use one of my vacas this year to find my way over for a visit? i'd like that if the budget permits...so very much.
