The holidays are done with - yay! Let's start 2016 and see what happens. (May it be better than 2015 - that's really all I ask.)
Today should have been my first day back, but I took advantage of a floating holiday option and exercised it, so tomorrow will be my first day of work for 2016. *sighs. I wonder what will be waiting for me - sarcasm, anger, annoyance, ignorance and who knows what else. Still, it's a job, I can do the work and I really need to focus on just getting through each moment as it comes.
The talk of 'New Years Resolutions' slid right by me . . . right now, I'm still working pretty much on a day-by-day basis. Yes, there are a lot of things I could say I want to change about myself or my circumstances - I won't deny that - but I can only handle one thing at a time. Even little changes, like NOT visiting food places that have drive-thrus, are a huge struggle for me. I'm considering it a big accomplishment that my nieces received their Christmas gifts before Christmas.
There's a couple of big goals for the year - my trip to Seattle in a few months is first and then, late in the year, yet another move, though my goal is that this will be to a place wholly, completely, entirely MINE - no housemates, no roommates, no sharing. Just me. I'm okay where I am - I have enough trust and feel safe where I currently am, but there's not another person around here that I would have that same level of trust and safety with, so, when the lease is up (if not sooner), my next move will be a place of my own.
I think that's enough for now. Let's see what the year brings.
