Dear Goodness
I have fallen off the posting wagon again. Haven't I?
Tsk tsk to me.
Well. Things that have happened, in a super brief summary:
School was failed due to lack of attendance. This is a very expensive mistake that I have not resolved the cost for yet. *sigh*
I did complete (after an appeal) my Net+ class. Thus, I am seriously overqualified for my job.
January was... well, 2013 has been shit so far.
I was sexually assaulted in January by a taxi driver.
I then had to take time off work.
February was largely dealing with the fall out, plus all the unsupportive comments from my landie ("I hope you stop putting yourself in these situations" and other crap) as well as generally falling apart from it.
February was also the month my Maternal Grandmother died. The one I just met last year.
March was her funeral. And me moving in with my GF because I couldn't take the comments at my home anymore.
I tried to go back to work, and realized I couldn't do it.
April, more travel. More time off work. More blowing through savings. And also, trying to start my photo art as a business. Oh, and car problems.
May, finally went back to work successfully,
So that brings us to now.
So far, I am finally pulling my head out of.... er, getting past the PTSD that was triggered by the incident in January. I am able to see how bad I was reacting to everything.
I finally do not hate my job so much. It was tough for a while. I got in arguments with bosses and boss's bosses. It has been a no bueno year.
So, I blew thru my savings, overran my credit (not the limits, just the goal credit approval to usage), and have screwed my promotion opportunities at work.
On the other hand, I am solid with my GF, I have launched an Etsy and a CafePress store, and I have a real book idea (self help thing, but still).

I just need finances and mental health to continue the upswing for the rest of the year.
Other than that, things are quiet. I suppose.
Tsk tsk to me.
