(no subject)
Sometimes I want to post on here like I used to a few years back. Daily updates about your life. It seems my life was more exciting at age 22. Although my daily life now may not be as eventful, I can assure you that my overall life is much happier than it was at 22. Age 20-25 was full of stepping stones. Figuring out ones self can tend to be a very long journey. A continuous learning process. I know I'll never have it all figured out, but at least I know now I'm heading in the right direction.
Jeff and I just celebrated our 10 month anniversary. We've been living together for as long as we were dating prior to moving in (if that makes sense - 4 1/2mos). Things are wonderful. It's nice being around someone who makes you happy. We really enjoy each others company and have a good time. Unfortunately I'm not as social as I used to be. And sure, I miss seeing my friends on a regular basis. But it happened.. I met Jeff, and things moved quickly. It happens to everyone at some point, right? Everybody grows up. I can count my closest friends on one hand.. make that three fingers. And none of them live close to me. 2 of them don't even live in this state. That's what I miss most.
Those of you who I communicate with regularly know that I have been unemployed since February. Laid off because of the economy (like so many other friends/strangers/family members). It's been a rollercoaster these last 7 months. I went on disability in June to deal with my head/neck injuries from a car accident I was in last summer (2008). The procedures left me immobile for weeks at a time. To this day it's still painful to sit at a computer for more than a few minutes, take long bike rides, sweep the floor, cut hair... basically do anything that requires my head to move around freely. Sometimes I wonder if this is ever going to get better. It's a bit trying at times. The doctors tell me there is nothing left for them to do and I just have to deal with it. I've resumed all my normal activities and try to pull through it (see aforementioned activities) hoping it will get better in the long run. But I still have yet to feel any improvement since the last procedure. It's been really hard to be positive about all this. Luckily my mom and Jeff have been good support through it all. I just want to go back to the way my body was before July 23, 2008.
Seeing as I'm resuming all my normal activities I decided it was time to look for a job (being unemployed loses it's thunder after about the first week). Within a a few days of applying I got hired at Carlton Hair International. I'm pretty excited about it. This is my first salon job since getting my license last year. I'll be assisting for about 9 months before I can have my own chair. Which is great! I feel like there is still so much to learn and I'm super eager to learn it. I start next Tuesday (9/15).
This is what I've wanted to do for such a long time. I only hope my neck doesn't give me too many problems. I would hate to have this opportunity ruined because my body won't cooperate.
