Me time
Funny isn't it? I have this journal and quite a few others and yet I never really post in any of them. Quizzes do not really count now do they. I've come to the realization that I use this more as a tool to keep abreast of what others are doing and how their lives are going ,more so than to lament or give voice to any of my own goings on. I should change the name of my journal to innocuous quizzes and hey I'm bored what is so and so been doing. I guess part of the reason I don't post much , is I don't really have much going on in my life, not that I am now lamenting in my journal, more like an observation of fact. I see others who do post and they have pics up chronilizing the last weekends adventures and trips and post of who is pissing them off and what exciting new thing happened to them. I on the other hand have no one that is pissing me off in anything more than ordinary everyday dealing with people type drama and nothing overly exciting has happened. Well, I guess that's not entirely true, just nothing overly dramatic. Let's see, ok a few things new and some sad things recently. I say recently in only the most loosely based terms considering the time frame from the last actual post.
For the more inane things I am still working part time at Home Depot, though seriously considering going full time for a bit. I had my 1 yr anniversary of working there on the 9th of this month. Still in Plant City unfortunately. I still have the business open and work from that is steady if not enough.Still with chris and things in that category are still going well. On a side note I can't believe we have been together now over 3 1/2 yrs. I can count that a something of a record :). It;s not much but in this day and age of failed or unhappy relationships , I consider it something to applaud and be thankful for.
Now for the not so routine, one of my best and dearest friends and someone just about eveyone on my list knows moved a few months ago. I miss my Erin very much. It is still weird for me not to be able to call and hangout with her when ever I can. I have no one to drag my happy butt out to the clubs more oft then not or to talk about things that are troubling me or that I just want to get an opinion on anymore. Not that I don't still have some wonderful friends still, but it's not quite the same. I love My Kisha and Nikki and all and as far as female friends go they are definitely very close to my heart, but they don't know me the way Erin did. She was one of my oldest female friends and has been around for alot of things in my life. She was there when I moved to Tampa and one of the few people with which I still felt the need to associate with from my old life. That says more then most people know. When I moved here it was with the intent to start fresh in a place with few people that knew me and the ability to pick and choose who I wanted to be around. It was not the same where I was from , I couldn't just steer clear of unwanted people due to the very small group of people I had to associate with. You'd have had to live there to understand why that was. she and a few others were all the people I tried to keep in my life due to what they meant to me and how positive they have been in my life. now I only have 1 maybe 2 people that are still here. Beyond that she was very much like me and could understand my somewhat warped way of thinking almost instinctively. It seems to be the story of my life :> everytime I get really close to someone they move. It's part of the reason I don't get to close to people nowadays. I still talk to her every once in a while on the phone but not like before and not nearly as often as I like. On a good note my friend Nikki came back from mississippi recently and I have been seeing and hanging out more with Kisha then I recently was. Both are very good things. I can't say how happy I am that Nicolette moved when she did , I fear she would have been washed away in the recent hurricane if not. As far as I can tell t went right through were she was living. The powers that be were definitely watching out for her. I finally qualify for my vacation time and I am going home in May. I can't wait to see my brother and cousins again. I am going to try my hardest to make it to Erin's while am there and to my surrogate sister Irya's as well. I am also planning on taking a side trip to NY and staying with my cousin in her new apartment for a night or so and possibly going to see some of the places I used to go to up there. Especially time square at night. It is something everyone should experience at least once. I am hoping to bring Chris and Veralyn with as well. Oh! that would be another good thing so far. Veralyn has finally finished with all of her Chemo and treatments and has fully kicked her disease. She recent;y got her port out and now can go play like evey other 7 yr old. She was very excited about that. I was happy we were able to get it done before school started. We still have to take her to her doctors for exams and scans every couple of month as a precautionary measure but I am hopeful she will not succumb to the disease again. All in all everything is going well and as of right now this is all i can think of :) lol not that this post is by any means short! I'm sure I forgot some things but I will try and post more.....eventually. For now I am done rambling on and I hope everyone is doing well and in good health.
