ups and downs
so there's been a turn for the better in the occupational world i live in! last night dr. matt hired another CA (my job) so that i will not have to work 60 hour weeks anymore. to which i state, huzzah! unfortunately, she still has to give her 2 weeks notice at her other job, so i have another 2 and a half weeks before i learn what free time is. the news has made me giddy...i'll be able to see friends i haven't seen in months, i can get a social life again, and check this, i'll even be able to take dance classes!! WOOOOOOOT! the idea of actually pursuing that which i'm passionate about is a little overwhelming at the moment.
in other news, i'm getting wicked excited about faire. well...i'm always excited about faire, but i'm getting more and more excited about it actually starting with the patrons and what not. although i'm wicked nervous about interacting with people, i know there's no better way to learn than to just do it. plus i'm surrounded by amazingly talented people, so if i can just feed off of their energy i'll be able to throw myself into it. however...first i must learn oak and ash and thorn....
another up...i'm finally all moved in! although there are still boxes strewn about my living space, i no longer have to lug anything across 6 lanes of traffic and 2 T tracks. it's a good feeling. i know eventually i'll be completely unpacked...but until i have a free weekend it is merely wishful thinking. the cats are getting along relatively well. they still hiss and growl, but luckily there has been no massive amounts of blood shed. cosmo and ares are gaining more and more scabs as the days go on...but...well what can you expect from two alpha cats. my fish, gordon, is loving his new fish bowl! now he can see everything that's going on, and be far away from roaming kitty paws. i must say...i love coming home to an apartment filled with lots going on. even if the roomies and i don't get to talk much, knowing that there are other people there coupled with the thundering sound of cats rumbling is comforting beyond belief...esp now.
i always find that no matter what is going on in my life, i need to focus on the positive...if i don't, then it's too easy for me to just curl up and shut the world out. although right now my heart hurts beyond anything, i have to keep looking towards the good...i have to. nothing in life is ever simple, nor is it ever laid out in a manner that is easy to follow...i just hope i make the right decisions along the way...
