Back Online

I have been astray. I have been online, just haven't been here. So much has happened in the past few weeks. It has been an interesting ride. Back in January of this year, I was laid off from a job I held for about seven years. I have been looking for a suitable replacement ever since I heard the news. I worked a job a couple of weeks ago that I thought was the one, the job that my life had led up to...at least a bridge to the next job. I was working as a patient services coordinator at a fibromyalgia clinic. I had a great time, felt like I learned quite a bit, but unfortunately it was a temporary job and they decided not to keep me.

So, I have been filling my schedule with things other than work again. I am doing some volunteer work, getting some bass practicing in, keeping things a little extra organized at home, and what not, while I look for the ideal position for me.

Financially, I am not doing too bad. I still have a slightly more in the bank than I owe, which is a wonderful feeling especially considering I owed about twelve thousand a couple of years ago and had no money!

I have been messing around a bit looking for that soul mate, and not getting very far. Looking for a job and my soul mate at the same time...fun. I guess I should be looking for a new place to stay too! Yea, that isn't stressful at all now is it?

35 Years

My parents just celebrated 35 years of marriage.

I think it would be great to find someone to spend my life with.

Just having some fun

Lately, I have been busy just having some fun.

Been partying a bit too much lately I suppose...but it sure is fun.

Tonight is the first Thursday evening I have had off in a long while. I am going to take advantage of it and go see Domingo at Los Rancheros Mexican Food Restaurant.

Domingo is an Elvis impersonator....Well he has the voice anyways!

Then...maybe I will apply for a job or two.

Spending time

I am plan on getting more focused and planned on how I am spending my time.
Time is like a dime, you can only spent it once.
(sorry had to make it rhyme ;-) ) (What's a cracker without cheese?!)

I am getting around pretty well now. I also have a little extra time on my hands this week because I didn't get scheduled for many hours at the part time job. This makes little difference to me financially except for the fact that the unemployment account drains a little faster that way (because whatever I make at the part time job is deducted from the unemployment). So for this week, it was welcomed time off.

I decided to go and pop by the Friends ministry and see what I could do to help. It turns out my bagging experience came in handy. I just bagged up some items for clients at their general store. I got to have lunch with some friends and spent the day with some friends up there. It was a great thing to do today since I didn't have much else going on.

I also went for a little shopping excursion afterward. I wasted a little bit of time shopping around though cause I didn't really have any specific thing I needed at some of the places I went to. I was just browsing around. I did get a few items that I had an immediate need for. I did unfortunately buy some things that I didn't have an immediate need for...which is a bad habit I am trying to work on. They were very inexpensive items though, so it wasn't a big deal.

I am going to work at making myself get a more organized with my time.

Spend it more wisely.
