2012 so far

I've been writing more in an actual journal rather than on here. I feel as if I haven't had time to really blog, though I want to. Maybe I should make time. Right?...Right!

It's been a busy start to the year. I participated in an employment workshop to help me revamp my job searching skills, resume, and other goodies of life. I have an interview on Monday to be a Youth Leader for underprivileged kids. It's part time and I believe for only 6 months. That's okay with me. I can use the time to go back to school and better myself. There has been a lot going on in my neighborhood as well. I have been packing and sorting my belongings which has been a chore from hell. I have way too much stuff. Why am I packing you ask? Next week I will get newly vamped kitchen and bathrooms. Pretty cool huh? I heard the bathrooms will have HUGE mirrors and the kitchen looks much better. I'm a little excited to see the finished product. During this time I will have to stay at the Ramada Inn. Paid by the Apartment Management of course. The last few months i have been also been helping my ex Ryan prepare for a move. I have been going to San Francisco every few weeks. I think the weekend of the 16th may be my last in San Francisco. Though we are no longer a couple (yet still friends) it has been a painful journey. I may not live there but I feel a bit sad that he is moving away. I really enjoyed having a place to stay while in San Francisco and being around Ryan and his family (mother & sister). I will truly miss that house and cherish the memories I have from my visits.

I have updated my bucket list and made a short to midterm goal list. I have 4 things I really want to accomplish within the next 5 years and I have listed them in in order of how much time it will take me to accomplish them. I am turning 35 this year and all that I had hoped for and where I thought I would be by my birthday this year fell apart when Ryan left. So I have to start over and I will have to achieve these goals alone instead of with a partner. Not having someone to cheer me on and be a part of it all will make the goals much harder to accomplish and a little lonely.  One of my goals may not be able to happen at all. I don't know yet and will take the necessary steps to find out how far I can go on my own. The second to last part of this specific goal needs a second person or it won't work at all. We'll just have to wait and see.

I am participating in Lent again this year though I have not posted like I did last year. I have been doing Facebook photo posts this time around. Maybe I will bring that to the blog as well. I will leave this blog as is. I wish you good night and sweet dreams.
