Happy New Year live Journal
Facebook has definitely taken over.
But keeping a journal is important, and I always come back, so I'm glad you're here.
2012 was a crazy year.
2013... A year of new beginnings
I was offered and accepted a new job. I've been unemployed for an uncomfortable amount of time. What I realized is I really enjoy the social aspect of work. After all I went to school to be a college administrator because I like the social aspect of college so much... Go figure.
Many disappointments in 2012.
Yup, I had silent contracts...
I had a silent contract with my car that it wouldn't get a sludge build up and cost me thousands of dollars while I didn't have a job. Ouch! Along others.
I had a silent contract with life... That it wouldn't throw a bunch of tough things at me back to back.
There's more..
...and I've lived and am living through it.

So there.
Back to love... Practicing it, being it and finding it in everything.

Mike & Jessica came to NY this week, met them in NYC for dinner tonight :)

Scott & Nichol ehad a party for Scott's Bday. I asked Jose to drive me to the airport for my 630am flight which meant being there at 430am, and I also wanted to go to this party, so he also agreed to go to the party... which we got to REALLY late - bad time management (not on my part)I hung out w/Brian. Jose napped at Nichole & Scotts then off to the airport we went. I think we get along cuz we think nothing of doing things that other people think is nuts. You know like me not sleeping for 2 days befoe flying to Hawaii! :)

Went to Virgina, visited Lee & Rachael - Finally met Caden!

Drove to Maryland to go sailing, but a big crazy hurricane came.. it was kinda exciting. Especially fun to be with Mike and Annette for that..

I did 150 squats today - at once... woo hoo!

So Ive gone back and forth this week on my decision to take this job. I'm going to say that is probably pretty typical. I miss my nysc family... and I am happy to be reunited with my SUNY OW family. It would be just perfect if I could have both. When you say yes to something you are always saying no to something else...

My "no" is to spending time and seeing all the people I've worked with over the past 3 years... amazing friendships. I miss the action of the gym and the energy.

*sigh* in a few months I will be talking about how sad I am to leave this place...

I think all my summers at camp kinda hardened me. Saying goodbye at the end of every summer.. it was so sad and then we came back again. I somehow got used to it. Now I am finding as I get older, I want a bit more comfort and stability. Yes, I can say goodbye and I can move.. but I really want to find a job/home and stick with it for a while - Ive never given myself the chance to get comfortable. With this new job, I have continued my tradition of moviong EVERY 2-3 years of my life. Every! since I was a baby!

I guess if i stay still for a while it'll be fine as long as I can travel.

Today is my last official day as pool manager

No one has really acknowledged that I'm leaving, I mean my bosses haven't asked me to -like- do anything.. so I took it upon myself to do the October schedule and leave some important info. I kinda feel as though I care more then they do. I guess that's okay.

Tomorrow I pack and move and start my new job on Monday.
It was definitely very sudden, I could have used another week.

Meleak's mom passed away the night before I went to Cali and that has been so sad. He is extremely independent and yet, I still want to be there for him. I can not even imagine what he is going through. I have lived my whole life - just me and my mom. I'm pretty much in denial about people in my family dying, after all, my gram is 90 and still hanging tough!

Eat garlic folks.. whole raw cloves - i swear that's her secret!
