Hey there everyone. So yeah, been super long since my last post. I have been pretty busy. Seems like all I do is eat, sleep, and work lately. So this may be a long post. Then again, I have been drinking and I get to play video games when I'm done, so it may be a really short post. We'll just see how the mood strikes me.
To kick things off, I'm doing really well. I have been doing really well at my new job. I feel like I've been fitting in to the job really well, and everyone seems pretty happy with my performance so far. We'll see if I can keep that up. I have my permanent schedule for the next 6 months, and I got exactly the schedule I was after, so I'm very pleased with this.
I have been doing way better with Chey. She is starting to get things straightened out with some of the things she has been dealing with lately, and we have been doing a lot better as a couple. It took a bit of a fight for us to step back and realize that if both of us didn't make some right proper choices in the immediate future then things wouldn't work out for us. Happy to report that we have both been working on our relationship and how we treat each other, so super happy in that department as well.
I saw my friends last night for the first time in a few weeks, and that was really refreshing. I feel like I rarely get to relax any more, and you know, I have made a lot of progress in a lot of areas in my life lately, so it was super pleasing to be able to spend some time just fucking off and playing cards.
Financially things are better than ever. This new job is paying great, and with Chey's careful planning and saving, I now have more money on hand than I have had in the last few years. It's so nice to not have to worry where my next meal is coming from.
Physically I'm getting a bit better. I have started taking some walks with Chey to keep myself in a bit better shape. I hope to keep up this trend and to graduate to some harder workouts when it gets a bit colder. This is still an area that I have much progress to make in.
Mentally I'm flying. I feel like in the last few weeks, between all of the progress at work, the astrophysics course (that I'm taking for fun BTW :P), and everything else in my life, I feel like I should be at some kind of limit or saturation point. Instead, like a fat kid who always finds room for desert, as soon as my head feels full, I find that I have room for just one more thing, and then one more thing. You get the idea. I'm really starting to feel engaged, challenged, and most importantly, like myself for the first time in ages.
My emotions have been mostly in check lately. I feel like I'm doing pretty well, considering that work is extremely testing in the area. I have to sympathize with my customers in order to do my job at the top level, which I'm doing, and I have to keep them in check when my customers are yelling at me. I seem to have found some kind of balance at the moment. I just need to keep on eye on it and not let myself fall to far one way or the other.
On the whole, I feel like I'm fitting into my place into the universe really well. This job change has been the best decision (it was Chey's idea, but my choice) I have made in a really long time. I'm so much happier with my life and where I fit in. It's left me with the energy to do the things I actually care about in my life. I think I summed it up well with Cody when I was talking with him a while back. His father, for example, has limitless physical energy. He can work a hard, 18 hour day, and still want to go out and work after. I told Cody then that I'm the same way, just on the mental end of the spectrum and it feels good to live up to my own estimations. I feel focused and that feels really good.
Alright, time for the next beer, and the next activity, my continuation in Final Fantasy VI. Sorry it's been such a long time coming for an update. I've just been sailing along so well that I guess I don't feel the need to write so much when things are going well. Alright guys, we'll talk soon.
