My last two days of work were pretty much just sitting around. That Monday, we had a pitch-in (or a potluck in most parts of the country!) and Tuesday we cleaned up the last of our stuff. Ok, I found an internet game a played that. It was kind of bittersweet, I guess. Wednesday, I was kind of depressed about the whole situation, and Thursday I pulled out of it. Then I just took some time for me. I haven’t felt like writing, even though I wanted to share about my new laptop, vacation and all that, I just hadn’t been motivated to write about it all. I think part of it is that I have been thinking of a lot of different things in my life right now, things I don’t necessarily want to share with the world.
At the end of the month, I will be turning 35. For the first time, I find my birthday kind of depressing. Thirty-five isn’t really that old, but there is so much I want to see and do, and I feel like time is just ticking away from me. A week afterwards, I will be going to Relay For Life again. I feel kind of bad that I haven’t promoted this event as much as I have in the past. In recent years, I have asked you all for donations. I don’t really have many friends in the area I live in, and I never feel right asking a neighbor. As for co-workers, well, I don’t have them at the moment. My old job wouldn’t let me ask anyway.
I have finally, after a year, come up with what I think will be my domain name. I am just not sure. I really would like something that is personal to me. I thought of naming myself after one of my online persona’s because I realized how much my online names have become a part of me. Heck, if I get a domain, I may even switch to one of those names. No sense getting in trouble because some potential employer sees this and doesn’t like what they read.
But for all this rambling, there really isn’t much going on with me right now.
I’m glad you are safe and hopefully well. I think motivation is a little lacking all around at present. I hope the vacation was enjoyable, the scenery is certainly spectactular!
Sending good wishes to you and Dan.
I think it’s important right now to figure out what you want. 35? Tack another 20 years on that, and then we”ll talk…. You are still young and hopefully have a fight or two left in you- Good Luck!
You’re having a hard time turning 35??? Well, just wait ’til you turn 40.
In 5 short years.
.. actually, 40 wasn’t bad. I don’t think 50 will be bad. I’m going to have a hard time with 60. I’m doing my best to make these next 20 years stretch…
I’m glad to see that you haven’t fallen off of the earth. There is nothing wrong with taking personal time. In fact, it should be encouraged, as long you pop in to say hello now and then.
That picture is glorious! Where’d you go?
