The Path

Clean Slate

Today has been a long yet great day :) I've started a new chapter and I'm so excited for the future! I was offered a great job in a new town and moved there with my friend into a lovely apartment with a pool! I met with my boss today after the move to sign some paperwork and everything is set in stone and I'll be making pretty good money ;) Now for some wine and unpacking with one of my best friends!

I am so thankful that I could start anew and not worry about my ex stalking me anymore. He was much older than me, and yet acts so childish... he made sure I knew that he took the fish tank that I threw in the dumpster... good for you man, going through the dumpster after my scraps! What is really sad is that it had to come to this. Mean comments on my blog, leaving shit on my doors... how could he possibly have a girlfriend if he spends so much time attempting to bother me?  Its been at least 2 months since we last saw each other, and yet he still insists on trying to upset me.  You know what?  He doesn't have that power over me anymore.

We had hard times (really hard), but in the end I just wish him peace.  I loved him at one point obviously, and vice versa.  Hopefully now he can move on with his life and leave me in peace as well.  He was a good man when we were in love, and I just know with some time he can return to that and find happiness.  Here's to a fresh start to all involved, and a bright new future :)

Quake ~ Daily Log 5/29

I woke up to a pretty decent sized earthquake this morning... it had been so long since I had felt one that I totally forgot the proper thing to do! Luckily it didn't last all that long, but boy was it a strange feeling.  I tried going back to bed after that but my ear was really bothering me, so I didn't get all that much sleep in.  I had a meeting at 11, ballroom at 12, class at 2, lab at 3:30, then another meeting.  Luckily I have a break in between lab and my meeting, so I'm probably going to nap.  Tonight I have an article to write, a movie to watch for class, and hopefully will fit in a work out! Nothing too interesting today, just catching up on sleep and nursing myself back to health... Oh yeah and I'll definitely fit in an episode of Arrested Development!

Time Flies

It was a relatively good weekend, but it definitely had its ups & downs.  I spent Friday & Saturday working all day, but luckily got to come home at night and spend time with my friends.  Thursday night was especially fun because we spent all evening hanging out together, drinking beer, and ended up meeting some out-of-towners.  Sunday and Monday I went with my mother to wine country, which is always a treat.  However, my mother and I definitely don't see eye to eye sometimes so there were some rough patches that weren't all too great.  It kind of scares me that I might have to move back to that... so I'm trying to evaluate all of my options.

The worst part was that I ended up in the hospital early on Monday morning.  I woke up with a really bad earache at 2am, but figured with some advil it'd just go away.  I tried going back to sleep but by 6am I was in excruciating pain and ended up in the ER.  My eardrum was close to rupturing due to a middle ear infection, but luckily (& quite painfully) they caught it on time. I'm still recovering, but I was able to have some fun regardless.  That night I went to a friend's BBQ, and tonight I went to go see The Hangover III.

I started packing up my apartment which is kind of sad.  It is really starting to hit me that in less than 3 weeks I'm going to be out of here.  I still have no idea where I'm going, I have a few options to evaluate, but everything is going to be changing... and hopefully for the better!
