And I was doing so good!!!

I truly am trying to post more frequent posts here. I had two in September and my plan was to do at least two in October as well. Now here we are, the middle of November, and its my first post since then!!

Much has happened since I last wrote and its all been pretty stinkin wonderful! First and foremost, I'm all moved into my new place. It is absolutely wonderful and felt like home immediately. I no longer have anxiety about going home, wondering what I'll find. I don't think I could have even realized how much I missed living alone. The apartment is beautiful and I feel, such an upgrade. It has great character and good flow. Everyone that has seen it and has seen my old place says the same thing. In addition to loving my new house, I am so relieved to be done with the drama that persisted in the old one. I've never been one for drama and I should have known that moving to LA was going to fill my life with the unwanted junk. Well, no more. People who cause drama in my life, will not last long in it.

The next exciting thing is that I have enrolled in school. I'm going to start slowly, with just one night class at a community college near my house. I want to try it out and see how it feels. I still haven't found a focus on what I would want to go to school for, but I'm hoping by taking some classes, that may become clear. I'm actually really excited about this new venture and I hope that it brings some clarity.

Now that I'm all moved in and have that stress behind me, I've been focusing on work as well. Where I am now is full of that thing I mentioned earlier and cannot stand...drama. It is literally something new everyday. I've never worked a job where I was treated as such a child and so unwanted before, even when I was a teenager and deserved that!! I had more respect given to me at my job when I was 16 than I do at 30. There is something seriously wrong with that. Also, they treat some others that I work with even worse than me. I cannot sit idle watching this behavior from management and corporate. The world is unjust, but bearing witness to it on a daily basis is just more than I can handle personally. So, I have been starting my search once again for something new. I really hope that turning down the position last spring that I was offered will stop haunting me and someone else will take interest in my abilities. There is so much I have to offer, I just need to find the proper avenue.

Next week is already Thanksgiving. Brian and I are going to Iowa to spend it with his family. I am really looking forward to meeting his parents and his mom's side of the family. Plus, I think it will be relaxing to be back in the Midwest where things do seem like they were a lot more simple. Time spent with Brian is generally very relaxing so just being with him for the weekend will be great. We actually went to see one of his favorite musicians, Keller Williams, last weekend. It was such an amazing time. I had surprised him with the tickets at our 6 month anniversary this past summer, so we couldn't wait for the actual day to arrive. It was certainly worth the wait.

I think of all of you back home so often, I only wish it was easier to communicate just how much.

Until next time.
