Here is an update on the basic happenings of my life currently. First I will discuss what is happening with my job. The company that I work for now is terminating my department and all of the positions within that department so I will one of the people to lose my job soon. I am contracted to work through May 1st. I am presently looking for other employment but it is a difficult task as you all may well already know, with the high number of people unemployed at this time. It has been extremely frustrating and I have not had any great prospects. I will have to continue of course until I find something. Living on unemployment is not something that I want to consider. I hope that I find something soon.
Next....my cat, Cosmo. She is doing fine. I think that she has grown probably to be about as big as she will ever get, so she is a small to average sized cat. However she is driving me crazy with her frequent heat cycles so next week I am planning to make her an appointment for a spay. I'm sure she's not going to enjoy this, but I know that it will make it better for her in the future. And hopefully eliminate her annoying heat cycles.
The Bass. I am still playing my bass. I do have to say that with all of the stress of dealing with the employment issues, I haven't had the normal drive and ambition when playing like I usually do. I know that it will get better (it should), so I'm not worried right now. I did pick up a few more songs. I still play all the other ones I learned. My friend who plays the guitar with me, hasn't really been too inspirational lately. I suppose that hasn't helped me to feel inspired either. I need to wait, get more relaxed and it will come back.
A new job? Well, I'm considering many things. One of which would be the apparent fact that I enjoy writing. Perhaps I should return to school and get a degree in writing. My thoughts on this are that I have an interest in becoming a copywriter, and from there I could also incorporate other forms of writing. And I should note here that I had started writing a book several years ago. I'm sure I'd be more motivated and have the skills necessary to finish the book if I went back to school for it.
Let's see. Relationships. Wow, this is one topic I usually tend to avoid like a bad weekend of having the flu....which I did just have last weekend. It was not fun. Anyway. I do have to write something and I am very glad to put into writing here on my page that it is good news. (for a change). Since I've moved here, which has been since winter of 2009, I have entered into relationships where I am involved with someone for a few months. There are always a few things that I recognize right off, that I think about and deal with. I am thinking of these issues and wondering if I can deal with it, or not. Will it break the relationship? And so far, yes it has. I am talking about serious relationship issues such as trust, or some other form of incompatibility so that I really don't want to stay with the person. I have felt as if I am somehow cursed. lol No really. And then there is a friend who has a crush on me and that's been very difficult to deal with. In addition to a male coworker also having a crush on me. Anyway, I have no interest in these men.
I have met someone. I was looking in other places, dating sites primarily. Well...what are you supposed to do? I wasn't having much luck. I would meet someone that I have a lot in common with, but they would live too far away, or live with roommates and be unavailable due to working too much...oh, it was just every little thing that could go wrong, did. The worst time ever. I even met a guy who professed to be single and then later told me that he was only separated. That was a nightmare (literally) for about 2 months during which he "chased" me, trying to get me to see what a great guy he was. Not !
Ok enough. I did meet someone and NOT on a dating site. I am so glad to be able to say that. A coworker of mine very kindly "fixed me up" with a friend of hers. I am now dating a man who I literally never would have met otherwise. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised at how extremely and amazing well....no, well is not enough an appropriate word here...how FANTASTIC things have been. I know things can be good in the beginning and then bad later, but we are talking and found out we have an extremely good amount of things in common. We just click. We do. So...wish me luck here and I am crossing my fingers and toes on this one. It would be so nice to finally have something "stick"....you know? Ready or not...or are we ever really ready?
So enough of my updates, all said and done. More to come later. Knowing me, you just never know how different things could be next time I write.
