A moment to reflect..
Mar. 23rd, 2005 10:39 pmThings are pretty good all in all.
I only have three sources of stress in my life right now and really... for the most part they aren't so bad.
One is work. Works stress isn't stress I mind. There are things due and things to be done and I'm always busy and I always have something to do. I don't mind it. Some of is mind numbing and dull but to be honest with you, it's a much higher level of mind number and dull than my old job that I don't mind it either.
Two is money. I'm always stressed about money. I'm not that great of a budgeter but I'm starting to get used to this whole getting paid once a month thing. I'm making it to the end of the month with money left over now and that is a great thing. And I'm ever doing this while preparing for what my new rent will be. I'm putting a large chunk of my paycheck into savings each month to cover moving expenses and so, if I can make it like this, I'll be able to make it when I move. That's the theory anyway. Especially if I can find a place in my price range that includes utilities.
Three is my over all health. I know what I need to do here. The problem is getting into a routine that I don't just... ditch. I've found a few things that work but nothing that I'll be able to keep up as a life-long thing. I know this is to be true. I need to lose weight. I need to lose quite a bit, to be honest. I'm still looking for something that I can do and continue to do for the rest of my life, to remain healthy. I've got some plans for when I get my own place that should help and I know that I cook more when I'm on my own as well. Ultimately that should help with Stress Two and Three. Bringing lunch to work will always be cheaper, except for possible the startup costs.
There are good things. Some very good things. I have some great friends. I know I don't appreciate you guys enough. I know I don't and I'm sorry. Thanks for everything.
I am very thankful for the Mike's in my life. All of them have been a positive influence. I seem to have a good track record with them and... well..
Sometimes distances between are really annoying and prohibitive in making decisions.
Right now I feel that my life is in a holding pattern for so many reason. I certainly won't list them all but I really, really want some things ot move forward. I want to try to do new things. I am very much someone who will try to establish new patterns all at once. Maybe not the best idea but I figure a new place to live is a good dividing line for me trying to start things.
I'm actually kind of looking forward to what feels like a new page. I normally dread those. I'm not normally good at moving on or letting go or... whatever. It's an interesting place to be.
