Jesus. I really didn't think I'd tap in my site addy and see that the last time I was in here was October. Wow. I guess an apology is in order...so ahh, sorry?
LOTS of stuff has been going on over the last few months. I started a new job which was fantastic, IS fantastic and I hope continues to be fantastic and have literally been working my ass off. Well, not literally. If I was literally working my ass off it would be smaller and it is not!!!
My birthday came...and went. Nothing exciting to report there except I turned 35. The. Fuck?!.
Moving right along we come to Christmas. *sigh* I wish I could say I love this time of the year but really, when financially everything sucks severe balls I absolutely loathe every...single...thing. So yeah it sucked. Not only did I put myself in severe debt (yes I know I'm not the only one), but it has drained me physically and emotionally because I was stressing out to the max about it. OMG what will I do when my kids wake up and we only have a few things under the tree?! Despite all the shit about it's not the number of gifts you get, but the time spent with your family and all that. Umm explain that to 3 kids under 9! They don't give a shit about the quality of time with their family, they just want stuff. Sure it's all in how you raise then but how do you raise them to want not? You don't. EVERYONE around them is talking about all the awesome things they are asking "Santa" for, showing off the things they got early because they went and visited at grandma's house or the television is making them ape shit because of all the crazy commercials for the things you just can't go without.
Needless to say, we pulled some magician shit and managed to give them a decent Christmas, definitely downsized from last year...and the year before that and yet I am worse off this year than any other year.
Enough of Christmas. New Years came as well. 2014 to be exact. What came out of 2013 and into 2014 that I give 2 shits about? Nothing at all really.
Well wait, I lie...let me break down a few things that I remember or think are worth mentioning.
- Steve finally proposed to Kema...or vice versa. Either way I'm not sure but it's about fucking time!!!!
- The douchebag from my previous job got canned after I left because of her pathetic attempt at running a bunch of stores.
- Got new job and before the end of 2013 managed to get a good set of staff and working on 1 more lol
- My hair got longer
- My sister found of she was with spawn...err child. We are waiting impatiently in 2014 for her to show up.
- Moose lost a tooth. Well she didn't really lose it she just grabbed ahold of it and yanked it out because she felt like it. She is so hardcore! The first one came out all by itself.
And the more I struggle to think of all these additional things the more depressed I get because the bad shit that happened in 2013 FAR outweighs the good.
So what am I going to do in 2014? Say fuck it. To everything bad and negative and just move on with it. These aren't resolutions by any means because I shouldn't have to set a goal and accomplish that, it should just be natural improvements. So here they are.
Pretend the assholes don't exist and laugh happily in the front row knowingly.
Find time for me. This includes getting healthier and happier with myself. Lose some weight is a must. Baseball starts again in just over 4 months and I am not playing at the weight I was last year, just hell no.
Appreciate what matters most more and let everything else just roll off the shoulders.
Find positive influences in my life with friends and work.
Get involved more in my network of people for a variety of reasons.
BUDGET...and learn from it. Might alleviate some of the pressure.
Socialize and trust more. Not everyone gets off on breaking that.
Forget the past, live in the present and look forward to the future! Wow...those are some powerful words aren't they. Maybe that should just be the one and only right there.
