I haven't blogged in awhile.....I haven't done a lot of things that I used to enjoy in awhile. I don't know why, they used to bring my joy. Has my life changed that much??
I work at a Health & Human services center. The patient's I work with are there for mental health issues or drug and alcohol issues. I love my job. The downside?? I'm only a temp, and part-time. I've been looking and applying for jobs since I started here in March, but have only had a handful of interviews. It's quite depressing. I make less at this job than I did when I was on unemployment. This makes me stressed. It's a struggle each week to pay the bills, put food on the table, gas in the truck, and still have something left to get out and do something....the latter is usually what suffers.
I have one of my oldest friends living pretty close, but don't see her as much as I'd like to....my other friends live across the state, and I miss them like crazy. I have movies I want to see, series I want to see, and just can't seem to find the time. I haven't read a book in months....that depresses me the most. I found such joy in books. That has to be my New Year's resolution.....I have to make plans to get together with my Minnesota friend.....we've been friends too long to let that go.
I'm not happy with my body either....it's falling apart on me. Hip problem, bad knee, asthma/allergies/sinuses......diabetes. I've made a solid effort this past month to get working on them.....that was one of the hard things about moving up here, leaving all of my doctors behind. I have been trying to get together with providers that I like and who are convenient.
I'm happy with my new life here, but some things are more difficult than I thought that they would be. I'm extremely blessed to have Dan, even when he's being difficult....blessed to have Bobber and Weeb's in my life, and the new friends that I've made here. Sometimes you still miss the old though......
