reality...ain't she a beee-och!

what the heck? it's already thanksgiving? what happened to halloween? I think I worked the haunted house but...did I attend any parties? I've been in whatever land for the past uhhh, MONTH! but really, seriously, this cloud over my friend's death, feeling like i'm getting strep (which i figure stems from the craziness at work) and frustration of trying to find parking on my block for my second vehicle...everyday, i drive around and around, these things really got to me.

after being asleep and floating on a cloud this month, i was quickly brought back to earth when i opened my mail and received in the same week: my new license plates, my new car payment statement and my registration notice for my old vehicle. shit...reality smacked my freckled face not once but three times. that bitch...
I've gotta take care of things. that wench

sooo, since then, I finally applied for 2 jobs...I don't know what was in that ink or if the spirit of the 500 or so trees that were killed to make my resume paper did it, but something moved the universe...this tiny act moved the flippin universe. why? how? Just yesterday my director says...I noticed your interaction with your boss and it's not healthy. I'm moving you over to be under me starting tomorrow and you will continue under me after your promotion (angel harps, choir sings, sun shines through the clouds, you get the idea). I then thought, I need to take car of this car situation. At least find some relief with this parking situation. I posted an ad online, took pics of the old car and put a for sale sign in the car window. wouldn't you know it, found a spot right in front of my building good for a flippin week. now nothing can bring my friend back but, i did get a pedicure and honored my friend with her favorite blue nail polish. i thought of her and life in general and felt that even with it's ups and downs, life is pretty damn good. I have my health (funny how those symptoms went away after hearing i would be shifting), my family and friends, a roof over my head and plenty of snacks in the cupboards (i need to go grocery shopping okay?!), the weather was warm and the sun was shining...shoot, even the birds were singing. I was happy. I am happy. I feel like i've brushed away the cobwebs and i want to jump up and down, scream from the rooftops, dance in the streets and do cartwheels in the house. reality slapped me in the face yet again...I'm not 30 anymore, I haven't worked out in I think a month, so in order to prevent injury, i must go to the gym to build stamina and flexibility to do all these things. stay tuned!
*add the hernandez fight song here...dunh, dunh dunh dunh, dunh dunh dunh, dunh dunh duuuuuuuuuuuhn....rising up, back on the street, did my time, took my chances...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
