Juggling

Well, I’m in the thick of it now. I understand that some people have been worried about me. And I appreciate that, you have no idea. Don't be, though. I'm just busy, & my time on the 'net is limited. Working two jobs means there are times that I don’t see my friends here for two or three days. I’ll be out of here in the morning about 7:30 & not get back ‘til after nine, only to do it all over again the next day. I’m re-learning how to plan my errands around my jobs. And I think I’m actually doing better at it than when I did so at 21. No surprise there, though.

And the 2nd job keeps me active, I’m on my feet most of the time. My full-time job involves sitting. All day. Which’s something I’ve never had to do before. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a sore ass at times in my life. So on the afternoons when I don’t go to job #2, I’m usually home long enough to change clothes & then it’s out again; either on my bike or walking. And I make sure I make each of my workouts well worth it, since I’m not able to exercise as much. Seems like the older I get the more critical it is that I exercise, otherwise I wind up lethargic & feeling awful. Come to think of it, I think it says something like that in my astrology chart. (didn’t know astrology was one of my hobbies, did you?..aquarius, with a strong virgo influence, in case you’re wondering)

Things are starting to happen $$$-wise. I'm able to pay off a debt or two. I’m on my way in things. At times I feel like relaxing; after all, I’ve got both jobs. But I’m not done yet. What’s that old saying?..you’ve got to give a little to get a little? This is where self-discipline really comes in handy. I need to stick to it, keep myself on the track I’ve set for myself. My sister looked over the surgical technician program that I’ve got my eye fixed on and she really likes the look of it. Admittedly, there are times that I’m concerned about letting myself fall into my same old habits.

But I’m not going to do that. This is me-time, time to take care of myself and make sure that I’ve made some stability for myself.
