Well, That'll Take the Wind Right Outta Your Sails...

So, Life’s been throwing me curve balls lately. Got a call from my parents Thursday night...the houses might be sold...but the people there don’t want me staying for more than the allotted time – 30 days. If the paper work goes through, I’ll have to be out by December 30. I go through the emotions. Shock, denial, regret, sadness, confusion, more regret, and sadness and finally acceptance. The rents have been talking about this lovely modulare home up in Arkansas that they want to get for me. I'll have an acre of my own up there with them in Arkansas... Then they call back Friday night, the preliminaries have been a success. I have till November 30 to get my stuff and get out. Once again, a lot of that cycle starts up again. Reiko’s wedding is in the latter half of December...if they’d only given me till December 30th I would’ve been entirely content...

Then I remind myself how blessed I am. Yeah...I gotta pack up real quick, and it’s inconvenient ...but, I have parents that rock and will support me...it’s not the end of the world. I can come back for Reiko’s wedding. And the Twilight movie? Yeah, it comes out Nov. 21...kinda puts a bit of a dampener on things, little cramp in the style here. But hey! Last ho-ra with the girls. We can be carefree and eat sushi and go to books a million and watch/ridicule/fall in love with the movie. So, what am I complaining about?

The biggest regret...comes from work. I will miss my girls so much. I’ll miss hearing about their kids, and just the banter we share every morning. Plus, you know, being able to flip off the head nurse without getting fired is pretty sweet ^..^ It hurts a little to know that I’m putting them through ‘the search’ again. Finding someone capable of doing 5 jobs like I do. It hurts more to know, eventually I’ll be little more than an e-mail away...and then I’ll be little more than a memory. Maybe that’s harsh or cynical...but it’s how I’ve come to understand things recently.

The rents are coming down...they should be here...perhaps at 12. Mom’ll visit with everyone down here and help me pack up as much as I can. Dad has to go off shore. Turning in my notice...that’ll probably be the hardest thing. I’m hoping to make the first two weeks of November my last two weeks...maybe that’s selfish of me, wanting to stay as long as I possibly can before I ultimately have to leave. Lord knows, I’ve got so much to pack and...so little time. Still, I’m determined to make what time I have left as tear-free and cheerful as possible. Being jobless sucks though, no matter how you look at it. Once again, I’m wading into the unknown -..- I hate that pool.

Well, I was hoping to stay up as late as I possibly could to see the rents...but...I dunno. I know once I take my shower, I’ll be longing for my bed and some nice oblivion. I’ve been having a sinus headache all day long too…does not help with cleaning =..=

I’ll talk later...’Night, Sunshines.

You Are a Werewolf

You are moody and easily provoked. You are highly loyal and protective of those you love. While you can be intense at times, you are generally a laid back person. But if a fight comes your way, you will fight ‘til the death if necessary. You seem normal to most people. No one understands how different you can be. It's like a switch flips for you sometimes - and then you're a completely different creature.
