Heh, I think I beat the HS Webcam Chat Party thread in the longevity record....it's been about six months since I said anything here.

I wish that I could say "I'm wonderful and everything is going great".  In some cases, it is, and others, not so much.  My sleeping comes and goes, as does my peace and serenity.  I would have figured, after all that I've been through in these past years, that things would just make sense and come easy.  Well, guess what.  They don't.

Maybe it's that way for some people, I dunno.  More power to them if it does.  For me, it seems there is an ongoing battle that I must fight on a daily basis.  The odd thing, is that I don't totally know why.  Perhaps there is a part of me that needs the struggle, to feel.  Sometimes pain feels more real than anything else.

I am sure there are several of you out there that can relate.  I just wonder why we hold on to it.  Threre really is no need.  Sometimes, when I lay there at night, trying to sleep, I have to force other images into my head, cause the ones there are the faces of my kids, of my mom and dad, and any other painful memory that decides to show it's ugly head.

I do have a lot to be thankful for though, and I need to remember, that none of those things would/will be possible if I fail. (yeah, no pressure...lol).  So, I will just keep on keeping on, as they say.  Whomever they is, I do not know, but "they" seem to have done something right, so I will try to follow in "their" footsteps.

Anyway, I am still alive and kicking, and will do whatever it takes to persevere, as I have always done.

Okie Dokie, blogthings bandwagon time...

Your personality type is introspective, principled, self critical, and sensitive.

Only about 2% of all people have your personality - including 3% of all women and around 1% of all men.
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging.
 
 
You Are a Marble Cake
Eclectic, inventive, and peaceful.
You are never willing to accept what's "normal." You live to push the envelope.
You find it hard to make up your mind. You prefer to have everything you want, right away!
 
 
You Are 75% Passionate, 25% Compassionate
You are very passionate, especially when it comes to love.
In fact, it's sometimes difficult for you to tell between love and lust.
You jump in head first, and figure things out later... usually when it's all over!

It seems like forever since I have blogged.  I suppose it really has been.

It's rather difficult to do so when you don't really have access to the internet, go figure...

I try to get on when I can, but most of the limited time I get is used for job searching and taking care of things that have the highest priority, which in this case, blogging and going to the Star Wars board have not been high up on that list.

I am currently trying to get acclimated to a new enviornment, and so far, it is going very well.  They say nothing is constant but change, but I think things are to a point where that change will be less frequent, and I can finally stabilize.

The bouts of major depression I was going through are gone, and I don't think they will be coming back.  I have been dealing with a lot of the issues that were causing it, and the one that was causing me the most pain, is no longer a problem.

Letting go is really hard sometimes, of the past, of mistakes I have made, and things that I had no control over yet blamed myself for them anyway.  I don't want to do that anymore.  I want to live and be happy, and I have found the peace that eluded me for so long...at last.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well.  I will check back in soon.

Sorry bout the little rant.  But sometimes, I have no other way to say how I am feeling.

Anyway...

It was a good thing I purchased a jacket, some gloves and a beanie this past weekend.  Cause...here ya go

Denver, Colorado
Currently: 25°F Snow
Snow
Wind: North at 26 MPH
Humidity: 86%
Dewpoint: 21°F
Barometer: 29.92 inches and
Wind Chill: 9°F
Sunrise: 7:16 am
Sunset: 4:38 pm


Yes, 30mph winds.  Blizzard, straight up....lol

It is blowing snow like mad right now.   And it's only been snowing since about 6 this morning...but holy cow.  It's a lot.  It was already up past my ankles.   Had a fun walk from the train station to the office

Oh, and I noticed on the national weather service site, denver is in a blizzard warning...um...warning?  Gee, I couldn't tell, ya know, seeing as how it is blizzarding and stuff.

Ya know what though, I couldn't see it this morning, but I do now.  Snow is truly one of the most beautiful things in this world.  (although walking for 12 minutes in the middle of a blizzard....lol)

So more fun.  I got a call from the office last night, but the phone was on silent and I didn't hear it.   They didn't get my timecard.  I know I faxed it on Friday.  I wish they would have called me sooner.  I grabbed the confirmation sheet off of the fax machine this morning, but of course, it says "busy", so it didn't go through.

I should have checked it on Friday, but oh well.  The only problem with that, is that now there is the possibility that I will not get paid this Friday.  What that means, is I am screwed.   They are trying to see what they can do, but if I don't get paid, I have no idea what I am going to do.  I might not get my check until next Wednesday.   I don't have enough money right now to pay for the rent, so...yippee.

Oh, and they just called me.  Nothing they can do.  I won't have my check until next wednesday.  So...yay, I am screwed, totally. Go me.  I suppose with the way things have been going lately, I shouldn't be surprised. What I wouldn't give, to just curl up into a little ball, cry for awhile, then disappear into nothingness.

Oh well.  What else is new.  Turmoil is my middle name.

With each passing day, the pain in my heart
it's so overwhelming, every moment we're apart

The thought of a morning, and watching you sleep
as I sit on the bed, and quietly weep

You awaken and see me, the look on your face
As you hold me tightly, in a loving embrace

I can't say these words, without wanting to cry
As we had to let go, and both said good-bye

I want to come home, I miss you so much
I need you, and love you, and long for your touch

Just to hear your voice, and the sound of your laugh
as we walk hand in hand, down a brick covered path

Forever and always, without measure we say
with a haunting word that creeps in called "someday"

But I failed again, when you needed me there
In the midst of your sorrow, you said I don't care

There are no words to express, the guilt that I feel
And I am truly sorry, for this pain is so real

I would ask for forgiveness, but I deserve none
for the hurt I have caused you, and the harm that was done
