I'm Back Again (For Now)
Hello Internet. How have you been? Sorry I haven't talked to you in a long time. I've been busy. Did you have a good holiday? As you probably already figured out, I come and go from this blog thing. I take many long breaks between writing. Either nothing interesting has happened or I've got the writer's block again. Lately, it's been both. But I do have news.
So what's happened since the last time I blogged?
The job I got at Basin Healthcare as the early-ass morning receptionist is no more. I was promoted to Administrative Assistant to the CEO. This means I'm now going to work from 8am to 5pm. No more 4:30am wake-up alarms. Yay. (And the pay-raise is splendid.)
I'm going to Austin for spring break. I felt the need to get out of town and decided on Austin. Why go to Austin again? Well mostly it is because I'm determined to take a proper trip there. The last handful of times I've been were whirlwind 2 day trips. I'm tired of all of that driving just to spend 2 days there. This time it's going to be 3, not counting driving time. At least, that's my plan. Drive in really early one day and have the rest of that afternoon and evening; have the next two days for whatever I feel like; the fourth day will be a half-day because I will need to drive home in the afternoon. I really hope it goes as planned. People close to me know how OCD I get when it comes to plans.
I just can't help it. I try to apologize to people in advance. But once I get a schedule in my head, I am compelled to follow it. If there's a speed-bump, a detour, or any other sidetrack in the plan, I get very antsy. I can't help it. I feel like things aren't going according to plan and I'm missing out on something, and that means things aren't right. And they need to be right. See? OCD.
The ex and I are in the friend zone now - where it should be. There's no real awkwardness when we hang out with our friends. We even get lunch together sometimes just to stay in touch. So it's all good. I don't have to put up with his hi-jinks anymore and when he tries to pressure me into drinking or something, I firmly say no and shut the door on that conversation instead of letting him keep trying like I used to do. It feels good not to deal with it anymore.
There's a few other things too that I could mention, but I'm saving those for posts later.
