Long time no see

Wow it's been a long time since my last post. I don't really think I've felt much like writing anything. Christmas and New Year's have come and gone, and they were nice. There wasn't much money this year for presents, but that's okay it was nice anyway. I did get a couple of offers on the house, but neither one panned out. It might be time to turn it in to a rental. I really don't want to and I'm holding out a little while longer to see if the new stimulus will have any effect.

It's just been hard. I've been holding up pretty good. When the second offer on the house fell through, I cried. I'm not much of a crier, I have a tendency to keep things to myself and work it out in my head. This can make me quiet sometimes. I have faith that things are going to come around, in their own time. I just have to wait.

My job is okay. It can be pretty stressful at times since we've been short staffed. Plus we haven't been as busy so it's hard to justify hiring new people. Which makes the people there feel overworked when we do have those busy days. It does not help that my manager can not write a good schedule that makes any sense. That part is frustrating. For instance next weekend I was given a 3-day weekend, yet I'll be on-call on Sunday. What's the point of a three day weekend if you can't go out of town?

My boyfriend? He's wonderful. He's been very helpful in keeping me from having a nervous breakdown. We've been together two years and I'm very happy. He's smart, sexy, and thoughtful. He does make me feel like I'm someone special, and that I mean the world to him. He makes me laugh even when I'm having a bad day. Plus he has this knack for sending a message when I'm stressed out that always makes me smile. That part of my life is very good, and I'm thankful for that.

One day the house will sell, and I'll be able to put that part of my life behind me. In the meantime I just keep trying to move forward. Eventually this time in my life will be a distant memory and I'll wonder why I was so stressed out about it all. Life is always changing, and when I stop thinking about it so much it will probably fall in to place.
