Clear as mudd

I think I've come a pretty long way in the last 3 months. 6 wks in a classroom of 27 ppl that are now ppl who are a part of my every day life. little did i know that in those 6 wks id find a handful of ppl that would impact my life so greatly!

you know, i got my new job thinking that this was it, this was going to be my big break, my wake up call. my introduction to adulthood. i thought by having this job, it would bring me back to someone/something that i was holding onto to so tightly. they would see me in a different light and maybe somehow make it back into my life. they'd see that this is the person that they have been looking for this whole time. that i was standing right in front of them! in the back of my mind i had this whole dream laid out, id get my big girl job, make money, be able to stand on my own two feet without anyone else's help. and that someone would see me finally for what they wanted so badly from me! i wanted to be that person for them, i wanted them to see that i could be that person.

ha. this new life style that i now hold in my hands isnt anything different from who i was when i was stuck at dead end jobs, running around wildly double fisting beers and downing shots. im just more responsible now. i save that for the weekends and just not as hardcore. i go to bed early, i wake up early, i make sure im 30 mins early to work so i can get to my desk and prepare for the day. i work hard, i get confused, thank goodness my walls are kind of soft so as not to hurt myself too badly when i get so frustrated i just want to bang my head against a wall! i dont go out every night to get wasted and pass out so i dont dream, i dont have relationships just to have someone around. i've realized i dont always have to be in some kind of relationship to feel better about myself! i thought id all of a sudden be wiser more mature. nope, I'm still me! I'm a goof ball, i laugh when im nervous, i clam up when i feel like im about to crash and burn, i dont like to look ppl in the eye if they talk about certain subjects of life. but i do know what i want. im not so quick anymore to be on a constant look out. i have to work on me. and in order for me to do that, i have to close some unfinished business in my past. i dont know what that might be right now, but my heart has be able to fully move on and i cant move forward 100% without closing doors in my past. i have left so many thing unfinished or unsaid that it is now putting a hold on my heart for my future. my mind and my body might be moving forward, but my heart....its not there yet. and i need ALL of me to be on the same page. i really hope i figure this out fast because im about to jump into some pretty clear muddy waters! i cant keep shaking my head yes while saying no...is doesnt work that way.

I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...
My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...
