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.

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...
Made it into 2025 injury-free—well, mostly! 😆 Besides the usual aches and pains (and that one time I threw my back out, but we’re not counting that—that’s just seasoned wisdom kicking in). On the bright side, my diabetes is well under control! My latest doctor’s appointment went great—numbers are low, bloodwork looks good, and I just need to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the hubby is down with the flu, so he’s quarantined in the bedroom while I’ve taken over the couch. Work has been hectic. We’ve been short a recruiter, which means more work on my plate. We finally hired someone new, but she’s still in training. She seems nice—quieter than the rest of us, but then again, our little group is a bit on the weird side. On the fun side, I got a new tattoo—matching with my bestie! 💉✨ And now, I’m seriously considering a septum piercing. Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but I say, why not do it while I still can? I haven’t spent much time at the barn this year. Then again, t...
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...
