Life in the Nuthouse

I’m trying to get back into this whole blogging thing. I stopped when things got so crazy with school and drama that I didn’t think anyone particularly cared to hear about, and I’m hoping all of that has calmed down.
These last few days have been pretty eventful. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but I got a new position at work, so my schedule changed. I’m back to my 10-7 shift that I started with when I very first started at the call center. So I’m getting home much later than usual, and am able to sleep in a littel later than usual. So I’m not able to do as much in the evenings as I used to, because as soon as I get home, I eat, talk to James, and I’m pretty well wiped.
I signed up with the orgainzation James is in for the star treck roleplaying. I haven’t watched an episode of star treck in a very long time. I guess I should. I have them all, but I’ve always got too much to do. LOL! But I used to watch it all the time once I had winamp and all the episodes. So I’ve been training with that and getting to know the ropes.
I finally got together with Heather last week for breakfast and we were able to catch up. I hadn’t seen or heard from her in a couple of weeks, so apparently, a lot happened, as it’s totally not like her to go weeks without tweeting or contacting me.
I’ve been making other friends as well. I met Emma at the firewalk I attended back in April, and we connected well. We went to a beltane ceremony together, back at the beginning of may, and since it was my first real Beltane, I had no idea what I was doing. But it was very informal, and the people were awesome. The theme was based on friendship, and it was then that I realized I was still holding onto some sadness about another childhood friend from Idaho who I haven’t spoken to since sixth grade. But I digress. So, Emma and I got together here again a couple Fridays ago, and we had coffee and talked. She brought in both her taro decks and we started comparing decks. It was awesome.
Things with James are going good. I went up in March, as some of you know, and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to go up again at this point. I’d really like to get started on asking questions about what I need to do to eventually move up there, but he says all he can get are voice mails of people. I have absolutely no idea who I need to call, so I’m a bit clueless when it comes to that stuff.
My psycho neighbor moved out, so I won’t get my floor banged on at 2 in the afternoon. Cheech and Chong moved out, so I won’t get contact highs when I’m in the basement doing my laundry. My AC went out, but they brought a new one, so I’m mostly set for the summer. Now, if only they could put a swimming pool in here. LOL! I tease Kim and Julie, because Kim has talked about putting a pool in their back yard. I tell them, You’ll be seeing a lot of me then. LOL! I can’t help it. Water is theraputic for me.
Family situation hasn’t changed. Grandma moved to Washington DC. with my uncle, or should I say they’re in the process of moving. He got orders to go there, and he really wants her to stick with him for various reasons. Grandma wants me to come down and visit again. She’s hoping to get Mom and Spook to go around Christmas, and if I can get the time off, I might kidnap James and take him too. Mom’s still in Oklahoma. My brother inded up in prison. Uncle Jim was supposed to come visit me last week, and when he got to the truck stop, his boss told him I was too far, and he wasn’t going for it. That was a real let down. He’s my favorite uncle, and I haven’t seen him since 1998, so I was very disappointed.
Candi and I still hang when we can. I wanted to wait until things settled down in her world with school and things. I’m happy for her and Kyle because they’re pregnant. I know they’ve wanted that, and I’m glad it’s happened. Tasha and I have been civil. She’s back to who she was when we first became friends, but I still don’t trust her. But, we talk at work, and no drama, so I guess that’s ok. Julie and Kim are doing well. I still hang with them when our schedules permit. Chi left for a while, but then came back, so I don’t know when we’ll be hanging again. We went to a psych fair back in March, and we had a good time, but that’s the last time we’ve hung out. She ended up moving to Washington D.C. with some guy, and that didn’t work out, so she’s back now.
So, that’s about it in a nut shell. Last night, I went out with Bonnie, Nancy, and Jeff to a new place called Marks. Well, it’s new to me anyway. It’s a little diner type thing i guess. We ended up having a good time.
Well, I’m going to end this now, because it’s gotten too long. I’ve got more grocery shopping to do today, and I’ll be cleaning and things. Yay!
