Goings on
What I’ve been doing, list edition:
1) Hobbling. My knee cap is not sitting right on my left leg causing some bone-on-bone action/throbbing pain. I am lucky in the aspect that a brace and some strength training should solve it. But FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK. a) It hurts. A lot. b) Can’t I have ONE body part that remains unscathed?
2) Working. And getting a raise! OK, so a small raise. Very small, if you consider that I was used to 12% in the software field. (Thank you, tax payers.) But somehow, $.50/hour more is very fulfilling. I always had a gut feeling there was an office job out there I could tolerate, perhaps even enjoy. This is it.
3) Secreting. I have an amazing opportunity via the sanctuary that I can’t talk about right now. It might now even happen, things are very nebulous. But if it does, it will catapult my animal handling/training experience into the next level.
4) Stressing. No shit, right? You’ve met me. Or at least, you’ve read here. Or maybe you’re reading here for the first time and are so captivated you go back in the archives a bit? Pretty please? Seriously, I know for a fact I haven’t outdone myself for over-doing it. But I’m coming close. Once again, I’m questioning the decision to stay in school. I cannot keep scheduling my life 7am to 6pm and expect to have time to study/write/research. The good news is that I’m certain I’ll survive this semester. The bad news is that I may have to take a “B” in a class or two. Exams come up in the next two weeks. Time will tell.
