National Cheese Lovers Day (which is today 01.20.2015) seems like an odd day to return but it is as good a day as any, especially since I went to the discount grocery outlet and get this huge wheel of brie for only $3.99. That is almost 2 lbs of brie!!! So not good for my waistline but a treasure and indulgence that I will enjoy. Money is still a little crazy but hey I can afford to snack on brie lol.
OK so where have I been for 4 months? I guess the short answer is here. 2014 was very, very, very difficult year for me. I could not think or write anymore. People say I should write whatever I think but this is public so I cannot. I can say again that my last company threw me for a huge loop and so caught me off guard when they let me go. Then I had to work on money and still do not have that totally resolved but am getting there. Now I have been at my new job for 6 months and am very, very happy there but everyday I think - what happens if I get the rug pulled out from me again? I have zero magic tricks left and that makes me nervous.
But I look back and I made 2014 work somehow. My part time job and eBay. I so sold the shit outta eBay and it saved me. It was a lot of work. I felt scared for so long it just made me numb. But on a better note, how did I end the year??? I went to Massachusetts for Christmas! Oh it was so awesome. It had been over a year and a half since I was there and that was just way too long for me. I loved every single second of it - every second. I missed my mother A LOT and she missed me even more. I talk with her regularly but seeing someone is different. I spent sooooo much time with my nieces and nephews and it was fantastic. We talked and ate and laughed and enjoyed! I also got to see so many friends. Has been hard to make real friends out here - REAL friends like I have back there. Judy even came and spent Christmas with my loco family and she survived. Made me happy to have her there and spend time with her but also for her to see firsthand why I like my nutty family so much and so enjoy seeing them.
I am even more energized because I already have my tickets to return in June. I had some points that I used so got a super deal. This is great news because I will able to see both my nieces graduate from high school this year. It make me happy to be there for moments like that. I cannot wait. Ok so I will write more soon. I am feeling more excited about writing and have stuff to say again. I just don't wanna say it all in one big post. I have to pace myself.
