Time for thanks...

I am stressed out right now. I have not forgotten about Spain, I swear I will get that blog finished one of these days but it has been hard for me to do anything besides keep my head above water. I usually write a list of things I'm thankful for but to be quite honest I don't think that these past few months have been a joyful time for me. I am glad to be closer to my family and happy I have a job even if it is the bain of my existence. My big news for Thanksgiving is that Tim is coming to visit. I am filled with excitement and terror simultaniously. I haven't seen him since that fateful day I left California and my whole life behind. It has been nearly 4 months and do I feel more over it yet? Not a bit. I love Tim, I don't know how that can change, but at leaset it doesn't feel quite as weird to be dating other dudes at this point.

Gainful Employment, how I've missed you.

I got a job! Don't get too excited, it is possibly the worst job I can think of doing. I could go so far as to say it is up there with turning tricks. It is however, a paycheck with benefits (I'm fairly sure you don't get a 401(k) from a pimp). So I will be thankful and be happy that I will not have to live in a card board box. It has nothing to do with my "chosen profession" and nothing to do with the profession that I will be attending grad school for next fall, it is something that the company elected to pay me more than most because of my vast experience in the area.

I kept a sort of day by day journal of my time in Spain and as soon as I clean that up to one blog entry I'll post it along with pictures. So fear not I will provide you with much info on Antonin Gaudi, Segrada Familia and all the hot Spaniards.

It has long been my philoshopy that journaling is very healthy and helps you maintain your sanity. I have lost my sanity recently and so I've decided to try and blog more often for those of you who read this. Also I will actually write in my personal journal (something I have only done twice since moving to california). I just need to put it back in my routine.

On the work front, I'm now in my second week of work at my new firm. Last week was just bordem and not knowing what to do but now I feel I have a little more direction and I at least have my study materials for the series 7. I also sucessfully asked for the friday off before labor day so I'm going to Oregon for that weekend with Tim and his family.

To bed I go, but check back soon for more updates :)
