Here I Am Again

I know it's been awhile, life is in fast forward these days. I have been going through a lot of changes, both in my personal and professional life. I quit my job back in May (I knew I was going to quit in January), and got hired at a rehab care facility in Golden Valley. So far, so fair, in other words, could be better. They hired me full time, but am working part time hours. I started looking for other ways to make money, so I started selling my plasma. I actually make almost $400 a month just having a needle in my arm for an hour at a time while they take out my white blood cells. It usually leaves me kinda tired and groggy, but right now it's helping me keep my head above water.

I also recently moved in with my boyfriend a little over a month ago. This really has been the year of changes so far. In previous years I've done lists, so for this one I decided another list was in order with everything that has changed in the past year. This is mainly for my own purposes, but I'm sure if most people look back over the years, they will notice things don't necessarily change slowly, as I wrote one of these awhile back for the past five years. Well, here I am a year later. I hope this year is an exception, because even though change can be good, this year has been very stressful.

  1. Moved to new apartment and
  2. Living alone to living with someone
  3. "Forced" to leave job (downsizing problems) and start new job in new area
  4. Unfriended by two of my best friends with no explanation
  5. Owning birds to owning a cat (sold the birds)
These are obviously the big changes so far this year, and the first three I knew would change in the first couple months of the year. I'm sure there are more changes to come, hopefully a mix of good and bad, like the list above, with not too much bad.
