Hello friends, old and new.
I am sorry it’s been so long since I’ve updated this blog. As much as I’d like to say I’ve not been impacted by this nationwide economic downturn, things are a little rough around the edges right now. I do have a great and steady job that I really enjoy doing. Unfortunately, I’m still recovering from the mono infection I had last year and when flu season rolled around I found myself back at square one. It seems like every little bug floating around the office goes straight to me. Having to take time off work to rest means earning less money. Right now, with my husband in school, I’ve been paying most of our bills. Stressful much?
As always life has been a rollercoaster. I find myself feeling exhilarated and energized by new artistic projects I’d like to take on. A friend of mine has recently inspired me to get in touch with my artistic side and perhaps use that as an outlet for some of the myriad emotions I deal with regularly. Some new opportunities have presented themselves and I’m feeling pretty comfortable with my new group of friends. Don and I will be travelling to New Jersey and New York next month on a mini-tour for a musical side project of his. All this band practice inspired me to pick up my bass again and my fingers are sore from playing so much.
I’ve been having a hard time focusing on anything for extended periods of time lately. The stress of our current financial burdens, recent changes in the workplace, and the approaching holidays was making me increasingly reclusive. I’m working on getting out more because it’s healthier for me. I will attempt to get on here more often and make more updates, but alas I make no promises.
Here’s hoping that the upcoming new year will bring better health, increased wealth, and happiness that I can share with others.
