Two years later and I am still there loving. It has it's ups and downs... Getting verbally abused isn't the most fun, but I think I have the most difficulty in shutting down after work. I worry about my cases alot in my personal time, and have a hard time seperating work and play. I am passionate about what I do, but it does have its challenges.
I wont bore everyone with the ins and outs of everything that's happened in the last few years, but maybe some highlights are:
I bought 2 miniature sausage dogs- Vinnie and Frankie. They are my heart and soul.
I got a tattoo, with a sleeve to come as soon as I can decide on the right design and most importantly, tattoo artist.
I graduated uni with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Social Science (Human Services) with distinction.
I started studying my Masters in social work, which I am paying for upfront! (What am I, crazy???)
I started on some freaaakin' good anti-depressants which made me feel a whole lot better. I stopped these a few months ago because they made me feel too sick in the stomach and made me too drowsy, but about a week ago, I started a new batch which seem to have a stimulating effect..
On that topic, I have been doing alot of self reflection... I have stopped focusing on my deficits and tried to support myself and encourage myself to be a good person with a fulfilling career.
I bought a really nice Nikon camera... Now I just need to crack photoshop!
I am growing up a little and it scares me...
I moved into a really nice house with my other half (and the sons!). But I continue to have an internal battle about what's important to me in life... The flat screen TVs drain me and suck away my creativity, and I feel guilty about the expensive things around me. Then I feel guilty for feeling guilty, because I know stuff like that makes my partner happy.
Geez.. this isn't turning into highlights, it's turning into feelings. See, I can't seem to go anywhere or do anything without feelings interfering! Oh well.
I think that'll do for now.
