Life is like a Game of Dodgeball

And you have none of the balls.  Also you have glasses.


Ah, but I digress.  This past month seems to have hit me upside down with new things, twists, and changes.  But they all seem to be for the better.  Still doing the school thing and still chuggin along with that.  Pretty soon summer will be here, but school has no rest.  Just gonna keep truckin till this year is over and I have that degree in my hands.

It's a good thing I'm enjoying all this, at least bits and pieces.  The transition of school full time and the boy working full time has been nothing short of chaotic, but we're learning.  I've become much more of a homebody with school and going out feels like a long distant memory.  However, with these changes has come many shortcomings financially.  And it seems to me that everyone is suffering.  But I know that this too shall pass because of the choices I've made and the choices the boy has made with me.  It's just going to be a really rough and grueling 3 weeks until things are in the clear.

Things are clearing up.  The weather here has been unbelievable.  I feel like I live in California or something.  There has been warmth and April/May type weather for the past 2 weeks now.  I'm waiting for it to go back to being cold though.

This new weather also has me doing some major spring cleaning, as well as planning for some well deserved upgrades.  Hopefully once the year is out I'll be on track with where I want to be financially and with my living situation, as well as my path in life.  I'm still young, but I'm at a pivotal point to where I won't be a student, I'll be a real world adult with nothing holding me back.  Maybe I'll even have a job lined up.  But I doubt that.

I still feel like this year has just started for me, and it's true to some extent since we're barely on our 4th month into the year.  Spring is making me feel like I have time to really reprioritize, reorganize, and really start fresh with things.  I like that feeling.  It's empowering, which I've needed for quite some time.  Having support and security really does make a difference when you're going through so much.
