Year of Change Indeed

Where do I begin? I guess where I left off is a good place as any. Well after the toughest (and strangest) break-up I've been through, life just kept throwing me curve balls. It was strange to start dating so soon after (during) breaking up, but I just had so many emotions running through me, to force myself not to feel the good ones would have been insane. So I went with the flow and I gotta say, it's working really well. In fact my new budding relationship has been the only steady happy thing in my life right now.
This has been a year of firsts, such as...March was the first time I have had my car window smashed and my purse stolen out of it! Oh joy! My wallet, my favorite purse ever, my iPOD!!!! So angry and upset about it, still to this day. All the music I lost is insane! Let it go Asha. (It's pretty much my mantra).
Let's see, oh yeah, it's the first time I have ever been fired. Yep, that's a new one that happened about two weeks ago. In that first came the first time I filed for unemployment. Oh the joy of bureaucracy. Getting fired was so surreal and intense. A lot of crying, sobbing, cursing and the like. It's hard to explain why I was fired, but I missed some important trees that were currently out of compliance - it's a big deal. Things weren't going well with the job anyway. I had made a major mistake that had come to light just the week before and was suspended for two days.
The silver lining of all of this is that I finally had the push to look for a job that will better suit me. Ironically I applied for a job (online) the day I got fired that I got an interview. It is acting as a public liaison for projects going on in the Golden Gate National Park Recreational Area. It's temporary, but as they told me in the interview, it's a great "foot in the door" position. In any event I think it will be very helpful at getting an even better job.
Some more positives going on with are that I have started running. Or should I say jogging? Kayla and I discovered we run about the same pace so we've been running on the weekends (and now that I'm unemployed I run during the week as well). Cali has been running with us too. It's fun to tire out a high energy mutt! I am also having a ton of fun getting to know Kayla! This Sunday she is doing a triathlon sprint! That is a triathlon but all the events are shorter. I am excited to watch! Yay! I already want to do a 10K run that is put on by the same people as the triathlon. I am also a big fan of Kayla's cooking and baking! Good thing I started running! :D
Anywho, that's all the news from Petaluma!

Keepin' Keepin' on.

I have not had much to write about, but now that I do I am just not ready. I just need to put it out there that I am now a single girl figuring out how to live in the world. It's been a rocky start but C and I are finally on speaking terms. I can even see a friendship in the distant future, though it will be strange, I'm sure. My main goal is to figure out what the hell I am doing with my life. I have realized that I don't have a dream. I don't have a vision of what I want out of life or what would fulfill me (career or otherwise). As much as I would love to have it all figured out, I am looking forward to the journey that is self discovery. Will I stumble? Certainly. Will it be uncomfortable and nerve racking? I would say so. But it's my journey, my bumpy road to walk, stumble and fall all over.
