Yes folks, I made it.
I made it another year. I have successfully completed thirty years on this earth. I know, it seems like a long time, but really, the last thirty have the feeling like they are going to be prelude to the next thirty. So many things on the cusp of coming to fruition.
I made some great strides in getting into decent shape this past year, and although the last two months or so have not seen any progress, it's definitely time to start working again. I lost 20 lbs in a few months. It's time to attack the next twenty. And then the next 15 or so. That would put me in the kind of shape I want to be in. The next twenty are going to be rough, but stick with me. I'll get it done.
I have a good job and I managed to make it through the latest round of layoffs this past week. It seems they actually see some value in keeping me around. The thought of a nice severance package and a few months off from work was very appealing, but it was not to be. The job I have now is keeping the bills paid, and kicking in a little extra to hit the savings account. Not bad at all. I'm still not making "six-figures" but I'm on track to get closer this year than any year prior.
I'm back in school. Yup. Again. Hopefully this time, I will stay motivated because I am finally taking my "serious" courses for my major. I know I've put this off for far too long, but it is time to get it over with. I still have grad school to deal with after this! Wish me luck in this endeavor. It's going to be a rough ride.
Love life? That's a complicated issue. I don't want to deal with it at the moment. Suffice it to say that what I have going on now is great and I am happy and appreciative of what I have; whatever that might be.
So. It's my birthday. I'm thirty. My body didn't suddenly break down (although I hear it starts to around 33-34 or so). I didn't die at the stroke of midnight. I actually feel rather refreshed. This moment of introspection has done wonders.
Thanks for listening!
