You know, I’m not usually one for giving myself praise but I am really proud of myself for so many things. This week has brought me in and out of my comfort zone with such lovely outcomes. There’s three I want to talk about, specifically, because it made me the happiest.
life lessons
Insomnia is really starting to become a reoccurring theme for this week. Even as we speak, I can’t seem to get a proper sleep pattern going. Only two days out of this week, I have been able to sleep and rise at a proper time. But, oddly enough, that’s not the only thing that is bothering me.
I have 29 short stories to complete before the end of August but my colleagues made it very clear that I need a break. So, we decided to celebrate the fact that most of the businesses are open again. Mainly the bars because that’s what we cared about.
So, quick fact! Did you know that, when planning to teach in another country, your name on EVERYTHING they ask you to provide has to identical to your federal documentation? Sounds simple, right? Well…tell that to a man with two middle names and only one of them has been used all of his life. Haha!
I know I’ve said it numerous times on various posts but allow me to say this key feature about me: I’m gay. Yeah, I’m not so obvious in public at first glance because of how I present myself. But, if you ask me, I don’t have a problem with admitting it. Just not going to vocalize to every John, Dick & Sally that comes by. Yeah, to be blunt, I have this notion that if you’re meant to know they’ll tell you.
It’s something that’s getting really but, yet…never gets old. This whole week has been filled with liars and thieves getting punished for their crimes. Luck for me, I didn’t witness any of it but, rather, I was informed of the manner. One of the incidents made me laugh. Yeah, I laughed…I couldn’t help it. He had it coming. But the second one made me really sad. I do mean REALLY SAD!!!
You know what the worst thing about trying to get so much accomplished in such a small amount of time: not enough time to read a good book. But I do have an alternative for the time being…Audible, a delightful service from Amazon that sells audiobooks. Been abusing the hell out this service and got through over thirty audiobooks within the course of two months and planning on listening to more. But that’s not the only thing I’m intrigued about…
Alright…it’s time. It’s time to get 2019 started on the right foot. I need to make sure that it’s everything goes precisely – or semi-precisely – well. I’m even going to create a small team to help me further my endeavors as well as theirs. But, that’s going to be a be a spell as we get everything settled so, for now, that’s not what I want to talk about today.
