angelak | Blowing off work for the first time in a while

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Been so incredibly busy. Busy training, busy making life goals and being a little scared, busy seeking self validation from me, busy looking to my partner for support. Busy traveling, busy working. Busy working some more.
Busy trying to live my life. And I just haven't been able to hit the keyboard very much.

Day in and day out... sometimes time is flying by, and other times it is dragging because I look at the paths that I want to build before and wonder if it is the right reality for me. Except that deep down I know that I wouldn't be happy if I didn't make life any other way. I know - ambiguous. Deal.

I've been working myself hard. I know I could probably work myself harder, but I think Jim really thinks I'm insanely anal as it is.

Life is good. Next week Jeff graduates Police Academy. He failed his very last test... they're making him take it on Monday. He has to wait the weekend and now he's worrying about that. I feel for him. He's going to pass anyway. We're all human and can trip any step of the way. His agency is not going to fire him for failing the last test in a 5 month course of training. They've invested in him, he's young and skilled and motivated.

Back to me...

The best things in life are not the ones that come easy.
This is my mantra, to remind myself of why I am where I'm at these days.
Going to Steve's party on Saturday, that will be fun. Want to go on a day hike Sunday along with my usual work out; just for fun. I should contact some people because I'm out of the loop with some folks. Yikes!
