I'm Baaaaack !!!

The tricky thing about that title is, I was never really away...
Was December as busy for you as it was for me?? Holy Ba-G-Cow!
In a 'nutshell' (though we'll see how this goes) in the middle of November: I was laid off from my job, school ended and right away I was able to miraculously find two jobs to replace both of those. At the same time I was fortunate to have the loving family I have who bought me a car! (all of which I think I've previously announced)

So December was filled with: me working those two jobs - which turned out to be approximately ten hours nearly every day! 5 at one job, 5 at the other, or a double at one, etc. - me preparing for Christmas - me missing my two kids who spent most of their Christmas vacation with their dad - me waiting (and waiting and waiting) for school to start again - me handling other ridiculous events in my life (most of you know what I'm talking about) - me still finding time to rock climb, be a cafe junky, attend poetry readings, host parties at my place, start 4 new books, sign up for new school classes... and then some...

What I didn't do: sleep...eat...maintain sanity...post blogs...write my novel... (though I spent a lot of time planning and plotting in my head)

Craziness!!

And now: it's January! So I quit my second job, today is my first day of school!!!!!!!! -- YIIPPPEEE!! Can I just say Again how excited I am!!! YaY! (I'm actually in my Phil. in Lit class right now!) (blogging on my first day, nice, huh?) and yet still able to hold meaningful conversations with the professor! ooh yeah! -- my kids are back home and in school again, and I'm settling into my life, again, after even more hecticness...

So, other classes include: Math - again, same teacher, so I already know I've got it nailed! - Astronomy, and Rock Climbing... my current drama as I may have to actually drop that one in which case rethink my whole semester...life...self...I don't know if I can handle that... It's a long story, but apparently I thought I needed that credit and now I think technically I don't... egh.
If I don't take rock climbing it would open up time and room for any other class which is required and money would be better spent that way... nnnnnoooooo! (we'll see what happens dundundun)

Uhoh. I just realized I have a doctor's appointment and have to leave in about 20 minutes...
(This class doesn't end for another 40 minutes...) so yeah, I'll be leaving class early on my first day...great, huh?

Alright, well that's enough for now. We'll see how January goes. But you can expect more entries for sure, since I'll be online everyday now and in class everyday : )
Hope your holidays were enjoyable! Be sure to leave a post and let me know what You did in December!! (maybe the craziest thing, or what you did for New Years, etc.)

I learned I'm a Narcisist...by nature.
