A Change In Direction ...

The past week or so I have been contemplating my life and which direction I want it to go. I finally decided to take the first steps to pursuing my dream job ... becoming a chef! I made an appt. for a tour of the Culinary Academy here in SF and am heading there this afternoon. Am pretty psyched about this. I have wanted to do this for many, many years. And now with the school being so close to work, timing could not be better! My only concern is tuition. Hopefully I can get grants and stuff. So here's looking forward to be a brighter future!

Some Follower Pics ...

These pics come from 2 or 3 different followers of the blog. What do ya'll think?

Hope you are having a great week so far.

Lazy Sunday ...

Have not managed to get much done today. Well, did more than I wanted to but less than I should have done. I put in some work hours from home, took a the dog on a couple of longer walks but that is about it. Hopefully you are all having a more productive weekend.

Feeling Icky ...

Have a feeling today is going to be a long day. First, I am beginning to feel sick. Have been since Saturday. Not as bad as I was feeling Sunday but still not 100%. And I have a feeling today is going to be a looooong day too. Oh well. I will get through it. But it may hurt for a bit!

Hope you guys have a great week! Vacation is over!

Have a Safe & Sane 4th ...

However you decide to spend today's celebrations, please make sure you do it safely. But most importantly, have fun! I believe the roommate and I are going to go on a little hike with the dog. Once we find somewhere inthe East Bay area to go to that allows dogs. No matter what we do I am sure it will be fun because we are family! Have fun ya'll!

Drum Roll Please ...

So after much deliberation on whether to keep this blog going, I have decided that ... I am going to keep it running!

Aside of that one twat, you guys have been amazing in the amount of support you have sent my way. It has really changed my outlook on the blog and those that follow it. I was not expecting to receive so much support. Some were just a few words but many of you sent a lengthy email and I thank you so very much for that. It is an awesome feeling to know that so many of you care about me and the outcome of this blog.

A lot of how I am feeling has to do with running out of my anti-depressants. I have been without them for about a week and a half now. I am having a very hard time getting my medications refilled. It has been a battle! But I should have them by Monday or Tuesday of this week and should be all better by the end of the week.

Anyone who reads this blog knows that I hold a full time job and work ... A LOT! This next month is not going to be any different. There are 4 of us on the SF team for our game and 3 of the 4 all want vacation time this month. I am the only one who is not taking one. I have also volunteered to cover them as much as I can. So I am sure I am going to be wiped by the end of this month. Luckily I love my job and the game that I support. So it's all good. And the extra money will be nice.

Speaking of money ... I have decided I am never going to ask anyone for a dime on here again. No matter how tough things get. That is not why you all come here and I should not expect anything from any of you. We are all here for our love of the nut sack! That is enough for me!

Anyway, I have gone on long enough. I really want to thank all of you again. You have no idea how much this means to me.
