The days are getting better now…

Sorry it has been so long since last post, things have been busy for me!

Wifey and i decided to do some upgrades around the house… We (I) decided to redo both bathrooms and had to replace wax rings on upstairs toilet due to leakage, consequently i had to rip out large portion of ceiling in the downstairs bath and patch it up due to same leakage. that was fun, i highly suggest never doing either of those things.  We repainted and refreshed, things look much better! Then we (Wifey) go the BRIGHT idea to change all the ceiling lights in the house also, unfortunately rickbo taught me how to do that so I couldn’t say no to the boss.  If you remember we our house had those 1970’s brass fixtures that really dated the appeal of the house. 

I am in my last week of the semester of school, I have had a few papers, presentations and projects that have kept me busy too, I should end up with all A’s for the semester.  16 credit hours worth of A’s.  Only one day left then I’moff for a month throughout the holiday’s… that will give me plenty of time to work at my new job!  I start my Sales job at Roe-Comm Tuesday morning at 8:00. I am a little nervous but it is cell phones so it sshouldn’t be to hard for me.  I had two interviews and they offered me job last week on Friday.  They wanted an experienced cell sales man, preferable a college student.  I needed a job, and they will work with my schedules.  It will pay the bills until I can get enough schooling in to switch to a job in my field.

Things are going much better for me and that last peice of the puzzle is in place.

 

***** well, today was my first day, seemed to be good.  AT&T is a new service, i think my experience is why they hired me.  Sounds like i will be kindof the go to for that.*****

very difficult day emotionally

today was an odd day for me.  Over the last 3+ years i have worked very hard to get my act together. I have seen a therapist, changed terapist, took medication, doubled medication and then took myself off medication.  I have educated myself on how to take control of live and make my own decisions.  I have figured out, in combination of cognitive therapy and self-education, how to eliminate all my bad habits.  After all my screw-ups i finally have things going in the right direction.  School is going great, relationships are rebuilt and prospering but today i still feel like that lost little boy.

After loosing my last job due to my problems and having a few months off, i have been working very hard the last few weeks to get a PT job in my future feild.  I have sent out resume’s, completed application packets and followed up in person just as all the job sites and articles suggest.  However my email is still empty and my phone is silent.  I cant help it as the thoughts of self-doubt and uncertainty come racing back into my head.  any advice?

acts of charity… who benifits most?

My freshman class of 23 people in my human service program have decided to make a difference.  We as a whole elected to do some good for the community.  Well actually we are doing it to pass the class, however  we all chipped in baked our cookies, breads and muffins.  We all took our turn running the table at the bake sales.  We have reached out to the community and asked local companies for supplies and monitary donations.  We have made and set boxes out and asked for food donations.  My class in unbeleivable.

We have raised almost 1,000 dollars in the last month and we have some great plans.  We are redoing the dining room at a local home for men, mostly WWII veterans with P.T.S.D. or in some cases worse.  We are going to sand, paint, nail, glue, sew, hang, and sweat whateverit takes to make them feel like the are eating thier meals in a northern woodland lodge.  But that is just the start, we also are working with salvation army and will take a local poverty stricken family and give them a happy holiday.  We will by the children gifts, toys, essential items, a xmas tree and even a turkey.  We will wrap the presents and decorate the tree with them, if they dont have ornaments we will buy those too, everything except cook the turkey.  We will do everything possible to ensure they have atleast one happy holiday.  Like the game shows say, “but wait there is more.” With the canned and boxed food we are collecting we will seperate that into four groups, use our remaining budget to buy honey hams and give those packages to the next four families on the salvation army list. 

We are doing all this to help sad people feel happy…I suggest that everyone think seriously about how they can help someone in need, you may find that you will get just as much happiness as the one you help.  FIRSTTWIN you know what im talking about!!!
