37 down and a whole life ahead of me

Birthday’s are a good time to reflect on all that one has accomplished and a time to set a plan in motion as to where to go next.

37 years is a lot to reflect on, so I’ll just concentrate on the last 12 months.

Here are just a few of the things that I have embarked on since this time last year.

At work I designed, edited, and published 7 books for my boss.

Visited Bali, Scotland, and Europe.

Went sledding my first time as an adult.

Went snowshoeing for the first time.

Flew to Vegas to see a friend, the after a horrible experience walked out and got my own room at Paris.

Saw my 1^st Cirque du soleil show

I got married for the 3^rd time.

Attended my 1^st 12 step meeting to support my addict husband.

Lived with an addict and learned a lot about addiction and realized his actual addiction wasn’t his worst trait.

After enduring 5 months of severe emotional abuse I left my husband.

Completed a 15-week course for battered women.

I also learned that even with out the addiction he’d still be abusive.

Lived in 4 places and moved 3 times.

Took up snowboarding.

Changed my entire diet to be free of: gluten, grain, soy, dairy, corn, rice, potatoes, and tapioca.

Embarked on allergy shots once again. In 47 days I will have endured 36 shots. I should be done today, but on the 12^th of March I had a horrible allergic reaction so they cut back and I’m crossing my fingers I’ll be done with bi-weekly shots by the end of April and then I’ll start going every 2-3 weeks.

Since Feb 14^th I have applied for about 145 state jobs and have had 4 interviews and have 2 more set up. I’m hoping and praying that I’ll find the perfect job for me.

That makes 37 years down and a whole life ahead of me. 

Next on the agenda:

Go skydiving with Dad

Complete allergy shots

Get a job with the state.

Go to Thailand with Julia in November 2012
