Transition after transition...

This seems to be my life as of late. Well as of about 7 months now actually. Jesus. Job of 10 years. Gone. Nothing to show for it. My cute lil Costa Mesa bunaglow. Gone. Old roomie still there with a new roomie whose making it way cuter then I ever could and has an adorable dog. I am but a memory. Grandparents. Aging. Yes this is normal I know, yes they are 90 and 94, but it rips my heart out to watch them slow down. A couple of ER visits over the last few months but they are ok right now. My theater. Gone. Something else will ressurect, but still, RG. Gone. My attempt at a relationship. Lasted 6 months. Gone. We're still friends, this is amazing, but still, single again. AGAIN. Moving back into the place I grew up. Weird. My body. Soft. I've gained weight and I'm ridiculously out of shape. My creative urge. Tearing at my insides. My now current job. Blows. But its a job. Friends. Continually changing - closer to some, drifting from others.
Its bizzare. I trying extremly hard to take stock of my life. I have goals - sort of. I plan on having the bastard's debt paid off in a year at most. Hopefully my car as well. I also hope to save some dough so that I can move back out on my own with a mini nest egg. Just like before I got married! Ahhh, those times you look back and wish you said HELL NO instead of I do. Once our new roomie moves in (yup mom's house is housing another) I want to excersise - really get back into some sort of routine. Yoga. Walking. Biking. SOMETHING. I have to. As for my creative nagging...I'll get there. I'm trying to be patient. Trying to take things one thing at a time. I've never felt so off before. My entire life is upside down. Its a start over point I suppose. Its just really really really fucking weird. And its not just me.
I'm surrounded. And its all different...I have friends getting laid off, friends in same situations at me. Then I have friends starting families, starting relationships, marriages. Then I seem to have another round of recently single girlfriends. It seems 2009 is a very weird whirlwind of weirdness. I say weird because its awful but yet starting a new. I mean hell - our economy is in the shithole - unemployment is at its highest rate and even the companies still in biz are crossing thier finger and toes hoping to make it thru this. Yet, people are cutting back - this is good and bad. People are learning to be more creative with thier time and money, going back to the basics. We have a new Pres - history was fucking made! He's stepping into a world of chaos and hopefully going to make some good changes. So far so good it seems.
I have one major problem - patience. I dont have it. I never will. I want everything fixed NOW. Dont worry, I know its not possible. I know I have to be patient (said with extreme sarcasm) but it aint easy. It'll be better. It will. I'm going to start over. I will. I'll be back on my feet. Its just so godamn bizzare right now I cant even explain it. Its like life has smacked me in the face to the point I'm sort of laughing...somewhat slap happy I guess? I'm kind of bouncing around in a circle, fists held high yelling "Bring it Bitch!" Altho I would prefer no more "Broughtin". I'm tired. I would like to just focus and try to get my dumb ass on track. I will. Its just taking too much damn time. Sigh. So - in effort to keep my chin up and hopefully make you all smile a bit as well, here's a happy list (inspired as usual by Ber) as of late:

  • Kickball
  • My girls twitching and squeaking at the birds outside
  • The hot tub
  • Wine
  • A faboo baby shower tea party
  • Mom's ridiculous excitment planning said tea party
  • My bday at District Lounge
  • Some great nights with girlfriends
  • Seeing old friends
  • Spending more time with fam
  • Feeling Bella kick
  • Sushi
  • Butterflies and birds
  • ANTM
  • Waking up to purrs and cuddles
  • Mom's jasmine and calalillies
  • Seeing my other baby bro

Lets all hold on. We'll get thru this odd time I'm sure. I have to admit I'm anxious to see how we all end up. I have a strong feeling its gonna be fucking amazing.

  1. Thank you Jami for posting this. You know where I'm at girl... Whirlwind is right. And confused and upset and lost and found and...and...and... we'll get there. It might take a LOT of sushi, sake and hot tubbing, but we'll get there.

    I love you!!
