I need a vacashun from my vacashun...

Had a great weekend in Seattle/Mount Vernon/Renton. Saw mom, went flying, the dog made a friend, had some quality hangout time... it was all around pretty great. Thanks Amelia! And Leland for letting me crash. :) Drove the 5 hours home, then after a night in my own bed, headed to Dworshak with the HR crew for a project visit. Hitting the reservoir tomorrow. It's going to be HOT but it should be nice. Then tomorrow night is the Eclipse movie release. Should be entertaining at the very least. I'm looking forward to participating in the festivities.

In other news, after a lot of debate, I decided today that now is not the right time to do this certificate thing I signed up for. Seeing as how I don't even know where I'm going to be in 6-7 months, I'm kind of a little preoccupied with that. Besides, I really don't want anymore loans. It just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to think about how much 9 credits costs. *Shudder* So that's that. And I'm going to sit down with my boss and be completely honest with him about this whole job situation. Turns out they are going to try and slide me into this other position that I've been fighting to get for so long, but I don't want to take it and then end up making the decision to leave at the end of this year. I really just do not like this whole not having a real plan deal. I'm a planner. I like to have a plan. So this not knowing BS is driving me crazy. Ugh!

And I'm attempting to put a temporary stop to my incredibly detrimental shopping habit. It's gotten a little out of control the past couple months. Time to reign it in. The goal: No unnecessary purchases for 2 months. This is going to be hard...

To be continued...

Be strong!

Also: don't make the mistake of "making a plan" just to make a plan. What if it's the wrong plan, and the only desire it fulfills is the desire to have a plan? You might think about taking some time off - bum around South America, work in a bar, or move out of Walla Walla and see where life takes you. However you think you might best figure out what you want to do, do that, take your time, and you'll see where you want to be. There are lots of jobs that pay the bills, but it sounds like it's time to find one that will make you happy. My guess is that it's not working for the government.

Thanks lady. I think you are the only person that reads this thing. And you're so right. I need to find something I enjoy, not just something I only sort of like.

Oh, and after I wrote this post, I actually changed my mind about the school thing. I'm doing it... and I'll just ignore the tuition amount. :-\

But I changed my mind again... *Sigh*
