Feeling my way

"Feeling my way through the darkness, guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end, but I know where it starts
They tell me I'm too young to understand, they say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes, Well that's fine by me"



I was reading A Day in the Life of a Hockey Wife the other day and found myself nodding in agreement when she spoke of why she hasn't been blogging lately.

Now, clearly, I am not a hockey wife. But once upon a time I thought I might end up one (and it was during that time that I found this blog). But that's another story. And one that I've never shared with this blog.

And it got me started thinking about what I don't share with this blog. I share a good deal, some of it extremely personal, but most of it not. To an extent, I know who reads my blog. Family, friends, people I work with. I've always been a very private person. But living so far away from home I started this blog so everyone would know what was going on in my life.

But mostly I post the sunshine and rainbows part of my life. With the exception of my two, yes two, robberies. I don't talk about my relationships, or lack thereof at the moment. Only once in a while will I write about what's going on at work. I have all these unpublished posts that, to me, are far too personal to share with the world. Because you never know who's reading.


But I do love to blog. I feel bad if I go several days without writing a post. Maybe one day I will talk about everything, completely lose my censor, but let's start small first. 

My life is slow out here. Super busy at work at the moment, but that's all that's going on my life right now. That is to say, I have no life outside of work. Because when you're a grown adult and you move to a new city, let's face it, it's not that easy to make friends.

In Indy it was easy. First it was the interns, then the other people in the office who moved into town for work and finally meeting people at Ann Taylor bc I had to have a second job. Stamford was less easy, it took a little longer, but it was a cute city and oh, so close to NYC. In Houston there are only 10 other people in the office. And they all have family, roots, friends here already. With the exception of the ED, everyone is from Texas.


But right now, right at this moment, I want to be alone. I like being alone. But. That doesn't mean that I'm not lonely.

15 days

As of yesterday, it has been 15 business days since I submitted my paperwork to State Farm for all of the things that were stolen from my apartment. They have never reached out to me, but I have called them three times. First, with questions before I submitted my paperwork (this was when they told me they had 15 days to accept or reject my claim but that it "never takes that long"), then to see if they needed my new address since I was moving soon and finally last week to get an update on my claim status (this was when they told me they were just waiting on the police report which they had requested on August 16 and it only takes 3 or 4 days). Maybe they put a note in your file every time you call and make you wait that much longer before they finish your claim.  I just want to replace what was taken from me. According to Texas law, there are deadlines for insurance companies to act after you’ve filed a claim. They must accept or reject my claim within 15 days after m

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for.  I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I  had to let her go that afternoon. 

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f
