A month later

what happened

I haven’t written a journal entry in over a month. Since my last entry, my marriage has improved some, I got promoted to full-time at the Apple store, all the girls visited from California for Dad’s birthday party, and I’ve made some progress playing the guitar.

I could try to give a play-by-play of the past six weeks, but the prospect is exhausting. I’m writing this entry at 3:00am, so my concentration isn’t sharp enough to attempt that kind of stunt.

I’m very broke until my full-time hours kick in at Apple. Yes, they offered me full time concierge a few weeks ago. I guess sending my “plan for perfecting concierge” the same day that the regional manager Ginger was visiting went over well. Still, I haven’t seen my hours increase yet, and not working at the restaurant has really cut down my cash flow. I haven’t been able to afford my drugs in the past week. This is why I’m typing a journal entry at this godforsaken hour instead of sleeping. I finally borrowed enough cash from my Mom to buy enough medicine until my paycheck arrives, but my sleep schedule has been askew for at least a week now. Now that I’ll have health insurance, life will be much easier. I can go to my doctor regularly, and buy medicine monthly instead of weekly.

My projects are going well. I’ve managed to conjure a bit more focus for my music and my martial art. If I could turn up the intensity by twenty percent and keep it there for six months, I would make some decent progress on both these fronts. Life is short…

Now I’m going to switch over to free association mode. You’ll need a LiveJournal account to see the results.
