Catch-up

Hello Pet,


So much has happened since I've last posted, but I'll try to summarize for you.

Christmas? Has come and gone. New Years too.

I've dealt with my addiction to shopping and I feel much more free. In fact, I've even reverted back to avoiding clothing shopping.

Clothing Shopping I say, for House shopping is still on my brain.

My sister moved out last year, bought her own house, so now it seems much more possible, to have a house of my own.

I take my independence as I see it, I'm free from tie-downs.

I'm now certified as an interpreter, I'm starting my career. The world is wide open... and I'm unhindered.
It's a good feeling, and a scary feeling. I am doing pretty flexible work, which is nice, to be sure, but it's also frightening because I don't know what I'll be doing 6 months from now. Still working, yes, but will I have the job I want? Will I be able to tie myself down to a school interpreting job like I want?

Everything is open.

I'm also trying to figure out my personal life.
I'm unattached and most days I'm perfectly at ease with this, but then I'll see someone who peaks my interest and I start to long for what I'm missing.

My sister is terribly stubborn and strong. She's given me strength and someone to look up to, because she's single, self supporting, a home owner, and really has her act together on all accounts. I'm going to be like her.

And really, I'm not ever alone.
I have my family, and I have God.
