Potpurri of information

Today I got up and sat in bed for a little bit. I never do that. I just usually just lay until guilt fills my gut or I just get right up running because I am late. I didn't have to go to work until 1130 this am. It was 7am. I had an odd feeling. Unexplainable. Not depressing or not exciting either. just felt like something wasn't right, but couldn't figure out what. Maybe I won't figure it out, so I will just stop thinking about it.
I am at work right now. Not very thrilled about it either. The summer arts festival is going on downtown right now. I really wanted to go. But it is raining outside, so maybe that is a good thing that I am not there. The festival goes on til tomorrow, so maybe I will swing by tomorrow.
Also tonight, my friends Marv and Chris are having an outdoor movie night, double feature. Good times for drinking and eating and laughing. But I quit alcohol for 10 weeks (9 more to go). So maybe that is a good thing that I am not attending. Why did I quit alcohol you may ask? Well, let me tell you... I don't know. I just sat on my desk the other day and decided to quit alcohol for ten weeks. It is not like I drink a lot. I just figured that if I quit my occasional beer and cocktails I might be saving my body from some calories. We'll see how long this will last.
I got back from a great vacation in Boston two weeks ago, did some heavy drinking there with friends as well, so maybe that's another reason why I decided to take a break. I am still on vacation mode. My energy levels have decreased in a very noticeable progressive manner. I just need a booster to keep going, just need to figure out what.
I saw the "ex" two weeks ago. I am proud to announce that I finally have closure. It only took 16 months, but it got done. I do now know why we are not together anymore. I finally accepted that some things were just not meant to be. That was us. No harmful feelings. Time to move on.

Chachi and Sherman

Their Kennel stay was more than my airplane ticket to Boston.

Some of their shirts are more expensive than mine.

Cleaning the carpets from their stains results more expensive than my monthly car note.

The noise pollution is irreversible.

Their constant licking has annoyed several people.

Anal glands need to be emptied once a month.

But, oh what a joy they are...

Life now.

Well, I am still on vacation mode. Got back almost a week ago from spending a few days in Boston with some good friends of mine. Sure had a good time. I miss them and I miss big cities.
I also miss the no bullshit attitude that Boston owns, although some people might conceive that as assholey. Boston is full of pretty and fit people. Mainly because they walk, unlike here in Omaha, where we are so depending of our motor vehicles.
I am working on my MRI license, it's a post primary certification, meaning that it is in addition to my diagnostic radiology one. I am waiting to take my boards after my birthday in August, so it will start on my new continuing education cycle and get credit for it. I can't wait to get this over with. Just having it will be a key to open doors in different cities when I decide to get out of Omaha, which still in the planning. Although it is my eternal individual mental debate... I am bad a making such decisions... As stated in previous blogs, I love my jobs here, I own an affordable house, I have a small but close circle of friends in town, and it is a very easy city to get around in.
On the flip side, I can't stand the gossip, the close mindness that the midwestern owns, the fact that I can't fly home on a direct flight, and the very minimal dating opportunities. I like to think that I am not complelety desperate, but I have been single for a year and a half now and it is time to move on, right? At any rate, this license will be able to get me a job anywhere.
I am getting tired, not sure why. I've been working 64+hr weeks for the last two years. What started as a plan to save some money for the house turned out to be a lifestyle. It hasn't been bad during the winter months, but during the summer I feel a bit restrained from the outdoors when I have to be inside taking care of people. On that note... when can I find someone who will take care of me? I have enjoyed my solitude, but I am ready for company. And I know it will come when I least expect it, so I better just chill out.
The house is looking good. I had some landscaping work done on the backyard and on the side of the house. Sunflowers are growing like muscles on steroids and the stargazer oriental lillies bloomed. It looks great. I am having ADT install the security system in the house this weekend.
Besides securing my home, it will decrease my homeowners insurance policy.
My sister moved to Minneapolis. I am glad she is closer. She recently got married to a great guy. I had the pleasure to have dinner with them last week on my way back from Boston. I wish them the best of the best. I will see them again next month when I drive up there for a few days.
Who knows, maybe I'd move there to be closer to her.
Okay, I just had to ramble randomly about what is going on nowadays.
I should write in here more often and stop being so addicted to myspace.
