a needed change.

Well my blog has pretty much sucked lately, hasn't it?

Actually don't answer that. I can get kind of sensitive about my blog.


The truth is, I've been in a funk lately. It happens from time to time. It must have something to do with being human.

I don't know how it is for you, but when I'm in a funk, I get all serious. Then my posts become all serious and deep and boring.

I think I'm now over my funk.

So now I can tell you what has been going on without all the serious, deep, boring details.

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I needed to make a change in my life. That change being a new job.

I was working from home doing the same job I had before moving to Thermopolis.

I thought working from home was going to be awesome. It was at first, but then it wasn't anymore.

It got lonely.

If I had kids and had someone else in the house to keep me company (or occupy my time), that would be one thing. But seeing as I don't have kids, I was stuck in the house all alone day after day after day.

For some that is probably great. Not for me. Even though I'm a home-body and I like my peace and quiet, I don't like to feel lonely.

I was feeling isolated.

There were other reasons besides just the loneliness factor. I won't go into details with all of that stuff (you could go without all that ranting), but point is, I knew it was time for me to change things.

I decided I needed to venture out and get more involved within the community.

I started looking in the local paper, I saw an ad for a job that seemed like it would suit me well, I applied, and a couple days later, I was setting up my new office.

I knew this was a good thing for me. I felt different pretty much immediately. I wasn't feeling anxious or overwhelmed anymore. Instead, I was feeling a great sense of relief. I knew I made the right decision.

Of course, the whole early morning thing has taken some getting use to...now I have to actually get up and get ready. This includes make-up, which as of late, has been a rare morning occurrence for me.

It feels good though. I feel productive. My energy levels are back up. I'm meeting new people.

I'm out of that damn funk and feeling happy again.


Things are looking up.
