Getting Straight

As of October, I had lost my job.  It is alright since I believe that things will be better in the future.  I will continue to search out a better life than I had and hope that whatever I do choose in the future is the right path.

I am beginning to clear out my world and my life so that I can once again be who I really need to be...myself.

I have to search for a new job, but I am looking forward to it, but until then, I must keep the faith.

I will be writing more in the near future!

Changes Coming

I begin the new changes tomorrow morning.  I am looking forward to this, and I know I will have some difficulty in doing some of it, but I know it will take time to do.

I will begin with the things that are important to myself personally...getting rid of the damage done by the sun and my pores. I am tired of looking at that in the mirror.  I am using Clinique's skin care line.

I am also going to concentrate on my teeth, making sure that they get healthier so that I will be confindent when I get my dental work done that I won't screw up this time.

The next phase will be to get my hair back to its normal shine and vitality.  I sweat at work and that does some damage to my hair also.  I want to get rid of the dullness, so I have stuff to use that is cheaper but effective and something I always used, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle three days a week, and their shampoos and conditioners.  I love this as much as the Clinique because it works very well.  

I will also be using Sally Hansen's products to grow and strengthen my nails and her cuticle massage cream to condition my cuticles so they aren't so ragged.  I am also using Cortizone for my psoriasis (ears and left hand), and Avon's Silicone Glove to soften and moisturize my hands to make them look better.

This will be my morning and evening routines when I get up and when I go to bed at night.  Once the routines for this are established, I think I will be alright. The stuff I am doing and using are things I have used in the past and I am comfortable with, so all should be well on that front along with my normal everyday body wash and using.

All of my bills are caught up, so I only need to get myself on a bill paying schedule that is organized and keep the electric bill down to a manageable size through the winter.  I think I can do that. It will just take a little effort to make all of this happen.

The next steps to take will be to read the books on self improvement.  I did start Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, but had put it down for some unknown reason, but I plan to pick it up and read it this week.  I also have a few other books that are self improvement based that will help me as well...I think I have one on positive assertiveness that should work fine.

I am not sure how I wish to take the spiritual journey, but I have some ideas including devotionals that should help.

I do need to finish cleaning my home and getting things ready for my daily routines that start tomorrow morning.  It is not a hugely daunting task, but I just need to get into a routine there too so it won't be so bad.

I will also find time to write.  This is my true desire in life.  I want to become a writer and to do that I must WRITE as I have stated before.  I am going to start by practicing, but I need to get into that habit first.

Wish me luck...

Karma Is My Friend

I got my new phone!!

I love it so far, but figuring it out is taking a lot of time!  It is all touch screen, and I am not used to that, I used to have a flip style phone that opened up to a keyboard...now I have to rotate the phone to get the keyboard to be normal for me.  You should see the typos!  Oh my!

I am still getting my apps in, but I will have them soon enough.  

I have somehow managed to snag a three day weekend for Labor Day.  I don't know how that happened, but I am not complaining and I will take advantage of it to the fullest!

The woman at work who thought she could bully me has finally found out how Karma works...she has hit rock bottom...unfortunately, we all knew what the root of all of her problems were:  alcohol.

She is getting help now.  For how long, we don't know, but her family has finally agreed to help her temporarily with her financial situation in exchange for her getting help with alcohol...I know what it is like to be that close to alcoholism, so I am cutting her a lot of slack this week when the personality disorder hits.  I will wish her luck and hope she takes advantage of this, but I am not getting involved with the situation.  

Either way, Karma showed her what she needed to do to change her situations and improve herself.  She will find soon that once she starts on her path and fixes all that she has broken she will have a better and fuller life.  I will still protect myself from her and those at work who are the same way, but I will not go any further than that.

I am planning changes in my own life for next week...they will begin Sunday.  I will blog about them soon.
