House projects

Been working outdoor most of the last couple weeks helping Mitch fix up both his house, and Lillians.

I really like working with Mitch. He's been a lifesaver, and probably over the years he's been one of my best friends. Hope we can complete fixing up his 4 plex this week and help him sell that property.

Other than that... I am sometimes posting knee jerk reactions to my readjustment. Sorry if I come off harsh at times. I am just not always in the best of moods when I write on my blog.

Fall days

Things are strange when you first return home after being gone a while.

I think I expected everything to be like it was when I left for Vanuatu but things have changed, I have changed. I think I need to let that go, the season of fall is an ironic time to return symbolic of letting the old me, my way of thinking fade and start a new chapter.

week 7-10: Time slipped

week 7   Sept 28-Oct 4 - slow week
week 8   Oct 5-11 - more of the same
week 9   Oct 12-18 - same same same...
week 10 Oct 19-25 blah... but i got to visit a friend in Eau Claire... that was fun.

The good news is that I think I am close to landing a job... that is the first step in my recovery process.

1) Job
2) car
3) home
4) live again

Lets hope that maybe someone will want to hangout with a returned peace corps vol in the near future ... betting that once I am working, have money, a car and a cool place... I am sure things will improve.

That is the funny thing about serving... you leave for a bit and most people forget about you, so you start over. Friendships in the USA a lot of them are not so deep. Lesson learned.

Woohoo... Landed the job. Soon I can start making my life matter again in the states.
