Letting go continued...............requested

In 1996 I moved 60 miles north of Brownwood. Brownwood held nothing but horrible memories and opportunities for me to run into my dad and his wife, my ex-step family, and other people that I just didn't want anything to do with any longer.

I moved in with an old boyfriend from high school and found a job bartending at The Pub in Stephenville. I soon saved up enough money and and found my own house. Thank God for that because I don't think I could have lived one more minute with my old boyfriend with his drugs and various girlfriends coming around and stayed sane!

I took in two roommates to help pay the bills. This worked out for awhile but I soon realized I wasn't the roommate type so I moved out leaving them the house and found an apartment for me and my cat, Toonces. I had had Toonces since I was 16 years old. He was so small I could carry him in my pocket when I first brought him home and he had been the one constant thing in my life since then.

Time progressed and I saved up enough money to enroll back in college again. I worked at the bar at night, went to school all day and grew more and more tired of being broke all the time still. I soon found a way to supplement my income but it involved a few old "bad habits". Working at the bar introduced me to a city attorney, judge, and a few other lawyers and dairyment that enjoyed some "party favors" on a regular basis but because of some issues in the town we lived in they were having difficulty find "supplies". I soon began bringing their "supplies" into town on a regular basis for them and this put some nice extra money in my pocket to help pay for school without having to find a second job (because I had so much extra time to be able to work a second job......ha ha).

For a few years things went by well and I decided to try and work on some of my issues from my past. I began attending therapy with one of the best therapist I had ever worked with, but the issues were painful and difficult to face.

Fast and Furious

Wow! The last few weeks have really flown right by me. I haven't had time for anything other than work but I can't complain because that is my goal right now!
I have managed to pick up a client in the UK and so far things are working out well!
I have really enjoyed the opportunities that work have brought to me! I am really enjoying having more time to spend with family and friends!

Monday I was able to drive to Brownwood to spend the day with three of my nieces, and take along my nephew! We spent the day at the pool and had more fun! Then we went back to my mom's to have dinner and ride the horses!

With this weekend being a long weekend for most people I will have time to go visit with friends this evening that I haven't seen in months. One is in from New York so it will be really nice to catch up!

Life is really good right now and I am so thankful that things seem to be going well! I am so blessed!

I spend alot of time explaining what I do for a living but that's ok, the more people talking about it the more the word spreads and that is good!

Have a safe and happy 4th!
