I was gone for a week!
Ok, perhaps the exclamation point wasn’t needed, but, for all I know, the internet was a barren wasteland without me. Shut up. I need my delusions.
Obviously, the main reason I was gone was because of the baseball road trip with Joe. It was pretty cool. Cleveland was the nicest stay and the only game that we didn’t leave early because of rain. I’m not sure I need to talk too much about the day to day details, though, since I had the Twitter posts going the entire time I was gone.
What I would like to talk about is how my life has changed so much since we planned the trip. I wanted to go so badly because it would be a means of escaping the life I had here. I would get away for a week and none of it would follow me. Little did I know that I would find love and happiness and so much more in the time between planning and leaving on June 23rd. I actually wound up missing Melanie and home the entire time. Life is good for me, now. Sure, I’m still light years behind where I should be with my career, but as far as my personal life goes, things are very good for me and I don’t see a need in running from it, anymore. It’s a weird feeling, but I won’t complain too much.
Another reason I haven’t written much is that I’ve also been spending a lot of time with Melanie. We won’t be seeing each other today because she has family obligations, but, otherwise, we spend almost every day with each other once I get out of work. We always manage to have fun one way or another and I’m dying to be in her pool with her right now because it’s humid as hell and we have the AC off in my house.
All in all, though, things are good. I have to find a way to motivate myself more at work, though. One can only be stepped on so many times before they lose a little of the pep in their step. I’m trying my best to rectify things and get back on track to moving up, but I also want to, at least, enjoy my summer with Melanie before really buckling in and pushing it hard at work. It may not be the brightest decision for the long term, but maybe I need to enjoy the present, for once.
Excuse me if this has all been a bit scattered. I have no attention span today.
