Hello 2012. Thank goodness 2011 is over.
Don't get me wrong, there's been a good amount of highlights, but most of the low points have been pretty soupy and long lasting. Let's break it down:
The good: moved out of our crappy Inglewood adjacent apartment (although I miss the huge living room and master bedroom, and do NOT miss the tiptoe-ing around after 10pm because of our angry downstairs neighbor), and into a nicer, albeit smaller apartment in Burbank. Took a few out of town trips here and there (NYC, multiple Vegas trips, Beach house trips), got Miles, our adorable rescue retriever-mix in August, and generally have had a great time with my husband for the day to day. I don't feel much emotional stress (aside from interpersonal job related things), and have learned a lot of things about myself, cooking, and the world.
The bad: My job - anyone who knows me, knows the issues I have, but here are a few: where I have many responsibilities with barbs, NO SICK DAYS, (PTO hours which I have to earn are my "sick" days, but really if I take a sick day, it's like I'm using a vacation day), until most recently had to PAY FOR PARKING... I need more creativity, more fulfilling responsibility and projects, to expand my brain and its' limitations. Oh, and health - really need to concentrate on that more as well, as I've been using unhappiness at job as too much of an excuse. And really, it's not the job's fault, it's MY fault for leaving it so long to fester.
So, this is the year of getting it together. To making the choices that improve myself and my life, because no one else is going to do it for me. I have made a recent stride that I am fairly excited about so more on that later, but for now, onwards and upwards!
Oh, also, wanted to post more on this blog, and my food blog. That should probably happen, too.
