Picking up My Journal Again

It has been many months since I have written or even visited this page. So much has happened since then. I finished the computer and career development classes in October. My sister arrived just before Thanksgiving. This is the first holiday season that we have all been together in 5 years. Now that my sister and brother-in-law are now completely relocated, we can look forward to more. This season we all lived together in the same house through the whole holiday season. That will certainly not happen again in a very long time, perhaps never. It went smoothly for the most part and it is so good to be together as a family. I continued serious job searching throughout the holiday season. In January I started a full time job at a customer service call center. There were 5 weeks of training and now I have completed 3 weeks on the phones after training. It has been a challenge. I’m still learning a lot, but am starting to feel more comfortable. I need to get a bit faster and multitask better. My sister, brother-in-law and my mother have all gotten full time jobs as well. Now everyone is so busy. Today is my day off. I work Tuesday through Saturday.  I am going to church and then straight to the Seattle Opera to see Cosi Fan Tutti. Mom and I have season tickets. I just renewed for next year last week. It will be a very exciting season- La Boheme, Der Rosencavalier, and Don Giovanni are the main attractions. This is just a short update because I have been starting to miss writing and having a little homestead of my own in cyberspace. I don’t honestly know how often I will keep up with updates. I’m still experiencing time management issues with my full-time schedule. Taking it one day at a time…
