So, now that I am not working 12 hour days, and now that I have caught up with my studies, I have a little bit of time to myself. At first I had issue with that. Now, I am beginning to love it again. I am not very good at doing nothing unless it is a purposeful doing nothing. Sounds like that o- moron word doesn't it? Hell it makes sense to me and I am going with that. I am taking the time to tackle a project that goes hand in hand with my education (both formal and informal)and my passions.
Many of my friends and aquaintances share these passions with me and I am hoping that you will join me on the path.
Until the kick off..... just remember www.bohemian-lifestyles.blogspot.com
is coming soon!

Been a while
It has been a while since my last post. What has happened? So much. Internally. Externally. What's up? The price of fuel, the price of groceries. Not the American dollar that's for damn sure.
Yeah I am talking like a pissed off old person. How's tha song go? If you're not pissed you're not paying attention.
Wake up America!!!

Acceptance
I am recovering from the mother of colds. I have not been this sick since the Beijing flu knocked my ass down in the late 90's. I'm going with my house mates theory...I handle nasty money so i got more than one bug at once.Hell. I got them all. I going with that. have too. it's either that or accept that I might be a wimpass.
I recently was talking about the fact that I had come to terms with my madness with so folk in my coven. One member jokingly asked if I could help her come to term with hers. Even though she was kidding, the comment started me on this whole acceptance tangent. Acceptance is an amazing thing. My relationship with Evil improved by leaps and bounds when I decided that I could accept him for the person that he is. Not that the relationship was ever bad---it just got better when I let go of my expectations.
Coming to terms with my madness... was based on the same theory of acceptance. There are things about me that I like. There are things about me that I don't like but those things are not going to change--- they are hard wired into the person that is me so I might as well accept that I am a fruitcake and enjoy life.
aaaaahhhh acceptance. Such a beautiful thing.
ahhhhh green snot. so disgusting.
I had to tell you about that.
Maybe u would be so grossed out u would have to snicker.

sick
now you would have to know that I would get sick during the 2nd week on the job. One girl was sick last week and the rest of us came in on Monday snottin' and coughin' everywhere. I am home today. Got the eucalyptus and rosemary simmering, soup going that is overloaded with garlic and onions. I must not forget the herbal tea laced with honey and lemon. I will get better and back to work tomorrow Damnit!

Dog Spooning
so my fat happy ass is off to do employement testing today and again tomorrow. Luckily for one of the positions, the interview part is already over with. Testing no problem. Interview big problem. It requires that I willingly walk into a situation allowing people to judge everything about me. Blech!
I am also looking for a local driving job for Evil. His 1 year of OTR will be up in February which means he will be eligible for local driving jobs. It will be long hours but atleast he can lay his head on the pillow next to mine every night and we won't be spooning our dogs anymore :O)
sooooo I have had a 4 month voluntary break from employment and general life stress. This has been such a positive experience. I have learned what it is like to feel good. I have learned what my body feels like when I am relaxed. Now I have a reference point to return to when life and work stress starts getting to me. Now I know the difference between stressed and relaxed.
Sometimes I wonder how I have managed to live this long. I think I have not known the feeling of relaxation since about age 6. Even when doing nothing, I was always on alert waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting to make the choice between fighting or fleeing. It is nice to not be waiting anymore. It is nice to have the confidence of knowing that if need be, I can make the decision in less than a second.
I think we all need to take a break from life sometimes. Remove ourselves from work, family, friends, and situations that fuck our heads up. It is healing to drop out of the world and into ourselves. Most folks probably don't need to take a 4 month break but a break is still good. We all deserve one.
Peace,
Iz
