Let me play catch up...
Well, I have fallen behind. Big shock. Actually, I kinda feel oppressed by that thought. I don’t like falling behind, whether it is in my reading, catching up on books, writing on here or just around work and the house (on occasion). But I can officially say that I have fallen behind. Not a good thought.
I was talking to Bri on the way home from Raleigh the other night and was discussing how I needed to work on some updates…but couldn’t remember what postings those were anymore. See, I really need to start writing down all my ideas. But let me see what I can do for a little recap of my weekend.
Overall, it went pretty well. Dealt with my parents for a bit and got the new car. Looks pretty good for a used vehicle, a lot more power than the old one. Haven’t been used to that in a long time. So now I need to wax and buff, get some paint to cover some areas knocked out from the previous owner, and look into a CD changer and a radar detector. Lord knows that I have a habit of speed. The rest of the weekend went pretty well, considering some emotional glitches.
Took a trip up to Maggie Valley and Cherokee; my first time to that area. Wasn’t too bad. Picked up some onyx stonework, but then got upset when I returned to find my carved turtle broken. It was the only one I was able to find in, or nearest to, the red stone I collected. Now just to find places to actually display this stuff. I have told myself I am not allowed to buy anymore until March.
Speaking of which, I have decided to remain here in Wilmington for a bit. My supervisor keeps hinting at something, so we will have to see what happens as time goes on. I know that if things don’t change, I am going to look into relocating to a new department, and also start looking into going back to school. Although, I really have no clue how I am going to manage that one. I need to be able to work full time here, and school will only be part time for a while, I guess. But that is a problem to be solved when the seemingly fragile wooden bridge is reached.
I know that one thing I am going to post is another discussion on AIDS. Yes, I know, I talk about it a lot, but it has a place close to my heart. Tomorrow, December 1st, is World AIDS Day and I will be showing my rememberance. Hopefully you will too. Each year has a theme; this year’s has become “Stop AIDS: Keep the Promise.” Unfortunately, I don’t think our country can claim that they have done much of anything that rivaled on past times, after Regan finally admitted to AIDS being a problem that needed to be faced. But I will have more about that later. But I would like to point out that I have added a new link to my partners. He is a newcomer to this area, but if you ever want to check him out, feel free to read PozWarrior and the blog that he also shares with his brother. Many of us know of people who are dealing with HIV, but not many can say that they actually know the lives. Perhaps if more people came to the forefront to share their experiences, then there would be a greater understanding.
Have a good day, it is Hump Day and hopefully only two more days of work for most people. Oh…and only 26 days until Christmas and the start of Chanukah.
