It’s been a minute since I have sat down and worked on a blog. It has been a few months since I have written anything, and it has been a while since I have been able to finish reading a book. Many things have been changing in my life and my head is kind of spinning from it.

I haven’t finished the book I was working on and was supposed to finish the first draft in June. I don’t remember where I left off, but I know I was not happy with where it was going. I was struggling to keep the story progressing and I was so stuck on a deadline that I had set for myself that I was refusing to go back and make things better.

I have been healing, mending, and getting back to some kind of normal in life. I was working third shift and had been working third for about 2 years. It was wearing on me mentally and I stayed stressed, depressed, and so riddled with anxiety the only thing I could do was work and sleep. I played a few games that allowed me to escape reality and I was reading a good bit. I had one foot out the door of my workplace when a new position was posted and I applied for it as a last-ditch effort to change things.

Good news is I got the job! I am now doing data analytics in a lab within the factory that I was working. I got off of the production floor and off of third shift. I even got a raise and an office! I now have two offices, one at home and one at work. Not only do I love my new job, but I love the people I work with. They are an amazing bunch of people who have not once made me feel weird about how weird I am and that menas more to me then anything else.

The problem that came with the new job was the 3 weeks I had to work 12 hour shifts for 5 days a week. It was ridiculous, but I did it, I pushed through. I’m really good at pushing through things in my life. Espcially when I can see the awesome things sitting on the other side of the mess.

I am now working on first shift, I go in at 8 am. I get an hour lunch break where I can leave and get lunch. There are just so many amazing things that came with this job. It is also a job I have always dreamed of having and I really hope I can make this job last a very long time.

The most imporant thing that has come from this new job is my sanity. I feel like a normal human being again. I have a regular sleep schedule, going to the gym, I am happier, better rested, and eating healthier. I still have a few anxiety issues that I am dealing with, but as long as I keep drinking my teas and meditating I think I will be okay. No, I know I will be okay.

My plan is to get this blog finally up and running again and really get back to writing. I am super excited to get back to my stories because I am sure that is the reason I am still dealing with a little anxiety.

So, if you have been here waiting for me to write something, or just lurking, I hope I can entertain you again. If you are new and wondering what this crazy girl is talking about, stick around and see if anything catches your attention!
