The truth as we know it

I have no exciting little headline to write here

So, the past weekend has been pretty uneventful. Since I wrote my last blog, I've pretty much been sitting around the house, cleaning, laundry, that kinda thing. I've hit a low spot. Maybe I oughta be more sure to take my medication regularly. Anyhow... Cleaning my room has been interesting to say the least. And in the mood that I'm in, going thru that stuff doesn't really help. I have these shoe boxes under my bed full of stuff I want to remember. There's several "Logan boxes," an ex-boyfriend box, a Patrick box (cause lets face it, that relationship lasted just about as long as the others combined, if not more). I found a box full of things from my second summer as a counselor. The summer they started calling me Snow White as a joke. Little notes from my campers, awards from them, etc. Then, I found a pile of posters from when I ran for French Club President, along with a card that I had gotten for Valentine's day one year. It's one of those giant poster sized cards. Its nice to remember times like that. I mean, I'm glad to be where I am now, but there are a lot of things I miss about those days.
We're trying to rearrange my room, fit two queen sized beds in it. The water bed and the regular bed. Plus my other furniture: a desk, a dresser, a bookshelf, and now my mom wants to put a sofa in there too. I'm not much help in this area, cause even though its very likely that I'm healed and we're just waiting for the CT Scan for confirmation, I haven't used those muscles in so long, it hurts like hell to try. Gotta start that PT soon. Anyhow. I love you all, and I miss seeing everyone. Maybe I'll see some people at Full Moon tonight...? Later.

Where do I begin....

So, its been roughly, forever, since I've written a blog. I have been doing the 9 to 5 thing, or, in my case, the 8 to 4:30 thing. Plus camp during the summer. Which was AWESOME. I loved being Asst CIT Director. Just made me more sure that I want to be there for a very long time (15 years next summer). I loved working with those people. And being on Admin was so much fun. I am so lucky to have 2 jobs where I have such great bosses and work with people I care about so much. Plus I work with one of my best friends, and I have a little niece on the way and get to be around for that more than I would be otherwise.
My life has changed a lot in the past 9 months or so (since the wreck, Nov 3). But I really think its for the better. The one thing I wish I didn't have to "leave behind" is my team. I loved rowing, and I miss it so much. But right now I'm focusing on work, school (physical therapy is the latest and hopefully final major), paying for the car i hope to get soon, and taking car of my puppy. He is the cutest thing ever! His name is Chiquito. I'll try to find a picture of a dog that looks like him. This is the best I can do. He's 4 and a half months old, black and white, and my little baby. I'm completely enamored with the puppy, its pathetic. Anyway.
I'm pretty proud of myself right now, I feel like my life is moving in the right direction, and I'm trying my best to grow up, seeing that I'm gonna be 22 soon. What I do find sad is how I'm trying so hard to shape up and mature, and yet I can see other people who are staying where they are.... When they need so badly to get past the stage they're at, cause they've been there forever. And, its not like I can say anything to them about it. Thats just petty on my part. Life just changes once you get into college, into your 20s, out of college. You get to a point when you realize, its time to move on, grow up, and realize you can't just get by anymore. Its time to take life into your own hands and know that know one is gonna hold your hand and get you through it, and you can't just ignore it by pretending that you're still 18... But I digress...
Anyway, life's going good. My email has changed: MarniTanya@gbronline.com
Hope the summer has treated everyone well, and that I talk to you all soon.
HAPPY MARNI DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
