While I love my new job, I am having a rough time getting used to my new schedule and it has left me with very little time to do other things I love to do......like chat with you all here at the Tribe! I know that with time, I will adjust to it. I just miss talking to you all like I used to.

It is really fun and exciting to know that I am doing what my Higher Power chose me to do. I am learning a lot of new stuff and have even more to learn. It is a challenge, but I love a good challenge.

I found out that the classes I need to take to become a Certified Addiction Counselor will cost me $30 a week when I start them. That will be down the road a ways.

Somthing else good has come up in my life. A friend of mine that lives even closer to where I now work has offered me half of his house to live in. My lease here will be up September 1st and I am weighing the pros & cons of moving into this friend's house. Just to pay the rent, lights, water, cable, car insurance and my storage rent here costs me $712 a month. That does not include groceries & gas for my car. Moving into his house would cost me $539 for the same expenses. That would be a savings of $173 a month. This would allow me to be able to afford to take the classes to become certified and eventually make a good bit more money.

This friend is someone I have known for 5 years and he works the NA steps in his life. We get along really well and he has told me I can do whatever I want in the house as far as decorating goes as long as I don't make ie too "girly" and I leave his bedroom, bathroom and computer room alone. That won't be a problem since I don't do the frilly, flowery, girly thing any way!

I'll have my own bedroom, bathroom and computer room also. So we would only really be sharing the living room, kitchen, dining room & utility room. I think this would work out to both of our advantage. He works days and I am working nights so we wouldn't even have time to get on each other's nerves.

I am going to pray about it and see where my Higher Power leads me. That has always worked before and I know it will in this situation, too.

I am going to sign off as it is time to eat some dinner, take a shower and figure out what I am going to wear to work tonight.

Sorry to hear about the schedule but it will ease up. Hope the relocation works as it sounds so good. It appears to an innocent onlooker that one door doesn't close than 398 open out to you. Whatever you are doing keep doing it. Inspirational, Lem

Things really seem to be falling into place for you :)  That's awesome.  Any transition or change takes time to adapt to.  You'll find yourself a routine you are comfortable with soon enough.  Hope you get some rest tonight.

 

Hugs,

Jenn
