wow, just realizing what the past year has brought for me. I was about 4 months into a new job, with my step-father retiring and my mom getting bi-lateral (both) knee replacement surgery. it was also the time I felt I needed to move to my own apartment. so in one week's time, there was the retirement, surgery, my mom being discharged and me moving...

my boss told me the other day I should do something nice for someone else (long story) to get good karma.

if I believed in karma, I should have good karma for years. I spent 2+ years as an investigator for Child Protective Services.

but still no good karma....ehh, whatever.

today, my cousin said she got fired, has disappeared, and probably won't see her again. my...

so tomorrow starts a week of vacation for me....or as I should put it, a "stay-cation." the only thing I have planned for leaving is an Alice in Chains concert on Friday.

Tomorrow I'm organizing my Heroclix collection, so I can get doubles in a box and everything. my cousin orders the product through his comic book store, and we have some new kids learning...

After about a month, finally went through and put everything in my "checkbook"....I use an app on my phone, so I can enter the information and go from there. thankfully everything lined up and I didn't overdraw or anything.

cousin's girlfriend is planning on fixing me up with her old boss.....fuck, its been 10+ years of being single. this could be interesting. so we're meeting in 2 weeks at a Geeks Who Drink event.
