Friday was my very last day at the old job, and I celebrated the only way I know how - lots of vodka with my favorite co-workers and an impromtu cow-grilling session at Steven’s (yummy!). It was the most incredibly joyous feeling knowing that I would never have to go back to that shit-hole ever again. Seriously. I don’t know that I can eloquently express how amazing it is to be out of there… especially after hearing what’s going down at the moment. Seems that all hell has broken loose, and there is no end in sight to 56 hour weeks until well into next summer, at the earliest. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have escaped when I did… mostly because I’m positive that the last round of changes regarding the EB process would have sent me into a fit that would have likely resulted in me being arrested for aggravated assault, and subsequently, me being fired, as well.

My new job is amazing. The people are amazing. The work is amazing. The lack of stress is amazing. It’s so chill. Everyone is so cooperative, and they all care about each other. They’ve been so great at making me feel so welcome. I’m excited to be there. So, so excited. And I’m so much happier now than I have been in the last four years, for sure. It feels amazing. (I’ve know I’ve used that adjective about 50 times in the last few sentences, but there are no other words I can use to express how I feel. Overjoyed…  or elated, perhaps. Regardless, I am simply really very happy. Very, very, very happytimesinfinity.)

I feel like I’m making positive changes in my life right now, and everything seems to be falling into place. I cut back on smoking (soon, I hope to quit entirely), and I’m watching what I eat. Next week, I’ll start exercising again. And plan out a budget. I’m really gonna try to… I dunno… grow up, I suppose. Start taking responsibility for myself and my actions. I’m have until the end of the year to get myself sorted. Just gotta get into the routine again. Stop being so self-indulgent. Cut out the excess. Focus on myself.

I’m gonna go have some bubblegum ice cream. Just a little bit. A before-bed treat, and whatnot. *looks around innocently*
