Where you at?

Soooo I started this blog in July. I guess I should check in on what progress has been made toward my hopes & goals. I have learned that the last 6 directly rely on whether or not I am able to attain the first. I'm sad to admit that money or rather the lack thereof affects my ability to achieve everything I say I want. It's sad but true.

So, where am I at?

Financial Recovery
Well, it seems as if I am on the brink of a breakthrough. It is possible that some financing might come through to guarantee 6 months worth of capital for my boss. If that happens he can pretty much guarantee my salary for that long. I'm hoping that will include a significant increase - enough to get me straight. Enough to get me healthy so I can make the most of my health insurance before I quit/so I can quit the grocery job.

I'm standing on the edge of everything I've been working for wondering if I'm going to make it. Wondering if it's really going to happen this time. I am hopeful but I'm tired too. I feel like I've almost reached an ellusive mirage I've been chasing for over a year. Visual illusion or true salvation? A few more weeks will tell the tale.

Write Something Everyday
Not quite making this one. Just too tired. My weeks are bookended with 12 hour days - Mondays & Fridays. I work til 10 most Saturdays & have worked several Sundays in recent weeks - Round and round we go. I don't have the creative energy to produce daily. But it is more than it was and at least I'm conscious of it now. Improvement.

Better Nutrition
This pretty much tanked when I had to stop buying groceries to save up for the dentist. Emergency Root Canal...whoohooo. Brought my Feel Better Food search to a screeching halt. My hair is still falling out like crazy. I spent 2 weeks doing Acai nearly every day and that pulled me out of a lupus spiral. I'm getting the benefit of it this week. Tapped my already stretched finances but it was either that or crash & burn.

Work Out Plan
Got my MP3 player charged up and I've downloaded several of the messages I've missed in recent weeks. This is some motivation to make it outdoors. Now all I need is for time and energy to collide on the same day and I'll be in business.

Weight Loss
Feels like I've finally lost a pinch. Not much. Just a bit more room in the pants. I'm sure the liquid diet of Acai I had going on last week was helpful. When my finances improve I'll be able to take a better crack at this one.

Finish the Novel
I did get a bit of inspiration last week. I kept stalling out because the plot was weak and the characters were too squeaky. I may have found a way to round out my main character's motivation. A bit of art imitating life - and since the life I'll be borrowing won't be my own I need to be incredibly tactful. Work.

Getting Out There
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa Nunca.
