I'm halfway there...

Greetings, friends! I'm driving across country finally and I'm about halfway there. My back is killing me!
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been packing and getting ready so I didn't have any time to write. I also had the added tasks of a project and 2 finals. I finished on Thursday and left on Friday. I spent the first night in Alabama with the kids, the second night in Shreveport, LA and tonight I'm In Amarillo, TX. Tomorrow I'll get up and head to Flagstaff, AZ. I should arrive in CA on Tuesday and I'm headed up the mountain on Wednesday for work!
It's been an emotional rollercoaster to say the least.. I had someone step in and out of my life right before I left I guess just to stir the pot. He threw me off course for a couple of weeks now. He's the definition of passive aggressive. He contacts me, tells me how he felt about me and then fell off the face of the earth again. I've pretty much had enough. I care about him but I'm just going to have to ignore him. He's not in a good place and he brought me down with him. I cannot have that. I have far too much to conquer over the next few months. I am finally getting my mind to a point where I feel like I want to date again but it just wouldn't be fair while I'm all over the country. It's almost time to work on my brand.
Happy thoughts! Cheers, y'all!!!

Soon, very soon

I'm a transitioning veteran, student, mom etc., I'm down to my last two terms in school before I graduate and I'm really burned out now. I hate every morning waking up knowing there's nothing I really look forward to. I recently retired, but I left my full-time position 2 years ago this coming July to obtain my culinary degree and now that I have that, I'm working on my entrepreneurship degree. I hope to buy a food truck some time in the near future. Honestly, I don't even want to think about it right now. This blog will serve as a virtual diary/journal in the meantime.

In just a couple of weeks, I'll be headed west to California for a cook position I applied for at a rustic resort in the Sequoia National Forest. I'm really excited about a change and meeting new people. I'm a little scared and nervous just because it's different and a general fear of the unknown. I felt the need to escape from the east coast and see what I can make happen somewhere else. Sometimes, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I really don't know where I want to be or exactly what I want to do. I really want to take this time to soul search and be around a new group of people in a new environment. I feel like the energy in a new place is what I need and will breathe new life into the hum drum day to day that I'm in now. I'll leave it at that for right now. It's getting late and my brain is turning to mush.
