I feel like I'm not quite living on the planet along with everyone else these days. I'm daydreaming more cause they are such simple things. Instant pleasure, no complications and completely under my own control. (I can do all kinds of things with Keanu and he is quite happy about it all).
In reality... I have bills stacking up (I don't owe anything as of this month but next month they will all slide together and start attacking me). I don't have any income. Which is really bothering me as far as that whole bill paying thing.
Can you believe a Keanu Reeves movie just came on?.. Sure I'm watching the Space Station, have been most of the night. But what an odd coincidence. He always has good timing in my daydreams too.
Anyway, back to reality. I have the option (if I can figure it out) to retrain and have the course paid for. I have to figure out where the course I want to take is and how long I can manage to go back to school. Not just time and money but the fact of being back at school when I'm about to turn 44.
There's another little dose of reality, 44. Not just a double digit but repeating itself. Would be ok if it were 33, that doesn't seem so bad. I can't hide from my birthday now that it is nearly December.
I really don't like job hunting. But, there isn't another way to get another job. I really don't know how I can do another customer service job. I'm so burnt out on all of that. Just makes me cringe to think about doing all that again for another company, another location and through the Barrie winter too. Bus rides are just not that popular when the snow is up past your knees and the bus routes tend to get shut down each time it snows really hard.
In general I'm dreading having to make all these decisions. Still have the excuse of gathering the facts. But that can't go on for much longer.
Whatever happens will happen though and I will be here to see it. Sometimes you can pretend you are just on the sidelines to your own life and look at it with the nice shiny rose coloured glasses. Makes it a lot easier and saves you extra stress. I do that a lot. Keanu doesn't mind.

Things happen for a reason.
Take advantage of the retraining and do something fun!
I'm staring at 45 in less than 3 weeks, and have been working on a new venture that requires long hours with only the possibility of pay down the road, so I can relate to these feelings quite a bit ... minus the Keanu part of course :).
I find Keanu a good distraction also. And I went to college for the first time in my mid-forties. Listen to your gut and jump in with both feet!
