It's been over a year since I last wrote. That should tell you how hectic that job was. Yup, was. As in, no longer. I finally couldn't take any more, no matter how much I liked my boss or the people I worked with, that job was going to kill me. I'm just glad I saw the writing on the wall and got the hell out of Dodge.
I can't even begin to accurately describe the hectic idiocy of that job, and the couple who own the place and hand down the mandates. The biggest challenge was trying to run that hotel despite the owners ludicrous demands. I hope my (former) boss muddles through until her husband gets his PCS orders and they....get the hell out of Dodge.
Anyway, my return to unemployed status gives me time to concentrate on a few things. First, my writing-and second, my weight. I did lose weight on the job, I'll say that much. But that was only because there was never time to eat! My health declined even as the weight went down. It really was a terrible situation.
I've debated back and forth on trying a new diet, or getting in touch with a surgeon to revise my gastric bypass as options. I've decided, for now at least, to go back on Atkins and see if that helps at all. I know fad diets and yada yada, bullshit, etc. but since I have a very real addiction to carbs, I am kind of hoping that if I can stick to Atkins for a while, it'll help break that addiction. I'm on day 3, as of this writing, and 2 pounds gone already. Time will tell though, I've failed nearly everything else, even surgery for God's sake.
And then the writing. I've been working on a couple of things simultaneously while going to school, and my next two classes are Spanish, and won't that be fun?! I've gotten back into my stories, with some ideas for new ones rumbling around in my head, I just need some organization to get them straight and take small bites. If I don't get overwhelmed, I could be done with more than one book in a year. Time will tell on that, too.
Next time I write here won't be another year down the road, promise!
