ResERECTION

I decided to discipline myself by sitting down to blow the dust off this blog of mine. It has been many months since I had successfully posted an entry. I can't use the excuse of being busy because there were times when I could have produced a word or two, but my heart just wasn't into it.

From the last time I blogged, I've dealt with moving from an apartment to a house, traveling, unreliable internet connections, a temperamental laptop, and a little bit of faithlessness in all things blog worthy (one part depression, three parts erratic sleeping schedule).

As of late, I have been suffering the wrath of impacted wisdom teeth. What a wise person would have done was to have them out years ago when the insurance was still a coverage option. Unfortunately, I don't consider myself that wise of a person when it comes to this certain situation. My insurance came to an abrupt end last winter thanks to my previous employer pulling the rug out from under my laid off ass. A big "thanks to you"... you measly corporate fucks. Regardless, that is all water under the bridge so now I am having to deal with the UCLA School Of Dentistry. For a small fee, of course.

I do have to admit the past couple of years have been great. After I got laid off from work back in San Diego, I decided to take a sabbatical and withdraw from all things associated with work. But now I find myself going stir crazy. I'm actually craving the pros of working - which are, in my opinion, things like the social interaction (if any), the feeling of responsibility, and the steady paycheck. Although, the steady paycheck part is not quite secure these days.

I don't regret not finding a job the minute I landed in Los Angeles, but looking back on that now, it would have been nice to have had some funds rolling in on a regular basis over the past year.

Regardless of all of that, life had been chugging along quite ferociously as I was spending my time between Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Tucson. It had seemed that traveling had officially become my middle name. I felt like a nomad even tho I had a secure place I was calling home. And my home is finally Los Angeles.
