• Got sick this weekend. No going out. No clubbing...no santa monica blvd....nada...not even work on sunday. I stayed home and rested...slept a lot...studied a bit.

  
  

  Today was filled with randomness. I actually evaluated 3 clients today. This definitely was a test....it's hard to hide feelings/thoughts -- especially when you hear people who have been abusive to others. It was definitely difficult not to judge a person because of it. If there's one thing I truly can't tolerate (besides deception)...it is abuse. Of course I was glad they were seeking help and counseling. One cannot improve their lives without wanting to see it from a different perspective. The other client was so young it was a bit sad. Then again I always get sad when I see young ones (well..anyone actually) suffering from major depression --> so much so that they start cutting themselves. She was lucky though, she had friends and family that were very supportive of her. It's very important to have that.

  
  

  I'm finally seeing the payoff! It's taken almost two months but I'm starting to see some cash flow coming this month (smiles). Granted I've paid the price of not having much of a social life and lacking sleep...but at least I've gotten rid of the stressors of being in knee-high deep in debt. But the holiday season's coming...now time for shopping.

  
  

  You know what?  I know I'm very fortunate...and I actually have a lot in life. Great friends, wonderful family, awesome apartment and roommates...I have two great jobs (and heck, if I were to have just one, I'd still be financially good --> but i'd have to extend my retirement age further than 50 y.o.)...I do have a lot in life. I am very fortunate...and very greatful...and it's taken a few lessons to get me to where I am today. Choose your friends wisely. Surround yourself with people you aspire to be or respect. Pride is healthy but too much pride is dangerous. I've become very much like my mother. It's rather funny because I never thought I'd follow in her footsteps. But I have. The only difference is I'm able to admit to my faults/errors (I think that's the libra side of me). Anyway, I was getting really antsy and felt like I didn't have much in life...but when I truly sit down and write what I have and what my goals are....I know i'm not too far from them. The only thing I'm lacking at this time is having someone to share my life with. I think it would be nice to have a S.O. travel around the world with me. It'd be nice to have those weekend excursions...If I had someone, I probably wouldn't be working as much --> maybe that's why I'm such a workaholic....work keeps me busy.

  
  

  So I have a hookup for Vegas....I have a friend that DJ's for several clubs in Vegas...he can hook it up the VIP anytime I'm there....that's always a plus. I'm still debating about buying a house there....Mr. C just hired someone to custom built his house in Pheonix, AZ. My coworker has a house in AZ too and she said I should seriously think of getting one there....but I'm waiting....hopefully next year I'll have a house somewhere and finally call myself a homeowner   I really liked Colorado....but who knows...maybe I'll just end up buying a home here in Cali....I gotta do a lot of praying...and hope for some guidance to come my way.

  
  

  Aight, I better get to studying. Midterm at 8am.....then off to see K. Yes...he won some brownie points this weekend...I think we're going to go catch a movie...that puppet one since I heard it was funny....

  
  

  Oh yeah...let me just add one more too...I'm too old to be going to the clubs...bars are okay...but club promotions...just makes me feel sooo old.
