I meant to be in bed by now.

I'm going to make this first post simple. My best friend pushed/encouraged me to start a blog to chronicle the massive "changes" going on in my life right now. Let's see if I can run through a quick timeline:

Dec '11: you're gonna lose your job! Merry Christmas! Oh, house furnace dies for $5k. 

Jan '12: Start lessons in Krav Maga (Israeli art of street fighting)

Feb '12: Start learning Hebrew. Decide to master Arabic and Farsi (Persian), two of the CIA's top desired languages, when you finish Hebrew.

Mar '12: decide to go back to school to earn BS in Justice Studies w/ concentration in Terrorism & Homeland Security. Begin fun process of navigating lots of red tape.

Apr '12: last month at company where you've spent the last 7+ years of your life. Spend copious amounts of time holed up in bedroom, splitting time between bed and sewing table

May '12: travel to Philly, Charleston, Toronto... 

June '12: ...Rochester, Louisville, and park it in Cincinnati for a few weeks for a consulting gig, collecting an actual paycheck instead of unemployment. Get awarded no financial aid because you make too much money, even without a job, so supplement some of those classes with more economical community college classes. Bump school start date from June to September. Whee!

Coming up:

Jul '12 - Aug '12: Summer in Charleston!

Aug '12: time in NYC and Philly

Sep '12: back to NH to start school and work (of some kind). 

I hope that answers some things for now. In case you're wondering why I'm a lucky bug, listen to the following. :3 Hopefully by God's hand I will continue to avoid windshields. Unlike the poor duck who smashed mine in the rain driving through upstate New York last month. Thank you for caring enough about what's going on in my crazy life to read this. I'll do my best to keep it updated, and feel free to troll or leave comments. Shalom!
