Long Overdue Update

It's been almost 2 months since I've blogged here last. I have a tumblr too now so I've been on there because it is easier than blogspot. But in my two-month retrospective thought: I really do not spend a lot of time online unless it is looking at stuff for work. So I will give a quick update on the past few months of my life.

August:

I really started getting into work and traveling to see clients. I meet some of the most interesting and heartbreaking people. Also, some sneaky and pretty selfish people too. I guess you win some and lose some. I got peed on, spit on, and kicked all at work one day - and I still had to drive 2 hours home after the peeing episode. Needless to say, that was not a good day for me.

I started physical therapy. My body hated me for it. Something needed to change because I wanted - no needed - to start feeling better.

I've gotten to reconnect and hang with some people from high school and from Wartburg. That's been good and much needed. I've been spending time with my grandparents and this has been good for me. I really enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories. Plus, my grandpa has been helping me fix my car. It feels good to put some sweat equity into my car and reap the benefits.

I had a Scentsy party. It was a hit. I made bank in free items. Honestly, I am quite the salesperson when I want to be. It's all about reading people.

I've seen a plethora (well, not really) of movies lately: Salt, Ramona & Beezus, Despicable Me, and Eat Pray Love. Eat Pray Love really made me want to travel the world again. I will again - soon. You can count on that.

September:

I'm still trying to balance work and having a social life, which is/can be hard because I live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. I've gotten to see some more friends.

My body is getting better and not hating me so much for pt.

I've been spending some time just doing what I want to do: reading (started Eat Pray Love [It's superior to the film] and heaps of other novels), painting, napping, and whatnot. I make a point to treat myself to Panera once a week - simply because I love it and want to.

I've decided to actively take up playing the guitar so I set up private lessons. I was so proud of myself for taking the initiative to admit that's what I want to do and to go through with setting it up. It's gonna be hard, but amazing too. I can feel it already.

That's all for now.

Until I write again,

Hilary
