Okay, so the last post I wrote had something to do with a friendly place called Jail. NOT fun. That was in March, well I got released March 18th, Zing! I actually really value my experience there, it was good for me. I met a lot of good friends, including a girl named Wi-Wi, or I like to call her the predator - she is rad. Okay so since I got released I have been trying to get my life back on track, school, yoga, love, and family! Some of those things have worked out, and some haven't. I will try to start where I left off...
March 18th - Released! Started probation and when I thought my trials were over, they really just started. Jail was easy, probation and gaining back some trust is a little more complicated.
I do have my drivers license! I actually got it back before I even went to jail. I choose not to drive. I don't want to buy a car, and it's always a good excuse when I don't feel like going to meet someone. "Tracks doesn't run, it's raining, it's too far to bike!" The winter might be tough, but honestly I did it all last winter, so I'm good.
So after Jail I started working the next day. I think that I was released on a Saturday?? I will have to double check that. I was so excited to be out. Unfortunately the guy I was really stoked on, told me he had a girlfriend through texting. It was cool though, and I wish him the best. I was already single 40 days, so I was fine. Anyways, started work and had to retrain with the girl I trained to take over my position. That was tough but after a few days I was back in the flow of it. I also got a raise, and a new office! Doesn't make sense, but I'm happy. Get 3 DUI's = New office and better pay! Interesting. I am super greatful for my employer though. Insure Pro has been amazing and I will be forever in debt to them for even hiring me.
So I lived at home with the rents until I could afford to move out. That didn't happen until June 1st. My parents wanted me out, and that makes sense because I am 31 and too old to live at home. Moving was tough. Luckily my good friend Antua helped me. He was a saint and helped me move all of my storage unit and all my other crap. I have much more than I thought. I moved to the Bell Wines Apartment downtown. I finally felt home again. I love living alone and downtown. Much more accesible when I'm biking everywhere. I could do without all of the meth addicts that live next door, but hey what can you do.
I was stoked on the Bell Wines because one of my best friends lives here. Layla, she is dope. I love living by her. She is a good example for me, and a huge support. Also when I told the owner that I was a felon he was ok with that and still let me move in. It is really cute. Love my place. One bedroom, and perfect for me. The only hard thing with living downtown is that I am far away from my yoga studio and my yoga family. I have only been able to make it a few times a week if that. Everytime I show up though the whole class is so excited to see me. Marc Linton has been a huge support. Always checking up on me to make sure that I am doing okay. He was the only person that called me the day I was released! I still have the message saved on my phone! It was great.
After I got out I was able to convince my cute baby sister Aly to sign up for yoga. She had temporarily moved into my parents house as well and we were able to go to yoga everyday together. It really brought us close together. The yoga studio and family welcomed her and now she has really established a good rep there. I love being able to share my passion with someone. Unless you do it daily for a long time, it is hard to understand how important it is! It changed my life, and I hope to get back into a daily routine soon.
As for my life right now, I have a pretty tight schedule. Not a lot of room for fun, and dating, and anything else I want to do. I have three major things to focus on: Probation (priority over everything), Work, and School. I graduate from school in 11 weeks with a masters in math, I graduate from probation as soon as my dumb fine is paid off, and as soon as I can get licensed at work, I will get a raise and have more responsibilities. I love working in insurance, which sounds boring, but it is never boring. So after I get all of things done, I barely have time to do much else. I've been trying to make more time, but on the weekends I try to catch up on my sleep, cleaning, and hanging with important people in my life.
This is all I have now. I will post pictures once I get a bit more organized and actually download my pics from my camera.
