Lately, it seems like I have post brewing in my head, only to sit down to type and have nothing come out, or at least, nothing that I think anyone else wants to read.

I need to get past that and just write.

I ordered a book on Amazon the other day, an A+ certification study guide, in the hopes that I can do my homework and then take the test to get certified with my A+.

why not actually go to school? Honestly, I can't put my finger on it; I took the placement tests at Waukesha County Technical College, but never felt quite right about registering. Maybe apathy, laziness, fear...Holly has asked me what's holding me back, and I really don't know what is...

I've been looking more online for jobs, and the staffing agency I'm with for my current gig also wants to find me something.

Here's to hope...will I be able to put forth the effort I need to and I will I recognize opportunity when I see it?

catching my breath...

I feel like I've been busy busy busy lately...

July 5th saw me start a short temp gig ordering small diesel engine parts, filling in for a guy on medical leave. A former work colleague mentioned my name to his boss and contacted me to gauge my interest. Two weeks in and I've got the hang of things pretty well and have fit in with the group in my area.

Holly and I went to a midnight showing of the last Harry Potter. Oh. My. WORD! Amazing finale to the series, and this time, the crowd wasn't a bunch of nitwits.

I slept about 3 hours after the movie, went to work and survived. I really didn't caffeinate as much as I thought I was going to need to. Holly had taken the day off, and then we met up with some of her co-workers for Mexican in Oconomowoc. After dinner, a few of us headed over to a bar to shoot pool, drink beer and make fun of people from Watertown.

I was up by 8 on Saturday and felt rested. A quick run to the auto parts store and then home to do some maintenance on my car.

Holly and I ran to Goodwill to drop off some clothes, then back home to veg out. I watched the truck race from Iowa, and I'll catch up on the Brewer game soon.

This was just the kind of day I needed to recharge.
