Today was a good day. Just got Comcast set up in my little apartment. I now feel like an official member of society, lol. I'm sitting here just thinking about where I was this time last year and it blows my mind. I was in Cambridge, irritated and frustrated because my home plan had gotten denied and I felt stuck. Now I have a good job, an apartment and am slowly surrounding myself with good, healthy people. My old case manager gave me the phrase, "Just do the next right thing"..I have been running with it ever since. Something as simple as that. Maybe that's the key. Actually keeping my life super simple. No unrealistic expectations. Haven't perfected that one yet, but I am way more realistic than I have ever been. I now understand that people simply suck at times and that I just have to be prepared to deal with that painful life truth, lol. Another key piece of advice that I got was "You have to meet people where they're at". I'm trying to practice that everyday. Not easy, but I'm working on it.
So fucking tired from the early mornings, but I do like getting off early enough to have some kind of day left. That's what keeps me getting up when I hear the alarm at 3am. A refrigerator full of food is calling my name along with my remote. Today was a good day!
