Life/Goals Update
Apr. 9th, 2011 09:10 pmAs Beltane approaches, and the seasons change again, it seems to be time to update my long-overdue journal. Today I completed another professional training (#41) on psychotherapy with male survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and I'm a bit drained from that. It's been a rather challenging week. This week I completed all of the requirements for an upgrade to be an advanced student in the dojang. I proved I am able to be proficient with all of my forms, self-defense techniques, and sparring. My rank didn't really change, and this particular test is really less important than others. *shrug* I really don't care about rank, anyway.
Family issues and work are weighing on my mind, as well as the Fortress of Solitude. It's quite possible that our family will be making some very serious decisions by the end of summer. Work is, by the nature of the clients I see and the system that I see them in, very dysfunctional. It is, however, paying at least some of my bills. The Fortress of Solitude has been, after evaluation, even more damaged by my last tenant than was previously believed. It's being listed, but I'll most likely have to sell at a substantial loss, if it will even sell at all in this housing market.
On the plus side, 'Ol Number 3 will be getting some substantial upgrades before Flipside, and she is already far better than she was before she got to Texas. Valerie will be coming this weekend, and she and I and Steph and possibly some others will be running the Warrior Dash. I'm completing my classes at the Comal County Sheriff's Office Citizen Police Academy, and that may lead to possible employment leads.
Other progress on my list: I've spent a lot less time on my laptop (#86), tasted new foods (#66), still geocaching (#111), scheduled for my physical exam 4/29 (#49), and I'm still bald (#58). *smile*
