August get Au-tov-mah-weh

So.
Transition.


It's not the same as change.

I wish, right? Jingle jingle in your pocket?

No. The kind where it's consistent rolling tide of events in your life for better or worse.

Does faith have to do with it?
Or persistence in the name of your soul.


As many of you know I work in health care.
For christ sakes I don't even know why, it's not healthy and it's taught me all but to care.

However,..........I can't help myself and eventually fall in love with the people I work with.
It's kind of like being cursed.

Except I've gotten rid of the curse.
If I told you how, you'd officially think I was crazy.

But I'm not.
I'm just soluably different and way way way way way ahead of my time.

Always have been, always will be.
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but, let's face it. I am amazing.

INSERT SHIT EATING TOOTHY GRIN HERE--------------------->
Followed by snorting awkward laugh. :)

So 2 months ago, my car broke down, 3 days in a row.
Those same 3 days, I got pulled over by the police.
Details available on said stories upon request.

Yep.

I went to purchase my dream car, as I have had enough of the Merc "Betty" Sable.
She was self destructive, as I repeatedly sunk money into her and kept braking down on me.

Nope. No more.

So I bought a Black Subaru Forrester.

In love, ....of course. I take it for a weekend to go camping; at the friendly beaver campgrounds of course.

Little did I know that where I bought this car, my personal information was to be leaked out.
This was not appreciated, so of-course after I signed a 4 year loan and put a down payment of 5k, I had to withdraw leaving me with a rental for a week while I desperately searched for a decent place to buy a vehicle from.

They could have given me my dream car. Which was a teal blue forrester. Of course it would have cost me 1.5k more.

So I took the next best offer.
A Honda Accord, She has a nice ass and is good on gas. So that's all that matters other than the fact that she has an unlimited warranty.

:)

I signed the contract at 6 pm on a warm summer evening.
The next morning it was a Thursday.
I drove the car into the gravel hilled driveway at my bosses house ready to pack up and take my patient to the beach, when my car got stuck.

We pushed it up the hill for 3 hours. 3/4's of the way........when I put the car in park and half climbed out to continue pushing.
What's that noise?

Oh Just Deana's car dragging her down a hill and the door snapping off.

The day after I bought it.
My car ran me over.
And so, she shall be named.
Sassafrass.

I could have died. But I didn't.
I just got a gnarly bruise.

The next week I got a phone call from a Brewery.

Say it with me: Brrrrru-arrr-eee


Isn't it fun?
Mmmmm. Beer.
I got hired at the Dream fun job,....I'm waiting for my hot-stuff car to be fixed.
What next?


So I'm 2 weeks into the new job and I have a patron whom happens to be British and a gent of good looks.

Of course we had some wonderful conversation :)

Turns out he's a teacher and told me about this fantastic school where he works and how I might be able to land a job if i discuss with the headmaster my conditions of my education.
A job and possible payment for my masters degree?

ROKAY!!!!!


One door leads to another so I'm gonna walk right through.





As far as the health care job goes, I took Ms. Teri to Arizona,

I managed to land safely and drive a good 6 hours to her home-town.
the next day i drove straight through to Salt Lake City.

In a town full of Mormons, I still managed to find a way to shake my ass.
First, at a hoe-down. Second, Samba dancing.
Which was all of it amazing as good company was my sister, and a town of art, outdoors, and crime-free neighborhoods.

Deanajoy was a happy camper.

Having 17 hours in a car by yourself can help give you time to think too.

How?
I ate Burritos in the west like a diabetic kid needs insulin.

I drove through the Navajo desert and managed to take a few pictures that didn't come out so well. you wonder about curses, and ghosts. But can people actually accept that yes in fact they are as real as our very flesh and bone?
Common sense applies to the supernatural?

Is it any wonder that the two things I "accidentally" left in the rental car was my camera and the red rock I stole from the Grand Canyon?

(Yes I snuck into the Grand Canyon and technically stole land)
That's how it got there don't you know? :)

The beautiful and mystery of the empty America.
Desert Rock that was quit possibly ocean centuries ago.

How can we ever understand the beauty around us.
When will we try?
That's just it.
Try.

On my arrival in Salt Lake City I stayed up as long as I could.
Because I got to see my sister.
A loved one who has been in my life through so much bad, now good.
Someone who does not judge.

Upon my leaving, we watched Harry Potter.
Yes we did.
And it was glorious in all it's nerdy accent.

But I had a red-eye flight and the best part about it was that I got to spend time with someone who means the world to me, and I got to spend a solid day to myself absorbing the soul of the earth around me, while I thought about those I may or may-not, maybe even should or should-not keep in my life anymore.

The point is try for the things that matter, things that are NOT irreplaceable.
Things, that are not things at all.


It's been a really long road.

I'm past so much, and never to give up.
My dreams are so close to coming true.
I will say, that it's because I try.
I'm not perfect and I know it, but damned it all to hell I have faith.
Who knew my 25th summer would be the year I started to leave my mark?

Ye be warned world.
The happy soul of me has woken from my long sleepy start in this flight of life.

I'm at my gate,
and I've arrived.......
