Bored

god, i'm twitching for some excitement here.
i remember when i was a teacher, january just sucked. the months leading up to it were full of holidays and days off to break up the daily insanity into tolerable chunks. then january came, and there was nothin'. no light in sight. you were just screwed for the long haul.

man, it's painfully monotonous here.
i think i pulled myself into the clear on my 2nd job. FINALLY pulled a report today that seemed to work for him. so thank god, that's better.

and i've been working a lot this week. so it's not like there's nothing going on. i've been busy.
but dying for some excitement, adventure, travel.

my boss came in our office today, sat down and chatted for at least a 1/2 hour. it was very pleasant. told him, i'm twitchin'. he understands. i love having (or had :( ) a boss who understands my need to be free and in nature. we had a great little talk, about what he's gonna do, what the new guy will do, cancer, healing herbs, and the whole gamut. he's such a good guy. thank god, both my bosses are just great.

kate, my on-line travel buddy, is going to visit here soon. she's talking about skydiving, and fuck, if she goes, i may go with. i mean, i'm terrified and shit, and it's so much money, but damn, wouldn't that be the coolest story?

i've also been thinking a lot more about getting my firefly tattoo. i found a tattoo place online with a guy who's art i really like.

this is the year afterall. MY year - the year of my ADVENTURE-OF-A-LIFETIME, yet so far, it feels blah as ever. i'm ready to jump back into the carpe diam mode- let's get this party started!!!!!!

god, tho, time is ticking down, and my trip planning momentum was just killed by the holiday break. i gotta start finalizing plans and seriously getting rid of stuff, send my passport off and finish my shots. my train always gets derailed by breaks like this. i'm nervous now. scared. like, am i actually gonna do this? i am hesitating on finalizing the decisions. i wish the motivation would come back! i'm excited too tho. can't wait to hear the sounds of the jungle at night!!!!
