Out of Nothing At All

It's been quite a week and half. In such a short period of time, I've tendered my resignation at work (which was rejected), resolved the falling out I had with M and we're working together again gingerly but openly, ran into my sister in a swimming pool, watched a Tropical Storm come up out of nowhere and am trying my best to consider and be open to dating.

I'm tired of blogging how difficult work is, how the hours are killing me, how everything just has gone apeshit. Given all that, Saturday we rented a hotel room and my coworkers/friends and I went there to get a little bit of work and rest together. That afternoon was very hot and we went for a swim. I knew my sister had been in town for her honeymoon but I thought she had already left Orlando. My sister and I haven't really spoken in four months - for many reasons too tacky to post here but suffice to say, her and her issues were more than I could or wanted to take while I was bringing an ERP system live. I spent the last three years taking care of her and her problems and I just had to let her be. So, when in the pool I was shocked to see her face across the water. Obviously some things in life are meant to be. Bless Kim for the advice of "Go underwater!" but we did meet and we did talk. It was a lot like ripping a band aid off so in that respect it was a good thing. I wasn't very chuffed with the attitude her husband had but I also can't blame him. I was glad to get it over with.

So now that the conflict of work and my sister have been completely and utterly confronted, it's somewhat opened my heart up more and like any woman who has been trained to care for herself last (a la Burnt Toast), it made some room for myself.
