Hazel’s Safe Harbour

After we got back from North Dakota, we keep things oraganized here at home. We mowed the front and back of the house. I cleaned the bathroom, making it clean, fresh and well-organized. I still did not clean the bathroom upstairs. I may have to do that when my butt is not lazy. I still have to pack some of our things here and bring them all in North Dakota. We might have to leave and spend all winter in our new house. Right now, there are some few things that we will fix here. Meet some family and friends and enjoy for a while here. I wish to get more DVD’s for me to enjoy if winter is harsh and I can’t go out of the house. It would be great if there will be more activities lined up for both of us. Not minding the cold weather just enjoying and loving it!

My life is amazing since I started working. I get to meet different kinds of people all over the United States and Canada… from different States and Provinces. I can really say that working has made me changed so much for everything. The way I overlook for all the things around me. The importance of everything I have right now and my attitude towards my work. It made me a better person and made me realize that this is something what I want to do since I resigned from my call center job back at home. In my previous job, I only interact with the customers through the phone calls. I never saw them personally as I deal with them through the modern technology.

It was August 2, 2006 when I quit my job. I have personal reasons why I I have to leave my job. Honestly, being a call center agent wasn’t my first choice. I really wanted to work in a place where I have to deal with paperworks and see the customers visible in my eyes. I wanted to serve them with all my heart and good service. I wanted to work as a shift manager in a fast food restaurant. At the time I was working being a call center agent, the Human Resources Department of the fast food chain I am trying to apply for called and said I am ready for the interview. I was totally surprised when they called and wanted to leave my job then and show up for the interview. But I decided not to. I was telling myself, I have given my commitment to this company where I am and so I will continue working being a call center agent. Besides, I don’t even know if I will be happy working with them as I have already created a good foundation of friendship within my co-workers. So I stayed for the rest of the month until I quit my job and met my fiance who is now my husband.

Where I am now? What I should do now? I am still in the process of absorbing having a new place, new state and new environment. Everything is new with me now. It was like, I wanted to go back to the old state -  Kentucky where I am used to. There, I know I am not a little bit ignorant. Living in Kentucky for a year made me know something about their culture and traditions. I can possibly talk to the people if I wanted to know something or when it regards to the legalities of the state. I have acquired my driver’s license in Kentucky too. Now, I have to go through the entire process… again! I am going to have a new driver’s license – another state again! I guess I have to abide for all the laws here. I have to!

I need more time. I am contemplating everyday. Sooner or later I will be ready to explore the new neighborhood. I need to get a job too to make myself busy. Our things are still in the box and I may have to set aside some things again like blogging to keep me get going. I should stop being lazy. This time, multi-tasking is part of my everyday life. I have to be!

It has been 9 days now that I haven’t visited my WordPress.com blog. I know, I know… I owe a lot of explanation here and a little bit of blogging before I will start myself busy working to my new job effective on August 1st. It is really a big step for me as I start finding my self-worth and start over. Hey, I have been a bum for 1 year and 6 months now! That’s actually a very long period of time not working and doing nothing at all. I miss waking up early in the morning, taking a bus ride, receiving my paycheck every month, I miss doing some work, multi-tasking, the 1-hour lunch break, meeting people from work and do the talking. Most of the time, I spent my days with my husband and facing the internet – surfing, chat and blog about my thoughts. I missed it! I am looking for some fun that would make myself busy and productive at the end of the day. I want challenges, the new environment, expectations from the job and just about anything I could fine to have fun working.

I guess, I have to start earning some for a little while. Anyway, visiting 29 states was great. Those short road trips and long travels are worth it and I had so much fun. I may have to focus more about our future, financial plan and some future vacations someday. For now, let me get busy doing something in exchange of a monthly paycheck. I can’t wait for the day I will start working for my new job. For sure, it will take time again before I can go back from blogging. Sooner or later, I will find time to visit, share and write everything here.

Another Wednesday will passed in a few minutes. I didn’t even notice how time fly so fast that I couldn’t even see being productive for myself. As usual, the house is messy and boxes are everywhere. Still, I am not finish packing all our stuffs. I guess I am almost done or will be done on Friday. Mark my word! I don’t want to procrastinate all the time as we really need to keep going as we move pretty soon. I have to fix and arrange some things and some of our clothes that we will need for the weather in the time of the winter. As I count every luggages and boxes, I have 6 and 10 respectively. Not counting the plastic boxes.

What’s bad about me is, I can’t finish them all in a whole day because I tend to delay packing. I still sneaked and peeked in my personal computer to check on something. Then, there are times that I have to watch my favorite TV show then fell asleep. Oh yeah, how can I finish everything if I have a lazy butt? You see, I have given so much time just in resting. It was like, I am feeling sad moving again. I have mixed emotions now that the day we will move is fast approaching. I guess, I can’t attend the baby shower of a good friend I just met. My husband was very anxious to move. As for me, I don’t know. I still have mixed emotions in moving. Half-ready and Half-not. I will let you know pretty soon. I will write it here for sure. I will keep you posted!

Days from now, we will be moving to our new place. It will be a new beginning for me and my loving husband once again. Living 5 months from our first house and 7 months to our second house. It was all pretty short time to enjoy our nice houses for the past 12 months. I am still on the process of reminiscing the short time I have spent in our place. I know, there will always be a lot of opportunities that will come our way moving to the next place where we should be.

I guess, I have put a lot of things here and I am going to leave them behind and bring the good ones. Well, all memories are good for me and Winn. We always make sure that we are happy and enjoyed the things we should enjoy. More things to pack up and the empty boxes are waiting for me to fill them up. I still need old newspaper where I can wrap the ceramic plates, saucers and cups for extra careful handling. I will help my husband load the car and truck with the boxes and some furnitures. It is just me and him, no help from others. We will start loading the truck tomorrow, early in the morning. I will keep myself away from my computer first thing in the morning as nothing will get in our way while doing some lifting back and forth, packing all of our stuffs and cleaning the house. Hopefully, we can do everything tomorrow as we will have more time to rest, rest and get some rest!
