I hate my job. Ok, that is a bit harsh. I despise my job. Hmmm, that's worse. Let me try again (think positive now). I abhor my job.Oh f*ck it. Seriously, I do not enjoy my work, but in this economy I have security, I'm good at what I do, and I have a lot of flexibility. I work at home and I get to see my kids all day (sometimes that is a positive) and I have time to take care of my family when they need me. So, I'm not going anywhere. That being said, I had to work late again tonight and I thought I might never get out for my run, but I stole away for my 15 minutes, came back and ate dinner, and got some more work in after that. See...flexibility.
Now, if I had my druthers, what would do I want to do when I grow up (oh, wait, I think I confirmed in an earlier blog that I am not accepting the fact that I am an adult)? I still am not 100% sure what I want to do, but I know I want to work for myself. I think I would like to work in the fitness industry, or, I'd like to write. See how perfect this blog is? I'm training for both right now! Maybe I am preparing for my future right now? The big question is, can I support my family on blogs and running?
Uh, no.
So much for following your dreams. I am an idealist, I'm just not a stupid one. Maybe once the kids move out, I'll follow my dreams (albeit, with a walker, false teeth and a full adult diaper).
For now, I will have to be happy with my two hobbies. And I kind of am. I'm not sure if I am enjoying writing the blog or running more? It's a toss up. Today, I ran without music and I just listened to the sounds of nature. It was dark and cool and the crickets were, uh, cricketing (?) and it was a nice, peaceful run.
