I looked over my last post, and yes, pretty grim.

Things are looking up, and down. So far this 2011 buisness has been pretty rough. I totally over did it in January, work pretty much put me over the edge, but thats partly my fault. Trying to get "it" all done before my Mom came proved pretty pointless as "it" never ends.

I lost a close family member last week, which not only sucks but double ass sucks cos Im not to close to most of my family. Im gonna write somethen about that soon, and get it out there,up here and around.

Edinburgh is actually managing to produce some semi promising weather and I can feel spring coming, Ricky would maybe even say its here. It does something for the memory to have spring come, I like to be reminded of the very first time I went down to New Oreans, at the tender age of 13 I think it might have been. The world seemed very much alive then, So its good to be reminded of that feeling. Of course Bloomington feelings are strong during this time too, I can feel a trip coming on.. I miss America and the ones in it.

Recently I changed my job descrption, I traded the bar in for the kitchen & Im feeling much better so far, lets hope that lasts. I got really tired of dealing with the public, just to point out one of my issues. I have a bunch of visible tattoos and although this is no issue for me, having to explain them to conservative British people 7 times a day isnt exactly working out for me. Colin was right when he advised me to not get my hand tattooed just yet. Thanks Buddy..
So, feeling alot more comfortable behind the scenes, I am also doing lots of other things for the job, like learning about marketing and events,stuff that I think Im pretty good at.. Its kinda like throwing a party-just on a bigger scale. Im a natural fun haver so its all pretty easy.

I have yet to come to terms with some real long term goals in the UK other than continuing to immigrate. My Mom is here and that feels totally normal, it will be more lonely when she goes. Nice to be a 3 person team..
