Rollercoaster

I need to take a minute to lift my head and take several very deep breaths. Ever feel like life is moving way too fast, and can be hard to cope with?
I keep thinking, okay, I'll just get through this week, and then I can just relax and things will calm down and I'll have some time to myself.
Um, not so much...
For me that next week is just as crazy as the week before, so now I'm just preparing for what might surface next week.

• At the end of September I moved out of my apartment, and moving is never fun in 100 degree weather. I was burglarized (while home alone) the 2nd to last night we moved out, and talk about terrifying!
• I had recenlty settled a huge mess with my employer finally, they had been witholding my paychecks from me!
• Then I think I had a week of peace, somewhat, and the next week we had the whole world in our office. I became the best office monkey in the world! I worked my tail off along with others to make sure things went smoothly for our global directors from around the world. That was a stressful couple weeks. That week I got a call to do a gig as well, on the night of my little bros birthday. I had to find a replacement for my other gig and had to sing at another party, while missing my little bros birthday. Grrrrrrr
• Then my car broke down for the 2nd time in 2 months. It's scary to be in the middle of gridlock in hollywood at a red light and your car beginning to overheat! I had it towed to one place and then another, trying to find a good mechanic who could work on my car. $1000 later I had my car back in good shape. I still can't believe I've put more money into my car than my own health.
• Then dad came to town and we had a mini vacation to Disneyland! That was beyond fun...
• Now this week I'm still waiting to receive a lost paycheck from work, and I have to be in court tomorrow morning to testify against the man who burglarized me in August...

I must begin to look at the bright side of things! I think I always do, but this town is rough and unforgiving. C'est la vie...

Well, I have learned about patience, and that life will throw curve balls at you. It's how you handle it that shows your true character!

Cheers, and go Red Sox!
