Life In The New World...

It came as no surprise and had much more build-up than actual fanfare, but my contract here at work was renewed for another six months leaving me employed until sometime in January when everyone comes under review again. I say it was no surprise not to be cocky in any way...but just that it was a given that all the new kids where going to be retained unless we choose to walk away, which thankfully no one did.
Life is a little odd here of late...I'm not going to lie...nor am I trying to complain in any way. I am just feeling a bit isolated and trapped to put my feelings into words. I know that some of it has to do with my lack of cellphone and the trouble it has been trying to get it replaced, which if all goes as planned should finally be tomorrow sometime. Nothing like a week without your phone to make you wonder what you did before you ever had one!
Besides the phone I continue to struggle to find a life outside of work, yesterday I went and observed an evening program that is interested in hiring me...it was a good program and I think I will do well with it. However, since I have no reliable transportation of my own it required me to stay "on-campus" if you will and I did not make it home until after 10pm last night...needless to say Portia was glad to get out of her crate and go for a walk last night!
One bit of promising news is that I found out about a softball league here in town not too terribly far from where I live just a couple miles...and there is a chance I may still be able to get on a team...I really am hoping that works out. It's tough being surrounded by my work and co-workers all the time and not really having a true outlet or breakaway from that at any point. I have decided if I get into this evening program I am going to take the money I make there and save up for a truck...cause man Portia and I really could use the opportunity to drive outta here once in awhile and go to the beach or the mountains or something. Nothing like a week without any communication to make you miss your friends and family and wish you had at least a couple who were close by.
Like I said I am not complaining in anyway, just trying to process that I have ventured to a new world for me and now I have to find a way to make this my new home with new friends...God help me please!
