Ooooh....Ch-Ch-Changes...

Change is in the air, once again.

Life has been crazy lately. Yes, I know that's always the excuse a blogger uses when they haven't written an entry for a while, but it's really true with me, as of late.

In the last week:

1.) Bob, my car, broke down. Radiator got a hole in it. Changed the radiator. Assume that wasn't the only problem since water spews out of the radiator cap like Old Faithful the minute you start it.

2.) My wife quit her job, (and that's not a bad thing), and is now looking for another one.

3.) I thought one of our two cats, Bart, was going to die. He has problems involving his urinary tract. I'd go into it more, but no one really wants to hear about that.

It's all going to work out. I'm getting the car fixed, and my Dad loaned me his truck until Bob gets fixed. Pamela will find a job, I'm sure. No problem there, and Bart's better now.

...but I'm still thrown off by it all.

I'm a creature of habit, probably more so than most people. I fall into patterns and I stick with them. My mind finds the little patterns in my life and works around them, creating a nice little schedule that I keep, just naturally.

For example, sleeping. I have to have a fan to sleep. I have to have two pillows. I have to lay on my right side for a while, then my left, and then my right again before I can fall asleep. I have to have a fairly regular schedule of sleep, or I start to fall into insomnia. I never sleep well in a bed or place that isn't my own.

Having something change is a good thing, usually. I've rarely had changes happen in life where in the end, things didn't come out better. I'm not worried about the outcome.

Really. I'm not. It's the time of flux is what always gets me.

Once everything settles down again, it'll take me a few days to find a new pattern, and I'll stick with it until I'm forced to change again.
