around and around we go

I've always known that my life was one big merry-go-round, situations just keep getting recycled. I've tried to be dynamic and make changes, but I just seem to end up in the same place again and again. I have a job, it is the same job with the same company that I had when I moved back to Seattle in 2005, except a different physical location. My boss is one of my former coworkers, and the big boss is my former supervisor. It is in the same building I worked in with the shit-ass company that let me go in December while I was struggling with my health, so I will likely run into people from the company at some point. Definitely in a two steps back part of the old adage.

today is a day

Here I am and I am here, having mostly recovered from an illness that has upended almost every aspect of my life. I am middle aged, unemployed, and generally feeling pretty down about life. I'm told this can be turned into a positive because I have the opportunity to start again, like rising from the ashes or something equally trite.
