Holly crap, how did it become Thanksgiving already?

I've been fully aware that this year has been flying by and that my annual day of drinking and Duets was rapidly approaching but even after arranging my ride to get supplies, I'm having a hard time believing that I will be eating Turkey tomorrow evening. Not only that but we are one month closer to a new year.

It's the new year aspect of my astonishment that's really getting me. Though I genuinely feel like I'm in a much better frame of mind than I have been for close to half a decade, I still have quite a ways to go to get to where I want to be and the fond memories from my past are growing in distance and clarity as I'm no longer submerged in a life that I once loved. 

Though I am excited about the upcoming year, I wish I was a tad bit further ahead in my efforts to start my next stage of life. I really enjoy what I'm learning in school and can't wait to incorporate it into a career, but right now I could really go for a gig that challenged me more and paid better than the interim work that keeps me fed until I become hirable in my new field.

It would be so nice be able to break out of the cyclical living that comes with being broke; eating the same affordable but shitty food on a daily basis, having to wait weeks for payday just to get a simple necessity, always aware just how close you are to not being able to keep up meagerest of existence.  

Oh well, this is the path I chose, though I do complain, I also accept all the blame. Now it's time to get back to work on my latest assignment to hopefully have this be the last complete year living like I have.

I'll be sure to check in tomorrow with my Thanksgiving plan.

Talk to you then,

The Wicker Breaker
