so much has happened since february ..

Last time I blogged was in February and so much has happened. Alot of good times and alot of drama as well.

After I started back to work I ended up hurting myself and taking two weeks out of work because of a messed up knee. I had slipped and falling on my parents' stoop. It wasn't anything serious though. Just a contusion. During that time we had a few visitors come through. Mary from Houston came to visit us for a bit. Cheryl from California also came and stayed at our apartment for a few days. In June we actually took a week long trip to California and stayed with Cheryl at her house for S.F. Pride.

Now for the drama ..Chris and I, as of this moment, have been on break for about 2 weeks. Our relationship took a turn for the worse unfortunately. I don't want to get into it right now, maybe I'll save that for another blog, but all I can say is that nothing is the same. I refuse to be an option or an after-thought.

off to work ..

Today is my first official day back to work. My two month leave of absence is over. Hopefully, once I get to work, there's no other drama that will occur.

Right now my only fear is to go to work and they tell me I have to go back home because I'm not allowed to come back yet for some other stupid reason. Wish me luck!!

it's been a while ..

Wow!! I totally forgot I had one of these. And look!! The first and last time I blogged here was in May of 2007. Boy, has ALOT happened since then. I barely even remember 2007. *lolz*

Well, since then I've moved around like 3 times. I'm finally situated in a 3 bedroom/2bath apartment in Bayonne, NJ. Our view is of the Bayonne bridge and our neighbor is Staten Island. It's real pretty at night. If you don't know what that bridge looks like, just watch "War of The Worlds". The part where the aliens come down right above a bridge -- that's my view. Check it out:

This pic was taken right on my front steps.











Yes, so Behbii had lost her job at Wholefoods around March of 2008 and we struggled to get by. Till this day we're still struggling but now she works are a restaurant called "Ten East" right here in Bayonne. I, on the other hand, have been on a "forced" leave of absence from work for 2 months now. Fortunately, I get to return to work on Monday. It's been hellish trying to survive on zero money. Rent alone, I had to ask for help from my parents and sister for. But I believe once I get back on the grind we can set ourselves straight again. We plan to fly to California for a few weeks in June for Pride. So we REALLY need to start saving up for that ASAP!!

As for that leave, I actually had to start seeing a therapist while on this it. But I find it very helpful and I'm not ashamed of it. I needed this to learn my lesson and to start taking my job seriously. Especially in these rough economic times we're having.

Ok, so I'm gonna make it a point to write in here a little more often. Most likely I'd either blog here first, then paste to Xanga or vise versa.
