Year 2026!

Oh, hello, Blog!

 I just had this random thought about getting back to blogging again, what if? It has been such a long time since I haven't really paid attention to getting on the computer and being confined in a small and dark corner of the house because it is boring and lonesome; I could cry. Such a depressing thing to do to just always sit on the computer. For me, it is wild for some people that they could do it all day, every day of their lives. But here I am, tapping on the keyboard, making a comeback to my very first post fourteen years later. Who would have thought? Something urged me to blog again, to, you know, just let my thoughts out once in a while and not really put pressure on myself to always update a blog. 

I am actually really surprised that several of the blogs that I started years ago are still alive! So, here I am again, finding myself writing my first entry for the year 2026! It has been so many years have passed since I wrote my last entry, and which blog I posted last, I don't even remember! As for me, I am still the same old me who came to America 20 years ago.

 I still speak broken English, or what we call "guava English"; I am now turning 43 years old in 25 days; I have a few streaks of gray hair, have gained 17 pounds over the years because I stopped working out since I started getting a full-time job. Yes, I am older and a little bit wiser. Surely, I have learned a lot about life, family relationships, friends,  and most of all about children and marriage. I have changed jobs five times already since 2017. 

The longest I stayed in a job is five years in a manufacturing company. Life has been great for my whole family and me. Our girls are now grown, both are teenagers, and one is about to go to college in August. My husband retired from policing in 1017, and we moved away from the city, which had a quarter-million population, to a tiny town in Northeast Texas with maybe 4.000 population now (there was only 2,000 population when we moved here 9 years ago).

I am currently employed at a company that is young and new, making organic wellness and beauty products. I work over there as a label coordinator for, guess what? exactly 8 months today, the day I also decided to come back to blogging. Double cheers to that self! I am kinda proud of myself of the job I am doing today because this is my very first desk job since I started venturing out on working outside of our home. It is funny to think that I graduated from a computer course in college and never used that course in my working life. I've always worked in a fast-paced environment, and I've grown tired of doing those jobs as I got older, so this one is different from what I did in the past, although the scope of the job is related to my previous position. 

I'll continue yapping next time. I feel like I am sitting down on the computer too long and my eyes are getting tired... ciao!
