If you see me posting outside of the lounge...

...kindly tell me how to get back here because I'd be lost.

I swore off this site about a month ago, but here I am back again taking a puff on the virtual nicotine that is DU. I think this place would benefit from a return to the old moderating system, and I'll leave it at that.

I've been busy as hell, lately. This is the first Saturday I've had off in about 2 months and it feels luxurious. I definitely needed that extra dough, though, and I'll probably be back to working Saturdays soon.

I've also been going to school part time. I started taking two classes a semester last summer. I have one more final to take this semester, and if I get a 77% or better on it I will have an 'A' for that class and I will have gotten "A's in all six classes that I've taken since my return to school. I'll be a senior after this semester. I'm going to crank it up to three classes a semester starting this summer, and if I go at that pace I'll graduate with a BS in business administration in December of 2014.

Jen is doing well and we celebrated her birthday yesterday. Our marriage is as strong as ever.

It's amazing what a positive outlook can do for a person. I know some people are bound by brain chemistry, and I used to be one of them, but many of us hold the keys to our happiness in our hands and we don't even know it. To succeed you have to try as the old saying goes. Staying the same can be safe but dull. Doing something, trying to make a change for the better, entails risk but also the potential for rewards. I've always been a rewardian.
