No, I Haven't Fallen Off The Face Of The Planet

"So, where the hell has Cher been?" you may ask. To be honest, I've been working on finding more time for me. I've been trying to find myself again, and let "mommy" and "housekeeper" and "wife" take a break for a minute. Where the hell is Cher? Who the hell am I anymore? That's what I've been focusing on these past couple of weeks.

Now that Gabriel's a little older, I've been more comfortable with leaving him with the grandparents a little more. In the meantime, I've been going to the gym and trying to get back into working out. On top of that, I've signed up for the 5k Flowertown Run Festival this month, and two weeks later running the 10k Cooper River Bridge Run. I don't know what I'm getting myself into, seeing it's been quite awhile since I've ran, but I've got a little bit of time to train. Hell, I see it as more time for me. Even though I know I won't be making breaking record time on my runs, I'm happy to know that I'm planning something for myself...and something that I'd enjoyed pre-baby, pre-marriage, pre-identity-tied-to-someone-else.

I've also decided to pursue a bit of a directional change in my career. Nothing big, but hopefully something that will work out with my hours I am willing (or not willing) to put into my job. We'll see have how everything pans out. Whatever happens, it will all work itself out. In the end, it always does.
