Out with the Old, In with the New

Since my stars are aligning for change this wonderful month of December, I decided that I may as well go full out. I guess the change actually started in November when I decided to leave my job at Target. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone I worked with (most everyone), but was expected to do about ten different people's job in any given shift. I don't really mind being the go to person. I'm reliable so it's almost expected everywhere I work that I will multitask until my ligaments fall off. The problem with this is that A. $8.25 an hour to do a manager's job is unacceptable and B. I was getting reprimanded for not doing my job. Let's be clear here. If you want me to do my job, how about you allow me to do it instead of making sure I do everyone else's also?!

Then a few weeks later, the next change was when Mark and I decided to go our separate ways, even though all the signs are pointing to him coming back begging me to take him back. I long for this day, because who doesn't like saying "I told you so". Bittersweet, it will be. 

Yesterday, I decided another change I should make is to get a new phone. I had had my HTC Rezound since November of 2011. Therefore, I was eligible for an upgrade. I actually had been since July. Yet again, all the stars seemed aligned to make this change. I thought I wouldn't have money to get one, but they were on sale at Target. Then Mark said he wanted to pay all the bills (guilt perhaps?) and so that opened up a nice Christmas/birthday present for me! I had decided on the Galaxy S4 a few months ago and so far, I can definitely say that I am satisfied, even if it took three hours for me to do the upgrade. It might be slightly bigger than my old phone, but it's much lighter. Another strange anomaly to me is that I took my phone off the charger this morning at 5 AM and it still isn't even down to half battery. 

Another big change in the works is possibly heading back to Nebraska. I feel like it's nearing time to raise the white flag on Indiana and start anew. I'm just having if I want to finish my lease out, which is up in October, wait until the tennis season is over in May, or just pack now and call it a day. Perhaps it's just the birthday/Christmas blues.
