It's been a while.

So, this daily posting really took off.

I've been meaning to update this for a while. A lot has happened in the last month or so. Plenty of good times to look back and reflect on.

Firstly, work. I've settled in nicely. Training went as well as it could have. We've all been released into the wild, so to speak.

Another dream became a reality, I finally got to see my Bengals. Albeit, the game ended in a tie. 27-27. Imagine that, 14 years of waiting.. For a draw. The atmosphere at Wembley was electric & it gave me the opportunity to add to my merch collection. The new Dalton jersey is a welcome addition to my collection.

Top 100 DJ's was also excellent. A night filled with bass, friends & plenty of new faces too. A heart to heart with an old friend rounded out the night nicely.

Financially, I'm just about out of 'the hole'. Everything comes to an end this month. The struggle is almost over. I'm enjoying the 80-20% split of my paycheck getting flipped. 20% as outgoings, 80% for the future.

As for me. I'm doing a hell of a lot better compared to when I started these entries. I have a lot more stability now & have come to terms with my grandfather's death, at long last. Oddly enough, it took someone else's funeral to put things into perspective. At the time, I was so focused on being strong for everyone else around me, I never took the proper time to grieve.

In turn, I've been able to deal with my depression in a more positive way. Granted meds and sessions of some sort will be required further down the road. For the moment, I'm enjoying feeling like myself again. The little layer of sadness that haunted me has disappeared.

I wake up each morning happy and think straight, as opposed to, miserable and wondering, how can I get through the day. It's a welcome change.
