Ringing In

I've decided a couple of things lately.

1. I suck at keeping up with this blog. Part of it is lack of anything interesting to say, part of it is a genuine feeling of apathy. Quite frankly, my life hasn't been the most fulfilling of late, but I am taking steps to fix that.

2. I have set a deadline for some big life changes. I want to apply to my hometown police department in 2011. In the meantime, I will be getting in shape and losing weight, hunting for an apartment in Central VA, and getting back into Academy form in terms of my shooting.

3. I need to find something that makes and keeps my happy. A lot of the trouble I've been having with being motivated to improve things has been due to being generally unhappy. I have taken up gardening, or at least caring for plants, but obviously that's not terribly time consuming in the middle of winter. Perhaps part of my change to a happier me should include moving on to new employment until I am ready to reapply to the Police Department.
