To write you need inspiration, well at least I do most of the time. It comes and goes, when it comes around I leap at the opportunity to take advantage of it. I sometimes feel that it's harder now a days to feel inspired for some reason or another. Well for one I don't have a job, not for more than a month now. I'll be the first to admit it's been tough, especially the way I was fired from the first job I had right out of school. It made me angry, more than I'd like, so much so I couldn't move past it, and it's still there. It's moved aside just enough for me to take the first step to apply to the Local Electrician Union. It's manifested to others as frustration, I guess it must seem silly for something like getting fired from a place I only worked at for three weeks get to me like it has.
Recently I pulled out my SLR from under the front hall shelf in the hopes to rekindle some long lost feeling. Watching Adrian during the day, and having M here helps with me with finding the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Now that I've pulled out my "real camera" I look forward to what is to come from picture taking again. Later on this month is my graduation from the Bellingham Technical College. I finished school in March and the school has it's graduation once a year, and it's on the 23rd of this month. My family is coming out here to visit for about 9 days. My Mom, Dad, Brother and Grandmom are coming out. Adrian is my grandmom's first great grand baby, it's good that she's coming out because we don't know when the next time we'll be visiting back east. Also this will be the first time my brother has met Adrian. Andrew was actually in Seattle the morning Adrian was born, he might have actually been the first family member we told after he was born, well next to M's mom who was in the room with us.
That feels better, and speaking of feeling better. On Saturday M and I got some new sheets, 400 thread count sheets, and let me tell you I haven't slept that well in quite a while and it felt goooood.
Yesterday M and I talked to one of the two people who got M and I together, we hadn't talked to her in quite a while. It was really nice to talk to her and to hear that she's doing well. If it really wasn't for her and our friend Emil, M and I probably wouldn't have been together for these last six years. C thank you for calling M that day she was baby sitting and telling her that I had called. Emil if your out there thank you. Mom, Dad I love you guys and can't wait to see you soon.
That's all for now from the wonderful land of BOS.

I can understand that the impact of being fired has a devastating effect. You started the job pschyced(?), ready to roll and show that you have what it takes. Getting fired hits at your core being, making you question your ability and confidence. No harm in acknowledging the pain, discomfort, uneasiness. But understand that in truth this incident is just a life experience. You as a person and a fledgling electrician cannot let it form your concept of your abilities. It was a bad match, look elsewhere. An employer hiring an apprentice must have some sense that an apprentice will need some intruction beyond what experienced electricians require. It seemed clear after the fact that he was not going to operate like that. You are right to look at your life and see the riches that are already there in family and friends. Start thinking happy thoughts. Put it behind you. Keep looking for a job. We all love you and know that all is just a matter of time. Love Mom
On the matter of the sheets. I agree whole heartedly!!! I can really tell the differnece in how they feel from "regular sheets".
PS - MORE pictures. My latest desk top picture is of Adrian holding the plastic spoon. When his picture comes up, I tell him he is so cute.
Love Mom O
