I know that not all of you know me, like REALLY know me but for those of you who do, you prolly know I am ever so slightly dramatical. SO heads up, I might go overboard.

I'm rallying the support of the people who love and care about me because I am not doing very well. I have officially been in my current situation for just over 1 year now and I feel like I'm drowning.

I'm saying that I am in a battle, for my life, really. Im not sick or anything so don't go calling me at all hours of the night all worried.

I am at a crossroads. In front of me are these different choices and behind me is the way I came to be here, the no-so-happy journey that has led to this moment. And silly me, Here I am standing in the middle and All I can do is spin around and around until I'm not even sure which choice is which.

Going back would make me feel like a complete failure in my life, that I accomplished nothing by taking this path. The other choices, however are daunting to say the least.

On one side is the do nothing. The DON'T CHANGE path, the DO NOTHING path, continue on down the road of self destruction, which I am fairly certain will eventually kill me (take that figuratively please).

Another path is action. Do everything you say in your head you are going to do. Just do it-the Nike Philosophy road. (this is the road in the movies that looks the scariest with it's wicked looking trees and nefarious yellow eyes staring down-but its usually the correct path to take). This path is 100% uphill. The whole way. But the end of the road would mean being happy and *HEALTHY* (that is the integral part of this problem)

My conundrum is where to go from here. I am so amazingly frightened about any of the choices that I am frozen standing in the middle of the road with cars whizzing by at untold speeds just inches from my body. I want to take the action path, I really do, but I just don't. I can't really explain it. I just stand there.

So here I am standing in the middle. I'm hoping so much that someone much wiser than myself can snatch me from the middle of the road before I get run over. Even if it is just to pull me to the side of the intersection to look from a new angle.

I know this whole thing was very metaphore-like, I don't think everyone needs to hear every sorted detail.

I hope you all didn't miss me too much, I really haven't been on here in it looks like 1 month orso.

Things have been busy at work. I'm working 50-60 hrs a week to save up money for the off season (I work for a resort company) when I loose overtime AND full time hours.

No new pics to report of late.

Just thought I would say howdie to all who might have thought i'd fallen off the earth.

My latest adventure took me to the Waccattee Zoo in Socastee, SC. This is a little town just inland from where I live on the beach. It was a family owned place but well put together. It did have that feel of homemade but the animals all seemed to be happy, no zoo pacing you see with so many caged animals.

The place is HUGE. It's arranged in trails. On one of the trails there is a nature area including a pond which happens to be a Ibis Rookery. Cranes, herons, egrets and Ibis (those types of birds) all make their nests in big groups for safety and to discourage egg and baby eating animals, like raccoons, from eating the babies. It was amazing. There were hundreds of birds all squacking at each other loudly, mom's feeding babies, dads flying the perimeter of the rookery watching for predators. It was great.

As I am reading back I totally see that in that last paragraph I am shown as SUCH A SCIENCE GEEK. I wonder what I want to be when I grow up??? (P.S. I DO have a bachelor's of science Degree in Environmental Science so it is fitting

Well that is all for now so toodles!!!! Im exhuasted from my day.
