Things have been okay in Anthony-land lately. I have yet to hear the specific date, but my surgery for my hernia is due sometime during the week after Easter. I'm gonna be off that week from work (except Easter), and I should hopefully be recovered enough to go back in on Sunday the following week, albeit on light duty. As for how things are going at my new store, they're settling down nicely now (I'm not sure if I explained it, but when I first got there, I felt horribly stressed out by both the manager and the customer service manager; that's no longer the issue). I actually think I'm beginning to like it there, too.

I've started playing a little more WoW again. When I first got moved in over here at C's, I spent a lot of time watching movies and making dinner and just hanging out with C, who I saw too little of prior (due in part to the now ex-wife), and while that was fun, my "WoW time" was what suffered. However, in the last week, I've been more active (if not on more), and actually fully participated in our guild's first full Karazhan clear. I know, it's like a year late for that to be impressive on a grand scale, but we didn't get into Kara until August, and then we lost our primary tank and primary off tank in December, and had to gear up new tanks, so I think we did fine. Heck, we only wiped on Prince and Netherspite that I know of, and those are fights we haven't done enough to know perfectly now.

Now that C's divorce has been finalized, he's started dating some again. He's found a real sweet girl (girl, she's our age, which is at/over 30!) who has a variety of tastes, and is relaxed and fun to hang around. The neat thing is that she's going to be joining the Castles & Crusades game that I run off and on. Despite being a well-adjusted adult, with grownup responsibilities, she also enjoys the occasional evening rolling dice and pretending she's someone else (sounds like a euphemism for going bar-hopping, eh? :) ).
The only downside to this is that I have realized that someone is out of whack in my world. I can't quite pin it down, either, so I'm left moody and grumpy at times for no reason I can think of. I suspect, though, that the idea of finding someone is starting to take root again, and given my current esteem-poor self-image, it's not likely to change anytime real soon. C tells me I shouldn't be a victim of past bad relationships, but I find that I fear to take the risk of trying it again. It's a horrible feeling to get close to someone, only to have them stomp on your feelings (remember M, folks? from back in December 2004?), and one that my instinct immediately kicks in to protect me from... to the point of not pursuing anyone else. If I don't try, I can't get hurt, but as C says, I won't be happy either.
Well, I *am* tired, and I'm clearly diving into a depression if I keep that up, so I'm gonna call it a night. Work in the morning awaits, from 6a-3p. Wish me luck? :)
EDIT: Ironic song to play, for a post of this kind, eh? :)
