Okay, so I am late in posting it... but there it is... SO... how was 2005, you ask? Well, firstly, thank you for asking! It was:

(loving the format of The Unknowable Shrone)
January: I was enjoying the new residence in Morro Bay that I had found and shared with my friends; slowly still unpacking (from the November 28-ish move-in). Celebrated my birthday by taking the week off - very fun! But I found out that it was not practical for my work... budgets and all.
February: The latter part of the month was my official ONE YEAR anniversary at LBLP. Also, this month I had met someone and had a few dates... nothing further from that experience... we had different expectations, I guess. I had started experiencing frequent nose bleeds and started getting concerned. Started but procrastinated on "doing" something about the concern.
March: Okay, so I only procrastinated for a couple of weeks... I went to an ENT doc about the nose bleeds and got a HUGE section in my nose cauterized... not exactly the best feeling in the world... and they used silver nitrate.... I think I might be part werewolf because I didn't like the feeling that followed! LOL... So, within the same time frame, I also addressed the issue with a skin rash that I'd had for quite a while... turns out it was some kind of EXTREMELY dry skin... at a very deep level that if I don't keep myself hydrated, I basically react like I am allergic to myself. (that's the paraphrased version of what the doc said). OH! OH! OH! - this was also the month that I procured a new camera!
April: First and foremost... it was the month that the beautiful, Sierra Elizabeth was born!! I decided to finally go through with the process of receiving my ordination for my desire to fulfill my spiritual directives... I am now a "Reverand"... which seemed odd to say... I feel very good about this choice in my life. Let's see; I also started receiving accupuncture for the first time EVER... actually liked the experience for someone who is afraid of needles... that says a lot! I spent a lot of the month playing with the new camera around SLO County. Oh, and played softball for the team from work.
May: I heard from my sister, whom I hadn't spoken to in a couple years... not for NOT wanting to talk to her or some kind of rift between us... just lost contact... she had moved to Virginia. Anywho... it was wonderful being in touch with her again! And, still entralled by the lovely Sierra and the miracle of life! The Halcyon Craft Faire was nice to attend... didn't feel as drawn to this one (they do two a year). And fell in love with journaling on paper again. Tried to play golf with some friends for the first time ever. Fun... but, more "funny" for folks to watch me trying! Still playing softball. It was a fun month! June: Softball: we won the championship game after a battle of ups & downs... I got dressed UP for the game. Decided to go wild and bright with my hair for a new twist!! Way fun! Reconnected with my best friend while attending Madison's Horse Show... much needed reconnection!! Visited Hearst Castle for the first time... OH...the BEAUTY! I also had the honor of performing the Christening for Sierra on a spectacularly beautiful day in Shell Beach.
July: Experienced a baby bird that rocked my heart with a powerful lesson. I was asked to take the pictures for a small wedding ceremony for a couple that I would have never thought would ask it of me... actually the person who asked was the one I'd not expected would ask... but then again... it was basically to get pictures taken for free.... mixed feeling on that event... hurt, taken advantage of... and yet extremely happy for the couple and their commitment to each other. The big struggle for this month... looking for a roommate after being told by my best male friend that he was heading back to his "home state" so he was moving out at the end of August. Being the only one left on the lease, I considered a rearrangement of how I wanted to handle the responsibilities of the house and having sub-leasing tenants. I was completely heartbroken about having my friend physically distanced from me... I dealt with the news as best I could... but made sure to express my feelings to him.
August: Sigh, I found someone at the first part of the month who sounded like a good prospect. Note: not everything is what it seems. A valuable lesson that would quickly play itself out to me in the coming months. Time started to fly by quickly to me... when chaos occurs, that is usually the feeling that I start to have... time flys. I had expressed a specific request to the remaining sub-leasing tenant - which at the end of the month quickly was ignored. A specific person was NOT welcomed to stay over into the evenings... as, earlier in the year this person WAS renting at the house and left without any notice... bridges BURNED... not to mention the pain caused to the remaining roommate, who was also very dear to me. Conflict started to rise since I felt differently about the person being in the house at all. A friendship dissolved due to verbally expressing how I felt about my areas of the house... and that was primarily it... "my areas" is what ticked the roommate off... uhm, hello, primary tenant vs sub-leasing tenant. The negativity towards me started flowing rapidly... and was easily noticed! A second heartbreak.
September: After finishing up some instructional discourses, I finally received my "Honorary Doctor of Divinity" - an addition to my spiritual path of the Ordination received earlier in the year. So, while bits of chaos occured in the house... I still had the fortitude to grow spiritually. The new roommate still felt like a good decision and all seemed to be going well on the surface (to me). Little did I know. On top of this, I had fraudulent activity hit my account in excess of $2000 - something I can't control and can't handle too well... but, my credit union was very observant and kept up on it... I received all my money back - thank goodness.
October: Bizarro month like no other!!! I feel the negativity towards me in the house from the new roommate... don't understand why... well, I find out that she and my friend who moved out are "hooking up"/dating... words were expressed between she and I that were less than positive and I started feeling totally walked-on, taken advantage of and played a fool. Was this an "online connection" that my friend had moved into the house? Coincidence that they started dating so quickly? I mean it was only a week really of spending time together that it all "hooked up"... and it took about a month for him to finally tell me. So, he decided to call a "house meeting" - and he doesn't even live there - so I go... thinking we are all going to express our concerns about the house ... NOT THE CASE... it was a 3 1/2 against 1 attack on me. This the straw that broke the camels back. At the same time, I received word that my mother had been committed to a hospital for saying that she wanted to give up on life (she suffers from MS and depression)... she was in for a week.... this definitely put things into a clear perspective for me... I needed to live ON MY OWN... so that if anything happened to any of my family, I would be able to leave without worrying about the chaotic household in which I was living. I do not do well with negativity projected towards me. So, knowing that the landlords were very kind people, I submitted my notice to vacate the house at the end of November. Thus, requiring the remaning tenants to establish their own agreement with the landlords... I knew this would be no issue... but, it was MADE into an issue of negativity. In all actuality, I didn't need to give the roommates notice of my departing - but I did out of the kindess of wanting them to be prepared. Not how they saw it, though.
November: started slowly packing stuff up and preparing for my departure while enduring the negative, icy-cold shouldered childishness of the remaining tenants. I am certain at this point that I have made the absolute best decision to move out. AND, my best friend and her husband had already offered to let me stay with them until I found a place in SLO of my own. Again, proof that I had made the right decision - the Universe was providing ample protection for my challenges... this didn't feel like a struggle... but rather a divinely guided choice. "All for the greater good of every person involved." Regardless of how the other choose to perceive my actions. Oh, and yes, I expressed my feelings clearly about how I felt regarding the house meeting and their actions. I had the week of Thanksgiving (how apropos is that?!!) to move... which worked out perfectly... a very dear friend came to help me with the large stuff which was a godsend of help! I steamed cleaned, scrubbed and polished "my area" of the house and was very pleased with myself!
December: Life is looking up! Everything feels like a HUGE weight had been lifted from my shoulders - I received the entire rent deposit back from the landlords! They were pleased with the house and were ready to turn the lease over to the new roommate's father... that's right... Poly Princess asked her dad to take care of her expenses yet again. That was my final roll of the eyes for that house... I wash my hands... I move on HAPPILY! I spent the holidays (including last month's) with family... my best friend whose family has taken me in as one of their own. I felt loved, important, and reciprocal energies. I am so glad that I made the decision to cut chords and get out while I still had a better part of my sanity! I am finally feeling "me" again... and seeing life as a positive and spiritually wonderful experience. I even found a place of my own and received word of "getting it" on the 28th! What a powerfully positive way to end the 2005 year! I spent New Year's eve with my best friend, a dinner of King crab legs, steak and MMMmmmashed red potatoes... and followed up with the evening watching a movie and drinking great champagne (yes, champagne and not sparkling wine "champagne" - I bought some good french stuff). So, as the clock chimed... I was with someone that absolutely loves me for who I am and likewise, I love my best friend for who she is... I couldn't think of anything better to usher in a New Year, new chapter, a new opportunity.... 2006.
