loyd-love

Loyd, my gay husband, my beautiful friend. I love you so much. More than I can even express.
To know you felt that hopeless - that alone - makes me wish I could have spent one more second with you. Maybe it would have changed something. I know that you’d probably slap me for that kind of thinking. “SHUT up.”

I miss your laugh. The last conversation we had, you told me you loved me. With a laugh. We joked about getting married.

Every time a child passed by, “Can we make one?”

I will think of you always.

RIP Loyd King. March 28, 1987 to Aug. 22, 2010.

Bigger and better things are coming…

I have officially submitted my enrollment into the Mark Skousen School of Business at Grantham University. I start next week.

I enrolled into one of the newest masters programs: the Master of Science in Performance Improvement. Yes, it may sound slightly sexual, but let me educate you on what it is exactly.

Definition from my school’s web site: The Master of Science in Performance Improvement program provides students with advanced skills in organizational resource management. Students are prepared to manage complex organizational challenges through performance improvement strategies and are adept at analyzing an organization, generating strategies to maximize performance and implementing solutions.

Basically, I will be getting my degree in training and human resources. Exciting, huh?

new beginnings

hello tumblr world. i have promise cayla fuentes that i will actually start to blog on a regular basis. i have a lot of things to say and no medium for those things, so i might as well go for it.

since my last ?tumble?, i have started a new job. i am now a student advisor at an online university, and i have 180-some students in my portfolio who i get to watch over like a mama.

i do like to think of my students as my little children. i have a fantastic relationship with a majority of them, and they know i have their backs.

i started p90x lean last week, and then stopped. tomorrow is another fresh start, just like the name of this blog. i will do it every day for the next three months. i refuse to give up. if any of you readers feel inclined, text me early in the morning and tell me to get my butt in gear.

i’ve decided to move out not this year, but next. probably in the spring. i just have to convince molly to move out with me. i think we might get a loft in midtown or downtown. i’m not sure yet. i look all the time. it will be weird to live with someone who i’ve known since 1992. ha. craaaazy!

anyway. i’m blogged out. update tomorrow on my first day back on the p90x wagon.

work

sucks. in case you weren’t aware of this whole working-for-a-living phenomenon…as sweet as it is, ms. customer, hearing you yell at me because you don’t want to pay to have a technician come to your house after hours, i’m really only working for the paycheck on days like this.

highlight of my day: cheez-its and larry king with loyd on my last 15-minute break.

low point of my day: trying to get a supervisor to take a call from a customer who was demanding a supervisor. is it really that hard?

why the hell am i awake?
