Julio's Musings

Well it’s been quite a while since my last post (as always). It’s almost midnight now so I’m going to write a quick post because I really do need to get to bed.

So one year ago today (April 23rd), I was in the hospital for the kidney donation surgery. That was such a long day (as my friends can attest since they were in the hospital the entire day). It was also a seemingly long recovery time. But, here we are one year later and things are definitely better. My mom is doing excellently with the kidney I donated. I’m all healed up now from that as well as the hernia they repaired during the donation surgery. So it all worked out. I’m incredibly thankful that it did and that my mom is infinitely better than she was. Despite the pain and such from having such a major surgery, I definitely am glad that I could do it and that I did do it. I’m thankful to God that my mom is better. I’m thankful to my friends for being there that day and supporting me and my parents. I’m just immensely happy that I’m here a whole year later and that things are doing really well.

Work has been going well, too. I do like working, that’s for sure. I’ve been learning a lot and I’ve been able to put myself to use and it’s good. I also work with good people which is always something you want. Hopefully things can continue to go well and I can continue to grow in this field.

I’ve also been realizing of late that it’s probably about time I go back to school and finally complete it. I haven’t taken a class since before the surgery. Wow it’s been a long time. So I’m trying to look into online courses so I can complete my degree without having to do too much time in a physical classroom. Hopefully I’ll find something so I can go and do that in the Summer or the Fall.

Random Things:

• I’m probably the happiest and emotionally calm I’ve been in months right now. I guess time heals things like that. 
• I’ve seen this woman on the train twice a month apart and I keep wanting to talk with her, but I haven’t gotten the opportunity to. I’m hoping I’ll see her again at some point. I’m terrible at just randomly talking to people and I’m sure the last thing someone on a train wants is some random dude trying to chat with them, but I don’t know. I feel like I should try. Haha yeah, I’ll probably never see her again if I had to guess.
• I’m a bit bummed I missed Christina Perri when she was here a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty much just going to go by myself, but then I just didn’t. I should have, though. Bah, next time!
• Speaking of Christina Perri, one of her new songs is constantly in my heads. It’s called Burning Gold:
