Unexpected Changes!

Huge life change this past week and decided to terminate employment with Walmart and help my new partner Angela with her life and children. I feel this is a much more rewarding thing to do and one I feel am very good at. Work at Walmart was starting to get very monotonous and recent changes with the new managers. where I have seen a huge lack in managing skills and alack of employees to run an efficient store. I was getting tired of doing the work of many for a tiny paycheck. I did leave in good terms and who knows what the future will bring. I can say I have lead a non "conventional" life. I continue to move on and let life guide me as it has steered me in many unexpected paths and has taken care of me.

Natalia also started school this past Wednesday and to my surprise my ex has been extremely nice. So I know she's on her medications and I soon expect for bad times as usual from her. But I am now more stable and it bothers me less and less every year that goes by. Picked up Natalia on Friday afternoon and everything great. Slowly setting up new routines as I have two other boys to take care off. It has been a surreal week and one full of surprises and the unexpected. So far it has been very long rewarding days for me.

Friday was a nice day as Natalia was with me and Pablo came home. All of us together had another game night. However not many games were played. Next time I expect full participation as it is a tradition I want to maintain. We played a few rounds of the new Lego Minotaur game and Disney HeadBangz. Pablo and I got some good hits on the Lego game. I was a bit disappointed we didn't get it on with the Survive: Escape from Atlantis game on Friday night but Natalia was wanting to play other games and watch a movie.

Another drill weekend and still thinking of going IRR (Individual Ready Reserve) and not have to be present at drill any longer since I am no longer being paid and retirement is a ways away for me. Sadly I was not able to continue to serve in the manner I had intended. Seeing the changes made recently, it is a Navy I no longer want to be part off. However a few members there are convincing me to keep drilling normal and take advantage of opportunities as it seems are easier there with less nonsense to get approved. This administration is really trying to take away the benefits of veterans and cutting careers as to avoid collecting retirement benefits. This drill weekend I saw the retirement of HM2 Zapata as he left out the back door after serving 20 years in the Army and Navy combined. Also the retirement of MMCS Hamilton after 42 years of service and many in a volunteer status. Those are the true heroes nowadays. So far I will continue drilling a month at a time and possibly start volunteering for funeral detail as my new schedule allows for that honorable job.
