I AM SPARTACUS

Life is taking a slight turn. My roommate is currently getting her master's degree in professional/school counseling. She says I'm having an early mid-life transition (aka midlife crisis). Because I am so confused, I have decided to agree. My life was consumed with volunteer work up until June/July.

I was fostering dogs. I still seem to have more than just four dogs in my house, but I'm not officially fostering anymore. Right now I have a gorgeous eleven-year-old German Shepherd. His name is Spartacus. He is looking for a home. Interested?

I was working as a hotline/hospital crisis volunteer for a sexual assault center. The work I did there was almost more aggravating than rewarding. I know that not all volunteer work is meant to be rewarding, but I didn't really feel like I was helping anyone. I had an extremely negative experience with an ER doctor and since then I have just felt a little useless.

I am currently a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). I would love to vent about this, but unfortunately I'm not supposed to. I will just say that I feel like the system is keeping me from doing anything helpful or useful.

I pretty much feel useless all around. I know this is turning into a "poor me" post, but I am just trying to explain where my early onset midlife-transition is coming from.

Anyway...I am currently trying to "find myself." I have no idea how I am going to go about doing that.
