I have caught another cold from my allergies. I'm putting off my tonsils until school lets out in June because I need time extra time to rest. It's beautiful here. I can't wait for the weekend!

I need to return my fitbit today because it just decided to stop working. I contacted customer support and they tried to help, but no dice. I was worried because I didn't have the box anymore but I called Target and since I purchased with my red card they will exchange it for a new one. Yay for good customer service from Target AND Fitbit!
I got one of my etsy orders last night and it is the cutest rolled rose gold hummingbird necklace. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Getting caught up on work. Almost through my list!
Might be ordering another ON dress today (got the shift dress in black & grey, might order the striped one). Now I need some shoes and a jean jacket/scarf to go with them.
Will probably buy my one day pass to bunbury too, definitely buying my ticket to another show.

I FINALLY feel like I am almost over whatever this is....after a week and a half. Ugh. On the bright side, I can now do my laundry without flooding my laundry room. $185 to put in a new pipe above ground. I'll take it.

I'm kinda excited about today. When I first got married I immediately moved 3 states away from everyone I knew to South Carolina, where xH was going to extra navy schools. While there, I was befriended by 3 guys from his class who were all hilarious and kind and put up with xH so that I could have people to hang out with. Even after we all moved to different places, they've all been really supportive through everything.
I got a message a few days ago that two of them are going to be here, from Japan, training this week and would I want to hang out? Uh, yes!
So today I'm taking a half day in order to facilitate a ton of mexifood and margaritas and catching up.
Apparently when I go to bed before 11 I wake up before 4. Fml.
I wish I could skip Easter with my family. There will be drama because there always is, and I just don't have the mental or emotional capacity to handle more stress right now. Work is pretty close to kicking my ass, like I can feel the flood waters rising against the levy, and I just don't want to take shit on Sunday (which is also my favorite day of the week to be off). I wish I'd have lied and said I have to work.
To build on this, I'm drafting an email to my boss this morning to make a case for what I think is the best solution to our staffing issues at work. My team is suffering and I am suffering and all of my peers are suffering because we are understaffed, and our company's Marketing dept. doesn't like the idea of hanging a "Join our team!" sign in the storefront. Clearly this is bullshit. This is also why I can't go back to sleep. Fucking Marketing.
I finally got a good night of sleep. Just found out this morning Garth Brooks will be in town in June, tickets go on sale April 10th. I am sure they will be so hard to get, but I am going to try.
Going on a 15-20 mile bike ride tonight, first longer ride on the new bike, I am sure my ass and lady parts will hate me tomorrow.

I feel so tired and it's only Tuesday. I did work 13 hours yesterday but I have off from tomorrow until Monday so I am planning to sleep a lot during that break.
So, my divorce hearing was yesterday. It took all of 5 minutes once the judge called my lawyer up to the bench. She'll have to write up some stuff, I'll have to sign it, and then it will be official!! I'm going to be divorced!! I get 100% sole physical and legal custody. The judge is still going to grant stbxh supervised visitation, but since the family services center probably won't deal with him again, he'll have to go back and file something with the court, which he won't be able to afford. I am SOOOO relieved!
Today is my grandma's 93rd birthday! I'm so excited to celebrate with her and the fam! We're going out to a fancy steak dinner. NOM! The date from Sunday asked me out for Friday. I'm cautiously excited, but I did feel a good mix of comfortable and attracted to him.

a friend of a friend is having problems w/ algebra and is taking classes to be a medical assistant. she can't seem to understand WHY this class is so important :/ she's been complaining about this class non stop ... I want to help her but I've got to resist the urge to be snarky ?!? about it. its basic algebra, not rocket science.
the fact that she's going to one of those 'for profit' colleges to get this medical assistant training is making me give her the side eye. the same program at a cheaper cost is offered through a local JC but she wanted to do it all online .... grrrr
So tired. But a run and chai tea latte helped. I just realized that Sunday is Easter. I should find something to do. I don't celebrate the religious aspect so maybe I'll just go on a hike.

I went on a 2.5 mile walk and then grabbed a sandwich for lunch from a bagel place. I work my retail job tonight. If my roommate doesn't have to work, we are going to go out afterward.
I am guessing that I didn't get the job since I haven't heard anything. Damn.

I still haven't heard about that job and only one of my references has been called. She's an awesome reference and a VP of a major university in the field in which I work, so my other two references are like, "They probably got what they needed from her and aren't going to call us." But I'm having a frustrating week and work, so of course I'm like, "Or they changed their minds."
Truth is, I don't know when they planned on interviewing the other finalist and they may have been waiting to do that before calling my other references. Or they may not be calling my other references and are simply waiting on my background check to clear. Lots of scenarios, but I am impatient and want out of here and am really interested in this job so I become a skeptic.

Today I found out who my new boss will be starting this summer - and a huge sigh of relief, it is a better person than anyone I knew had applied. Since I am the only direct report and I just started the job in February this could have been really bad. Yay!
