Monday Randoms

I'm sitting here like a crazy person refreshing the Sephora webpage waiting for the "Epic Rewards" to show.

I have another date tomorrow night with the guy that I hooked up with last week. I finally have my groove back! I feel just like Stella!

Other than that not too much happening in my world lately.

It's tough. What type of jealousy? Like, relationship related or general? I had/have jealousy issues too. I've gotten better with it as I've gotten older and into a healthy relationship. But it still rears it's ugly head occasionally and gives me anxiety- for no good reason.
I think it can come from past (bad) experiences, mistrust, low self esteem and I'm sure other things as well. I don't have any really advice, but I guess therapy may help with ways to overcome this type of thing.

It's probably a good first step that you recognize it! I agree with the therapy suggestion.

I'm goi g to the dentist for root canal part 2 tonight. I'm in a fair amount of pain and I think it's abnormal seeing that this was started last Tuesday. I see stars and tear up if I accidentally chew or bite down on the side.

I have an awful sinus infection. It was so awful last week that I called the home visiting service so they sent a Dr. After I was feeling like shit 3 days later and getting no relief, I decided to go to the ER because the pain was unbearable. Turns out the home Dr had prescribed the wrong medicine. I was furious but happy that I could start feeling better. I go back to work on Thursday.

I slept like utter shit last night and cried for the first time in forever over my divorce. It stinks when you think you have emotionally healed to realize how much more hurt there is to deal with.

A happy random - I'm getting a puppy in just 5 weeks. So excited!

After today's class I'll be half done teaching - woohoo! And then meeting a friend to hang out after. I haven't seen her in forever so it'll be good to catch up.

I'm a jealous person. What are you jealous about, though? Like jealousy with your SO? Or like jealous when your friend looks good? Or jealous of someone else's life?

I think everyone gets jealous from time to time. Whenever my friends go on nice vacations I could never afford, I get a twinge of jealousy, but I think it's normal. As long as you don't let it consume you.

Jealous in a relationship-that's a different matter.  I still have moments of irrational jealousy.  I still sometimes have residual issues from being cheated on where I want to know who is texting him.  BUT, I have realized, my jealousy won't make him faithful.  He will either be faithful or he won't.  And if he isn't, I don't want to be with him anyway.  So, he can have female friends and hang out with them when he wants and go out without me.  I'm not going to dig to find out if he is cheating, because I have found that those things ALWAYS come to light.

My lower back is aching and I can't tell if it's 1) because I worked out correctly, 2) because I worked out incorrectly, or 3) because my period is coming. Ibuprofen isn't touching the pain.

I had 5 inches of hair cut off today. It feels marvelous. My stylist and I discussed that in October I'll have more cut off and add lots more blonde. A good way to kick off 30!

Sundays are my cheat days and I went to Sonic and had the most fucking disappointing ice cream treat ever. I ordered the brownie and cookie dough master blast and I kid you not, the only cookie dough was on the top as a garnish and there was no brownie whatsoever. Dairy Queen for fucking EVER. Sonic is dead to me now.

Bracing myself for dd's well kid visit today and the raised eyebrows over her weight, her diet, and sleep habits

I was trying to be good and eat (homemade, healthy) soup and I spilled it all over my hands. ALLLLLLOVERMYHAAAAANDS. OMFG they burn so much. I called my sister (a nurse) and she said the ER probably isn't necessary. So I keep icing and aloe-ing off and on. I hope this is the worst of it.

So for dinner, I had a bunch of oatmeal cookies.
