How's everyone doing today? I'm back at work after a couple of days off and ugh. My out of state license for work came through!!! J is still submitting his stuff and will look seriously once we have a confirmed area of my future position. I'm excited and I'm really hoping to find a job asap so we can get outta here and start our next chapter. I'm so ready.

Congrats on the license @blueyes623 !

My ankle is severely sprained and I called in yesterday to give it a day of rest which got me in a bit of trouble since I have been out for almost 2 weeks. I am thinking of making an appointment with my therapist to sort out my feelings for the boy back in Dallas. I don't get feelings very easily, so I feel like I should listen to them, but my brain tells me that probably isn't a good idea. I hate having the feels right now.

TR what concert?

[gozf]

I am so exhausted. I went out last night, and it was fun, but I am beat right now!

I went because I was happy to be invited, and I really like this group of girls. I'm the only one who works a 9-5, though, and we didn't meet up until 8:30 last night, and at 11:30, I was the first to leave.

I am officially too old for this.

It's my mom's 70th birthday today. I'm taking her to tea on Saturday, but got up super early this morning to get her, her favorite doughnut and coffee, then drovve 45 minutes to deliver it to her and suprise her. She was so excited. Thank god I finally didn't screw up her birthday (she's never satisfied).

But now I am super sleepy and just want to take a nap.

@blueyes623 exciting stuff!

TR I think I have the same cold. so annoying.

@pdx18 that was so nice of you! happy bday to your mom.

I'm procrastinating instead of doing work. And I need to get stuff done because my sister is going to be in the area this weekend which I'm ridiculously excited about. I'm so glad to be done with my race, I've decided I'm going to focus on doing more yoga and swimming and I think I'm going to try to do some weights too. Today is a rest day though, so that'll all start tomorrow. :-P

chocolatepickle it is so hard, but just do it. Once you get the ball rolling and get the process started, you will feel so much better. The faster it's done, the less time you need to think about it.

Day #2 of sinus misery. The pressure is awful despite me taking medicine for it.

I initially swore off online dating for the rest of the year, but the book I'm reading about online dating makes me want to give it a go (for the 1000th time). I figure I can give her tips a try.

I should be working very hard but I'm pretty over it today.

Maybe this is a confession, but since I joined online dating a little over a week ago, I have gone on 3 dates, and I have another tonight, a maybe for Thursday, and one lined up for Sunday. 

All of them so far have seemed like fairly normal guys! None of them felt like an immediate connection, but I would see any of them again to see if a connection develops. It has been a pretty positive experience, so far! Although, if a connection doesn't develop, I'm not looking forward to telling a nice guy that I'm not interested in seeing him anymore. I'm still battling my people-pleaser tendencies.

If any of these dates is going to be a disaster, I think it will be tonight's. I found out after I had connected with a guy that we had a common acquaintance, and she didn't have positive things to say. But it's just coffee, so I decided to go anyway.

It's been a great day! I made my 2015 goal on Monday and found out today that I'll be promoted to assistant branch manager once I pass the series 9/10 so I get to begin studying again-that part isn't fun but the end result will be!

I've been sewing. I haven't used a sewing machine since 1989!

Today has been out of the ordinary. I dropped my daughter of this morning to spend time with her dad, since it is a teacher conference week she'll be there five days. Tonight I attended a dinner/discussion with Frank abagnale re: identity theft/screening of catch me if you can. Now I am at a bar alone listening to some bands and enjoying a beer.

That sounds amazing! I read catch me if you can by choice in 7th grade long before the movie came out and was fascinated.
