Because it's been super slow here.

Fall weather has hit FL and it is beautiful! I spent the weekend reconnecting with myself and I have a bit of a renewed purpose. I'm going to see a new therapist this week on Thursday.

I made a delicious cream of
Crap casserole yesterday. I was surprised it wasn't worse for me than I thought it would be. I fly to DC tomorrow and I'm not really looking forward to it.

I'm having a great day because I checked the online court system, and I am finally DIVORCED! Yay!!!!!!

I'm so fucking happy to finally have this over. Now it's on to the celebration phase! lol

This morning I looked through all of my insurance's mental health providers to find a person who seemed like a good fit for me. I left a message for the one that seems like the best fit and I really hope he has openings for new patients. I look forward to getting back into therapy, especially since I've needed it for a while now.

I might go for a walk at the local park soon. I need to get out of the house and clear my head.

I called to make an appointment with my therapist only to find out she is on an extended leave. The whole reason i saw her before was so we would have an established relationship when I actually had something going on I needed to work through. Tjme to start with someone new again . I feel really overwhelmed with anxiety today and just overall unsettled with life right now.

This week would is our 9 year wedding anniversary over 10 together. I really hope this would be over by now with the holidays approaching..

[glitzyglow]

bl, that is how I'm feeling, too - very unsettled. I don't like it. Big hugs to you!

[jigsy]

I think I am going to stop applying to other jobs right now. I don't love where I am at, but I am about to move into a new role, which might be a good thing, and constantly looking for a new job, and dealing with the rejection when you find something promising and exciting but they don't want you is more depressing than my actual current job.

So, yeah. But one the same topic, does anyone have any ideas on how to tactfully find out how much a position at your company pays. I am moving into a new role, in a new department, and I think I should be paid more for it, but I am not 100% sure what the range is. I have tried glassdoor, but this isn't really a common position, so I haven't been able to find what the "market rate" is. I hate the secrecy of salary information.

I had such a good weekend hanging out with my sister and BIL who were here visiting. There was a petting zoo and horse back riding involved. I'm hoping the positive feelings stick around for the rest of the week.

I don't normally comment....more of a lurker but I have to ask....what is cream of crap?

[1confused1]

Besides kid's games this weekend, we were very lazy, it was so needed.

Now if my xh would leave me alone, I would be a happier person.

[glitzyglow]

The therapist isn't taking new patients.

I'll look for one tomorrow at work. I don't want to use my day off, lol.

Hugs and positive thoughts for both of you. I'm also on the roller coaster of anxiety.

M/S has hit me with a passion.

I have a guest scheduled who was giving me a very bad feeling. I called to ask the service what I could do and it turns out that he signed up with a false name. Hell no. Service is saying that I need a medical note or death certificate to cancel without being pulled from program. Safety is not a reason??? Not happy.

[bl]

Eureka1984 and glitzyglow hugs back at you guys, sucks all of us are struggling with this. Glitzy, hope you are able to find a therapist soon.

My boss just scheduled a 2 hour meeting during lunch on the day that I had my appt with the therapist. If I don't take this appt there isn't another one until the first week of November, which isn't crazy far, but farther than I would like, so either miss the meeting and prob get some shit for it or cancel my appt.

I have a really dumb question. But how do you end a first date when you're not into the guy?

Just say I am tired/need to go/whatever, Give a friendly hug, then leave.

The other party has to know it isn't going well, right?

I second this. Though I'm a little bit more honest. I'll politely say something like I don't want to waste your time.

I just found out that I can find my baby's sex soon and I'm irrationally relieved to know what kind of alien is growing in there!

I could sleep for days right now. And puke, blah.

I always just gave a handshake if I wasn't feeling it. They usually got it.

I only posted something in a Randoms thread so no official announcement. If I ever post something on FB, it won't be until I'm showing. You all are in the few who know! Just my sister and a dear friend otherwise.

I was asked point blank by a friend of a friend because I didn't order a drink the other night. I just played it off. But, I bailed at 10pm on a Saturday - lame! I wanted my pillow, LOL.

So, shhhhhh on FB!  

[MauMau]

Congrats pandora

I'm annoyed. I didn't have enough plain greek yogurt for my smoothie. So I go back and add in the these flavored simply 100 greek yogurts. And they are not thick enough. :/ So I've had a mediocre smoothie.

My "healthy" cat snores like an overweight man. Think chainsaw. Pretty sure she has sleep apnea. It's so bad.

Of course, I'd never peep!  Aww! I hope you feel better, I'm sure you're exhausted.  Very happy for you.

I am right there with ya on the rejection and it being more depressing than the actual job itself! There's something said about being content I guess.

As far as finding out the salary of the new position I'd have a discussion about the increase in duties and responsibilities and say based on your research of the role, you would like to also discuss a pay increase. After that, leave the ball in their court and see what they offer.
