Thursday things!

[Deleted]

Hi! It's my last day at work in NY!!! It's so weird!!!! I can't believe it's actually happening. It's exciting and scary and bittersweet. This was my first job upon graduation and it's been nearly 10 years. So much has changed in my life during the course of time. I really appreciate all of the support I've gotten here (and ML) with regard to my relocation!!! I can't believe it's really here!!!!!

I actually slept and woke up on time. Smoothie is made and I'm about to get S out of bed and take her to her dad's. My parents are still being hard on me about watching S 3 hours a day and they take my ex's shortcomings as a father out on me. I'm over it.

Random thought of the day, no matter how much fruit you blend with kale, it's still gross.

I keep thinking today is Friday!

I'm seeing the pseudo-bf tonight, and I'm going to initiate the conversation about the status of our relationship, and where it is/isn't going. I'm nervous.

You will be fine! Read the "chill" article posted yesterday for support!

I did! And I felt like it was written just for me, haha.

But it really did make me feel better about all of this, and so...I'm going for it.

mp sent me an article about a beer company that is hiring interns this summer to tour breweries around the world. I am sorely tempted, as I have no reason not to...except that I don't have a compelling reason to say "PICK ME!"

I hope it goes well and you get something YOU are comfortable with. (Even if I or anyone else here would not be comfy, it's about YOUR level of comfort.)

I have a first date tonight and I'm trying to keep myself from getting nervous. Then I have another first date next Monday.

[glynn]

Have a 3PM phone appointment with Lawyer... H finally sent a settlement offer over and it is frustrating.

H has DD2 from 3/20 until 3/28 and he texted me yesterday to keep her Firday AM until Saturday AM. I have off so I would love to but he was the one fighting for more time then he is not keeping her the whole time he fought for. UGH... When I get the divorce done I AM going to start going out and he is going to be disappointed that I can't keep her at a moments notice. He showed up at work Monday and Tuesday of the week also after I had seen them Monday morning at a DR appointment.

mommadukes I woke up on Tuesday so sure that it was Thur!

I am thinking about going to Epcot by myself on Friday night. That would be such a huge step for me as crowds give me anxiety, and I have never done anything like that alone. I went last week and the Flower and Garden Festival is seriously gorgeous, but the people I was with were hot and tired, so we didn't see everything. They have special food kiosks set up in each country with yummy food, so I can eat dinner, see the flowers, catch the fireworks, and head home, it sounds like a nice relaxing night for me.

I don't post much but need to get this out. My STBX is taking the kids today through Saturday and will have 4-5 hours of alone time with them before his sister shows up and I'm about ready to crawl out of my skin I'm so nervous. He hasn't been allowed alone with them since he went to rehab in November and he really hasn't done anything to prove to me he's worthy and capable. But it sounds like he really is trying to get his shit together and I feel like by extending this olive branch, hopefully he will be more agreeable to the settlement proposal. They will be with other relatives whom I trust the rest of the weekend, it's just the few hours today that give me pause. Being an adult is hard

I would so do this myself! sometimes it's just easier to do things alone and not have to worry about others

I liked the "No Chill?" article from yesterday. My quote on my match profile is "I'm less Netflix & Chill and More Hulu & Commitment." I didn't make the quote up but it made me laugh. The guy I am seeing tonight actually noted in his first email to me that he has a Hulu account.

I have been so busy this week. I made a list of everything I needed to get done this week at work since it's a short week for me and I surprised myself by finishing it up this morning, so at least the rest of my work day today is relatively easy. After work I'm meeting a friend for dinner, then once I get home I need to start packing because I'm leaving in the AM for a weekend trip. I'll get back Sunday night and I plan to be lazy, lazy, lazy on Monday...thank goodness I have a recovery day in there!

My roommate surprised me with Cadbury mini eggs! I meant to bring a few to work to eat as dessert after lunch but I forgot them.

Storms are forecasted today. I always get jumpy during storms, so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for them.

I have a date tomorrow! I'm a little hesitant because he is moving an hour away from me.

Today is my Friday!! Bring on the weekend!

pantsoffdanceoff I love that quote, cute but gets a point across.

[sweetchix]

I've been chatting with a guy I went to school with, I may have mentioned him before but I'm not sure. While he's not someone I'd normally be drawn to, physically, our conversations have been great. He was kind of a wild child back then, but I would like to think he's changed in the past 20 years.

I'm still exhausted from my trip. I haven't had much downtime at my house and I have a meeting after work today. This weekend I'm locking myself away from everyone except my dogs and Netflix.

Last day of hanging with my sister and my nephew. I'm sad but it'll be nice to get back to my west coast life too. Tomorrow on my flight home I need to write like crazy. I'm kind of nervous about it because usually I don't work like that.

I love the comment from your date, he obviously read your profile!
