I had an odd situation happen at work 2 weeks in a row and I reported it today. It makes me a little nervous, so I'm feeling antsy and my stomach is flippy.  :?

During my lunch break I started watching Nurse Jackie. I can't wait for lunch each day so I can keep watching!

I loved that show!

I lost a medical bill. It's the first one so I will just wait for them to send me another one in 30 days. /lazy

I have discovered podcasts. I have been listening in the morning. Mainly to a self help one.

I have deleted my online dating app. I'm not the best version of myself right now and have no business dating. I'm really proud of myself for recognizing this.

I'm still on such a high from my week. I only got about four hours of sleep last night, but I'm wide awake and continuing to be crazy productive at work. I'm just waiting for the crash and burn hahah. I've had about 4 hours of sleep per night and traveling across time zones.

I am struggling with teacher burnout. Literally. I feel so tired all the time and for the summer I work at a preschool. But lately I've been feeling so tired of my work. I want a career change but I'm scared to make that happen. I feel like I don't have many transferable skills and I'm not sure what I want to do and I have bills to pay. Im feeling stuck.

Thanks for letting me vent.

You should be proud, that's a great step to healing properly and gaining awesome self-awareness! Great job!

@pdx18, I would still be floating, too, lol!

Eureka1984, it is hard, I feel in a similar spot. I hope something comes along for you to get you in a more fulfilling career. Change is scary and the thought of failure is daunting, but lately I've been listening to stuff about failure and reading about conquering fear and I think it's helping me. I feel much closer to taking a leap into the unknown than I did a month ago.

My sister ended up working retail for two years before changing school districts due to burn out. My company will basically hire based on education OR experience. So you either have x amount of experience or a bachelor's. 

By teaching you have office admin skills already. You have leadership skills. You can adapt to situations. I'd just start perusing. Maybe explore going back to school and living on a part time job and student loans?

Hope everything goes smoothly glitzyglow. I'm home sick today with a migraine. I slept a lot and now I'm just being lazy on the couch watching tv.

I'm hoping my eh+ guy calls tonight, he said he would this week at some point, but it was a busy week for both of us.

[stephreloaded]

glitzyglow I hope the issue is dealt with soon. Here, we can report things but it takes a very very long time for anything to happen.

I have been working out all week and feel great except for the fact that I feel so sleepy that I could take a nap. DD had her last tennis session of the semester yesterday as she is leaving for her dad's. Her trainer told me, Ok, so she leaves but you need to come and train on Saturdays and Sundays at least while she is away so I am doing that. I am scared because I'm too fat to last 30 min let alone a 90 min class. I know this is really petty but I don't have much to wear. All my tennis clothes are from 25 lbs ago.

Today is my Friday. Again. I'm trying to decide if I want to actually make something for myself for dinner tonight, or just eat some ice-cream.

I re-hid my pof profile. Not only was I getting tired of the "Hi" messages, I have been so busy with DDs and getting my house together that I just don't think I really have the time to commit to finding someone, messaging them, and then following up with going out. Plus, I'm at the heaviest I've been in a while and I really want to get myself in shape so I feel better about how I look. THEN, I can work on meeting someone. Right now I'm ok with not having an SO.

Thanks doglove and stephreloaded. My boss and another higher up moved quickly, which I'm glad for, but I'm frustrated that my safety was potentially compromised and still could be in the future because of this incident. My boss is lighting fires right now and the person we really need to talk with is out-of-town, but I'm thankful to have a such a great, responsive boss on my side.

H just texted me that he went to an AA meeting today then got drunk. Says hes broken. Super.

I'm filing for divorce tomorrow. Asshole.

Any thing I should know/do before I file?

My friends are playing PDX tomorrow. Their show tonight sold out in 45 minutes!

DD is writing a book that started as a short story.

Ask a friend to lunch/dinner/drinks to celebrate starting a new chapter in your life!

Good riddance to old rubbish. I mean, I'm sorry. But for real. You will flourish when he's out of the picture.

Thank him for confirming that you made the right choice (but only to yourself).
