Tomorrow, tomorrow ...

Orientation in the morning. It's not the biggest deal, but enough to make me jittery. Hope I can sleep tonight. No real clue what to expect at this point.

Wish me luck, or something.

And stop asking if I get a discount.

Ob-la-di ob-la-da Life Goes On...

Had today off... disorienting, at best. Tomorrow kids go back to school and I get myself pulled back together. On Wednesday I start my new job - orientation. I'm excited. Still figuring out my head, but still have more clarity than I've had in years.

My cell phone - a loverly Samsung Google Nexus S - died today. Puppies were playing and knocked my coffee over onto it. Ugh. So it is sitting in rice now. We shall see if it starts tomorrow. I hope it does. I like that phone. Although my beloved actually *cheered* when he heard that it wasn't working. It's okay though - it's just a phone.

We have snow. Winter is finally here as it should be. And for that I'm grateful. I like winter.

So one day ends and the next is about to begin, and life continues marching along. And I'm marching along with it.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...

In the last two weeks my life has flip-flopped yet again. Normally I'd panic. Okay, so I did panic, briefly. But then I got over that. And you know what? I feel better than ever about myself.

For the first time in a long time, things make sense. When things make sense, I'm able to focus on what's important. Even better - I figured out what's really important to me.

I'm setting goals and re-evaluating where I am in life, where I want to be, and what I need to get there. I'm gonna do it.

I've already lost almost 8lbs in two weeks. My stress levels are down. Energy is up. 

I start a new job on Wednesday. I'm going to be on my feet again, moving while I work. Which means I'm more likely to stay fit. AND the new job is in a field I adore - crafts. I'm working for Joann Fabrics' new store, doing the setup and (hopefully) continuing when the store opens in February. So it's retail plus craft stuff. Woot!

I'm hoping it all works out. I have some big time goals and dreams this year. They will come true. It's amazing what a confidence boost can do for you. And this time, it's coming from within.
