Re: Friday Confessions/Vents/AW's
Just two (related) confessions:
I've been back from vacation for two weeks and I haven't gotten myself motivated to work out even once. Even though pre-vacation I worked out 3-5 times a week and I have felt yucky from not working out.
I desperately want to go back on vacation. I know you're supposed to be refreshed but coming back to a really hectic work and cold weather has me constantly thinking about and pre-planning another vacation.
Vents: My new job has been so stressful that I think it is making physically ill. I like the job and my new co-workers, but I hope next week is less stress.
AW: My DH traveled for work all week and brought me back a box of all different kinds of chocolate covered caramels from a small town candy shop. They had the box all wrapped up; it was so cute! He also picked up my favorite on the go coffee packets. It made my week!
Confession: i don't like capital letters. they look mean.
Vent: Today was my last day at my first school (making Wednesday my first day at new school, 2 days for quarter break) and I'm terrified to go to my new school. The school I'm leaving is easily the best.job.i.have.ever.had and it's going to be hard to not let my feelings get in the way of enjoying new school. Even though the subject I am teaching is way better than old school.
Vent the second: Someone has been preapproved to adopt our foster dog, and while I'm SUPER happy for her, I just want to cry about the whole thing. She's come SO FAR while she's been with us.
Vent the third: My bio-dad got thrown in jail TWICE this week for something I don't really know about (and don't care) and he keeps calling me because my husband is a lawyer (though in a dif. state) and wanting advice. We've refused and stopped answering the phone. Go back to your alcohol sodden life, you prick.
AW: I got nothing. I'm NOT pregnant, which is totally awesome for me?
Congrats Steph!
I only have vents today.
1. DH is on my last nerve. He has been an annoying baby since starting his new job. He hates it and that is all I hear about and he is constantly in a poor mood. Also, we knew it was seasonal when he was hired on, but we thought it would be for 4 months. He learned yesterday that his last day is likely 12/16. That was a tough blow to take. I don't know what we are going to do.
2. I HATE the Humane Society's new policies that are going into affect on Monday. I think it is going to backfire horribly and only solve their issues. I can already see people just dropping their pets off in a field or euthanizing.
my read shelf:
Confession: I just started Christmas shopping. Yikes!
Vent: My new job is not going well at all. It's starting to impact my mental health and that is no good.
AW: My wedding officiant business is really taking off. I am super excited about it and proud of myself all at the same time. I am going to do my first wedding fair as a vendor next weekend. All my promotional materials I designed came in the mail yesterday and they are cute, cute, cute.
Confession: I have gained like 15 pounds in the last year and I feel disgusting, but I can't get myself motivated enough to stop eating crap and lose the weight. It is a vicious cycle....I feel gross, so I get stressed, so I eat. UGH!
Vent: This week was shittacular. The election was a blood-bath so everything job-wise that I was feeling confident about after the campaign is now completely out the window. My job prospects have been significantly decreased, and I am scared to death about our financial situation now that I am unemployed.
AW: Dh finally got a contingent job offer, after a year of unemployment. The job is contingent so it could still fall through, but it is a step in the right direction. ALSO, I get to go to Denver next weekend to visit a friend and I am really excited for the break.
