Saturday Morning

So far I've not been able to dig myself out of my funk. I had a really good meeting with my therapist yesterday, she really helped me to see what has been causing stress in my life (Everything!), and how to better deal with it.

I think I'm starting my Saturday off well. I slept like a baby, woke up at 8:30 refreshed. I layed in bed for a while, tooling on the internet. Then I got my stationary and set about writing thank you cards to my considerate well wishers. After finishing my letters, my belly began to grumble so I got up and made the best breakfast ever. It is sitting (eaten) on my breakfast tray beside me in bed. What was on it? A french press full of steaming hot coffee. Two slices of whole grain toast, very crispy. One local peach (picked yesterday), sliced into quarters. A small bowl of Greek yogurt, drizzled with honey. All ate leisurly, while playing Scrabble on Facebook and watching 'Lost'.

I have a third date with Lyndon today. I really, honestly don't know how I feel about him. I didn't really want to even go on a third date, but when he proposed we go to the zoo today, well, I couldn't resist! It sounded fun! I figure anyone who asks a girl to go to the zoo for a third date can't be all bad. So he gets another opportunity.

School starts Monday. This is excellent, I'm ready.

I want to quit my library job, I cannot tolerate my boss any longer. He is a doormat, who readily accepts responsibility for everything that goes wrong, whether its his fault or not. He does more than he should, and not in a good way. He takes all this fault and responsibility and anxiety, and floods it onto me. He is a terrible leader and a ridiculous man. This job has become toxic, and now that the busy time is over, leading up to the beginning of the school year, I think its time for me to flip him the bird and get on with my life.

I will start going to the gym once school starts and I have access to the school's gym. I like it there, and additionally I'll be taking a Beginning Swimming class that I hope will be a help to me. I really want to be more comfortable in the water and able to swim laps for exercise! I also want to find out about free classes offered there, aerobics, pilates, etc.

I haven't done laundry for almost two weeks. That is disgusting. During August in Kentucky, one must do laundry every other day it seems, clothes get so sweaty and gross! Plus with dogsitting, all my clothes get covered in dog hair and dander! Extra gross! What's wrong with me?? I don't even want to talk about how long it has been since I cleaned my apartment. I MUST commit to cleaning this place up this weekend before school starts. I will have no chance of cleaning it during the semester!

mil besos.

About Me

My photo
I would be remiss if I didn't extend my gratitude to the Fulbright program for this jaw-dropping opportunity, as well as to the Honors Department at the University of Louisville, for its hard work in ensuring my selection as an English Teaching Assistant to Oman for the 2012-2013 year. My brief bio - Born and raised in Amboy, WA, I attended Clark College in Vancouver, before going on to the University of Washington in Seattle where I earned a BFA in Fine Arts - Oil Painting in 2004. I then attended USMC Officer Candidate's School, and accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the summer of 2005. I served for four years as a logistics officer, stationed in Camp Lejeune and deployed worldwide. After the conclusion of my commission, I moved to Louisville, KY where I attended the University of Louisville, achieving a BA in Art History and a minor in Middle East and Islamic Studies.
