Kaitlyn and I crafted up a storm from noon until 330am, we got so much accomplished. I am not going to post pictures until after the wedding because Lauryn is actually a member of MFP and I don't want her to see anything as we worked on the Bridal Party gifts. I love how they turned out though and can't wait to share. Kaitlyn left our house at 337am, I waited up for her to text me that she was home safe and sound and then I went to bed. I slept from about 430 to 845 and then walked over to the interview.
I think this job would be right up my alley, it's about a 10 minute walk, in the right shoes. In my dress shoes it was about 12 on the way there and on the way back about 22 because I got a blister. I had originally applied for the Office Coordinator position but when they called me on Friday told me it would be for the Admin Assistant position. Today when I got there I found out I was interviewing for the Coordinator position after all. I think one thing that might set me apart from others is that I know DOS. She said that some of the younger people don't even know what that is, but some of their programs are still DOS based.

I came home from the interview made a tea and some toast and eggs, but think I'm going to go for a nap. I'm tired and the kids come tonight for supper. I may just curl up on the couch so that I get some rest, but my body won't think it's bedtime.

Yesterday started really rough, so I decided to leave work early and go for a bike ride. I realized when I got home that I had forgotten my morning meds which can account for some of the cruddy morning. Anyway, I changed, grabbed some water bottles and loaded up my bike, pump & shoes. My confidence, much like my speed, isn't what it used to be so I went to a bike trail rather than riding on the road. My plan was to ride easy and just try to take in the beauty around me. Unfortunately, that just isn't my thing. I like to ride hard and fast. It's very frustrating actually, because it's hard for me to push my body like I used to and with the extra weight and lack of time in the saddle my cadence and pace have dropped. None of this is surprising or really even that unusually, but it still kind of pisses me off. Still, I felt better after my ride. My plan was to ride 30 miles and I hoped to average over 15 mph. I did 22.55 miles and averaged 16 mph, that includes slow sections due to foot traffic on the trail. I would have ridden longer, but I didn't want to be late for dinner since the kiddo was cooking.

My mood is still in what I'd consider a normal range which is up from where it has been for a while now. I need to make this time for me in the midst of all the crazy things in my life. If I can just get the confidence back, I will be very happy. The speed will come later.

Meeting with new therapist today. Well, I met with him as part of hubby's session, but this will be my first time alone. It's kind of intimidating because I know Mike outside of this. I've ridden bikes with him in the past. I'd usually not do this, but I felt comfortable with him last time. I hope he doesn't think less of me because of this. I think I'm more nervous that one of the ladies that works in the office is the mother of one of my daughter's friends. Its very awkward and quite frankly terrifying, but I don't think she reads the charts. I hope this ends up being a good fit because I don't think I can tell my background story too many more times without just breaking inside.


Positive thought for the day: I have a family that supports me and loves me even when I don't deserve it. Actually, love is a gift that is granted, not something that can be earned.

Peace Y'all. Love Ya!
