Quinn had a vet apointment at 3:15. Here it is after 4:00 and we are still waiting. It's just a check-up It's very rare that we have to wait when coming here. Employees have changed though and I miss the old ones. It's also FREEZING in here. Quinn gets so stressed being here and this waiting is killing her and breaking my heart. Someone else has just come and gone since we've been back. Ugh. Noone has even been in our room. |

So I started a new job Monday. It's at Eyes For You doing front desk and receptionist stuff. It's really pretty easy. They keep acting like it takes people forever to learn how to do this job. The first day I was answering the phone, scheduling appointments, and taking payments. I know there is more to learn, but I already feel like I'm getting it down and it's all pretty easy. I think I might run a risk of becoming bored with it pretty fast. Which is OK because they have also talked about I could learn the Eye Tech stuff and move to that from the front desk. I could quite possibly be interested in that. We'll see. Kinda want to get settled there and make sure I even like working there before I think about the chance of advancement, but at least I know I don't have to sit still if I don't want to. Other than that nothing much going on in the land of Laura. |

Here's an article I found this morning. It amused me. I highlighted my favorite part. Official orders goats released from jailDeputy Justice Minister Claude Nyamugabo said he ordered the goats freed after finding them in the lockup during a routine visit, the BBC reported Wednesday. Nyamugabo said police officers had planned to bring the goats, which had been sold illegally at the side of the road, to court. He said the officers will be sent for retraining. However, Nyamugabo did not say what would become of the owners of the goats, who were arrested along with their herd.

Your horoscope for August 29, 2008 Something has to change, Laura . You knew it as soon as you woke up this morning. Your mirror provides the springboard for some important resolutions today. Is it time to begin a diet, make a commitment to exercise more, or strengthen your resolve to quit smoking? Anything you do to improve your appearance will make you feel a lot better about yourself. Buy some new clothes, or go get a haircut! Other people will notice, too! I have been so horrible lately at taking care of myself it's just not even cool. I just recently bought some new clothes and I already got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago...guess I got to start on the rest.

…but why shouldn’t I be. I have a job. It doesn’t pay what it should and I’m not 100% happy, but so many people don’t have jobs and can’t find one, I still think it’s a positive to have one. I have hands down THE BEST HUSBAND I could have ever asked for. He does so much for me everyday and puts up with so much of my craziness. Nothing to complain about there. I love my house. It’s not as clean as I want it to be and there are so many projects I want to tackle, but all in all…it’s a great house and in a good neighborhood. My doggies love me SO much. I have friends and family that are great! I have so much to be thankful for, but yet so much weighs me down. It’s starting to affect me greatly. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in months, even if I sleep through the night I wake up feeling like I haven’t slept at all. How tired do you have to get before your body finally just crashes? I feel like I have been at that point for weeks now. I feel like I am about to crash every minute of every day. My neck, back, and shoulders stay sore. This next thing is hard to admit and quite embarrassing…I am up at least 10 pounds from where I was this time last year. I haven’t quit going to my WW meetings, but I have quit being a Weight Watcher. This past week or two have been exceptionally horrible and I dread getting on the scale Thursday night. People keep saying things about it’s OK that I’m up a bit because I’m still not where I was. But isn’t this how it starts, 10 pounds here and 5 pounds there? It all adds up. How long is it OK that I haven’t been doing what I should to get/keep myself healthy? I have no motivation to do the things I want to do. Like all the before mentioned projects around the house. Like exercising and being out doors. Like going to a movie with my husband. In my head are several thoughts about what I want to do and when to do them. When it comes times my brain shuts down and I don’t want to do anything. It is driving my insane. Right now all I really want to do is hang my head and cry.

Well, the new office manager started Monday. She conducted all the interviews for the people who applied to stay with the group & that does include me. She said she hopes to let us know by Friday who has security and who does not. I did let her know about how I feel and that I get frustrated and stressed. I don't think my job resposibilities would change so much that I wouldn't have to still deal with that stuff. Although I did let her know I had had an interest in becoming a certified coder while I had been in school. She did say it would be handy to have one in the office. So maybe things could change down the road. Plus, I already mentioned to one of the doctors that I was interested and he made comments that lead me to believe he would pay for it. That would be sweet since I've been told that just the test is around $300. So anyway, I'm gonna try and toughen my skin and stick this out for a bit. Especially if I could be a coder. They can make serious money and it can be done from home in certain circumstances.

I'm so over this job. I really like the paperwork aspect of it, but I can't handle talking to ins companies over and over about the same damn problem for a different, but yet sometimes the same, patient. Also, having to call these elderly patients and ask when they are going to pay their bill. Then I get to hear all about them being on a fixed income or they just got out of the hospital or there are just too many doctor's bills to keep up with. I just don't think I have thick enough skin for this job. I leave work everyday feeling so empty inside. This is not my bliss. I really don't have any reason to leave though. I like everybody and I'm only 5 minutes from home. We are going through a lot of changes with the doctors spliting into different practices. Who will ultimately be my new office manager starts next week. I keep telling myself to hang in there until the split is complete. Maybe somethings will change, I doubt it but they might. That's not until June 9th or so and I'm not sure I can mentally take it much longer. I'm eating way more than I should be and I know it's emotional eating, stress and depression are a bitch. Thanks for listening.

I didn't know too much music by him, but what I know I love. His voice always captivated me for those couple of minutes. http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/1 |

A couple of weeks ago I started to go to a yoga class with a new friend of mine. Turns out that I love yoga more than I ever thought I did while doing it at home. I'm no where close to being good at it, but yet I feel that I am really good at it...my body just isn't quite there yet. The teacher is wonderfully wonderful! My friend & her friend have been going for quite some time now and it makes me feel more comfortable being there with them. I am so happy they have let me join them. They are not going to be there next week so now I get to go on mine own. I don't want to miss a class this early into it. I also have started working out at the gym that is at my work. That is not fun though. I know after a while once I get used to the machines and all, it will get better. It will never be fun though. It might make me feel good once I'm done, but it will never make me feel about myself the way I feel when I get home from a yoga class. Bowling has also started back up. I have mixed emotions about it. Mostly I think it is just the fact that it started the same week I started yoga & the gym. Now I feel like I don't have any free time. I do, I just don't feel like it. Maybe in a couple of weeks things will feel more settled. Who knows. That's it for now...job is fine, dogs are fine, husband is fine. |

I went skating at my niece's b-day about a month ago and it made me realize how much I really like to skate. Sunday we went for my best friend's b-day and again I had so much fun! Micah and I got to talking about it and decided to buy some skates. I have kinda been looking at some new roller skates since Cassie's b-day. Well, I couldn't find any that I felt were just me. Yesterday at Cordova Skate I saw this pair of inline skates that support Breast Cancer Awareness.  So they struck me, but I have never tried that before. I always roller skate not roller blade. Micah found him some at Sports Authority that he really liked too. We went and bought them after work and went to Shelby Farms. I think it may have been more of a work out to put them on than anything else. I didn't feel to comfortable at first...infact, I was quite scared. Then I just decided to go for it and had so much fun!!! Until the weakness of my ankle kicked in that is. I have never sprained my ankle or anything but it tends to get sore rather easily. It's also just my right one, not my left. Before I always thought it was my weight, but it still happens just as often so I don't really know. Anyway about 5-10 minutes into it was hurting really bad. So we stopped for a break on a bench and went back the way we came. Not alot of rollerblading was done, but I broke a sweat and found out I know how to do it. YAY for no falling down!!!

Insights that come to you from deep within your unconscious mind could prove invaluable to you with regard to career interests, LAURA. Write them down - you won't want them to all disappear by next week. This is a pivotal time for you, and you might be facing some heavy changes that sometimes feel like more than you can bear. However, you can! Just try to push through the most difficult obstacles and move on ahead.

IMAC finally called and offered me a job. It's not phones though...it's a billing rep. position. I'm so excited about it. I am startng Monday. I'm going to miss where I am. The people are nice and fun. The atmosphere is real laid back. I'm going to more stress but it's what I really want to do in the long run, so why not get started now. I'm replacing a girl there that I was really looking forward to working with and getting to know better. Yay for myspace, we will be able to stay in touch. Plus, she's moving to Reno and I'll be there for a bowling tournament in June. I hope to hang with her then! I'm really jazzed about this opportunity. I feel like my life is finally getting going and I'm ready to settle into a routine and feel productive with myself and my career and home and everything. YAY
