So much is going on in the world!
Did anyone catch the opening ceremony for the Olympics???? It was awesome! The orcas were, by far, my favorite part. How wonderful! It looked like they were right there in the stadium!
Poor Georgia - my heart broke for them.
School is starting to take over my world again. School and the gym. I've been in hibernation mode for the last few weeks, and it looks likely to continue until April or so. I know that sounds like a long time, but by the time my midterms are over in mid march, it'll be time for my surgery which requires recovery time. So I won't be up for too much socializing.
But then it's spring! So that's a great thing :)
Life is throwing some curve balls my way right now. I hate it when that happens. Makes me want to hibernate.
So far I am loving Zumba class, and I intend to continue for as long as I can. It's fun!
We've gotten back a bunch of the RSVPs (hint hint people). One one decline to date, so that's good :)
GTG!

This is the 4th day in a row I've woken up with a headache - I wish I knew why. I'm sure it doesn't help that I haven't been getting enough sleep, but it still isn't fun.
Goal for the week - get enough sleep. At least one night of 9.5 hours. That would be lovely!
I finished up my First Aid & CPR over the weekend. The guy who was teaching it was foolish and didn't know what he was talking about. Thank goodness Erin was there to keep him line because I didn't want to be the one to correct him. In fact, I like having Erin around - she's a lot like me! And there aren't enough people like us out there. IF there was, there wouldn't be so much drama in life.
That being said, I've recently cut back (WAY back) on drama in my life, and I feel like I'm almost at a place where I can recover from it (somewhat like an open wound, I suppose). I'm going to hold onto this lovely solitude I've been building up lately. I'll soon be focused enough to lead a well-organized and routine week, which would be even lovelier.
Tonight sounds like a good night for an early bedtime. If only that would happen. LOL I have to go home, cook supper, go to the gym, study and get ready for tomorrow. Not to mention all the other things that go along with a regular Monday evening. I'm very much looking forward to Saturday! I'm already on day 8 of work (essentially) and I'm exhausted!

TGIF
Today is Friday, isn't that wonderful?
I'm doing school stuff all weekend, which lead to no days to sleep in for 2 weeks by the time next weekend rolls around. It'll be early to bed for the next few days!
Looks like I'm going to be changing positions here at work. I'll be manning the switchboard for a few days per week while still working with the team I'm with now for the other days. It should take me up to the wedding, which is nice (yay paying for stuff!). It should also make things easier when I go for surgery next month, although it is still not clear if I will be able to get sick time yet or not (it may need to be unpaid, which will be no fun). But at least it's employment, which makes me happy :)
Adam and I went to a Zumba! class last night - I loved it! It wasn't Adam's thing, but he went with me anyway, which was really great of him. I get so nervous and self conscious when I do things like that for the first time by myself. Thanks Hun!
I'm incredibly busy right now (life in general) but somehow I'm managing to keep things low-key - it's nice. Being a self-declared social pariah is cool. And quiet. I like cool and quiet.
LOL - Erin and I were doing our regular Thursday night homework talk and something became very obvious. I've had women fill me in on labour and delivery and pregnancy and all that. But it's so different when you hear it from a mom who's a nursing student! Hi-larious!
So... someone mentioned a storm, but I'm not seeing anything in the forecast. Huh?

Ring! Says the Fire Alarm
What a way to wake up this morning!
Around 7:30 am the building's fire alarm went off. So here, just minutes before Adam and I are out the door for work in the morning, we have to get us and the kitties outside. In February. Brrr!
So Adam got the kitty carriers together and I bribed the kitties with treats and we made it down the stairs. And then turned the corner and walked back inside the building to wait in the entry way with everyone else...hehe. The Fire Dept showed up, cleared the alarm and we were on our way home.
Poor Max - he is forever traumatized. Loki didn't care less, but is going to bug Max all day! Like I said, poor Max.
But hey - at least it's not Monday anymore :) Tuesday's are usually good days. Let's keep it that way.

Sometimes, having emotions isn't easy.
Today mine are all over the place. I'm super happy that I feel so physically good after the weekend, and I'm feeling much less stressed about the wedding.
That said, I just found out that it's quite likely I'm not going to get the position I want here at the company, and has taken a small toll on my mood. I feel sad. And I don't know what to do with it.
Feelings aren't always fun. They are confusing.

I can move!
Saturday's Bust A Move was so much fun! It was really great! I can't wait to do it again next year :)
I managed to make it to the gym yesterday to do a short stint of mild cardio followed by a LOT of stretching - and I feel pretty darn good today!
There have been a few changes in the wedding - Maren has agreed to stop down as the Maid of Honor and as a bridesmaid so that I can have someone closer at hand step in. This is so I can have someone who is present to help me with make it through the next few months.In the beginning we had thought that she would be living here, but things changed, and while is now (and will always be) my closest girlfriend, she understands that the stress and events and help I need are from someone who can be physically here for me. To throw a shower, help with stagette, be there for dress fittings and help with decorations, etc.
So in her place, Jennifer Uhlman is stepping in as a bridemaid, with Krystal assuming the position of Maid of Honor. Thank you Jennifer and Krystal! I made sure to let Jen know what it will mean for her to step in, and she graciously agree to be a part of my big day. And I am very excited to have someone who is here, in town, to be by my side through the next few months. I truly need that in a friend and bridesmaid right now, as things will only get busier from here on out, and I have worried about how I was going to make it through this for months.
Thank you Maren.
Thank you Jennifer.
And thank you to my Adam as well - you are the best.
