Today is miserable. I overslept, look like crap, have cramps from HELL and my coworkers are working my last nerve. Thank god I have a three day weekend coming up. All I want to do today is eat the scrumptious birthday cake in the break room and taco bell, then go home and lay it down for the night. No such luck. I have to get my hair trimmed tonight and dye my hair. Probably doing laundry too. I really want to work out tonight but I am overdosing on midol and it's not even helping a little. Ugh. I hate being a negative Nancy today but I can't shake this funk. Any suggestions? Here is what is keeping me sane:
Thinking about being off work for three days!
Cincinnati Children's Choir concert and reunion tomorrow night. I am sure it will be hours of reminiscing with some of my favorite people.
Sleeping in on Sunday! No choir this week.
Having lunch with Nicole, Brad and Don from my old branch. I seriously miss them so much.
I'm thinking way ahead here, but I get to see my Andy Poo on memorial day weekend!
I get to see THE SHINS June 9th!!
And I get to see Florence in July!!!

Torn
If there's one thing constant in my life, it is the fact that I'm rarely satisfied. I am deeply, deeply unsatisfied right now with a few things in my life. The major one being my work...
I had the MOST INCREDIBLE WEEKEND I may have ever had in my life last weekend. I went to Ann Arbor, MI with MUSE. I felt like it was a dream. Everything was amazing. The car ride up was fun. I rode with Kate and Emily and it was awesome singing classic rock songs, practicing our music, and getting to know each other on a different level. We arrived in beautiful Ann Arbor that afternoon and had a little bit of time to see University of Michigan's campus, which is gorgeous. We had a great rehearsal, then time to rest and get dressed and headed to a dinner that was catered in for us. The concert that night was very inspiring and got me very emotional. Sunday morning we did two concerts at their church services and were able to listen to Randy Roberts Potts speak. What a treat. I cried the whole morning. He really made me feel like I need to do more. Look him up, please! Hear what he has to say. We had an amazing brunch at Zingerman's Roadhouse before we went home. It was just awesome. It left me thinking that there has to be more to life than being a corporate monkey. There has to be more than making money that someone else gets to enjoy. There has to be more than being a human robot who doesn't matter anyway. There has to be a way to enjoy what I do and actually make a difference in the life of people who are less fortunate than me.
I am committing to myself that I will start soul searching so that I can find that. My new branch is just as much of a drag as the last one. Yes I make a good living, but for what? To hate 40 hours of my life every week? Something has to give.
I also decided that I'm going to start Weight Watchers again. I need the discipline that comes with a program like that. I need to be accountable to weighing in front of someone else. I really want to be at my goal weight by the end of September. I want to reach that goal before I make any other major changes in my life, which I want to do after my vacations this year.
I feel as though I am one of the most blessed and fortunate people in the whole world. I don't take that for granted for a single minute. I want to share that wealth. I want to pour all of this love out into the world. I want to find a way to share my passion in a way that makes a difference!

"Open up. Everything's Waiting for you!"
Wow. It's been a really long time (even for me) since my last post. So much has been going on, I haven't really had the energy to just write. But I wanted to at least post and update what's going on.
So here's what's been going on. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last Friday. Not a good time. It wasn't nearly as easy breezy as people led me to believe it would be and my mouth actually still hurts some. But it is done now and that's one thing I was able to cross off my to do list as far as health concerns go.
A couple weeks ago, I had the sonohysteogram (sp?). It sucked. But it came out that everything is normal and that is a huge relief since I do want to have children. That left my doctor with no answers, yet again. So we decided to give Lysteda a try, which is a drug used to treat heavy periods. It didn't really work. It helped lighten my period, but it never stopped. I finally just called and asked him to give me the pill. He prescribed Ortho Tri Cyclen and so far it hasn't made me crazy. Also, so far, it hasn't completely stopped the bleeding. I think it will eventually though. And if it doesn't soon, I'll be seeing him again. I still have an appointment with the endo lady next month. I already feel better though and my energy levels have majorly increased, and for now I am happy with that.
I also got my third fill this past Monday. I am feeling more restriction now, but not yet to what I'd consider my "green zone." I am down 25 pounds now and can feel and see the results now. I'm happy with my progress and I know that I'm taking much better care of my body now and making the right decisions for it now. I've been working out more since I finally have energy!
Lastly, today is my last day at my Crescent Springs branch. I'm so excited for Monday! It doesn't seem real just yet, and I'm not sure when it will. I guess it will once it becomes real. We had a little going away potluck party for me yesterday and a lot of my good customers have said they will follow me to my new branch. I feel so positive that things are looking up. I am so happy with where I am right now and with where I'm going. It's been a very long time since I've felt so completely happy and just good about everything overall.
I have a concert tonight and then a jam packed day full of St. John's choir stuff tomorrow. I have a very busy week ahead of me with my new job, and of course choir stuff then I'll be in Ann Arbor all weekend with MUSE! Can't wait for my first out of town trip with my ladies! <3 <3 <3
