Day 14

Good Morning

Today I'm working on keeping my thoughts positive versus critical. I noticed yesterday that I was a little too critical of too many things, and that's not how things should be. I mostly found myself thinking that I'm still not good at my job and that everyone is thinking it at work. I overheard my boss on a conference call gleaming about our newest addition who 'was a lifesaver' with her 20 years of experience. I realized I am usually the person that people say those things about. Instead of being negative and wallowing in this feeling, I'm trying to push her up and empower here as well as help in any way possible. I also am trying to be my own cheerleader and still work on the things I'm not the best at. It's obvious that I'm not the best at this incredibly detail oriented job, and also that I really don't give a damn about it. I am really trying though. I'm hoping that I'll care once I really get into this job...

In other news I made chickpea salad sandwiches yesterday and they were amazing. I tried to make smoked almonds and those turned out a little too smoky, but the sandwiches as a whole turned out perfect! I also made the basil corn chowder soup and man oh man that turned out fantastic! I had no idea you could make such a delicious meal without using butter or any animal byproduct. I'm excited to eat that tonight. Matt is gone tonight and pretty much tomorrow night so it's really going to be me eating the soup.

Tonight I really need to get down on some laundry and clean up the kitchen. I kind of hate having to do all of the chores around here, but Matt also half asses them and messes everything up in the process.

Last night we went to trivia with our new friends Alyssa and Brock. I think his name is Brock anyway. It was really nice to get out and hangout with people our age. They both have PHDs but they don't flaunt them around that much and aren't HUGE nerds. Just the type of nerds we like. I think we'll be going back for Trivia soon!

Bridget and Ryan get back tonight, but I think we're hanging out tomorrow night. I feel like I haven't seen them in a month!

Ok time to get ready.

Day 34

Yesterday was a hard day for America. It was the Las Vegas shooting as well as Tom Petty died at 66. There are reports that over fifty people died in vegas and hundreds were injured. It's the worst shooting in American history. Apparently the guy passed all the background checks and no one saw this coming. Apparently he camped out in his hotel room overlooking the concert and just started shooting. He even reloaded before any new what was going on. They say he even had bombs in his room. He ended up turning the gun on himself before anyone could get to him. These are the times we live in.... I'm not sure what is worse, feeling numb with that situation, or not being surprised that it happened. I intentionally stay away from large crowds because of these types of things, and am constantly aware of my surroundings so I'm not in a situation like this. It's terrible to think that that's become a lifestyle. I want to donate blood to help with the need of saving othe...

Day 3

August 9th  Why are Wednesdays the hardest days to workout on? I have never liked to and I can always talk myself out of it every morning. As I sit here with my coffee and undeserved smoothie, I think about how much better I'd feel if I had gotten up and went to my cycling class. I'd say I hope I workout on Wednesdays but man oh man do I hate doing that.  I'm also deciding on if I want to wash my hair today. I was told by my hair stylist to only wash it three times a week, but if I don't workout on Wednesdays I can get by with two times a week. I can't believe how thick it's gotten by doing this. It's extremely healthy and I barely have any fallout or breakage now. It's a miracle cure I'm telling you.  Work was alright yesterday. Justin actually complemented some of the things I do. I don't live off of his approval but it's such a rare occurrence it really is something to note. It wasn't on anything big, just that I'm sounding m...

Day 33

I think I shared some of my dark thoughts with Matt this weekend. I've realized that it's become an issue and I need to read about what to do to not have these thoughts. I also think I'm going to be limiting my drinking for awhile so I can really get a handle on these things.  I've started following a bunch of podcasts and am reading articles about which books help with this type of thought process. I believe I have a inferiority complex as well as a hard time feeling vulnerable with others. Thankfully there's a lot to learn on both subjects which makes me feel hopeful. I don't want to be the crazy one that ends the marriage because I pushed Matt away.  I've thought about counselling but want to try things on my own first. If I still feel this way in 4 months, or worsen in the next 4 months,  then I will go talk to someone.  I also know that a lot of this has to do with work and how bad it is. I really need to step up my game with finding a new career....
