What I am doing for me....

Hmmm...

hope I can stay on track with this one...

Today, I went with a girlfriend of mine to a soc appt to see if she's pregnant or not (she wants to be). She's been my biggest support since I moved here, so I wanted to be supportive of her, as her H had to work and couldn't go with her.

Turns out, she's not, and was a bit bummed...felt good to have someone else leaning on me for support in this way for a change.

Had my appointment with my university advisor. Turns out, my aid didn't come through for fall semester. Went to admissions and got course list anyway...Going to take just one class (due to cost, but one is better than none). So, now it's narrowing down which one. I took my placement tests last week...not that I needed to take many...most of my old college credits transferred ok, so I know I'm just under 3/4 the classes I need towards my degree.

Went and worked a side job all day. H said he wanted to watch D, so I let him.

Just as I was about to leave, he said, "just so you know, I think it's stupid that you're doing this job today instead of waiting for something better."

My response? "thanks for sharing your opinion" and I left for the job...lol

He texted me halfway through the 8 hour job saying, "Your daughter has a severe attitude problem. This wasn't a good idea" I waited about 30 mins and replied, "She's your daughter too. Work it out!" Never heard anything more.

When I got home, she was happy to see me as usual. Was upset when I found out she hadn't eaten dinner yet because she'd just woken up from a nap, but I simply said, "D, I'm hungry too, let's get something to eat."

Ate with her, then we went for a walk. Gave her a bath, put her to bed, called my mom to catch up on things with her, took a shower, and hopped on here.

I know I'm starting new job tomorrow afternoon, so I wasn't going to let anything bother me today. smile

Tomorrow morning, D and I have a playdate with two of her friends. Excited because we've not seen them in two weeks...family had gone on vacation, so I'm eager to hear how it was for them.

Hoping things go well with new job, and am confident they will...all work I've done before, just a new company.

Will take a better look at course book tomorrow as well.

Got hit on and was given a phone number randomly today at the gas station. It happens quite often to me. I did what I usually do...thanked him for the compliment, took the number, and went about my business....later, i tossed the number out. Didn't exchange names or anything, so no sweat off my back. Still makes me feel good about myself though.

I think I look pretty dang good for my age...just nice to hear it from others, ya know? lol

Was a good day, and hopefully tomorrow is as well.

Hope all of you are well out there also!
