I'm in love with my job. The evening shift fits me perfectly. I can't believe how fortunate I am to have a job I love this much.
I am learning to wear heels. Short heels, but still, heels. My record so far is 2 weeks without tripping-- that's improvement!
I didn't get the Bean, he's already been adopted. I put in a new application for a female Boston Terrier at a different shelter. I'm trying not to get my hopes up... getting a boston may be a longer process than I was anticipating.
I was rejected for the individual health insurance I applied for. I'm not covered under my job since I am per diem. Apparently overweight smokers with a history of depression are too much of a financial liability for this particular health insurer. I'm applying with Blue Cross of CA, which I probably have a better chance with anyway. Gotta love the U.S. health care system.
What do I want to be when I grow up? Lately, I've been thinking about becoming an interventionist. Don't get me wrong, I plan to stay at this job for awhile. But I'm always thinking ahead, and this idea just might stick. So, this means that in the next year or two I'll be working on getting my CAADAC (California Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors) licensure and then possibly my certification to become an board registered interventionist. I know for sure that I'm going to work for my CAADAC, because I can take it through my job for next to nothing, and even though I don't want to be a counselor it will help me wherever I want to go career-wise within the chemical dependency field.
The heat wave out here is passing. I'm working a bit on my garden and patio area, swimming, and doing some small projects around the house.
I'm getting the travel itch. If I can save up my pennies, I might be going to visit Ashley in Hawaii in March for my birthday/spring break. Other than that, a weekend trip out to LA or San Diego might have to do for now. I know that sounds like I'm complaining... believe me, I'm not :)
Sometimes I can't believe my own life.

Bummer that you didn't get Bean; hope everything works out getting the female BT - you will absolutely love having a Boston (I've got a male and a female). Not sure which shelters you've checked out but there's also a Boston Rescue there in MN http://www.mnbtc.com/rescue.htm that you might want to check out. Good luck!
