Hello hello
You know, I really do want to keep up with my livejournal. I feel like over the years, I've really enjoyed spending a couple of mintues seeing where I was x years ago on this day. Part of it is nostalgia, part of it is that hindsight wistfulness.
I suppose I feel like not much is going on in my life because as much as things change, they remain the same. But upon further consideration, I guess that isn't all that true.
Job: I'm not the biggest fan. It's just not for me. My new team is great, they're funny, smart, considerate, and very driven. Out of all the teams I've worked with, this one is by far the best. So, that's definately nice. Deloitte itself is great, but I'm just not meant to be a consultant for the long run. For now, it's fine, and it pays the bills and then some. So I gues I can't complain, I just see a future beyond it.
Other work things: I'm still running my small business for skin care with Rodan+Fields. It's going wonderfully. I make about $200-400 a month and that number is slowly rising, which is great. Hopefully, since I've taken a few steps to boost that, it'll keep growing.
The fitness world: Things are going along steadily there. I still teach at GW, but I'm willing to bet this will be my last semester. I'm too tired to teach two classes back to back, with very similar formats...and on top of that, I lose my entire Sunday, which is very frustrating.
I just went to a personal training workshop, so I need to scrounge up the money, pay for my study materials and then take the exam so I can keep moving in that direction. I'm slowly, steadily, building ideas for my own gym and am fairly certain that I will be eventually fully called into that direction. But who knows when that will happen. I can only hope sooner rather than later.
Chadd: Things are still good there. The hard part is that he works from like 2pm til 2am, so I never see him, unless I wake up when he comes in, or I work from home in the morning. He'll be looking for a new position soon, and waiting to hear back from a few grad schools. This, of course, means that my life plans are up in the air. I suppose I will follow him if he moves, but we do have the condo and in this economy, looking for jobs is scary. Ugh. I try not to think about it until there is something to thinnk about. But, I guess the best part of it all is that I have him, we have a great relationship, and we're happy.
All else: cats are fine, condo is fine (if not messy), i'm considering running a half marathon with Blair (we've lost our minds) in May....and yeah. That's it. Much love to you all who still read this.
