Better things ahead
So, it's been a while...yet again. I have actually been busy and not bemoaning life. Go figure.
I had a Dessert Only Valentines Day party for all my local Single Ladies and made some beautiful chocolate martinis...complete with chocolate syrup and shavings. Anyhoo, we did the usual telling of dating horror stories and tried to figure out the Other Sex, but always came up empty handed. That Sunday the final clincher to a dating story from a friend turned the switch in my head that I don't need them. I have been pleasantly surprised how much better I feel for it. It's really a weight off my shoulders. I don't think that I'm going out any more than usual, but the times that I do go out I really do enjoy. Most recently have been my salsa classes and Schecky's this past Tuesday.
Realization 2 came this weekend while reading French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure. I read it in one sitting, a pretty quick read peppered with recipes. So, this is my new lifestyle change on living that will better both me and Sonja. I don't think I have taught Sonja the best eating habits, but I'm working on my own. So, now we'll learn together. Between that and just enjoying every little moment more, taking more time for me and really believing that I deserve it.
So, all I need is for work to fall into line and I'll be good to go. :) I'm past the relationship crap, have seriously started to eat better, and now if I can break this rut at work I'm golden. I did apply for an internal job since this acquisition of Wyeth by Pfizer has me a bit concerned, but I didn't get it. It was a work from home position that would have been wonderful, but there really wasn't any room for advancement and my new boss didn't seem to have the outlook of my current boss; that the whole point of this is for me to take his position so he can move on to something better. I like that idea. So, I'll be sticking out here and hoping that I don't need to look for a new project comes next year this time.
I'm starting to get organized, there is still lots that I have to purge, but I feel that I'll be getting there soon. My life is starting to get organized I think. It's amazing what a little paradigm shift can do for mood enhancement. Sid would love to see this in me.
