The last few weeks have been really calm, apart from work being nuts. The nice weather has put me in a good mood and I have not been so depressed. Someone recently said to me that you have to do things in your life that make you joyful everyday, and not continue in patterns that make you unhappy. So... thinking about that, I have decided that my job is a dead end job, with no room to move up, nothing in the agency I would be more interested in, and that I need to find a new path.
Around the same time I ran into a woman I know at the grocery store (McCaffery's for all of you who know and understand my obsession with that store) who is the office manager at a group psychotherapy practice. She stated that they wanted to invite me to join the practice starting out part time and building up clients. ME! They actually WANT me! I have decided that this is what I want, this is what will make me happy (i think) and at the least it is a change that I need. My agency has this screw ball rule that you have to have approval from the exec. director to have another job (i don't see how it is legal, but this woman has huge power in our community so fucking with her is not a good idea). I spoke with my supervisor (stressing that i was not planning on leaving the agency, but rather looking for supervised hours to get my LPC) and I have a meeting with the exec. dir. on Wed next week. If she says no I might just got out and get a fee for service job and quit! So that is the news on the job front. I want this to work so badly...
In Mother's Day news, I booked brunch reservations at the Logan Inn, a cute little place in New Hope, to take my mom tomorrow morning. I also went out and got her a cute Vera Bradley bag like my new one, same style different color. I am filling it with lots of little goodies... $10 starbucks card, nailpolish, bodywash, candle, etc. I hope she likes it! Now off to clean the house because my parents might come over for a barbacue tonight....
