Hey, thanks for instant messaging me to ask how I am, just so you could tell me you're tired because you drank too much at the baseball game last night. Really...awesome. *eye roll* Why do I still talk to you? *sigh*
Eh.
Had a good chat with my therapist yesterday, after almost missing my appointment. Thank goodness she's right down the street from work. Just talked about my Why the Fuck Not attitude (although not the whoring around part), and having my whole world full of possibilities, and she said it's GREAT that I'm feeling that way. So I feel like I'm making progress.
I got a little buzz on Saturday night and decided to sign up for Plenty of Fish (upon Kat's recommendation), and then deleted my account Monday afternoon because it was just so fucking ridiculous. And I'm not ready for that. I can meet people through Kat, or Julie, or...anyone...else.
Saturday morning I went on an awesome hike with my mom, so much fun. Then I spent the day at the lake beach with Kat and her pup. I forgot how awesome it is to have friends that I can actually hang out with that think the same way I do, so to speak. Kat was talking about how moving to Sacramento was pretty much the best thing she's ever done. She said the people here, and the environment, etc, it's all just...better. Got me thinking. If things don't go the way I want them to here at work, I'm definitely looking for something up there. Seriously looking. Kat said we could even be roomies and get a place super cheap, which I would be all kinds of good with. Plus, I'd be closer to my band, which wouldn't be a bad thing at all. I'd be farther away from my parents and my grandma, but still close enough to drive down for a weekend or whatever.
My therapist said she was proud of me for thinking like this and that it's a good sign. I feel like this is my opportunity to make the most of my freedom. To do what I want, on my terms. If that means moving, getting a different job, starting over and meeting new people, then so be it. I can do that. I'm 26 years old and I don't have to answer to anyone. Kat invited me to go to Tahoe with her and Allie and some people for her birthday and I said yes. You know why? Because WHY NOT?
The band is doing so well I can hardly believe it. We're booking big shows, and lots and lots of shows. The guy that does the booking at 924 Gilman in Berkeley saw us play a few weeks ago and loved us and wants us to play with him and his band there in September. If you don't know anything about California music venues, The Gilman is a big deal, so we're stoked. We're booked all the way to the end of June right now, which is amazing. We're getting a new song recorded in the next couple weeks, hopefully getting some photos done, and kicking ass and making connections. This is huge for us, and if we can keep this roll going we're on our way to the top for sure (LOL).
Hope everyone else is doing well :) *hugs*
ETA: So the ex is having issues at work because she has to do both her job (accounting for the whole company) and the payroll job, since they lost their payroll person. She's been trying for a month to find someone and just randomly messaged me to tell me I should just do it, because at least she "knows i could trust your ass to do that work". Just thought that was funny and had to share. Kbye!
