MAJOR LIFE UPDATES!
major life update #1:
i have finally ended the process and preperation of becoming a fully licensed certified residential appraiser. i finished and turned in my log, apllied for and took the exam, passed it and sent my registration to the michigan department of labor and economic growth. i'm really excited about this. i guess the odds of passing that test the first time you take it aren't too great. go me!
of course, this comes at a time when the appraisal business is slow. the lease is up at our office building, so we will be moving the company into my parents' basement at the end of this month. i guess that's kind of good because it should mean that i get a raise. but on the other hand i won't get to see hugo and lynn every day anymore.
major life update #2:
i got a new car! well sort of. it's a used car. and it's pretty much exactly like my old car. only better. my previous vehicle was a silver 04 toyota matrix. i had a 36 month lease on it and with 6 months to go i had about 60000 miles on the thing. so i took my car in and decided the best way to go about this would be to trade in my car early and finance a used car. it's essentially a lateral move because i'll be in just about the same situation in a few years (too many miles on a car...) but i'll be better equiped when that situation arises. so the new car is a dark blue 05 matrix with a sunroof, power mirrors, foglights, a 6-disc cd changer and aluminum wheels. it's pretty nice and i like it.
major life update #3:
about three weeks ago i went to see the family dr. about my depression. i had talked to my mom beforehand and she told me more about how it runs in the family and that she had finally just gotten help and that i should go in. so i did. i talked to dr. weisman for a while and he confirmed what i pretty much already knew. he prescribed me citalopram and i've been taking them every night. i haven't noticed tooo big of a change yet, but he did say it takes about 4 weeks to fully start to kick in. so hopefully i'll stop getting so frustrated about stupid things all the time and stop feeling so totally angsty about everything and start being the fun d that you all know on occasion.
REMINDER! halloween party at my house on saturday the 28. that means you have just over two weeks to make costumes! woooo!
