Work and stuff
February 1st, 2007Yesterday was my annual review. I have been at my current job for nine months. To me that is unbelievable. Mostly because I still feel as though I don’t know alot of things. The review went really well. My boss was very supportive of all of my ideas - including taking more design classes and trying to become more involved with the design community. She also said that I am way too hard on myself - it is true though - I am my worst critic. It was just the boost of confidence that I needed.
Also, I played racquetball yesterday for the first time in almost a year. It felt so good to be back in the court. I played with my co-worker, who told me today that he was impressed with how good I am. funny considering I haven’t played in a year.
On another good note, people are beginning to notice the weight loss. Like alot of people. It makes me feel good to know that I am making progress. I have about three pairs of pants right now that just look ridiculous because they are not even close to fitting anymore. The other pants I have are “presentable”, but soon will also have to be taken in. The benefits of my new lifestyle are that my skin is clearer, I have waaay more energy than normal, I am tremendously happy all the time (not as many mood swings), and I look better. Amazing what eating healthy and exercising can do for you.
Things with Lam are still fantastic. He is staying with his folks for the next couple of days and being away from him is hard - although not doable. He is the best boyfriend I have ever had. Each day he does something that makes me fall more in love with him. I am amazed. There have been talks….talks of moving in together….but being the rational adults that we are - we have decided to revisit the topic again in three months (that will be our six month mark).
How did I become such a lucky person? I mean I know I had to work really hard at being happy and I had to be really miserable for awhile, but still. Everything just seems to be coming so easily for me.
