Today felt good. Woke up around seven and hung out with the family until they needed to leave. I feel the events of the past weeks have helped me with my family. I have opened up to them and asked their support. They have all been more than willing to help keep me standing. My mother was especially helpful. I never thought I would truly have a good relationship with anyone in my family due to what it was like growing up. I am happy that we have all changed for the better and that we are starting to grow closer.
Let's see, after they left I took buddy on a nice long walk when I dropped my car off to get its' oil changed.
Getting this blog set up was fun and I think it will really help. I can see it helping me with stress but more importantly I think it will be a good tool to help keep me on track.
As far as money goes I have horrid luck with the renters rebate. I am going to miss $900 for 2 months because Perter decided to enter and obviously fabricated phone number for the landlord (952-000-0000). Could he not take the 5 minutes to call me or even make one up that was a bit more realistic? The VA has been another issue. I showed up yesterday to get my representative the files he needed at the time he told me to be there only to find that he had left. It was my entire medical history and I did not want to leave it with some random clerk so the drive out there turned out to be almost pointless. I called him early today and left a message...he has yet to get back to me. I just want this done. This is such a big stress in my life right now and I feel I am doing all I can but I am sure the hoops I have to jump thru are not coming to an end in the near future. The best guess I have right now is that it will be taken care of by the middle to end of September and that is only with my constant poking. I wont give up though. This is important and needs to be taken care of. But I can say I did get a deposit made at Wells Fargo today. My debt is almost half gone. Just a bit more and it will be nothing but a memory. Grrr, I still cant believe I have spent most of my mid day trying to track that rebate down! I had so much I wanted to do with that time!
Let's see, I have little over an hour before I leave for Tae Kwon Do so I think I will knock out some chapters in my book and take buddy on a run. I am sure TKD will go as it always does. I just have to be careful not to push myself too hard like I did when I started and injure myself again.
Right after TKD I have been invited for a beer with Katlynn. I hope she turns into a friend...it is always so hard to tell at the beginning how things will end up. Like the old room mate. Easy to deal with in short periods but maddening in the long run.
After that I am off to spend the night with Andrew. As always a good friend. Some pillars just wont ever break and I think he is one of them. Kathrine you are also a pillar of strength for me the strongest I have ever known. At every turn you have supported and encouraged me to be something better and to reach for my dreams. I know that now matter where our growth takes us that we will always be the best of friends.
All in all I wont get everything I wanted to get done today but maybe I had just set myself up for failure by piling so much on at once. However I will never get where I need to be if I don't push myself.
A good day is nearing its' end. I don't feel bad though. This is just the beginning and there will be many more like it.

You got a lot of important things done today. Be careful and don't burn yourself out. This will probably be a slow process...as well as it should be, that way the new habits will have time to sink in and stay.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed TKD last night. It felt fantastic and I loved seeing you. Although the withdrawal pains are starting to kick in for me pretty badly.
I enjoyed TKD just as much. As far as the pain...the only thing that has come remotly close to helping me with it is the fact that if we did not want to change and we did not care about a future together that the pain would not be there. The pain is letting me know that the feelings are still alive and that the world is full of hope for us and who we develop into. I want nothing more than to hold you in my arms right now and tell you that we will get through this together, however far apart we may be.
