Yesterday, I had ALL THE FEELINGS...

Yesterday, I had ALL THE FEELINGS and I was SUPER exhausted by the end of the day. I couldn't sleep, though, because my brain was too excited. 😂 I guess I finally fell asleep around 4 this morning. Shaun woke me up at 1:30 this afternoon with a cheese Danish. That was amazing. ❤️

I've been a drowsy, lazy lump in the few hours I've been awake. I need to go repot some plants and make some plans, but I'm not feeling it yet. I might need to make another cup of tea and force myself into action. THAT sounds really fun. 🙄

You know what? I'm getting up. If I'm already not having fun, then I might as well do my chores and get all of the less-fun stuff out of the way. Thank you for letting me pep-talk myself. Also, I love you. ❤️

I'm in line at the Post Office...

I'm in line at the Post Office with goosebumps and my hair standing on end, trying not to throw up, crying happy tears.

I'M IN! I GOT THE JOB! I don't even know what to do with myself.

I'll be heading to Cincinnati for training next month. I'll be gone for 3 months so I need to figure out an apartment or long-term hotel situation. After that I'll be working from home, making more money than I ever have, with benefits I can't even fathom.

I think I've gone and done it. I think I changed my life.

I love so many of Sipsey Wilder's accessories...

I love so many of Sipsey Wilder's accessories - especially the different sizes / shapes of the fanny packs.  I did not think I could love them any more when they busted out with AXOLOTL MERCH.  Already ordered one.  How could I not?

One of the guys who interviewed me...

One of the guys who interviewed me recommended this video - Sounds of Sorting Algorithms.

It is EXTREMELY visually pleasing to me and it sounds like old school arcade games.  You should watch it!

My lullaby last night.

My lullaby last night. Volume up! 😂

Today has been a good day so far!

Today has been a good day so far!

I feel that the final interview went well. I met 2 more people from the company that I'm applying to and it felt like we had a good chat. No matter what happens I'm grateful for the experience, but I do really hope that I'll be chosen. I would absolutely love to be a part of that team. I should know something no later than the 29th!

After my interview Shaun and I went to update our licenses with our new names it felt really nice to check that off of our to-do list. Before we went home we stopped and got burritos. I got a tea and he got a coffee. All was delicious and exactly what I wanted.

I got home and chatted with Janet and that was super nice because I missed our chat last week. While talking I told her about an injured squirrel that visited our feeder a few days ago. I told her I was worried about him because I hadn't seen him in some days. Wouldn't you know that before we hung up little baby showed up! He looked a bit better this visit, thank goodness.

So far I'm battling a headache with Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Hopefully I won't have to take migraine meds today and if I do I hope it will be much later in the day. But so far, so good! I'm going to get some rest and then I plan to keep myself busy for some days to keep the anxiety at bay. Until I know something about the job I will be obsessively refreshing my email! 😂

I hope you all are doing well! ❤️

I'm at a doctor appointment...

I'm at a doctor appointment with Kira. Her doctor was called into emergency surgery and we're going to have a (gasp!) *possible* 30 minute wait. We were told this up front when she checked in and given bottles of water in our room.

Do I even have to say it? 😂 I fucking LOVE IT HERE.
