Day 3

The last 2 days have went by with fairly smooth results. I haven't gotten anything else crossed off the list yet, but I think I've made some real progress. I'm almost finished with my puzzle. I learned that I'm actually pretty good. Sometimes I just pick up a piece and know where it goes without even looking at the pieces. I just know. It's actually somewhat creepy. I think I'm going to try and find a 1000 piece after this. I think I have an addictive personality. It's like I just can't stop until the whole puzzle is done. I want to stop and concentrate on other things for a while, but I just can't let it go. 

In other news, I started my new job today. One big step in having a real career. It was nice. I found out that I get 75% off products in the portrait studio, so that's a good tip to know. Maybe we can get out wedding pictures taken. Both of the people there seemed really nice and helpful. There is definitely friend potential there. I know this is going to be a good job for me because I after 5 hours, my manager said I could go because she kept me there longer than she originally said and I didn't want to leave. All I could think of was that if I left, then all I could do was go home to an empty room. It was too late to go to the commissary. Besides, I hadn't went though my new cookbook to plan out my meals. Since that is a challenge on my list, I wanted to make sure I did that before high tailing it off to the grocery store unprepared. I also almost went to the gym, but my cough is still taking over my body, so I decided against it for now. I ended up at Ruby Tuesdays for dinner. I sat at the bar, hoping that could keep me busy with conversation because I really did not want to eat alone. It didn't work because there were no other customers and the bartender was busy with some tables. Even the manager noticed I could barely get through my meal without busting into tears, but I didn't want to talk about it. I couldn't have gotten the words out. 

I met with my Realtor today to put a new bid in on a house. It was a fairly successful meeting. I hope we get a lead on a house soon. The sirens are doing no good for my current situation. 

I order the WEN hair care system. Hopefully this will work and can contribute to my hair quality and allow me to wear my hair down for those 2 whole weeks. 

Oh! And I made a new friend today! There is a group on facebook called Fort Lewis Army Wives. I posted last night that I am new here and needed some friends. I got a message from a really nice girl named Chelle. She has a puppy and said I could take Zoey over there to hang out in their back yard. I think we're on the same level because she has never been through a deployment before and neither have I. Her husband is leaving next week for Afghanistan. She even invited me to a 'girls night in' thing she is having with a couple other army wives and about 15 of her daughters friends. Pizza, movies, that kind of thing. I'm pretty stoked about it. I'm really happy to have a friend! Hopefully I can meet her soon and see how well we click together ! 


I'm well on my way to having a friend!
