Yesterday was May 6th. Three years ago I started talking to Ramzi and now we're both with different people - and that's a good thing. It was rebound for both of us, and neither one of us was ready for that relationship. It's hard to believe it's been three years.
On May 16th - next week - it would have been my 33rd wedding anniversary. Dan's birthday is May 22nd, and Jason's birthday is May 30th. I want to get to the point where May is just about Jason's birthday...and nothing more.
I am over Dan - I think - but some days...the tears still flow. However, it's not as often as it was, and it doesn't hurt as much as it did. He'll be celebrating his 2nd wedding anniversary in September. Yep, I really don't care like I did. Life goes on - and I am happy for it.
Last Saturday was my last day of work at Toasted Oak - maybe just for now. I just could not keep up. I'm so disappointed with myself with the grade I got in Statistics last semester. It ruined my 4.0, so now, hopefully, I'll still maintain a 3.9. I know it sounds like no big deal, but to me, it was. I was so proud of it.
I loved working at Toasted Oak because of the people. My timing was getting better, and my confidence was growing, and my speed was much better. I really felt like I was getting into the groove. My boss didn't want me to leave. I wasn't working there for the money - it was the fact that my insurance was only costing me $60 a month. But, to maintain the full-time status, I needed to work at least 32 hours a week. So, I was working 8-10 hours on Wednesday and 12 hours on Friday and Saturday! It was killing me! I was always tired and really had no life outside of school, homework, and work. I also took 16 credit hours last semester. So, now is the time to concentrate on school, my body, and Keith.
I signed up for health insurance - $300 a month, but I get a $67 a month break from the government. Keith and I are looking for a place to move in together. That way, we are not only getting to see each other more, we'll save some money! Well, renting is a lot more expensive then buying, and that's the struggle. Lots to think about.
I got some new golf clubs and am taking some refresher lessons starting next week. I'm trying to get all of my homework and studying out of the way so Keith and I can enjoy our weekends. Once I start back to work, I'll work every weekend again, so we want to enjoy it now while we can. I also want to start getting out on my bike, and maybe start running again. There is so much I want to do that I think those 32 hours a week I was working are going to get filled up pretty quickly!
For my Psychology class, we were asked to pick an interesting person and use them for a case study each week. I chose Julia Child - because we both started this culinary career later in life. I'm finding the assignments so interesting!
I'm really in a good place right now - school - being able to devote more time to homework and my Student Ambassador and Student Mentor work; golf, running, cycling - I will have more time; and Keith - the entire weekend. We are planning our future together, and that makes me extremely happy.
