i awoke early. i had this feeling in my belly that i would make today the best day ever! someone told me yesterday that today would be a wonderful day and i believed that person. i was determined to make today great. NO, i was determined ot make today wondeful (oh, the power of positive thinking, eh?)
i rolled out of bed (literally!!), hopped in the shower (low on shampoo, oh dear, and no conditioner, so i had to use that leave in kind that makes my hair feel like straw... YUCKY!!!). used old man's razor and listened to him complain "don't use my razor! now it's ruined!" BUT!!! nothing's going to ruin this perfect day!
finally found the perfect thank you card for bubba. after searching all this time (honestly!!!! i've looked everywhere for the perfect thank you card, and while buying bleach last night for laundry at walgreens, i came across the card iale (spelling? ha!) and found the PERFECT thank you card...) i found the perfect (and i mean PERFECT thank you card) card. i has a man holding a dog at a water fountain so the dog can drink water and it says something like 'what is the purpose of life if not to help others?' (or something like that,.....).. i wrote aobut 6 sentences telling him thank you for helping me change my life... i sent that out and started on with my great day.
i went to my pdoc apt and waited. and waited. and waited. finally, someone told me 'the doctor has to go to the hospital so you need to reschedule.' i wimpered (i'm out of meds, missed my last apt, and afraid i'm becoming depressed because i haven't been taking my meds for a while (don't smack me please, i've learned my lesson :).. she said 'are you ok?' i said 'i think i may cry! (i had tears in my eyes) i'm out of meds and don't know what to do...' she said that they could give me samples to last until i set my next apt and i was very happy!!! on with my great day....
now to an interview for a job... (btw, i look very vute today, even with hair like straw!!!)... i went to a temp service. i drove downtown, tried to find the place (i never go downtown, i stay close to campus). i ended up driving for an hour. i found a place that helps men who are addicted to alcohol and drugs and left my resume, while looking for the temp service (i hope that works out :).. i saw two business men while i was lost and they informed me i was on the south side of town when i should have been on the north side of town. i tried to find the place and still got lost (hey, this is a small town, i didn't think it was possible to get lost, but i am kk and if there are streets, i'll get lost.) i finally found the place on my way home (i was about to go home, but saw a sign on my way home, seems i drive past the place often.. ooopsie!!).. i went in and stood around, as no one was in the office. a man came in to change the rugs and i saw his name tag. i asked if that was really his name (a VERY nice name) he said yes and i told him i liked his name. he went into the main office and a girl asked if he was flirting with me. he said i was flirting with him. a guy came out and told me to talk to 'loopy'. i liked loopy already. (such a cute name, isn't it??)
i talked to loopy. we talked for a little bit about finding a job. then we talked about my major. then we talked about what i wanted to do with my life. then she told me that she often times works at nursing homes and takes care of the elderly. we talked about shopping in indy. we talked about empathy and the homeless. we talked about the best places to buy shoes. we talked about cars (she's got one coming with a hemmy motor). we talked about teaching people empathy, and people who don't have it. we talked about her children, her brothers, her sisters. we talked aobut my old man. we tlaked and talked and talked..... for over an hour. about everything except getting me a job really (but, she did tell me that she'd do everything she can to find me one..).
today was a great day. i have another interview with her next week. loopy almost made me cry. she's so very sweet to people. she cares aobut people. she opened up to me. i relaly like loopy. i wish i knew her better.
the person who told me today would be a great day for me was right. it had the potential to be a horrible day, but the whole time i kept thinking 'no, i WILL not have a bad day, that person told me today will be good and I WILL make it that way.' thank you for making me make today a good day. and tomorrow will also be a good day....
oh, the power of the mind.. huh, i just don't understand it. but, i think that's a good thing!!!!!!
