FREE AT LAST

*****

FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST...You know the rest. The reason
I'm so happy is because my period finally came on this
morning (at 4am, not the best timing, but I'll take it). I
wasn't sure it was my period at first, it was so light in
color and volume, but by this afternoon, it was flowing
heavy. Sorry if that's TMI, but I'm very pleased. Now is
so not a good time to be having another baby. Between
Snookums leaving for 8 months, Kiki's special needs and
work, I just don't have the time or energy for a pregnancy
or a new baby.

Since the past two weeks of agony were brought on by PMS,
I'm convinced that I need help regulating my period,
because my body is doing a horrible job of it. I'm in a
lot of pain and it just isn't necessary. So, as soon as I
get things worked out with Kiki, I'll see my doctor about
getting on a low dose birth control pill that will help me
regulate my hormone levels, thus eliminating (or greatly
minimizing) the peaks and valleys I'm always experiencing.
It'll be part of my "new me" campaign. The goal is to get
my life on track. Get myself in better shape, get my
finances straight (pay off a couple credit cards, get my
student loan paid down, save money for another car, more
savings, etc.) and just take control of my life. I've kind
of let myself go and things are not going well because of
it. I'm not feeling nearly as confident about my body or
my self-image. I'll fix it, though. I'm just waiting for
Snookums to leave. Getting my shit together is how I'm
going to distract myself for the next 8 months. I'm going
to handle my business until my Snookums returns!

Work was good today. I was in a better mood and feeling
better physically, too. Jenny (one of the managers) put
Teal (the other credit goddess) and I in a head to head
competition for credit. Teal has been kicking my ass
lately. Today was starting to look like another ass
kicking, but I came from behind and we tied at 6. She
ended up getting 7 before I left the store and who knows
how many more she got after I was gone. Either way, I'm
just glad she didn't blow me away. She'll be gone in a few
days. I won't have to worry about her again until
summertime. I'd better get on top of my game by then!

I'm feeling very sleepy. I need to get a good night's rest
so I can actually make it to the gym in the morning. I've
been doing a crappy job getting there lately. Snookums is
messing up my routine, but at this point, spending time
with him is so much more important than my cardio intake.
For now, I think I'll worry about my sleep intake. Ciao
and goodnight.
