Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Not All That Different
Does my day have more hours in it than everyone else's, because it feels like the day has gone on forever. Well it's after midnight, so I guess the day has technically ended, but I'm still up. I closed at VS tonight and I always have a hard time decompressing when I work late. After I finish writing I need to have a snack (or I can't sleep) and I'm going straight to bed.
It felt like I got a lot of attention at the gym today. People I don't normally talk to, stopped to chat with me. Everyone was smiling. I even had a lady tell her husband that I was "such a pretty girl". Maybe it seems that I was getting more positivity directed towards me, because I was in such a great mood. My self-esteem is ultra-high today :)
Keenan had a fantastic therapy session this morning! He was cooperating more so than I've ever seen him cooperate before. He was attempting all the sounds, pointing to pictures when asked, making matches and interacting with his therapist in ways he hasn't done in the past. I think she's starting to grow on him. I like her, I'm glad Keenan is finally starting to warm up to her.
When I got home from therapy, I checked my email and there was a reply from Rhonda. She thought my Y Story was great and asked for before and after pictures. I don't have any :( I'm really not fond of taking pictures and I most definitely didn't like taking pictures when I was bigger. I had to petition my friends on Facebook to see if anyone had pictures of me when I was heavier. A couple came through. Of course there weren't any good ones, but I think I found one that should work okay. It's from the chest up, but you get the idea of how I looked then. I'll just have Rhonda take an after picture tomorrow or maybe Wednesday. I'm less nervous about the outcome of the Y Story becoming public. I think it will be a good thing. As one of my friends reminded me, it might help some of the woman that hate me see that I'm not all that different from them. I'm just a little further along in my journey.
