Interrupted

My Life Thus Far

I've Sold My Soul

What a day, but I mean that in a good way :) It was long, but productive and I'm feeling really good about things (work things, mainly. Which has been the bulk of my concerns lately). The majority of my day was spent at both Y's. I got my workout in at Bremerton, then headed to Haselwood for training. Today was my first day seeing inside. I've driven past several times, but today was my first time seeing the inside. It's huge! Not as big as I'd made it out to be in my mind (out of fear of the unknown), but much larger than Bremerton. I haven't been to the Gig Harbor YMCA, but I guess they modeled Haselwood after Gig Harbor since the design has been so successful there. Ours is bigger and better, though :)

I've decided that I'm still going to work out at Bremerton. At least for the foreseeable future. The first month or two is going to be complete and utter chaos. Maybe after things die down a little, I'll consider splitting my personal time between the two Y's. I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with Keenan. Both locations have child-watch and Keenan can go for free while I'm working, but Snookums will be picking him up and Bremerton is closer for Snookums, but I don't really want to leave Keenan there when I go to work in Silverdale. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there, which isn't too far off.

Even though I was off by 4pm, home before 5pm, I felt totally exhausted all evening. I hope it's not like this every day. I was really excited about being home in the evenings. I don't want to feel totally wiped out. I guess over time I'll get used to the change in my routine. Tomorrow is another full day. Even more full than today. I've got to be back at Haselwood at 9:30am until 11:30am, then I head to Bremerton for my regular shift at 12:15pm, then back to Haselwood at 5pm for an all employee rally until 6:30pm. If I thought I was tired today, I'm going to pass out tomorrow night! The wonderful thing is, I found out today that I'll have Sunday AND Monday off! I don't work anywhere for two whole days in a row! They decided not to have us start our shifts until opening day. Yay! I was wondering what we would do all day with no members to help. Especially since we'll be finished training tomorrow.

I feel like I've sold my soul to the YMCA! I'm so fortunate to be able to do something I'm so passionate about, so I'm not too upset about it. I can see myself working my way up to higher positions within the organization. I still want to become certified and I still want to become a fitness instructor (for Zumba or spinning, maybe), but I'm taking it one step at a time. Someday. I've got my foot in the door.

How silly of me to get myself so worked up over nothing! The big day is getting closer, but I have the tools I need to be successful. There's nothing to worry about and I know I'll do well. I'm capable of handling anything that comes my way. I just need to keep reminding myself of that!

Okay, off to bed I go...
