Amazing Opportunities

I hate missing a day. That means I have to catch up and yesterday was a somewhat eventful day. Well, kinda. I had my 90 day evaluation at the Bremerton Y and I wanted to share how that went... FANTASTIC! At first I was worried that I haven't been living up to their expectations, especially since I only work there one day a week. That couldn't be further from the truth. They have big plans for me! July 20th-22nd I have to go to Tacoma to do my Strength and Conditioning certification (which is the Y's personal training certification). Once I've got that, Rhonda has an idea for a program geared towards obese individuals who need help losing a large amount of weight and guess who she wants on board? Me! She mentioned something about a permanent life-sized before and after poster of me. I don't know how I feel about that, but helping people reach their goals is so important to me. I want to be an inspiration to others if I can. I just don't know about the poster.

Thinking about all the opportunities coming my way at Bremerton has gotten me thinking about what I want to do with myself at Haselwood. I'm starting to wonder if I even want to stay there. I want to devote myself to the project Rhonda is working on and I don't feel like I can do that fully if I'm at Haselwood half the week. Part of me wants to just be at Bremerton, yet another part of me wants to be at Haselwood, too (I'm really starting to bond with me coworkers and it's not a bad place to work). I guess we'll see what happens. I feel like I've been really indecisive lately, but in reality it's just that I've got so many amazing opportunities before me. It's hard figuring what choice is the right choice.

Then there's the issue of Victoria's Secret. Can I do it all? Do I want to do it all? When I'm there and working, it's like I've never left or considered leaving. I love that store and the feeling of security and comfort I feel there. It's MY store and I love everything about the company. Until it's approaching 10pm and I'm cleaning up inconsiderate customers' messes. Then I wonder why the hell I'm still working retail. I have to remind myself of all the perks involved (helping others, the feeling of belonging I get from my coworkers, the gratis bras :), etc.) I'm too fortunate. I've got three jobs I love and at some point I might have to give something up, but for now I'll just balance as best I can.

Oh heavens, I think I might be getting sick :( Again. Why? I'm such a healthy person. I live such a healthy life, yet this time last month I was sick, too. Yesterday and today I've had nose issues (itchy, runny, post nasal drip) now my chest is starting to feel tight and I'm losing my voice (part of that is from talking all day at work. Lots of orientations today). Snookums made big plans for Sunday. We're going to Portland to take the little ones to the zoo and to the infamous Voodoo Donut shop. I don't want to have to cancel his plans. He thought it up all by himself (I'm usually the one thinking up family trips). So, tomorrow I'm going in early and spending some time in the steam room before my shift. I want to make sure I do whatever I can to NOT get sick if that's what's going on. I can't tell if it's allergies, though. I really can't tell them apart this time of year.

I went to Trader Joe's after work and got a ton of yummy stuff. We had a very interesting spread for dinner. Wild mushroom and black truffle flatbread, tomato and basil pesto flatbread, spinach artichoke dip with pita chips, coconut shrimp and super premium ice cream for dessert. Mine is Golden Caramel Swirl and Snookums is having Peanut Butter Tracks (or something like that). Maybe a little cool ice cream will help my poor throat. And no, the health nut does not feel bad about having a little ice cream :)
