Long Time No Post

I can't believe the last time I posted was about a week and a half ago....been a bit busy. So I have another injury, this time right ankle. I'm thinking tendinitis. Have to try to get to the podiatrist before my insurance runs out next month. Also waiting for test results from Dr. Lieu. She thinks we will probably have to repeat the same procedure I had to do a couple of months ago. Dreading it. The good news is that if something is found it is early enough to treat. She's a pretty aggressive doctor and I like that. I do feel under the gun though with the whole medical insurance issue. I pray that my right fit full time position will reveal itself before then. I believe it will. In the meantime, keep moving forward. I just have to say...today I was looking mighty cute and didn't even know it! Ha ha. Had lunch with Jean today. Good lunch. We went to one of my favorite pasta places. He says he's starting to seek out graduate programs. Good for him! Finally! He's been procrastinating too long. I've been out on many interviews so the possibilities are picking up. Ricardo is also searching for high paying temp positions where I can learn Raiser's Edge and Donorperfect so that's a great prospect for me. I have two interviews next week. On the personal front, I've been dating. Surprise, surprise. I have found myself intrigued by one guy. He seems like an ambitious man and has an interesting background. Served in Iraq, comes from a big family, cooks, is affectionate, highly impatient in some aspects of life. I think in his head he already has us married off...LOL. You know me...i don't like to rush anything. I tell him he's on a week by week basis. Upgrades to month by month, etc come in time. In this day and age it's so hard dating since everything revolves around sex for most guys. What ever happened to actually dating and getting to know a person before sex. Nowadays people will simply have sex and not even know anything about the person they are sleeping with then try to forge a relationship. Maybe I'm slightly old-fashion in the sense that I think it should be the other way around. Take the time to get to know a little about a person then get naked if you think it's worth it. Ha ha. I think Miriam's mantra is having a positive effect on me. Guys have been coming at me left and right. Interesting. I think it's in part the weight loss and haircut. I also feel different. More confident in everything. I also believe having the time this past year to actually accomplish what I wanted to do has had a profoundly positive impact in my life. It came with a lot of sacrifice and soul-searching but to date I have no regrets on anything....and that's a good thing.

On the workout front, I told Jeff the goal is a minimum of 40 pounds by December. This is going to be a challenge especially with the new injury. I'm sure Jeff will tell me the plan over the weekend. O.K. I better go and work on their project. I sense carpal tunnel in my wrists will be the next injury. I hope not but they have like eight years worth of paper files. They are going to be into me for at least two to three years worth of personal training at this rate. Jeff thinks i'm playing when I said i'm drawing up a contract. I'm not playing! O.K. Gotta go. More later or tomorrow.
