The last month of my life has been absolutely exceptional! So many things have gone RIGHT for me, and I'm enjoying it as much as I can! It won't always be this good. I don't even know where to start, so I guess I'll just write bullets or something!
- Won another free spa party for me and 4 friends. $100 in free beauty product for me!
- Traded my car in for a new 2010 Dodge Charger. Super good deal, and the dealership even gave me money on top of the car price to pay off my credit cards.
- I got a promotion at work. Full-time evenings, 75 cent raise, new wing, new co-workers (amazing ones, I might add)
- Got in touch with my "aunt" on my biological father's side. She seemed happy to have contacted me so here's to hoping I can gain a bit more knowledge about her/them/him...whoever.
- Had a couple dates. Enjoying meeting new people and having good times. I've got a wee bit of a crush, but I won't get ahead of myself on that one.
And...saving the best for last
- I GOT ACCEPTED INTO NURSING SCHOOL!
I can not even explain how happy and relieved I was to get that acceptance letter. I have been waiting for 5 years for this and now it's all coming together. I paid the $300 commitment fee, paid $170 to re-certify myself in first aid/CPR (it's needed as a requirement) and finished that over the weekend. I just need to get my criminal record search done in the next day or 2 and then get my doctor to sign my immunizations form on the 25th and I'll be 100% in the program. I start on May 2nd. The only thing I'm somewhat stressed about is the money. There's no way I can work full-time and go to school full-time, so I'll need to find some sort of balance...and apply for student loans. But right now, I'm not even going to worry about that. I'm just going to enjoy this happy patch for a while!
I'll be becoming an auntie in about a month. I'm still worried for Jess, but I'm sure she'll find her niche as a mom, and we all know that I'm going to be the best aunt, so!
I am lonely when it comes down to it. I'd love to have someone to kiss goodnight or cuddle up with in bed...I miss that, but it's just not in my cards right now, I guess. My life is exponentially better than others' and I feel ashamed to complain about it sometimes. I know there's the right man for me out there somewhere, I just need to find him. And I will.
I really need to start putting Hakuna Matata to good use! I'm such a worry wart and it really gets me nowhere. Sitting back, relaxing, living a good life and helping others is all I can do. I'll let the rest come to me when it feels like it.
