Running on Empty

Thanks Kathleen for wondering where I've been...I'm glad someone out there is paying attention to my comings & goings. I've felt horrible that I haven't been posting, but I just have nothing, nada, I'm tapped out.

Working and living out of a hotel for a week in a different state is draining and uncomfortable. I feel like a fish out of water with the new job and I'm carrying around this unbelieveable sadness that I hide with all my being. I'm just waiting, hoping for something great to occur, for something I can say was the reason for this horrible thing that happened in my life. We found out today our pug, Buddha, has diabetes along w/possible kidney and liver damage , the options at this point are to put him to sleep or take care of an insulin dependant, sick doggy. . . I'm still waiting.

So...two good things...

1. I joined a gym and have been obsessed with going there. I took a body pump class on Sunday which rocked my world and yesterday met with my personal trainer (oh la-la!) and came up with a master plan to make me gloriously fit...or at least drop a few pounds.

2. I'm 25, have a college degree, and now have an office of my own...a name plaque and all.

I took this picture at 6 in the morning for fear that a superior would see me and think, "what the hell is she doing?" while reconsidering my recent promotion.

Time to hit the elliptical...peace.

wow, an office of your own - nice!!

working out sometimes makes me feel great, like maybe i've sweated out the stress of it all...

so sorry about you pug, we just lost a dog in our family also, it's been sad

An office...so cool! You can go inside, shut the door, and, I dunno, spend hours looking at blogs without anyone knowing!...until the day is over and your work isn't done. Hmmm. I guess that won't work.

My thoughts are with you that things will turn around and start looking sunny again. You definitely deserve it.

i am sorry you are sad. : (
i had to give injections to my cat for two years...
we decided that as long as he was happy and purring, then all was good.
our decision was, that as soon as that happiness and purring stopped, it was time.
i was never ready. but euthenasia was the best gift we could give him when his body was quitting.

hugs to you.
