WAKEY WAKEY ABBERS!!
T-Storm brewing but it almost looks like it's sliding by just to the north. We're getting the wind (and cooler temps) but no rain or show. Yet. Unfortunately it's not supposed to do anything for the heat and we will be close to 100 again to today. Yesterday in boston it hit 103 which tied a record from 85 years ago!! I have a doggie playdate to go to and I'm not really looking forward to it if it's really going to be that hot.
No call from job #2a. Very disappointing. A position finally opened at my present place. The woman is retiring in Sept. They are keeping the title and salary the same ($$$) but have totally changed the job description. I'm not sure I agee with what they are doing but I applied anyway. I can do anything for $70K a year!
I'm well qualified for this so I at least should get serious consideration. The one person who I thought would be my biggest competitor is on the Search Committee for some reason. Very odd. They were grooming her for this or so I thought. So, I've got 2 irons in the fire if #2a doesn't work out. Timing is starting to suck however as we get closer and closer to Orientation and the beginning of school.
Tomorrow I head down to the Cape for my friend's engagement party. This will be my first really tough social even since i went AF. I dont' know anyone but my friend and her fince and they will be mingling. I'm also riding with them to the dinner party so I can't leave when I want. The other part is I'm very self conscious about how I look. I'm sure I've added 20 lbs since my skinny very fit friend last saw me in 2009. I have nothing to wear to this thing-all nice clothes don't fit anymore so my self confidence about meeting these new people is at an all time low. I'm also still very nervous about leaving all my guys with my hoarding friend. She has promised to clean up the living area and kitchen so there won't be hazards on the floors for LM to get into. Fingers crossed. So, this trip is going to be very stressful on all fronts. My one goal is to make it through AF. I don't really have any plan in place except to have an AF drink in my hands at all times and to dig deep into my memory and my committment to this lifestyle. I'm not worried about what people will think if I'm not drinking-could care less. I'm worried that I will feel so uncomfortable I will turn to AL for relief.
But, need to get through today's scorcher first. It's finally raining and there is a great breeze coming throught the windows. So nice to have the AC turned off!!
Will check in again tonite.

I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
