i hate trying to think of new titles all the time

For the most part things are going pretty good. i have gotten applications done for some various types of assistance, as well as re-applied to grad school to start either this summer or fall. i bought a lawn mower today and cut down the overgrowth that is once again a front yard. it was hard, but also theraputic. i'm actually looking forward to getting the back yard done too- lol

Hmmmm, what else....mentally, i'm in an ok place. i'm tired. i started going to overeaters anonymous at Gretchen's nudging (not very subtle nudging either), and though i have only been once, i think i will keep going for awhile. i am mentally tired- it's been an emotional time with facing my problems with food, but despite that, i also know that i can get better, and that there is hope....i havent felt that in a long time- oh, the light at the end of the tunnel fades and disappears around corners, but overall, i at least know with certainty that it is there.

Briscoe and i have almost completed the advanced training dog class. he is doing well. i, however, need more work- lol! My teacher fusses at me all the time for not being consistent enough and now she tells me that i have to loosen up with him, cause he is being a stubborn pain, and we need to make training more fun. So, tomorrow i am going to the dollar store to buy a bunch of stuff that she wants me to get for him. The good thing though is that she has encouraged me to apply for a dog training position because she said i am very very good at it, and i have my second interview on monday. would only be part time, but something is better than nothing, right?

So, this has been a long one....so much more to say, but why waste a future entry?? lol

Drop me a note to let me know you found your way here- cause commenters i am missing, i will get in touch with.
