Not Been Grateful

I've been negligent on my posting of what I'm grateful for.

So here's some:

1. Tonight I get to hang out with my friends at Kerbey Lane: M, R, michelle, ironkat and claire. I am grateful that my life is such that I can drive places to see friends and eat out. I might be low on funds, but I can still eat out occasionally.

2. Yesterday I got to eat with my parents at Wildfire. I am grateful, so very grateful, both of my parents are alive when I'm old enough to appreciate them. And I might not like their politics and sometimes I get really really mad at them, but I do love them very much and for the most part we're pretty decent friends. I'm working on being more open with them about regular things.

3. I'm grateful I'm smart. I've been doing some amazing things with the beta of my test template for the work website. Gonna use xpath, ajax, javascript div showing and hiding, etc.

4. I'm grateful that I'm healthy. In fact I'm really really healthy. I've been running, kickboxing and doing the cardio at the rec center AND eating better. Taking my lunches to work (inspired by M!) and taking a lot of vitamins. In Oct I am wanting to get a physical so I can see how awesome a job I've done.

Update:
I've found out why I haven't heard from CNN - my salary requirements were way too high for their entry level web techs. Oh well.

J.K. is very very angry and wants nothing to do with me now and maybe forever. I am working hard on staying out of his way as much as possible. I hate that he's hurting and wish I could fix it and I regret a number of things that I've done, but I know we're both moving toward a better place. I just have to hope someday he recognizes how much he deserves from life and that he finds it.

Boss has stopped hitting on me, which is good, but now he really won't speak to me at all. Negative of that is that I'm unlikely to get a bonus this year since I'm now in a 'doghouse' of sorts, but there's nothing I can do about that. Let's hope he doesn't explode when I deliver the documents I'm gonna submit for a salary adjustment. Should be an interesting next couple of months.

Billy wants me to write him some letters of recommendation for the graduate programs he's applying to and its making me incredibly nervous. I don't want his chances screwed up because I didn't target the audience of the letter correctly or because they don't like the things I've said, the order I said them or the way I said it. Its a big responsibility but I'm gonna work on them this wkend.



Prof. Heng is wanting me to make her a logo and site design for her new globalization project and that makes me nervous too. I've never really been a designer, and even though I did a really good job on her previous site (above), that was more of a fluke and I for sure can't do a good logo. And I told her that, but she really wants this, so I'll do it. I've been trying to think in my head of what is homogenous across the middle ages (non-Euro-Centric), and the only thing I can come up with is the North Star.

I camped Leaping Lizzy last night and got bounding boots! Yay! I camped an nm successfully. It was a rush. So now I'm gonna camp the emperor a lot. Hopefully I can get a hairpin. And this weekend Gar is wanting help killing a scythe ws nm, so I will be doing that as well as maybe meriting online.

Also going to try to dig in the front yard and work on the front area. I've been putting it off and I'd like to see the front yard a little cleaner. Need to mow too. And finish up the wallpaper in the bathroom. Have to be careful not to be tempted to go to Lowes and spend a ton of $$ because I'm doing well financially as long as I don't buy anything :p Soon as I buy anything, I'm in the hole. So there's gonna be a lot of eating at home and holding off on home improvements for the next couple months.
