Plumbing...OVER!

As of Friday morning, all of our plumbing issues are over! At least for now they are (knock on wood). And, it didn't cost me nearly as much as I thought it would. My mom said if I could get everything taken care of for less than $1000, it would be a miracle. Well, the grand total for the water heater, fridge, toilet line, new toilet and the front yard debacle: $850! It's still a lot, but at least it's over.

I was in a huge funk at work on Thursday. My allergies were killing me, I had to work on my birthday (something I vowed to never do...and that tradition will contiue again next year!), tired, stressed...just all around sad. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me why everyone was annoying me, why I was considering quitting my job, why I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep for a really, really long time. But today, now there's a much different story. I am not dreading work, I'm in a good mood, and even though I am still tired, I am surprisingly refreshed! I guess considering it was the last week of my second class, I had a final and a presentation to give on Saturday, and I was worried that this final plumbing cost would eat up my savings, I can see why I was in such a funk last week! I'm not really a depressive person...I'm usually the optimistic, glass half full, rainbows and sunshine coming out of my ass all day kind of person. So, it really threw me for a loop. I don't want to quit my job. It's a good job that pays well and in this economy, can you really ask for anything more right now? I was just getting down and being treated like crap from fellow co-workers sure as hell didn't help anything! Of course, that co-worker isn't here today, so that could be another reason why today is so much better...let's check back tomorrow!

Speaking of tomorrow, another co-worker and I have decided that we are going to start weight training on our lunch break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will probably have to take an extra half hour for lunch, but I can make that up by taking only half a lunch break on Mondays and Wednesdays. Plus, that will keep me in my office during my lunch break and away from fast food! I haven't made out so well on that promise to myself. I have still been eating horribly and I have bought new clothes! Where the heck is my willpower these days?! But, I need to recommit myself and I am ready to do that. After all, even if I only go swimming in Jonathan's parents' backyard, I want to look halfway decent in my swimsuit!

Maybe I will start blogging about what I do on my lunch breaks...maybe that will keep me commited...
