Forward Movement!

So the two day temp job has now turned into a 1-3 month temp job. Hooray! I'm in the accounting office of Keurig - that fancy little single cup coffee maker company. The people there are all really nice... and of course, all the coffee I want during the day is free. Plus, since Kelly has a Keurig at home, I can snag some K-cups to bring home as well. Hehe.

And on a related note... I've now had a phone interview and taken a computer skills test for a job at the Tufts-run USDA research center. And I'm scheduled to go in this coming Friday to interview in person - with four different people, all in separate interviews... and now I'm actually up for two different positions there. Both are administrative assistant type work... just in two different offices. Apparently they think I'd be good for either job, so I get to interview with the bosses for both of them. So hopefully that means I'll get hired there!

On the fitness front... well, I've had mixed success, but I did get my arse up twice to go to the gym before work - yes, *before* work! - and felt just awesome both days. Those were also the nights that I slept at Kevin's house. The nights I slept at home I couldn't get myself up early enough. I think it's because he knows I want to get up and go, and just him being there motivates me to get up and do it. Even though he doesn't get up... just knowing that he knows... it helps. Although, it's not like I hide that I didn't make it the other days... but I guess in the moment it's that little push I need. This week my goal is to make it all four days. That means getting up about 5am. Which seems crazy to do voluntarily... especially when I hated it so much as a teacher.

There's just something about having a schedule that feels really good. And actually working during the week... it makes the weekend all that much more relaxing and fun! Hehe. Not that I didn't know this before... but it's different when you're teaching. Work always comes home with you. Even though accounting is by no means exciting... I love that it stays at the office.

I can feel a positive momentum building. I'm trying not to get too excited, or get my hopes up too high. But it feels sooo good to sense that finally some things are working my way. And if I'm lucky, it will continue.
