One idea off the list...

I went to Portland today and began the preliminary research into a career avenue. I quickly saw a stop sign when I realized that it was going to cost me nearly 32k and take 3-4 years to complete.

It was very frustrating to realize that I wasn't going to get to pursue that avenue; I was intrigued by the idea of the career possibilities. It is what it is I suppose.

It did help me to gain new perspective into what I am doing now. I am blessed to have a job, and one that does support my son and I. I just wish that I enjoyed it more. Oh well. We can't enjoy every minute of every day can we? Maybe we can, I just have to figure out how.

I had a great dinner with J & miss E tonight. Always good for chat and baby social time :) I look forward to our next get together. I gained some valuable insight into interviews and what are the right questions to answer, and which ones really are trick questions. Maybe that will help me.

I am now on a retail hiatus. I have definitely outdone myself on my recent spree. I guess not smoking really did leave me wide open for abusing my shopping addiction ;) I am proud that even with all of the circles and knots I have wound myself into I didn't even have one puff of a cigarette. I definitely thought about it--and ABSOLUTELY wanted one, but I still haven't found that darned emergency pack (lol).

Here is to a good attitude and a relatively easy workday! (please oh please)
