I love my friends
I had a really nice weekend. Drove down to Baltimore to see Lois, Clark and Seymour (in the convertible). I had a really nice time there as I always do. I really wish I could get down there more often. Sunday I left early in the morning to go rafting. It was a perfect day for it. It was great- Sean, Kim, Scotty, Jesse, Harry, Sally, Juliet, Joan and Bobby as well as a few more. I did a little river swimming and a (very) little rowing and mostly just lazed down the river in the sun. On my way home I stopped off at Gracie's birthday party. It was a really fun, friend filled weekend. It was really just what I needed. It was just relaxed and nice and made me feel connected to all of these amazing people. I am really lucky.
I am not sure if I can keep my rape deterrent status as I was called in last night- but I wasn't on call, I was on the back up list- does it count? It was a pretty uneventful call and I really just tried to be a supportive, listening ear. I think I was successful with that. I don't think I did a great job and I offered to call a shelter and she turned me down and went home (He isn't physically abusive and she wanted to go home and get her daughter and have someone call her about shelters in the morning). It was good to go in though. Not good that someone needed it but it did make me feel like I am working towards my goals. I went to orientation for new job today so that was another step in the right direction. Now I have to make more progress with writing- I have been doing some reading but not enough.
I have to figure out a way to be on a diet without becoming obsessive about it. It is boring to be thinking about what I am going to eat and what I ate and if I should feel bad about it. I really want to try to find a way to focus on health and fitness and not think about weight. I want to be able to trust that it will fall into place and I want to be comfortable in whatever body I have now.
Quick notes-
Holden is getting engaged a week from tomorrow.
I have a pretty random date tomorrow night- have very few expectations for this one and fewer hopes but I will allow myself to be surprised.
