I’m in a sappy mood, so I’m going to go ahead and say that I love these girls. They deal with my snarky, realist/pessimistic attitude and weird humor all the time and keep me sane(ish).

Things I do to myself that I dislike

• Over think everything
• Let myself become invested in things that are likely temporary
• Feeling like my ideas of doing something independent and worthwhile are silly and insane and doubting myself.

trust is a two way street and that
I don’t have to…

Good things

• I ran a half marathon in under two hours (almost barfed at the end).
• Presented my SIP and actually felt good about it (I never feel good about presentations).
• I have two job interviews tomorrow, one for a field job at Yosemite.

Bad things

• One of those jobs is a volunteer position and the other has a mandatory May start date.
• I don’t know where I’m living in about two months.
