long time no write!

Life seemed pretty uneventful until last weekend. I guess I mean life had been more status quo than uneventful. I bought a new car last weekend. It's so pretty, so shiny, so speedy and smooth. I love it! I went with my sis and her bf to go see some music in Duluth. I hadn't been there in many (10+) years so it was sort of a "trip". I had a great time. The music was awesome and spending time with my sis was great.

After the show I realized that I stood and "grooved" my body throughout the whole show. I am fairly certain that I would not have been able to do that 50lbs ago. That and the fact that I did my best not to be too self conscious about enjoying myself at the show made the show that much more fun. I was hot and sweaty but was loving the music so much I decided not to care what I looked like. I know I probably shouldn't anyway but I do usually. I worry about what others are thinking about me all the time. I know it's none of my business what others think of me and in reality, I'm sure hardly a soul notices the things I think they do.

The rest of the weekend was great. I love the 4th of July family and friends gathering. The kids are getting so big and everyone seemed pretty happy. It was a beautiful day and I had a lot of fun.

I had therapy today. I went in still pretty giddy from my weekend (concert/car/party) and the fact that it was Friday put me over the top. My therapist told me today that she doesn't think there is any clinical reason for me to continue to come on a regular basis. She encourages me to come as I feel necessary but that it doesn't need to be regularly scheduled appointment. I don't exactly know I how I feel about this. My first thought was "I'm cured!" Haha I do feel good right now. I haven't felt depressed in a long time and I'm making steps forward in my life. I'm feeling better physically and I'm feeling more confident with myself. I think I'm alright with her assessment. I think down the road there will be a need to go back and I will schedule an appointment when I come to that road.

One final big event of the week. My best friend told me today that she has been promoted at work and will be moving to Wisconsin by the end of the month. I am ecstatic for her because I know how much she deserves and wants this. Of course I'm super sad for me because she's really the one I hang out with the most outside of my family. She's my connection to most non-family related social situations. Boy do I need to expand my base of friends. All of my other friends are married with children. I do see them from time to time but we are all so busy. Maybe I'll take a class or delve deeper into some sort of meeting "singles" vehicle. Thank goodness she's only moving to Wisconsin and not Phoenix like she'd have preferred. Phoenix would be fun to visit but Wisconsin is much more accessible.

Crazy that all this stuff has happened in the last few days. I wonder what next week will bring...
