rena_librarianFirst and foremost--Saturday night will be my LAST night working at Taco Bell. Monday morning I will be starting work at Computer Automations, and I'll post details later, when I am not quite so sleepy. In a nutshell, I will be a telemarketer--but don't worry, I'm calling school districts, not individuals, so I won't be calling you, lol.
(Please don't comment saying that everyone I talk to is going to hate me. I've already heard it, thanks.)
And, well, that's exactly one-half of the things I was feeling dissatisfied about in my life taken care of. ^_^
Went to the doctor today, all is well. Yay. Got my prescription set up to go for six more months, and everything ready to transfer to a doctor here in Mountain Home so I don't have to drive to Harrison again.
While I was over there, did some shopping with my friend LynnDee, who I hadn't seen in WAY too long, that was cool. (Nevermind that when I dropped her off and chatted for a while with her mom, her mom was asking about my plans to continue school. I'm not wasting my mind, thank you very much. I'm using it on the things I actually care about, using the side of my brain that's actually more developed--the creative side.) Bought some new clothes--a much-needed pair of black jeans and two TOTALLY not-needed tops. I'm between sizes at the moment shirt-wise, but out of all the things I tried on today, only one looked better in the bigger size, and one of the tops I bought today is actually a size smaller than the smaller of the two sizes I've been wearing! So yay. ^_^
Spoke with Kristi (the landlady) today (I had an electrical outlet die on me and her hubby, the maintenance man, had to fix it), and while she had me in the office, she told me that my move date had been backed off, from September 1st to sometime in October. Fine by me, I'd much prefer to move when it's NOT hot outside! Then she said, "Would you like to move into one of the units that's already finished, and just stay, instead of having to move twice?"
Um. YEAH. Good thing I never got around to ordering those address labels. XD
Almost went to the Harry Potter midnight premiere tonight, but snafus occurred. Oh well. I will definitely see it while it's in theaters, but since the midnight premiere is past, I will probably wait until after payday. I dooooo want to go to a book party, though. (I'm thinking of going in normal clothes and entering a costume contest as "young Mrs. Weasley." XD) Nico's buying it and has promised to loan it to me as soon as he finishes it--I'm going to wait and buy the paperback since I have all the first six in paperback.
Nico and his family are going to Silver Dollar City on Thursday. Guess who's getting to tag along? ^_^
Random side note: Not only is the shaved ice place open, they're open until 9 PM. OMG YAYZORS.

I'm down four pants sizes from the size where I topped out. Also, asked the doctor how much weight I've lost...17 pounds since I last saw her, last August, and 65 pounds altogether since I was first diagnosed. I won't post what I actually weigh, but suffice it to say I'm happy with those numbers. That seems kind of slow, but that's well over a pound a month, and I figure the slower I lose it the more likely it is to STAY gone. (I also think that part of the reason that I'm not losing weight faster is that I'm gaining muscle--I'm stronger than I used to be. Muscle weighs more than fat per cubic inch, so I'm losing size, but not weight.)

Too bad it RAINED all day today. >_< The only rides open were Fire In the Hole (which is pretty lame) and the laser-tag thing. When we realized that even the WALKING TOUR OF THE CAVE was closed we went down and got refunds. *headdesk*
