Work v. Life

So I have come to the realization that I am very successful in my career but I suck at life! There are several reasons I say that lets start off with the positives: I have done well in my 3 years (as of today) with Farmers. I have moved up 3 salary grades and promoted to my current position. My current position (which I love) is a contract position. The position is supposed to last for 12-18 months, I assumed that I would be there for 18 months. I just found out yesterday (through the grapevine) that mine and one other girls contract are going to be extended to 2 years!!! That is the most amazing news that I have had in so long! We must be doing something right and there is no longer (for a while) the added stress of trying to find another position that I might like. So I consider that a successful "career".

Now for the sucking at life part. I say this for many reasons: I had started walking (a lot) and even trying to run to lose weight. I had cut back significantly on calories and felt like I was very motivated I even found myself wanting to exercise which has never happened to me before. Well I ran the first night (not too much) and everything was fine I was feeling pretty good about myself. Then came night two.....I wasn't running that much but I had to stop mid run and tried to run again and my back just wouldn't let me do it. Well needless to say since that night I'm not sure I think it was Tuesday my back has been bad! Not as bad as it was before my treatments but definitely irritated. I even had to resort to taking a pain pill yesterday at work which I haven't taken since I started my treatments. I am hoping that I haven't injured it so much that it won't go back to okay without additional treatments. I am so upset!!! I was working very hard to lose weight and then this stops me. I always say I can't win for losing well that is the truth!

That is all for now I am getting in a negative mood just thinking about it and I must stop. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Long Time No Updates....

I know, I know it has been entirely too long (over 2 months to be honest). I got on the blogging kick and then kind of lost interest. I have no idea why just wasn't into it so once again I am going to try to keep up with things a little better.

I have a couple of things that I think need their own post so I will talk about those later. My birthday is coming up in about 6 days and I am not excited about it. 13th birthday was cool because you were a teenager, 16 was great because you could get your license, 18 you are semi-legal, 21 you can drink and get into the "cool" clubs. And I would have to say that 21 was the last good birthday. The rest of my birthdays from 21 have been depressing. I think that birthdays aren't as depressing for people if they are at least married and maybe have kids at my age. I am getting way too close to 30 and it is really starting to freak me out! So tomorrow Kellie is taking me out for my birthday "celebration". We are starting out the evening downtown at the Cox center we are going to watch Roller Derby. A girl we know from work is actually a player so we are going to watch her. Then we are off to CityWalk for dancing!! If you know me at all you know that dancing is one of my favoritest things to do. Well I haven't been dancing in so long actually since the end of March. Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long. Then Sunday my parents are coming down and we're going to have lunch at Olive Garden then have cake. It is so weird not to celebrate your birthday on the actual day.

So that is all for this post I have another one coming up right after this one so stay tuned.
