Mental & Emotional Health

After my own traumatic divorce, I never thought that I’d be excited about someone else getting married. I was bitter … I was angry … and I remember telling strangers (a bachelor at a strip club) “don’t do it!” over and over. Today I got the news that one of my best friends is engaged. The first time I met MissNPea was when we were both planning our weddings. She was to marry Mr.R. and I was to marry the X. MissNPea’s wedding fell through with Mr.R. decided that he wasn’t mature enough to get married (and he was damned right) but she and I remained close through my wedding planning, marriage and then divorce.

MissNPea called me from LasVegas today to tell me that she and Mr.Cee are engaged!!!! I had a feeling this was coming and so I was THRILLED to hear that it finally happened, and then, surprisingly enough, I was just as excited to hear that they’re going to be married while still in Vegas! I told MissNPea multiple times that if she got married in LasVegas I’d be upset and eat her leg, but today when she told me, all I could do was beam with joy. Mr.Cee is a wonderful man and I’m so very happy that she found him. While I am sad that they are getting married in LasVegas because I can’t see it, I’m ecstatic that life is falling into perfect place for my girl. This just means that eventually it will happen for me. : )

I am so thankful to have her in my life and she has been so incredibly supportive through my many emotional bouts and my not-so-emotional bouts as well. I am blessed to have this amazing woman in my life. MissNPea, I love you and cannot wait to hug your face and congratulate your married self in person!

So, yay for weddings, and then there has been good news on my side of the world as well.
1. I have remembered to take my meds two days in a row. (I had forgotten for two days in a row before this though.) I need to remember to do a rewards system for myself.

2. MissPea and I are going our seperate ways in life and moving in to our own apartments. I am nervous about this because I’ve never lived alone before, but I’m excited to try it out and see how I function. I’ve had quite a few friends offer their extra kitchen stuff (stuff I’m short on since the divorce) and I’m so thankful for them.

3. I had a great job interview today that I have a good feeling about. It’d be within a dance studio near where I live (now) and it would be full-time. SonE and I got along marvelously and she and I even went to lunch together after the official interview. I would LOVE to work in a dance studio and think that it’d be a perfect fit for me. While we were lunching, she told me; “we’re going to work great together” and then gave me the biggest grin with eye contact, so I have a hard time not believing her.

4. I then went to a open casting for a new sports bra line. The first part of it went really well, although they put me in a horribly itchy test bra first and then when I met the designer, he told me “you have a really nice set of breasts for such a small frame” and I almost burst out laughing right there. Then he told me that I was too thin to do fit testing for his new line so I didn’t make the cut. That’s okay, because apparently I have a nice set of breasts.
