I woke up early despite not having anywhere to be. I cooked breakfast for me and the hubs and gave his in bed because I'm an amazing wife. Anyway, I left the pup care to Alex and settled in for some early morning video gaming. Civ V kept crashing on me, I think because of the setting. Once I switched it, this stopped.
I left the house at 9:40 as he was going to work and headed over to my evaluation appointment at Oswego Hospital Behavioral Services Division. It was pretty dead in there, which is fine for me. I did some Pokemo Go-ing and charged up my phone when I wasn't doing paperwork, which it turns out I did before anyway.
Megan was nice enough. I think my clients have talked about her before, but I didn't mind her at all. Part of me wanted to request Alan, who did my emergency appointment, but I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that and there was nothing wrong with her. She asked me questions about my life and childhood. I felt like crying several times because, as some of you know, my childhood wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. I mean, it wasn't all bad either but the bad parts were... well, pretty damn bad. I finally did cry when I was talking about my mother's anger problem and how that affected me and my reservations about having children. I have two more evaluation appointments to go to and the next one isn't scheduled for 3 weeks. I think I should be fine. My mental health symptoms are greatly reduced and my thoughts about death and dying are just passing thoughts as opposed to plans.
I came home to charge up my phone again and wait to see if my friend wanted to go to the gym with me, but he just woken up and I was raring to go, so I went on my own. It was legs and butt day and boy do I feel it. Did every exercise 100%.
I also messaged a tattoo artist about a water color semi-colon butterfly tattoo which will run be about $75. I want to get this in October. My friends have used this guy and recommend him, but he's out in New York Mills. Shouldn't be a problem if I schedule everything right. I need to get him a deposit.
After that I showered, got presentable, and headed to the first day of my new job for orientation at 3:00 PM. The orientation was boring, as one might expect, but I was excited to get started. After the formal part was over I got to call the referral list and viola! I have four clients between this week and next Monday. The financial end of this has got me a bit stressed. I won't be getting paid until the end of the month because of the nature of private practice and insurance payouts, but my husband doesn't seem worried so I'm trying to relax.
It was nice to see Alex after work, as we pulled into the driveway about the same time and we got to smooch and catch up a bit. Now I'm in my air conditioned room, relieved of my clothing, trying to cool down. Summer is not my favorite. I dislike being overly hot from low-level exertion. If I'm working out, that's one thing. If I'm walking around and sweating, we have a problem.
I am trying to eat clean at 80/20 for two weeks, which is going alright for just starting. I prepped salads for the week, green smoothies for a snack, and I have tons of fruits for munching on. I had an apple, a banana, and a good helping of delicious raspberries today along with my two salads, my morning veggie scramble, and coffee with half-and-half. The only thing that wasn't part of the plan was the cheese I just gorged on. No problems. The plan allows for this kind of a thing 20% of the time.
Anyway, the rest of the day should be pretty chill. I'm already feeling a bit sleepy so maybe I'll catch an early bedtime. Then again, maybe I'll play video games for a few hours. We'll see.
