Mama brag - CJ passed the entrance physical test for the fire academy. I forget the specifics of what they had to do, but I know CJ was unsure if he could do it. Step one of a million for the academy.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Yay CJ!
Aw, a coworker just came by to discuss processes with me and said "every time I come see what you do I feel like I need to step up my game". Validation! So nice.

If it's like it was when Hubby joined up, it's a bitch. Have you ever seen the Fireman's Competitions? With carrying bundles of hose up several stories of stairs?
Boy, I wish I'd seen Hubby when he was a fireman. 6'1", 58" chest and 32" waist. And he was able to carry three people and *run* with them out of harm's way. Woof.

And yay for me. I am one step closer to being back on meds. Saw therapist alone today for the first time. She said I had good self-awareness and boundaries- HA!!! So there brain. But agreed I needed some help at least for the moment with anxiety.
Next step is appt with GP to see if she will talk right away with therapist and write script, also possible hormone tests.

Yay CJ!
Good for you msbelle.
My boss displayed a level of petty today that I am still agog about. And of course, stuck me riiiiiight in the middle of the pissing contest. Sigh.

My author who didn't answer the requests for data on her paper...has still not answered, after another email and then a phone call from my boss.
Next step is someone a rung higher on the ladder will call and ALSO tell her that her article is being delayed because we really do have a tight schedule. There's virtually no wiggle room for lateness. An article can be late by maybe 2 days, but this author is close to 7 days late, so she's not getting published in the issue she was originally going to be in.
Schadenfreude is so fantastic.
