I love it when the weather gets nice, and the sun shines. I don't know if it's the vitamin D, or longer days, or what, but I'm at the beginning of my good season, wondering how this tim, I can make it last all the way through the "bad season".

I planted cucumbers, and beans, and onions, today, I also noticed, that the zucchini I planted a week or so ago has sprouted, as well as the carrots, and lettuce, and radishes. I think I should leave early on my way to work tomorrow, and water the stuff I planted at the Ex's house, too. I'm not sure if he is watering or not, and it's been really dry and sunny the last couple of days. As soon as my work week is done, I need to get tomatoes planted. I have sprouts, and seeds. I want to see which does better. The sprouts with the head start out in the cold with a cover, or the seeds planted now that it's warm.

This is going to be the summer of getting my shit together. I worked hard all winter trying to set this up, and now I've got to see just how much I can accomplish. :/ I'm worried I'll burn out.... That usually means it's time to start hanging out with friends more.

I'm really looking forward to having a steady schedule, and a consistent paycheck. I'm looking forward to getting new clothes, and keeping my nails painted, and my hair kept up, and feeling good about myself again.

I started a new job yesterday. It's a full time job. Yeah, I'm excited. It's a front desk position at a community garden. Yep, I'm seriously excited. I get paid to make sure people's doctors notes check out, and to be an expert on different types of cannabis... How'd I get so lucky?

This last week was super long work week for me. I got to work at my favorite theatre in Seattle. I got almost no sleep all week long, and drank way too much coffee, but as always it was an incredibly rewarding experience, where I worked hard, and got praised for doing so, by both my coworkers, and supervisors.

Also, about half way through the week, I got a phone call from the performing arts center, that I had recently applied for a full time job at. I have an interview tomorrow morning. I've been researching how to interview well, and the program, and what I would be doing if I were to get hired, because for the first time in my life, I have an interview for a full time salaried job, that could actually change my life. I don't feel particularly qualified for this job, but I have a good review from the person I'd be replacing, and I know the job has been open for almost seven months. I also know it's going to take every bit of my intelligence, ambition, and advice from all my friends in the business, to be able to do this job well, and keep it, if I do get it.

But if I get it, I could be out of debt by the summer.

Ugh! Last night was miserable. I had a fever, I couldn't sleep, and couldn't keep food or water down. I'm resting today... I hope the sun is still out tomorrow, and that I feel up to going out, and going for a nice long walk around town.

So, I'm considering going on a diet. I promised myself I'd give up fast food, which honestly is not a big accomplishment for me. I rarely feel the need to go through a drive through. It's sweets that are getting me at this point. I know full well giving them up entirely isn't going to happen, but I've got to do something, and regiments have always helped me regain control in the past. What ever diet I build, I want it to be super simple, delicious, and nutritious. I'm even okay, with the same thing every day for weeks at a time. I think I have some menu building to do.

On top of that, I really should start doing yoga every day again.

I know how to be healthy. I just haven't been, in a long time. I really have no excuse. I've just stopped paying attention. :/

Also, I think after valentines day, when the price of strawberries goes back to normal, I'll buy a bunch, and make fresh juiced strawberry lemonaid, with a little bit of ginger in it, and mix it with my Vanilla protein powder. Hmmm Sounds delicious.

My mind is starting to race with ideas... This is how I know it's spring. I made it through another winter, a little bit more emotionally stable than the winter before, but less financially stable. Oh well.. Sacrifices have to be made for good mental health I guess. But now it's spring, and I have a chance to make next winter even better, by working hard, and squirreling away the money and food, and projects to keep me entertained.

I have so much to do... I need to find some motivation.

I got another job... Or rather, I got rehired at one of my old part time jobs. The point is, I now have two part time theatre jobs. I might actually get enough work to get by. I've got two more theatre positions I want to apply for, and then I'll start the balancing act...

Woo! It's time to get my life together.

Today felt like the first day off since I came home from college. I sat out in my fort, and ate pudding cups, while taking pictures of my cat, and dog.
