I have been studying a lot lately. Next month, I will be taking the PHR exam. $300 for the test and the class cost my job about 1200. In return, if I get certified, I can blow that rickety old popsickle stand and exchange it for another monotonous, yet higher paying job that steals my soul. And more importantly, when we move back to NOLA I will be more marketable and spend less time broke and jobless.

Meanwhile, I also been doing a little bit of crafting. And am thinking about doing some things for Ebay geared toward expectant mothers. More on that later once I iron out a few kinks and revisit it after the big test.

My happiness level has been a bit higher. For the most part, other than this whole Memorial weekend, I have been doing my diet fairly well. I'm working out most days and watching what and how much I am eating. I would say that I have cut out soda, but I really don't drink a lot of it.

I have also been keeping track of my :cough: movements. For the gasterointenstinalist. So I don't have to go back a month after my first visit. More than likely I will anyway but I am trying to cut him off at the pass. But for the most part, the diet and exercise are releaving some of the pressures in my tummy. Though i am tempted to start on apple cider vinager pills, I hear they make you poop!

I am also, working on how I deal with things. Better for me really. I don't want the strain of blood pressure. I don't need that added stress in my life.

The year is almost half over. I don't know what to feel about that.. Other than scared about saving money to move yet excited because it is a lot closer. I constantly worry about liking New Orleans again. Or feeling content. I haven't ever been. That's why I am here in Florida, wishing I were there. Will i get there and wish I were someplace else?

I hear that Portland, Oregon is nice... Except it has a high population of homeless kids, which is sad...
