LP66's Journal

I decided to clean the slate. I'm forgetting the past and only going to look ahead (I'm going to try very hard anyway). Lots of crap has happened and I've dwelled on it, cried about it, my ass has gotten fat over it. Enough! I need my confidence back. I need some goals to keep me occupied.

I joined a new gym. I like it, it's less than 3 min from my house. I dyed my hair very dark brown and reshaped my eyebrows (I'm embracing the thickness). I'm attempting to perfect my skin with a new skin care routine. I'm being very diligent about taking all my vitamins and I drinking tons of water. I feel good. I'm trying to get to the gym 3x a week and I'm trying to not eat out of boredom.

Tomorrow I'm meeting with an old work friend who has connections with a place that I'm trying to get into. They're in a hiring freeze, as most places are, but maybe I can get my shoe in the door if I have her help. :) I already know that they like my portfolio, so that's good. So far I've applied to 51 places. (It's super shitty out there - don't lose your job!) But I have a couple of leads and hopefully something will come through soon. If not I've made plans to try for a job in retail (Anthropologie, J.Crew, Nieman Marcus...etc) I mean if I have to take a crummy job, I at least want a discount on clothes I really like! Duh. 

I'm pretty bored otherwise. I spend most days at home, cleaning, emailing, reading, watching movies, researching skin care. I go to the gym and walk in the park. Occasionally, I get to run some errands. It sucks because we have to be VERY strict about money cuz we only have one income now. I can't do anything that requires spending including driving too much because that's gas money!
