I KNOW sj. For whatever reason I was sure this was Thursday when I woke up.

Which, this Thursday, not really looking forward to it as that is the celebration of life for our friend who took his life a few weeks back. CJ's Search and Rescue team will be there in force along with all the parents. My social anxiety is already ramping up.

And how come my social anxiety flares for some things and not others? I just applied to be the Training and Liaison Coordinator for Denver Comic Con. Tons of human interaction and me telling people what to do and fielding questions and it is LOTS. But I would really like the job. (Helps that the Volunteer Services Manager sent me the job description before posting it).

For whatever reason I was sure this was Thursday when I woke up.

Me too! Is something timey whimey happening?

Good luck, Suzi!

Maybe it's just something Thursday in the air. Never could get the hang of Thursdays...

Good luck on both fronts, Suzi.

Yesterday I sent an email saying "I want to have this done tomorrow (Wednesday)". And then had to send another email specifying that my brain was wishful thinking.

My brain is going all ComicCon instead of focusing on work. What hotel should I stay at downtown? Is it too early to ask what hotel the other coordinators are staying at? Even if I don't get THIS job, I will still be volunteering for the whole event including set-up/take-down. How much time should I take off work? Hmmm, the Monday after is July 3rd and I'll have the 4th off anyway. How soon will I have a meeting schedule so that I can plan to get homework done AND prep for the meetings?

SHUT UP. You have work to do woman. You are taking one day off this week, so you need to get ahead of the game here. Aaarrrggg.

Oh, and the few times my brain HAS taken a break from ComicCon, it then wonders about the logistics of making my cousin's 60th birthday in Tahoe in August. Oy. I guess I just wanna be anywhere but here right now.

Good luck Suzi!

Tuesday is Therapy day. And I managed to keep my upset over the election down to less than half (overall) which is good and a couple sessions before I couldn't come up with goals and now I have two - get a full time job that won't stress me out (even if it's only for a year or so) and work on feeling confident in getting out and doing things both so I can be more of an activist and also social.

And then I was able to talk about some things that I kept minimizing and telling myself were no big deal and my therapist pointed out that when I first started going to the group he asked me some questions related to that and I wasn't able to answer and without prompting I'd just shared things and that was progress.

Also I heard back from a guy I've been talking to. Lives in Asheville some kind of engineer contractor, likes nature and books, sounds like financially very secure (and thus out of my league) but I finally talked to him on the phone for over an hour! We have figured out what to do when we meet just not when.

We're going to meet at Battery Book Exchange and Champagne Bar to chat and peruse books and wander a bit around town.

askye - all of that sounds GREAT!!! I'm glad you are seeing progress in therapy and you have a couple of great goals there.

Plus date potential. Don't cross him off just because he is financially secure. Connections happen when they happen, regardless of where people are in their life arc. Taking for an hour on the phone? That is huge. And I LOVE your planned outing. That sounds like great fun with lots of topic jumping off points. Great way to get to know each other.

Man, I am in full-on don't wanna mode.

I just received an email from my doctor. I definitely have gallstones. She's going to set up an appointment for me to meet with a surgeon.

smonster- I'm more worried he'll cross me off when he knows me better.

He asked me if that sounded okay and I don't remember what I said but something like "it's sounds better than an amusement park!" And less of a chance to stare at each other awkwardly, there were a few awkward pauss on the phone but not as bad as my other date.
