So, I had some good things happen over the last few days.  I finally got my new car and it is very exciting and wonderful.  I also found a solution which seems to be working for a medical issue I have had for years and years.  When I finally faced the scale after a long time of slacking off, I found only about 3 pounds damage which was a very nice sort of miracle/second chance.

Aside from all of that, though, I had a bad day.  I was up for this promotion at work and did not get it.  After a regular interview, you usually get to go home and hear about it a few days later.  At this one, I just had to go back to my regular job and hope and hope I had made enough of an impression to be able to have it changed.  It was only about an hour later that I was given the bad news and I took it hard.  I was so overcome with disappointment and really felt that I had let my manager down, because she had such high hopes for me.  Anyway, I have a terrible headache and just keep crying.  This weekend I have to see my mean sister and I am not looking forward to it.  I also have a lot of studying to do for a possible job change which I really do not want, but would be better than what I do now.  :-/

I really noticed a change in my appearance when I had my suit for my interview.  The blazer fit fine, when it used to be popping buttons, and the pants were way way too big.  I used a belt on them, but my belt is now too big too and there is no hole where I need it.  It was extremely frustrating when I was getting ready with no money to buy new clothes, but pretty neat to think about now.
