Slowly getting there!

So I went to sleep deeply depressed last night. After a week of being here, I still hadn’t found an acceptable place to live, which means everything else in my life and transition is held up. I tried calling JC for some comfort to my loneliness and stress, but to no avail. Once that man is dreaming, no amount of ringing can rouse him. If I softly call his name, he will answer me and open his eyes, but the phone or alarm will ring all day long. I ended up falling asleep anyway and woke to a strange headache that throbbed above my eye. I worried my whole day would remain sullen and fruitless.

But things quickly picked up! I drove down to apply for that condo in DuPont and found out I’m the first in line. All they would do is run a credit report, so being close to 800 I have no worries. Tomorrow I’ll call to confirm everything is set, and drive back down to Olympia to sign the lease and start moving in. This means I can finally do all the moving in crap, buy groceries and cook good food, and focus on PT!

Speaking of PT, Natalie and I were able to visit Trident Athletics today and the co-owner Amanda was awesome. She was high-spirited, excited, cute, and had a great body–all the motivation we needed to give it a try. Friday we get to go back and do a little intro session to see how we like it. I imagine we will love it. And I love having a solid PT partner! I’ll keep the blog posted on how CrossFit goes for us… I plan on losing at least 20 lbs by the time I get to Germany during the holidays, and this might do it! This is maybe the first time (at least in a long time) I’ve been genuinely excited about exercising and working up a sweat. :]

All in all, it was a pretty sweet day. I love when that happens.
