A month

A month has gone by and have not posted. Mostly I just do not know what to write, I think I am way to self-conscious about my writing. Granted I am not sure who I am trying to impress anyone that would read this should know me well enough to know that I have to proofread things about a zillion times before I should let anyone else read my writing. So I guess I will update about a few things and then just go from there.

I have been working the overnight shift at Hickory Trail for a month now and I have a new understanding of how much I crave my sleep. Sleeping during the day poses interesting new problems in how to get enough sleep to feel rested. You can hear every little sound around you, sun light seems to be able to creep around the blinds to strike your face, and then randomly you wake up in the middle of the day and think I really need to run errands and take care of stuff only to realize half way into shampooing your hair that it is the middle of day(night) and you have only been asleep for about 3 hours. Although I think in some respects I am getting used to it, or at least I can convey a better understanding to my clients with insomnia. :)

As to other projects I have one client in private practice that I am seeing regularly, and that is a terrific feeling to finally have reached the end of this road, and have accomplished the goal of working with someone as my own boss. Now I want to build the private practice into the largest most successful practice in North Texas, I figure that it is a good idea to aim high in my goals for the practice.

I have been using eharmony, with what I thought was some success over the last 2 months. Success I can characterize as lots of conversations via email, and 4 dates with the same person in a row, until I was told the ultimate in relationship stopping cliched sayings. "I like you as a friend, but not romantically" (just a variety of, lets be friends). So what do you in these cases, well I am not sure if there is a set guideline for this but I went with the sure that is OK response and haven't called back since. Probably not the most mature thing to do, but what the hell I am tired of getting hopes up romantically to be dashed on the shores of fake cliches of friendship. A few rare folks have I really been able to transition into friendships after being let down in that manner, and for those that I have been able to develop friendships from I have been really lucky because they are great people to be friends with. Now I am off to slog though some gruelling late night paperwork.
