Overdue Update

The job search is slow, but on Friday the perfect position was posted. I think I'll just have to make a pest of myself until they relent and hire me.

To answer a question, while my weight loss struggle has been long and hard, even life-long, for the last couple of months I've been going to LA Weight Loss for weekly check-ins and mini counseling sessions related to diet. I signed up under their "LA Express" promo. I haven't been as diligent in the past couple of weeks about following the plan, actually getting less food than is recommended, but am committed to feeling better about myself and my body and have recommitted to following the diet plan.

In other news, being a hypochondriac isn't easy. But, am I still a hypochondriac if there are real things wrong with me? Such as, last week I got shingles. Yep, a little old lady disease, and sure as shit I get it at 32 years-old. Stress, the doctor says. While in some ways it hasn't been too terrible, it is persistent. The pain chipping away at my sanity one second at a time. Yes, it's true, I'm a wimp, so it isn't really about how bad the pain is. Persistence, like I said.

I haven't been able to see Alyssa since I've been sick for the last couple of weeks, and don't want to expose her, but her mom says she's doing great, getting bigger, and smiling lots. What a sweet kid!

That's it for now. Hopefully I'll be writing about my new job next time!
