My internship started out like h3ll...racially oppressive in-patient Catholic psychiatric hospital + useless advisor + dual role supervisor = miserable + depressive first weeks + lack of sleep+ NO energy + weight gain! Enter awesome supervisor + supportive intern group + supportive seminar class = happy as $hit intern that is working with awesome supportive supervisor to change racist environment! Plus I'm loving working on the in-patient psych ward. Never a dull moment and I love the fast pace!

This might be a fun little 5 minute test for y'all.

ESFP....the only thing that has changed over the years for me is the Perceiving. It used to be Judging....think that was during my years as a training officer...lol. For jobs it said Social Worker...lol doing my MSW now.... -

First summer of grad school finished! My birthday was last week and I spent it with my gf and her family on the Acoma Pueblo reservation in New Mexico. I had a glorious time! The people are fabulous, and I've been invited back to stay with multiple family members ! Think I'm going to make this an annual thing. Now it's back to the grind. My internship starts on Monday...I'm looking forward to this new adventure in MSW.

Lol, I have the mean face too...it's not like I am trying to be that way. It's usually I'm in thought. There is Tinder, an app that you can try. It's known as a hookup site, but I've met some really nice guys off of it. It links to your Facebook page, so I would suggest you make a new one just for dating, also get a new email and a google number...again, just for dating. Once a guy is deemed "worthy" you can give him your real number. I've had to take myself off of discovery as I was chatting with too many guys. Aww, heck,,,it has been an absolute BLAST!!! I actually told my mother that I'm dating. This morning I realized that I have had more dates in the last 3 1/2 months than in my entire teenage years... Try it, you both have to swipe right to be connected. Can't hurt...I also put in my little profile (not that guys really read them...No marrieds, separated, open relationships and NO Hookups!) Good luck...enjoy the you that you've always wanted to be!

Getting back to the program. I'm maintaining within 2-4 pound fluctuation, but don't want it to go over that. One day at a time....

Awhile back, OKCPirate wrote something that made a lot of sense for me. It's a numbers game. Go out have fun and date...date...date. Enjoy all that dating has to offer. Meet new people, have new adventures. You'll find out quickly enough what you like, don't like, and your must-haves. I'm a whole heck of a lot older than you, but I feel like I've started anew. This dating thing is FUN!!! (All the safety hints are true...) Addtionally, I take a pic of the guy and send it to my friends. We also agree that after X amount of time, I or they will call just to check in. (My daughter loves doing the check in...lmao)

I'm still doing the Tinder thing. Had two first dates last week. Both guys I had spoken to at least a few weeks prior but grad school got in the way. One was VERY supportive and would check in to see how I'm doing. He lives down on the shore in CT about an hour an a half away. He's a chef...and man makes GREAT ribs. I'm NOT open about my surgery but something I said clued him in and he asked, so I told him. Nice guy, we shall see where it goes. He's definitely looking at finding someone for a solid relationship. The second guy I texted out of the blue since I was on vacation. We went for a drink and talked. He's been divorced for about six months...WARNING BELLS*** He lives in the next town and he will be good for doing motorcycle trips and just hanging out as friends. There are a bunch more on Tinder that are interesting...I'm just having fun at this point. Anyone tickles my fancy enough....I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!! -

Ok, so what am I missing? Didn't seem like there was anything wrong...think I'll go look again at it. -
After the plastic surgeon explained what it was, I had thought each boil was a new place but come to find out it was a sweat gland and mostly the same ones were getting infected. Lovely blockage that happened for no reason. I wash them gently let them air dry then put on a dressing to keep them from rubbing and sticking. I try...try not to pop them unless they get too huge. Good luck with them @samaraousse , I'm really hoping to get them removed. I have them under my arms also, but right now they haven't been bothering me. I've looked at post-surgery scars of the armpits and I really don't like them.

I'm going back to the plastic surgeon in September. My weight has been stable, so hopefully I can get the thighs along with the panni done. The hs comes and goes still. Horrible with the heat.

Wore out from first semester of grad school. I'm eating horrible with very little sleep. Have this week off then again for killer 5 weeks....wth have I gotten myself into????
-
Try this again...something clicked...I am eating better and the scale and my body shape are moving once again in the right direction. I think it's because I started grad school today. I NEED structure, order and discipline.. Just got home from day one of FOUR DAYS. OF orientation,! Iim changed into workout clothes and going to hit the gym. It doesn't hurt that I've been seeing 5k dude regularly.. As for the tattoo guy, done. I'm glad I met him as he helped me get out of my head. 5k just "gets" me. He doesn't know about my surgery, but does know about me having twins and my pannus. His comment was, "So the f@ck what!". Summer activity partner it is....

I had TWO dates today: #1 Went to Breakfast with Tattoo Guy. Ended up going to movies after. He is really easy to be around. The plan is for us to still go out Friday night. #2 dinner with the super fit, eat to live and not the other way around 5k guy who is in CT until September. He's from Seattle. He was a straight up TRIP and states exactly what's on his mind. We ended up sitting and talking for 2 1/2 hours at the Thai restaurant. It was a GREAT day! I have dated more in the last month than I have in the new millennium! I even wore a racer back style sleeveless top. I've been working on not being so self-conscious about my flabby arms. @ I should've said that there is something GREAT going on with the men in MA/CT. Or maybe I have figured something about dating out. I have one more week to have fun, then I'm deleting all my profiles as grad school activities begin on June 2nd. What a ride I've had....loving my sleeve! @@OKCPirate Thank you.

There is something definitely going on with the dating pool in the MA/CT area! I have a date Thursday with a guy who wanted to know if I would like to do a 5k with him this weekend. Ummm that would be a NO! I'll do the color run 5k trotting and walking because you end up a mess, and the Rugged Maniac 5k obstacle course because it was crazy fun with a large group...we redid some of the more fun obstacles. This dude is totally into fitness. I told him that my body was built for Comfort, not Speed! So dinner and drinks and conversation it is. On Friday, I'm going out with Tattoo Guy to dinner and to see a friends band. (So far he's the one I'm most interested in) Then somehow/somewhere over the next week I'm trying to work in the three other guys that want to meet up. Have no idea what the heck is up...but you know what...I am going for it! I think that it's my willingness to just go out on the limb and have fun. As I told my girlfriend who started me on this latest Quest...you aren't courting, you don't have to be intimate (I'm so old skool that I don't kiss on a first or second date...haven't kissed ANY of them), you don't have to marry them...just go out, have fun, be yourself. I'm definitely learning more about myself! As for the recovering alcoholic, a previous date, I decided that I can't do it. He was nice enough, but I just can't, and the attraction wasn't there for me.

@ You should check it out now. It's an app that uses your Facebook. It doesn't comment or anything, but that's where you get your pictures from. From what I've gathered over the past couple weeks, some folks make new Facebook profiles so that the app doesn't have much to grab from. (Dang married men, for one) Try it out, you have nothing to lose as to chat with someone, you BOTH have to swipe right. If you pick a person and then they pick you, you'll get a new match icon. The odds are much better of getting a response this way than other dating sites. Plus you choose the distance. I've gone on a couple of dates and am lining up more for this week. It's been so much fun. No high expectations, just dating...think last weeks date, "race guy" will end up being a really good friend. @ You should check it out now.
