Domino Effect

Ever have one of those days when EVERYTHING sucks? You wake up late, have bad hair, can't find any clothes, the boss is crappy, the clients crappier, fight with your spouse and the dog pees on the bed?

Well I had the OPPOSITE kind of day.

I was up in plenty of time for work. Had a good breakfast and a pleasant-enough husband. My outfit was a cute one and I had on new shoes. My two-minute commute was uneventful, and the HR lady at the new job was a Cowboys fan. So far, so good.

The second half of my work day consisted of meeting my wonderful coworkers, whom I'm already excited to be working with. My mentor was very reassuring and answered all the questions and quelled my insecurities. My supervisor sang my praises to other case managers, based entirely on my interview. The man who is going to be training me for the next few days grew up in Ft. Worth, so we had an instant connection. At the end of the day, he encouraged me to ease into work and not let it be another stress in my life. Can you believe it? Someone in leadership, at a new job, telling me to take it easy?!

I got home to a husband who was in a great mood and had a freshly brushed mouth. He planted a big ol' smooch on me before we took the pups up to have dinner with Pops (father in law). BBQ ribs are good the second day too! The gentlemen watched a fb game while I made update phone calls to mom, grama and auntie. I was happy to report I have the best feeling I've ever had about starting a new job with this one.

I took off for the gym and while making my way through the building, another woman asked if I WORK there?! So apparently, I looked like I belonged there! I beat out 30 minutes on the elliptical, a soundtrack of fave tunes on the iPod. Off to the grocery store, where my great energy, great day and great mood culminated in making great choices. Got some protein drinks for Craig and I, and we're even going to try a mango!!!

Watch out world, Here I Am!!!
