Stuff that's been going on...

Ugh, it's been a long week and there's still one more day before the weekend!!

This week has been so emotionally stressful! I have a sick baby, a car that needs new breaks (urgently), Greg and I have been having 'issues' (though nothing too serious) and just a shit load of small things.

Well, as for Amelia, we are going to try a new formula. Her doc suggested a soy based formula so we'll see how that goes (but if you want to read the details of what's been going on with her, you can read all about it here: http://frye79-lifewithamelia.blogspot.com/).

The breaks on my car have become worse. I've known for a while that I will need to replace them but with all that's been going on since the beginning of the new year, it's been impossible for me to get anything done, personally. Plus, this is something that is going to set me back a couple hundred dollars and I haven't been able to save. So, this Monday or Tuesday, my breaks have finally begun to scream at me whenever applied. So, I called my Mom and Van for help, which they are going to do. And, the plan is to drop off my car on Saturday morning at some place in Millersville. They gave me an estimate of $275 for the complete job. I just hope that this will be a simple break job and not require anything more extensive. I am hoping that I will receive my bonus (given to me in Visa Gift Cards) from work soon so I can give them to Mom and Van as some form of repayment.

Tuesday was Greg's 29th Birthday. I tried to take him out to dinner, but Amelia wasn't cooperating. We attempted to eat at Olive Garden (I haven't been there in ages and that was all the way in Westminster) and ended up ordering everything to go. Greg was kind enough to drive all the way back to my place so we could eat together. It feels good to be able to give Greg things for his birthday this year. So far, I've given him 3 new shirts, a $15 iTunes card, new lip balm, taken him out to dinner and lunch, and then there is the surprise for this weekend of which I am so happy that we'll be able to do.

Adam finally confirmed that he received the divorce papers. He says that he doesn't know what part to sign and I told him the part where he is agreeing to the terms of the divorce and I haven't heard from him since. I really hope this divorce goes through smoothly.

As I mentioned in the earlier post, I'm still feeling... 'blah' about what's been going on between Greg and I. I really don't want to feel hurt like I do. I know why he didn't do it and such but... ugh, I just want this to go away and the only way it will is if I forget about it and move on (without thinking about it; yeah, easier said than done at times). Greg wasn't very chatty via email today. And, I feel that is partly due to me telling him that I am still hurt, though not as much as I was before which I believe is a good sign, about his actions (or lack thereof). All he wrote back was ":(" and I replied with "Would you rather know the truth or have me tell you something just to make you feel better?". He never replied. But, he did call after I picked Amelia up from the sitters though we didn't talk about 'it'.

At least there is some positiveness going on (sorta)...

My cycle is completely over!

This evening, at work, I was told by the Chief Of Operations that they are going to use my phone calls as examples to share for some big executives in the company! I am in the sales/marketing team (and there are only two others which were recently brought on as permanent employees and I am still a temp, for now...) and they chose me as the best example. But, I have to give credit to PRP for teaching me excellent call center skills due to their strictness; One of the 'skills' I learned was not to say 'um' or uh' during a conversation and I over heard the COO commenting to another higher-up (not an executive) about another sales team members conversations are full of 'ums' and how unprofessional the call sounds even though it was a sale. And, the COO already has a great call of mine and the only reason he isn't using this call is because I had a slight coughing fit during the verification process. Granted, I was apologetic about the coughing fit to the customer and the customer and I had developed a good re pour during the phone call... so, that is kind of exciting.

I bet you didn't know that it has taken me all day to complete this entry. As I type, it is currently 10:43 and I am watching House Hunters on HG TV. Greg should be calling soon.
