geminigirlStill need to sit down and call Rach and tell her I got engaged. I'm not sure what's keeping me from doing that. It's just one of those weird things.
Filling out student loan consolidation paperwork. I feel like these loans will never be paid off.
Mostly caught up on paperwork at the office. I need to write my monthly report, which I'll do tomorrow or something.
Working every Saturday in March. This makes me very grouchy. Cayne, if you were planning on coming down, let me know...you're welcome to come down and hang out in my office during training. I'm not teaching the whole time, only some sessions, so you and I can hang out, along with the other people. (My boss would love it if you came down-she's anxious to meet you, along with everyone else.)
(interlude-just got a super cool special project at work, to actually develop a real negotiation skills workshop. I've got bits and pieces on negotiation skills that I use, but now I get to actually present an entire session about it, and build it in such a way that I can train others to do it, or pass it on. Neat!)
Contemplating applying for a Price Fellowship for this summer.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
melebeth, rivka, I probably need your help with this-you guys are probably the best resources for helping me write an abstract for a research project. (The fellowship basics...CDC fellowship for people working in HIV prevention, which send you to Atlanta for a month to work on a research project relating to HIV prevention. CDC pays your living expenses in Atlanta for the month, your job agrees to continue to pay your salary while you're there, and there are a bunch of other conditions. They offer I think 6 fellowships each year.)

polyamory makes me even more grateful I am for the support my friends have given for our decision to get married. Please keep reminding me that you are okay with it, and that you do support it. Especially with this mornings events, and the president backing a consitutional amendment to ban same sex marriages. (Interestingly enough, the CNN.com poll that asks if the Constitution should be amended to include a ban on same sex marriage is at this moment, 55-45 against an amendment.)
I will feel much better when I'm not stressing over money, as I am once again at this moment, and when I'm not worrying about finding a job near where I'm moving to.
Slept a bit better...six hours, woke up once or twice during the night. Six is much more reasonable.
Looking forward to the weekend already. Only a few more days.

(I'm going on the assumption that you feel marriage is right for you since you said "yes" to your beloved.) This is a commitment between the two of you and if it's right for you then it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks, you know?
