Progress!

Today was a pretty good day! I got a project almost done at work that has personally been hanging over my head for awhile. I went to lunch and had some errands to run. Errands that solved minor irritations. I am learning to become a little more assertive when things don't happen the way they are supposed to. For example, I took all my college diplomas to get framed on 5/21/05. Two weeks tops to complete. I call, they have one done, the other two had to be shipped to the main office for something special. "We'll call you when they're done." Ok, no problem! Today I called to check on the "status" of the framing. "Oh yeah, they're ready. It looks like they have been here awhile." One can be assertive without being agressive! The guy was very apologetic.

Another thing. I got a notice saying my rent was late. Uhmmm, excuse me, but I have never been late on my rent payments! (there's always a first time...) So I went and talked to the management. "Oh we're sorry! We must have lost it!" Good grief! They said to put a stop on it and would reimburse me for the fee to stop the check. So I had to take care of that today at the bank...since I didn't lose it, I didn't have to pay a fee. :)

Another thing. I made an appointment to go see the doctor. I haven't been to the doctor in years (literally). Just a regular check up. My mom will feel better too.

All that to say I feel productive...success...progress...has been made in my life.

It's really the little things that make life what it is...tomorrow will probably have it's own quirks to succeed through...it's all how we deal with them.
