I guess my 365 posts didn’t last that long. Even though I wasn’t necessarily too busy to post something everyday, there were times when I was simply too busy to take a picture everyday. The past two weeks have been hellish for me. I work in accounting and every year come audit season, it just gets so hectic. I had days where I was coming in at 5 am and leaving at 7:30 pm! I am an entry-level position mind you. Thankfully, all of that will be over soon. Why? Because I am getting a promotion. The details are still in the works and I am not sure the start date but it will be no later than March. It is all very hush-hush because of the circumstances but I can’t wait until I can tell everyone! I didn’t just pop back in to tell you good news though, I have some bad news too.

I thought today was my day off 😦

I am working on my day off! I am so thankful to even have a job now but being at work more than being at home, even on the weekends, gets exhausting. I get the next three days off because of President’s Day but I can already feel like today is going to be long.

Oh! I do have more good news, I have lost 7 pounds. I read somewhere that telling people about your goals, releases something in your brain that makes you feel like you have already accomplished the goal. I am not sure if this is true but I have still decided not to tell anyone about my specific goals. What I will tell you, is that my good friend Bryan and I decided to have a friendly weight competition. I say friendly because the wager is not necessarily based on the other person. If I win, I can buy myself Hulk Smash Hands but if I lose, I have to submit two grad school applications in the fall. He has similar goals himself. I don’t like the idea of positive reinforcement but mixing the positive reinforcement with the bet, almost makes it like I am holding myself accountable and Bryan is my support system.

Back to work for me but I should have some product reviews and some zoo pictures up here pretty soon.
