In love with the Green Lady
I love my job. I kid you not. Ever since I transferred to the new location, I have loved every minute of it. I wouldn't quit if you paid me. Well, lets just say it would take a lot of money for me to quit. A lot.
I worked a split shift today. In the morning, I worked at my old store. It was exactly how I remember it. It was as if nothing changed. I was there for only three hours, which went extremely quick, and then I was off for four hours.
The other half of my shift was at the new store-my store. I love it there. I click with everyone and it runs so smoothly. It's actually a pleasure to go to work and I look forward to it each day that I do work.
Anyway, I just thought that I would share that with you guys. No more whining from me. Things are really looking up.

Two weeks, baby!
That's right, in two weeks I will be in Wisconsin enjoying a badly needed vacation. It has been two years in the making and it's finally happening. For one glorious week I will leave my cares and worries behind and just relax.
Which leaves me to my other point. This vacation is completely unplugged-which means that I am leaving my laptop at home and I will do my best to avoid computers at all costs. I need total rest and relaxation and I need to unplug from my life for the week that I will be gone. Not just for my physical well-being, but also my mental, psycological, and emotional wellbeing as well. I need to let go and just let things be and to lose control and enjoy life once more. As anyone who's read this blog knows, I desperately need to unwind.
It's not just a vacation from my job, it's a vacation from my life. Two weeks, baby, two weeks. I can't wait.

Headaches and weight loss
So I weighed myself last night out of pure curiosity and found out that since I started at Starbucks, I have lost ten pounds. I kid you not. I guess there is a bonus to stress after all. Not the best way to go about it, but whatever works, right? I'm actually quite proud of myself for loosing the weight. It's not that I've ever been big or even struggled with my weight, but before starting at Starbucks, I was feeling very out of shape. This is no longer the case, believe you me. One thing that I did not expect about this job is how physical it is on a daily basis.
That was my rave, now here's my rant. Lately I have been getting some random headaches. It's not just at work, either. They will just come on, annoy me for a few minutes, and then go away. Since it has been crazy hot lately and I admittedly I haven't been consuming enough water, it's probably just dehydration. Why I'm bringing it up, I don't know, other than it's a bit of a nuisance at times. They aren't even bad headaches, just odd timing ones.
Something else (and it might also attribute to the headaches) I have been doing lately that I don't like doing is clenching my teeth. I will catch myself doing it and then relax my jaw, only to catch myself doing it a short time later. This I know is stress related and it is definitely something that I don't want to make into a habit. So if any of you out there know how fix this, I'm all ears.
Other than that, I'm in tip, top, shape. I have been doing a lot of yard work these past few days and I have noticed how much more in shape I am. It feels good to be so active and I have been lucky enough to have been so lately. I noticed, just now, that I am developing a sunburn on my shoulders from all the mowing and such. Not complaining, just noticing. My previous sunburn has developed into a nice tan (which is rare for me to have).
Not much else is new with me. I am in the middle of a long stretch of work (eleven days straight) and I will be glad when that is over with. I will be transferring to another location soon and I am looking forward to it. This new location (literally!) is further north than the one I am at now and quite a bit more distance. Regardless of that, I have high hopes for this new adventure that I am about to embark on.
Anyway, I need to get to bed. I have an early day tomorrow-actually today; and I need to get my rest. I will post again soon.
