I'm doing 14 things
A 4.0 this semester, wahoo! Haven’t pulled that off since my first semester at college. I always seem to get that one A- that throws a wrench in things. This semester was the WORST semester EVER and to pull it off with perfect A’s feels really REALLY great. That brings my cumulative GPA to 3.87, up from 3.85. I’m feeling good! :)

I get to see my 7 year old daughter next week. She has invited me to her school Halloween program. This will be the third time I have seen her since I placed her for adoption, once when she was 6 months old and then this past February. I love this little (not so little now) girl with all my heart. OH how I love and cherish her. I am so excited to be seeing her again and to know that she wants me there. I know that I am important to her, which is amazing. Amazing that her parents have allowed me to be a topic and to exist and to be loved. I’m a grateful girl.
But right now I am feeling very vulnerable. I’m terrified of disappointing her. What if the me in theory is better than the me in reality? What if I can’t live up to my hype? I so don’t want to disappoint her, to let her down. And right now I’m feeling like I can.

At Saturday’s 5k, I actually beat my best time by 3 minutes! Yay! I am still not fast by any stretch of the imagination. But I am proving to myself that I can do it and that I can improve. My time was 27 minutes and I was WAY happy with that. I think once I can do it in about 23-24 minutes I will start getting more ready to move to 10k’s. That’s my plan anyway.
Next 5k I’m registered for isn’t til November something. Maybe I can find another one to do between now and then.
