Where did May go?

Whew! The month of May just seemed to rush by. I cannot believe it is already going to be June. So much has happened this month.

I of course got the hairs cut. I am now learning the concept of having a bad hair day. This also means I have to actually spend time on my hair and comb it. It had been a year since my last cut. I knew I had bad split ends but the gal that cut my hair was supposed to take care of that. I told her to cut off as much as she needed at the bottom. She kept it pretty long though and I am finding so many split ends that I am afraid to color my hair. Hair does not look pretty when the ends are white. I am wondering if I should call her and ask her to trim the ends. It has been a couple of weeks since I got the cut so I wonder how much she will charge me. Have any of you done that? Gone back to the hairstylist to get the original cut ‘fixed’? This is a first for me. Makes me miss my Uncle even more. He would know exactly what to do. But of course he would not be afraid to chop off all the bad ends to begin with.

This month I have also had my first job review. I have made it to my 90-day mark so now I am eligible for health insurance. Well on the 1st I will be. I.CANNOT.WAIT! My body is starting to fall apart and I SO need to go to the doctor. Well first I need to find one. Ever since my last doctor (if he could even call himself that), I have been quite leery about going. I am overwhelmed at finding a new doctor. I just don’t want to make the wrong choice.

Last week I had the opportunity to go on my first business trip. I had to go up to the State Department to get some additional training on the main part of my job. It was nice being out of town for the week. The drive up was a bit hectic. What should have taken about 1 ½ hours took nearly three! There was construction and cops all the way up and once I hit the capitol it all came to a standstill. Then came the fun of driving downtown looking for the building and parking garage I was supposed to use. It all worked out and even though I was late I ended up not missing a single part of the presentation except for the introductions. I got to stay at a nice hotel, in a super huge suite, where I was pretty much the only girl there. I have also learned that traveling business men can be kind of loud.

I was excited to come back to work this week and get started on this backlog of cases but the system has been down the entire week. So I have been a bit bummed about that. I hope I get to use what I learned before I forget it.
