When we got home yesterday the car said it was 108 degrees. That is ridiculous. I can't stand this kind of heat. Especially since the AC in my car doesn't work. Today on the way home from work it was 105. No amount of wind can make that feel comfortable. At least we have AC in the house...
Yesterday we stopped at one of the bigger malls on the way home from the theme park. I bought things I didn't really need. Clothes and shoes and jewelry. You see, I'm a compulsive shopper. It's in my blood. I'm not excusing my behavior, just explaining. I'm very much like my aunt. She had OCD and was a hoarder. I loved her, but I don't want to be like her. I've been diagnosed with OCD, and I see in myself hoarding tendencies (at last count I had over 30 kinds of lotion...). So far I haven't spent outside my means, but it's been getting closer. My last couple credit card bills have been hard to pay off. So when we got home yesterday I gave all of my "plastic" to my man. Including my debit card. I now cannot buy anything without asking him first. I hope that this will help get my compulsions in check.
Today I contacted the state Department of Licensing to find out the status on my PE application. To my surprise I only needed one more experience verification to complete it! They didn't even make me pay the fee again! So this morning was spent finishing my verification paperwork and this afternoon I got it signed, sealed and stamped. The DoL should receive it by the end of the week, and if I'm lucky will approve it by the end of the month! I could have my licence by the end of the month!!! *happy dance* When I get my license I will feel like I deserve a new computer and will likely take my mom up on her very generous offer. Well, I'll probably wait to make sure we can make my man's fall tuition payment first. He starts at the State university in the fall. I'm so proud of him!
Speaking of school, I requested information from several universities offering Masters programs online. Depending on how much it costs and if I can get reimbursement or not I'll start working on my Masters within the next couple of years. My other goal is to get my Structural Engineer license. That'll take another 4 years of experience and 16 hours of testing. Apparently I'm a masochist. Go figure!
Did I mention that my appointment with my personal trainer was cancelled today? Good thing too 'cause I don't think I would have survived going out in this weather again!
