Change in all aspects

I went for a tattoo consultation and I am confident in the artist who will be doing my portrait. I am also extra excited because the artist is a female. I am definitely in support of a woman in a male dominated industry. I am going back to get the tattoo on Oct.12!!!! I am going to be changing my physical appearance forever so this is a huge step for me. I am glad that my appointment is a month away, it gives me time to accept the change that is going to happen.

I have been going through so many changes lately. I am still feeling alone. I go out with my friends and I try to meet new people but I find it hard to meet people that I have a lot in common with. When I try to find common ground with people through movies, music, politics, etc I always feel like I am living in a bubble, in isolation. No one shares common interests.
My friends don't live in the same town as me and everyone has busy schedules, so I find myself spending a whole lot of time on this laptop. That means that I have been able to do a lot of reflecting but it also makes me realize how alone I am.

I am having trouble dealing with all of this change, however the biggest problems are at work. I am having problems seperating work and home. I am there so much that I pretty much live and eat work. How do you keep work at work? I am always thinking about what i need to do next time I go in. If I have a bad day with the individuals I always dwell on it and then dread going into work the next day because i think that the bad behavior will continue. I always try to say that tomorrow is a new day but I don't think I really believe that, since before i go to bed I dread going into work because I am anxious about the fighting between the individuals. So I called EAP and I am going in to a see a counsellor. I don't want to dread going into work so I hope that they can help me work through this so that I can enjoy my job even through the bad days. We'll see what happens.

My mum and I signed up for badminton in our local community centre. I bought a racket and some birdies today. It starts on the Thursday, who knows maybe I'll meet some new friends.
