Reina Estrella's Journal, 09 January 2009

Good morning everyone!

Well, afternoon now, I suppose.

I am in such a great mood today. I really think that it has to do with my new way of eating. I'm no longer dieting, I'm just learning how to eat right.

I'm learning everything that I can about nutrition and am sticking to my plan.

I do have to say that this way is much easier and I don't feel frustrated or deprived and I have SO MUCH ENERGY!

It's wonderful.

I'm so glad I'll still have all of my buddies...

I haven't been here in a while so I'll let you know what's been going on with me.

Remember that I had to move? Well, I have a HOUSE!!!! Not an apartment, but a real HOUSE!!! I'm ecstatic. And the house is twice as big as my apartment (the kids now get their own rooms!) It is in the city of Richmond, which will be closer to school for me, since classes start Monday, that's very, very important. (more time for me and less gas money!!!!)

It has a very large fenced front and back yard for the dogs and I can get a swing set for the kids! And I'm going to put an above ground pool in the yard for the summer when we have cook outs!!! Hey, it's great for those hot days and for some extra exercise!!!

The house also has large front and back porches!!! And there's a church in the back yard so we're going to be checking that out. I move in on Thursday!!!!! Only 7 days left!

I've been rushing around here packing up everything and just thanking God.

I'm getting yet another chance at a brand new life.

I'm starting a new temp job on Monday. I'm not doing it so much for the money, but for the office experience to build my resume for when I graduate. I'm going to be working in a coporate office for a big company on MWF from 9am-12pm. Not many hours, but it'll help me get a better job.

I'm quitting my adult entertainment job as soon as I can find a "normal" job...but everyone knows what this job market is like these days. I still have to pay my bills...I'm very unhappy in my job but I'm doin' what I gotta do for now.

I'm also volunteering at two organizations about 5 hours a week. I'm a social work student and didn't know what field I want to specialize in, so I decided to volunteer in different areas and see what touches my heart. I'm volunteering with a hospice and an organization that provides assistance and friends for the elderly. I just finished my training at both...and I'm very, very excited.

I feel like I'm finally doing something positive with my life. I really have changed, haven't I?

God is truly good.

Well, sorry so long, but I wanted to let you guys know that I am fine and I've just been busy with so many different things going on!

I love all of my buddies and have missed you!!!!!

I am so very happy for you and all that has come your way. It is so exciting what you have been blessed with! I just moved too, and we have a large back yard with absolutly no idea what to do with the back yard. You gave me some very simple, realistic, yet fun ideas for kids: swing set, and the above ground pool. Also, I am not one of a gardner: but I have been spending so much money on veggies that I am planning on making a garden! I can't wait to get started on that. Good luck on your packing your move, and your new eating. I also will be praying that a job that you like that will still help you pay your bills will land in your lap.
