Quick Temp Check of the Mentals

Quick tempertature check of where the mentals are. I leave with mom and Joe in 5 days for Scotland. I am less nervous about my stomach on the flight and on the trip than I am for making sure that the hotels, rental car, and ferry tickets are all squared away. We fly out late Friday night for London then have a three hour layover then land in Glasgow around 8:30 PM local time. Should be a fun trip. I think everything will be ok. 

Self esteem isn't doing to well. I think my hair is thinning on the crown and my hairline is creeping up. Once I am back from Scotland I am going to reach out to a doctor to see my options on meds. Going bald at 26 isn't the thing I want to do. If there are meds that have a low risk of side effects I am going to give them a try and reasses in 6 months. 

Friendships are still going ok. J and I are still very close. M is prioritizing spending time with coworkers vs me and other college friends. Thats ok. That just means that I need to start trying to expand my social circle. 

Career wise I am doing well. I applied literally last minute for an open paralegal position at work. I was offered an interview and was very nervous for it. Turns out they liked me enough in the interview that I have now been offered the job. Hopefully I transition into the new role well and am able to continue to broaden my skillset and network. A guy I met at the Mariner's happy hour was an old paralegal and now works at a tech company making a decent amount of coin. So maybe in a few years from now that's what I'll be doing. Who knows.
