I am rejoining the ranks of contributing members of society tomorrow...

I start my new job tomorrow. I will be working for the Utah State Bar Continuing Legal Education department. I am so excited! I would have been happy with any job, but I'm ecstatic that I got this job.

I interviewed for it in December and got a second interview, but they ended up hiring someone else. I really wanted this job so I was pretty disappointed when I didn't get it. The job started on January 5, and on January 9 I got a call from the woman that I interviewed with saying that the girl they hired wasn't working out and she was going to have to let her go. Then she told me that she should have hired me in the first place, which was nice to hear.

So, working for the state means I have great benefits, which I'm more excited about than anything else. It means I can start using my pump again, and not go completely bankrupt from buying insulin and other supplies.

On a side note, I went to the endocrinologist last week and my A1c is down to 8.3% which is better than it's been in 2 years! I know it's not great, but it's a hell of a lot better than it's been and it's motivation to get it even lower by April.

Life is really hard, but I have never been happier!
