ASS-essments

I'm sorry but I really just couldn't help myself with the title. It is the honest truth though, assessments are a pain in the ass. Obviously, they are necessary when it comes to being placed with a counselor, doctor, treatment program, job and so on and so on but after you do about ohhh 88 of them you start getting tired of them. My favorite line of the person giving the assessment is, "Thank you for sharing all of that with me. I know it isn't easy telling someone you have never met such personal things." My response is then, "Yeah well after about the 32nd time of answering the same questions to people I've never met you don't really freak out about it anymore." I didn't really say that but it's what I was thinking :)

If you haven't already ready between the lines I had my assessment today for the clinic in Colorado. Feel free to check it out: Eating Recovery Center ! So yes, the assessment was completed in an hour, maybe a little longer. I managed to pace back and forth our empty living room during the duration of my conversation with sweet little Joanna.

Next steps include the following:

- Release forms signed by current doctors so the clinic can chat with them.

- Blood work

- Buy first day of treatment outfit...Taryn Schuelke will be my retail therapy companion.

- Wait for an open bed

Not too shabby, yeah? I am doing my very best to only look at the positives in this adventure that lays before me. After a second guessing attack yesterday, a pint of ice cream and Allicia Garza things are looking more positive today. I pray it lasts longer than a day ;)

Due to the title of this post I can't help but post this video for you to watch or maybe just listen to, I'll let you decide. Jennifer Lopez has a big "rear end" and she can dance, period. No adjective can describe her dancing. One day I will be able to move my hips like hers...one day.
