Officially an LCSW! (And kicking off my 2nd 101 list with a bang)

Not even a month into my new 101 list and I've already crossed off 4 things from the list! First off... I'm now an LCSW! At least, in Utah. And I sent in my application for my Idaho license this week, so hopefully that goes through soon, too.

However, it does feel slightly anti-climatic. I may be an LCSW now, but I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time at work. I guess that's the nature of working with people and their issues... And that can be draining. Trying to avoid compassion fatigue. But it's nice to have those letters after my name now. It's so official. And it's nice to know I have that to fall back on, if I ever need to.

I also managed to hang up all the pictures in my house (thank you, Command Picture Hanging Strips, for helping me to avoid putting a bunch of nail holes in my wall). I bought a Blu-ray player. And I went to the Idaho Historical Museum with Karen when she visited me this week. The Museum is going through extensive renovations for the next couple of years, so they have a temporary location that we visited. We had the place to ourselves and we got to learn some interesting things about Idaho. And we got to dress up as toppings on a baked potato. Because... why not?


So... 4 goals down, 97 more to go. :-)

101 List- Try 2

Another new year. And instead of doing New Year's Resolutions, I am starting a new 101 list. You can view it here. Hopefully I can get more than 63 this time. Feel free to look through and tell me what you want to participate in. I definitely want friends to join me in these adventures. It's more fun that way. Happy New Year, all!
