Working on ME!ME!ME!

I am tired of the run around with dating so I am dedicating this time until my birthday to me.  I have signed up with a personal trainer to get my body looking more the way I like it.  I have also cut out a few people that were not the healthiest part of my life.  I am also trying to set up some trips so I can travel.  I think I might be getting an offer of a permanent position with the government and I am wondering if they will let me put a month between when my contract ends and when I actually start my job.  I doubt it, but I can dream it might happen so I can spend that month traveling.
