So....it has been a month--an absolutely crazy month. I have been trying to write this post in my head for the better part of a couple weeks. I have been really glad that I didn't decide to restart my 365 project...or everything didn't happen like this during that, because I really might have just failed right away. So let me do my best to try to update you.
Physical Health: My health has not improved--my most recent meds haven't seemed to have helped. But I suppose on the upside, I decided this week that it is time to go see somebody else, and try another route. I am hoping that this works--but I feel like I have been saying that a lot. I am trying to have faith that I will get better. LDS people believe that the priesthood is God's power on this Earth. I had the opportunity to get a blessing about a month ago, and God promised me that I would be better in 2014. This is a big relief to know that the end is near....but it is also one of those moments where I bet that it will be like the end of the year so I can keep learning this patience thing.
Joys of Home Ownership: The furnace broke in January, water heater broke in December...trying to fix up the basement and finish the unpacking....sometimes I wonder why we moved, but other times it is nice to know that this whole place is ours.....well and the bank's.
Work: This has been the real reason for my absence...a lot of the stress in my life has stemmed from this...due to some re-structuring at the company my scheduled hours have changed a lot. I work a few evenings now, and still some mornings like I did before. It has been a hard adjustment and a lot of days I feel like all I do is go to work and sleep....like yesterday I only had 4 waking hours at home.
That is also the biggest reason why I haven't written....this and other changes in my life has really taken a toll on me mentally and emotionally. My regular readers know that I don't like to complain on this blog...I don't want to be a whiner on here.
My hopes for my blog going here on out:
- I want to do some catch-up on reviews
- Share more about my reading books--I really want to do better with this
- Establish some challenges to participate in
- Do some more networking
- Do more about knitting and teaching....knitting has been a nice thing to get me through all of this!
I hope to write again soon! Thanks for hanging out with me as I got this month back together.
As a picture today my motto for this week:
