I'm Back!!
It has been too long girls and boys, but I am back. It's only been about 3 weeks, but it feels like an eternity. I did not realize I would miss my laptop so much that I wouldn't want to do anything without it. I am still sick, and not really getting better, but I'm not on any medication other than birth control right now and I am going Tuesday morning to demand they take some blood to check my TSH levels and get me on the right Rx so I can start getting better.
Last time I logged in, I was suffering from serious sleeping issues. They are still present, but I have found that taking a Benadryl before bed helps me get to sleep...sometimes. Ear plugs have been helping as well.
A lot has happened these past few weeks. We had a really good Christmas, but forgot to get pictures in front of the tree. It's okay, though. Hubby says he can photoshop, lol. I have lost a total of 11 lbs since Thanksgiving and am very happy. I was able to hit my goal of being under 300 lbs for my birthday, Christmas, and weighing even less on New Year's Day.
Unfortunately, I did not spend New Year's Day as active as I wanted. I woke up very sick and actually spent most of the day sleeping. My wonderful husband even called out to work (he was going in for Overtime) so he could take care of me.
My niece, who turned 16 the day after Christmas, spent New Year's in New York, and we are nervous that they are stuck there with all of the storms. We have not heard anything from them, which isn't odd, as we are kind of estranged, but none of them have posted anything on Facebook about making it back yet, either. We are praying for their safety.
Yesterday was a good and bad day for me. Got up extremely early, only 3 hours of sleep, to get my mommy's blood work and EKG completed, then spent most of the day shopping. Took a couple hours' nap with the wonderful hubby, and it was back to the store for us.
Walmart made me so angry last night that I barely got any of my shopping done, so my husband treated us with take out from Chili's...steak, yummy! We vowed no fast food for the new year and have so far kept up with that because we ate really healthy from Chili's and it is made to order with fresh ingredients, not McDonald's or any such burger joint crap that we have been turning to.
So, tonight, we finished our grocery shopping at the lovely Publix in our neighborhood...yes, it is definitely more expensive, but it was soo worth it. I got wonderfully fresh and delicious produce, which made me very happy.
I have felt better today than I have in the last several weeks, so I am hoping that is a good sign.
Our dryer belt broke tonight, with the laundry inside that I needed. Lowe's and Home Depot are closed and Walmart doesn't carry dryer belts. However, my truly amazing husband is willing to get up even earlier than he already has to in the morning to go down the street and wait for Lowe's to open. I am so blessed to have as my husband, because I do not know of another man who would make the sacrifices that my husband makes everyday. He works 8 AM to 11 PM tomorrow, but is willing to get up at 5:30 to make it to Lowe's before having to leave for work at 7 AM. I adore him and am so thankful to call him mine.
Well, I am off to play Farmville 2 now. I hope everyone is doing well. Make 2014 your year to succeed! I know I am!
