Fell off the Planet
Feb 3rd
Thats only slightly expanded from the truth.
Jan seems to have been the month of constant going.
There was a rush of newly purchased furniture, which required me to move back into the office… And its definately not as lonely (or moldy) as it was when we first moved in.
The kiddo now has a guinea pig, her name is Sophie, and she is the quietest freakin piggie I’ve ever been around.
I fell on the ice, twice in one day, a few weeks back, and pretty much messed up my back and knee, so that threw me out of my Wii Fit routine, which I plan on getting back into. So I do feel a smidge bad about that, since it was definately helping me out in more ways than one.
Nearing completion on the first painting in a set of comissions, which is freakin awesome.
My eyesight is… well… I am adjusting more, and with new glasses (Dolce and Gabbana frames at that) I’m not as prone to headaches and frustration as I was, which is a good sign obviously.
Right now I kinda want a nap…
Recap!
Jan 7th
Okay, so, it seems I get to have an eye exam every few months for the forseeable future, but my prognosis looks fairly good. I dont have a definate answer yet on which disorder I have, but things still point strongly to Coat’s.
He also looked at the mass under my right eye, and say it seems to be a lipid deposit, but surgery is probably more trouble than its worth, considering masses like this can be HUGE and deep. So its just a wait and see on that front also.
So, a day of stress and eye dialates, and having things poked in my eyeballs, all to be told to wait and see. I know what to look for, just in case my eyes worsen, but the chances of that are luckily kinda low.
On the Being Healthy front, I have probably dropped a pants size, I dont know for sure because my pants were already a bit loose. But the coat Mum got me for Xmas, that barely fit, I couldnt zip it over my bum 2 weeks ago, now zips up, and has some room.
That pleases me a lot, since it means that the work I am doing IS paying off.
Thingies I Do
Jan 4th
I started baking bread, using a simple recipe. The results have been very pleasing so far.
The Banana Bread was yummy, if still a smidge doughy. The Blueberry Bread I made yesterday is AMAZING, the kiddo is going nuts over it.
After 14 Days of Wii Fit (really 3 weeks counting the holidays and us being out of town) I have lost about 7 pounds. I rather like that, there are results coming out of it, and I finally nailed down my routine. Hopefully it will help me in the long run.
I also have been WAY watching what I eat, if I feel like snacking, I drink more water, and I switched to diet soda for my ONE glass of caffeine a day. I already feel less hungry all the time.
CttC and OHC have both returned officially with new strips. And I am working towards finishing the strips early. Friday’s strip is half drawn, and I really like it so far. Wensday is going to have a new Epic CttC Character on OHC, and its my fave so far.
Wensday I have my appointment with the specialist about Odin, yes, I am pretty nervous about this. He could decide that I need to have eye surgery, which will probably put me out of comission for a few weeks… And I worry about going nuts from boredom.
I’ll try to keep everyone updated on what the doc says, and everything else. Its just… wow sometimes I am glad for zoloft and sleeping pills.
Its a Circus!
Dec 25th
No, really. It was a circus!
The holidays at Jelly Bean’s Mother’s place was fun, exhausting, and a bit crazy.
After 3 hours in a truck with limited leg-room, we were bombarded with children, who REALLY wanted to open presents.
Let the chaos commence!
Waiting for Presents
Chaos!
Seriously, these kids tore into things so fast that photos were missed, but I doubt they cared.
Popcorn, the only thing Mr. E cared about.
Buried in Toys
Course there was one gift that Jmonster was most excited about, that he had asked and hoped for, pestering us for weeks over it.
A Giant Red Car!
Once all of the gifts were opened, the kiddos wanted to PLAY, and who better to ask to open boxes, than Uncle Wayne, the master of awesome toys!
He also helps with transformers!
Course, poor Jelly Bean was just tired out, after opening gifts, helping the kiddos play with said gifts, eating, and putting everyone to bed. He just wanted to snuggle!
Though he snuggled Harley the Dog.
~The rest of our trip will be talked about later, I am TIRED!~
Overall Well-Being.
Dec 17th
So I learned something from my doctor when we saw her earlier this week.
My overall lifestyle is shitty.
Like REALLY shitty.
So, in the hopes of fixing some of my problems, I am working towards small goals to overall my life better.
I hope.
First on that list,
My caffeine intake. Holy crap we drink a lot of caffeine. So that is cut down to ONE average sized glass of dr pepper a DAY around lunch time.
4 small meals a day, and NO SNACKING. Which is going to be really hard for me because I LOVE to snack.
Being more active. To help with that Jelly Bean got us a Wii Fit, well, it was money my mom sent us for a holiday gift. I have so far spent nearly 2 hours using it. My bare minimum for use is 30mins a day, but it would be better to get an hour in. And since all of us are doing it, I feel the competive urge to beat Jelly Bean’s high scores, which is actually fairly hard for me to do.
So hopefully everything I am doing will help me out.
The big change I am hoping to see is just my overall view of life. I dont expect to shed a shitton of weight, and I will probably always have depression and insomnia issues, but maybe these changes will make it less suck-ful.
