Things are finally looking up a little bit so far this year. Jason and I became a little more financially stable recently and are looking forward to paying off some of our debts so that we aren't living paycheck to paycheck anymore. Simba and Isabelle are considerably stable with their health issues for now. My autonomic attacks have reduced significantly in frequency and severity, though they do still happen. I should be able to work with the sleep doctor a little better once I get my sleep study results back to get relief from unrested sleep which will hopefully in turn reduce my chronic fatigue and my anxiety even more. We booked our trip to Tennessee for the end of October a couple weeks ago. My mom is coming out the second week in August to visit and spend some time with us. I'm in the process of taking leadership and development classes at my job as well as I've had both my phone and in-person interview for Suture Specialist. I've been filling in unofficially as a specialist for the last three months. I should hear in a few weeks on whether I got the job or not.
The first Friday in February, I'm starting the process of getting my Alice in Wonderland half sleeve done - finally! It's going to take about twenty hours of work to complete. This will be my first time sitting eight hours for a tattoo - a little excited and nervous at the same time. I've already filed my taxes. So yeah, I'd say that things are going pretty decent. Jay's dads birthday is this coming Friday, so we are going over his house Saturday to take him out to eat and have cake with him. I started back going to therapy this week. I have plans to go every other week. My next plan is to develop a self-care plan to work on my overall health. I haven't been keeping up with my water intake that well lately, so I'm definitely going to be improving that. I'm thinking about switching my morning breakfast to drinking a Premier Protein shake and watching my carb consumption a little better. In the next few weeks, I'm going to start incorporating some low-impact exercising throughout the week after work. I would also like to come up with a dedicated skincare routine.
I'm hoping I can keep up with my blog better, especially to track my progress. I've been battling keeping up with this thing for years and I'm not sure why. I love journaling and find it to provide a sense of stress relief. Plus, my therapist highly recommends regular journaling as a tool to reduce anxiety, depression and stress. Well, that's all I have for todays post. I'm going to put my Salisbury meatballs in the fridge, relax for the night and maybe peruse Kindle to see what kind of books I can get into reading. Not to mention, we have been talking about where we want to go for my first trip of a lifetime benefit at work - definitely out of the country! I get a trip of a lifetime every five years that I work for my company and each five years, they give you more money towards it. We are thinking about going to Europe, possibly Rome!
Alright. Ta-ta for now!
