Getting Good

Wow, why is it that the days seem to go by so fast when you it's a great weekend to be off and getting things accomplished? I have so much to do but yet time has flown by me today like I was standing still, and we all know I don't stop very often.
Busy week back to work but all and all I feel really good. Ready to start the gym and start Zumba, wanna get my dance on.
got my tan going already.
Stitches are pretty well healed and all on the outside now just waiting for the inside to not be so sore.
I am happy to report that I am still off most of my meds and feeling extremely well. I had planned to wean a little at a time but being sick prompted me to go off both almost cold turkey.
Now I am still taking the meds for the "Lupus" but not all the pain meds, ie Cymbalta & Lyrica also have not been taking the meds for fatigue. I have been surprised at the amount of energy and drive I am feeling lately and I think the more excited I get the more energy I have.
I have to say that today has been pretty fantastic just in general, I feel great about how I am feeling and how things are going to be in the upcoming weeks. I am so ready to get things back on track- I want my old self back. And with the help of being sick, its helping me get Unsick? Maybe feels great to shed a few more pounds too. Now to keep it off..
When you look around at yourself now, what changes do you think about? What would you change if you could?

The New year

Well so far my new year and all of its aspirations have not taken off so well. As you can tell I have been gone for sometime here.
First my daughter got pretty sick then we went out of town to Revolve Tour - Like Women of Faith for Teen Girls  it was awesome. TO be surrounded by that much love and Chirstitan Faith, to be moved by the songs and the skits. Purley magical i thought, plus Britt Nichole is always so much fun in concert, so is Hawk Nelson.
Then to top it off we got to see hubby that night and the next day. We had a great mini family vaca, not all the kids but it was nice one one one for my son and husband and for me & Maria.
So back home back to work I go, I come home w/ a major headache and I go to bed, for a week w/ the flu. So hubby comes to take care of me. I then drive him back to Texarkana (8 hrs) we have a wonderful trip there and a quiet dinner. Nice us time. The next day I am in excruciating pain go to the ER to find out I have gallstones, and my gallbladder is enraged and need to come out.. So here I am now stuck up here 8 hours away w/ my car and hubby cant leave school to take me home to my own dr. so I get mom to come get me and bring me home and in 2 days I was in same day surgery. Here we are now a week after that and I am recovering pretty well. Just sore like I have been kicked in the chest. But all and all I am doing better. I am looking at this as a positive step to better health.
Maybe some of my symptom are from this bad organ that was living in my body. Maybe my Fibro wont be so bad now, maybe the fatigue and exhaustion will be less.  I am sure that this had allot to do with my down sliding the past few months.
Tomorrow I am thinking of heading to the gym for a bit a walking on treadmill, then maybe some slight stretching and  mild yoga. My diet had been restricted quite a bit this past week so I am trying really hard not to go back to soda and junk food. Easier said then done when home all day I know but hopefully I have the strength to stick with it.
Well that's whats been going on, so I really need to get to work and make some money! I am ready to take on this new subdivision and sell!
Got a few parties booked for my Thirty-one gifts too so that should help off set a few things and take another headache off my plate.
Take care and God Bless Hugs & Luvs ,

Fun Friday

Ok so not really Fun as one would hope, but I am happy with uneventful.

   Started of in pain still in hip and the cold weather always make me super stiff and puffy. In case you didn't know Rhuemi appt yesterday same old stuff, bursitis in my hip, edge of a flare up and a little PMS, but other then that my life is peachy.
ALso I am starting my weening process off of the Cymbalta and I will be getting off my Ortho evera as well.  I will be trying to document that as I hear it is a harsh withdraw. I am scared to death so please pray it goes smooth & that I will be fine. Also started back on the Advocare: MNS, Catalyst and still taking Spark.

 Have to say I did go to bed early last night and slept pretty hard until 4 ish then tossed and turned the next 2 hours. I really hate mornings. Just too tired and painful to get out of bed.
PTO meeting went great and I was on time, spent a little time chatting at with  a great friend.
We discussed relationships and how things change, almost like some people in our lives are seasonal. They come and go like the wind. Do you have people like that in your life? How does that make you feel? And as a child of God is that how we are supposed to be like?
After that I ran some errands, we got a few tickets on post for free today, one fro a football game and then to see a comedian. It was great to have lunch with my mom and her friend then to run into my dad by sheer coincidence.
Did some birthday shopping and then head here to work. Which is where I will finish up my blog for today and read some various scripture on Discipline, honesty, respect, and love.
Probably just sit here and do my reading but really need some buyer to come in and buy this home.
 Yes, I know alot of reading here is what I have for January and February:

Karen Kingsbury Like Dandelion Dust (been trying )
Terri Blackstock Cape Refuge Book 3 of 4  (audio)
Proverbs- Daily read and discussion w/ friend
Psalms we are reading a chapter each week in Sunday School Class
Romans -Small Group read and discuss weekly
