Updates and Loose Ends…

HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO All my lovely buddies! 

How in the hell are you all anyways???

By the way, were in the heck IS everyone??? There are a TON of MIA buddies…

Yeah, I know. I was for a while too. But thats OLD news!

So…Just a quick update in case anyone cares…And if you dont care, then what the hell you doing reading my blog anyway, nosey nellies??? 

MY JOB: As you all know I started a new job in June. It is going tremondously well. I LOVE it and they LOVE ME…(I mean, really, who DOESNT love me???) I am rather irrisistable!  LOL!!!

Okay, I kid…A little!

But the job is going great and I got word today that we are expanding in January and I will be first on the list for a move up the corporate ladder…WOO HOO…Go me!

One of my best friends was hired on there today as well…I got her a temp job there and my boss liked her too, so they hired her today…I am very very proud of her and excited to have a friend now at work…DEEEEELIGHTFUL!!!

MY LIFE: Is going much better these days…My drugs I am on are just lovely, and I do think in just two weeks they have made a difference. The hubby says I am MUCH more tolerable these days and much more like my old self…Apparently, my head no longer spins around and I do not projectile vomit any more (Okay, in case you missed it, thats a reference to the Exorcist…)

So, anyway…I find myself laughing much these days…Which is good…Being silly and goofy again…Feeling very good…Very good…

THE MARRIAGE: Hubby and I are still going to counseling. We have four sessions left…Its going well…I have to laugh tho, as last week our Dr. raised her hands at the end of our session in a somewhat joking manner and said “I gotta tell  you…You guys are the strangest couple I have counseled in a long time. Most people come in here hating each other…You two are just too darn agreeable with each other!”

At first I felt bad taht we didnt hate each other…So I offered to punch my hubby for her if that would make her feel better…Hubby wasnt amused…But really, communication has never been our problem. I mean, come on…This is me we are talking about…I force people to talk, I do! I would talk to anyone anyday about anything…Yep. Talking is NOT our problem…

Anyway, we are still trucking along and I think the medication WILL help my marriage some too…So this is an ongoing thing…We arent fixed yet, but we havent given up yet either…

MY WEIGHT: Dropped another pound this week. I gotta admit, Its been a rough week. I think I have a worm. I have been hungry ALL week long…WAY HUNGRY…Last week I didnt eat at all due to nausea. This week I ate my way through each day…This is not good…So I am slowing down tonight. Working out…Trying to get myself in gear.

I must say I am not really too concerned…Now that the rest of my life is in a much better perspective, I find myself looking at my weight loss much much more different. I updated my before and current pics tonight and you know what? I have come a long long way…

Yep. Sure. 30 more pounds would be great. And I will get there eventually…I will. I know this in my heart…

But I am sure gonna have fun on my ride there…

Thats one thing this crazy year has taught me…Life is a crazy wild mess and your destination is unknown, so you best enjoy the ride, because that just might be the funnest part!

Take care all!

Love ya mean it!

Dawn

    Dawnie = Real. Thank you. Just thank you for being you and sharing. I am so glad that you are feeling well. For so long I never knew you were sad and yes you are right about the similarities.

    I am so glad to hear from you I know I miss all my old buddies and so many have changed names/pictures I wouldn’t know if they were my buddy once at all. I am glad things are working well in your marriage. No one ever said it would be a bed of roses and it is hard work. It is funny you mentioned communication I talk talk talk but my husband is a quiet man so heaven try to argue with him. Believe me I try but he doens’t repond..hehe I wish you and your hubby the best. Thrilled you love your job.

    :wink: Atta Girl!!!!

    Honey, my life would be a living hell w/o my medicine these last 2 years!!

    I’m feeling much the same as you are!! Except I haven’t lost a lot of weight and I don’t have an awesome corporate job and am not quite as witty BUT, I do have ankles now and I also went brunette and am feeling very happy lately!!

    Those damn dips (pun intended) are what we measure our current happiness to aren’t they? I’ll ask Yoda.

    Happy Pills? Maybe I need some of them! Think they’d make me forget about the pain? Oh, I forgot. They gave me happy pills for the pain a few years ago. They made me forget the pain, but they also made me forget my mind!!!!!
