I just realized that I haven't posted in awhile. So sorry!
I don't have much to update really.
I've told you all about the dentist trips. I don't go back until September. For the other half of my deep root cleaning. I'm actually looking forward to it, as messed up as that sounds. My teeth are still stain free!!!
I'm at a reading impasse. I'm at 36 books. The book I'm reading now is part of a series and I really liked the first book but I'm not digging the second one as much. So, I think that's why I'm not reading like a crazy person. I'm determined to make it through this book because I love this author and I really like how she writes.
I've applied for a few part time jobs and nothing has panned out. That's a little discouraging. But, I'm trying not to get discouraged. I'm sure more will come up around the holidays. (I just hate retail so much.)
I'm still listening to my Prepper PodCast. I started one today about surviving a Nuclear disaster. It talks about Chernobyl. (Which I still recommend on HBO! It's so good!) Prepping brings me a lot of peace. I can't explain it. I know I'm kind of a nerd about it but I do feel good when I do it. I've found myself adding a few things to my groceries when I get them. (Walmart pick up for the win!) Things like canned goods, water, etc. And I got a new "get home" bag last week that is sturdy and in my car! And it's my favorite color (orange) which makes me double happy.
Things are very stressful at work. I haven't discussed it with anyone (and I likely won't) but it's starting to show in my body. This weekend I had a horrible headache and I'm having spasms in the back part of my head.
I did end up going to the Little Clinic yesterday and I have the start of an ear infection (what the hell?) and the nurse said my headache could be from that or it's the tension I'm carrying in my shoulders/neck area. It woke me up early Monday morning and I felt like absolute dirt most of yesterday. I slept better last night (I went to bed super early) and my head doesn't hurt as bad today. Stress is a killer.
Lynn will be visiting in a few weeks so I need to get my spare room cleaned up. I'm a bit stressed about that. I have a bunch of crafting stuff that it just taking up space. I need to get rid of half the crap that's in there. I have this weekend to get it done.
I've fallen off my diet wagon. I've gained back 3 pounds. But, oh well! I'm not going to stress about it. I'll just go back to eating better.
I'm trying super hard not to be down in the dumps. I'm very stressed and the reaction my body has had (while it shouldn't be surprising) it kind of freaking me out. I'm usually better at managing stress.
I guess I had more to update then I thought. You guys still out there? :)
yo! Haven't commented on the last few but I'm still out here. :)
ReplyDeleteFor the diet thing, I've been doing Noom and I've lost 35 lbs in a little over 6 months. It really works but it's expensive.. $44/mo. I can give you the rundown if you'd like.
Stress is a massive component to weight and eating. You need to try and get that under control. I know easier said than done. But a complete 8-10 hrs of sleep helps. At least for me it does...
along with a daily walk.. even if it is for 10 mins.. just get out and think without any distractions.
