My 'Word, What a Few Weeks!
Well, I've been a busy little girl! Work and school, work and school, no time to do anything but work, study, sleep...I've sorely neglected my duties to myself. And to my journal.
I've changed my medications slightly. My liver enzymes were too high, so my drs. took me off Depakote entirely. So far, no problems. And they raised my thyroid medication, which may be why I was so depressed there for a while. All in all, except for being tired and having a head cold, I'm doing quite well.
After this week, I'll be unemployed again. My job at Knott's will end on the 31st unless they decide to hire me back for the rest of the year. If they don't, it's back to temp work. *Sigh*. But I do what I have to. I have now committed to 3 or 4 years of school, and I'll be damned if I let a job stand in the way.
I've also committed to losing 50 pounds. I'm a little worried about diabetes, what with my meds and all, and I plan to lose 1 pound a week for the next year. That should be just about right.
Well, thats enough of my boring life. No great insights this week. :) But I promise to be back again.
