How am I doing? Pretty crummy with the holidays! Honestly,
most days I simply want to make the world stop. I fluctuate
between wondering who's life I am living (because it isn't mine!)
and trying to figure out how I ended up here. The holidays are my
favorite time of year, so I do smile and have happy moments, but
they are hard this year!! Loki keeps me laughing with all his
antics!! ;-) I love him desperately! He is my reason for plugging
away at all of it and I couldn't be more grateful to have him.
I have not regretted my decision to move even once. I have open
space, a good house, lots of room to grow and breath, and I am
loving the seasons...even with all the crazy weather we've been
having!
Our Christmas plans are to head to Atlanta, and my mom and
sisters, for a while. We will be gone from the 19th to the 30th.
(Don't worry, my neighbor is receiving packages for me... and
thank you to ALL those who have already sent gifts... we have a
VERY full tree!)
I am starting grief counseling this week, to continue in the new
year. I have a new orthopedic specialist and physical therapist for
my shoulder, and am working on an exercise regiment of Tai Chi.
My CFIDS (like fibromyalgia) is back, unfortunately, so I am doing
all I can to control my diet so my fatigue and muscular system
hold up to the rigors of a one year old!! Loki and I have settled into
new doctors, we've transferred insurance, memberships, etc, and
are working on titles, licences, etc.
I unfortunately, will not be able to start back to teaching (at least
full-time) in January, as my Oregon paperwork has not cleared.
There are like 23 levels of hell to go through apparently when
transferring a CA credential! I may be able to start at a part-time
job in February, but we will see if that pans out!?!
Me, Myself & I
