Happy Easter and other rambles





Happy Easter ... i added a picture of sir hops-a-lot and oliver from my easter basket :)   i got loads of candy and some small toys and did i mention candy and movies and a poster that i can color...mommy sent me jewerly for some reason ..but i talked to her this morning and told her happy easter so that obligation is over ..  im making a big easter dinner..ok kinda big..im making roast with carrots, mac and cheese, broccoli and rolls ..it is going to be yummy..

this weekend i am keeping things majorly low key..last week was busy with babysitting and then having nia and noa and rob here...we certainly managed to cram a lot of activities into only a few days...we went out for ice cream, we went to the childrens muesuem, the movies, maymont park, and the melting pot...it is was busy...super busy..and very tiring but it was a lot of fun... noa even picked out a trolls toy for me :) i have it on my dresser with my other little toys... and sarah got me an easter bucket that makes me really happy !!   my current obsession is these little things called num noms..they smell really good !  and again they do absolutely nothing..but i must have them! they are so cute...im searching for the pbnj, the grilled cheese, and the berry waffle !!  i must find them :) 

with everything that has happened my body is so worn out...like i have no energy left...im more determined to get my physical health in better order... like i wwent to maymont..and we walked the entire thing...the uphill little hike at the end almost killed me...i felt embarrassed that i had such a hard time doing it...i really thought i wasnt going to be able to finish it..and i had noa cheering me on very loudly...but its like im seriously out of shape...like i worked for an outdoor camp at one point you know..i did 4 day hikes..i danced for years...my legs used to be so much stronger..and now they are weak and i dont like that ... i have to get stronger..that will probably help my back to...i am feeling a bit more focused...i need help though...goodness do i ever need help with it..so ill talk about some of my concerns with the nutritionist on monday... and yes i know better than to eat all that candy i got lol...im gonna break it up and it will probably last me quite a while !   

but over all ... im trying hard not to beat myself up over it...i have to stop myself from thinking of how awful i did and focus more on that i actually finished....or that i overate a little bit this past week...ok i had fun with my sister visiting...today is a new day...so many ways to think that are automatically negative and attacking myself and it happens so easily..and so trying hard to remind myself of the positives..like yep ive been taking my medicine..yep ive been remembering to eat something with it..hey i got out of the house every day last week..its the little things that i gloss over and instead want to focus on the not so good... but it is constant work ... tiring work.. 

so next week i start my pharmacy tech class.. it is here finally...for the next 12 weeks i will be learning...and at the end of that...ok in september i will be getting a job in a pharmacy hopefully ! 

august though is still the wedding and i need to start planning for that...hotels and travel time and everything ...driving up to michigan and ohio... fun...that will be my last bit of traveling though for this year... this year for the holidays we are staying put...   i am planning a cruise for early next year though...ill also be going home to get jalen in june..and he will be with me most likely until aug..so yep..busy busy busy time coming ..

and the medication issues are minimal right now...i did increase the metformin to twice a day...starting yesterday....and im being very very careful to eat when i take it...no more taking medicine on an empty stomach..i have to remember to call the appointment place and see about an appointment with the endocrinologist .. ill do that tomorrow...

but ok ... i think that is about all of the needed rambles for today. :)
