I know it’s been a while. I know…I also say that alot. Not had a bunch I felt like saying. DragonCon is this week and we are leaving on Thursday afternoon. We are officially starting our “vacation” on Wednesday. Tat is taking the day off and we are going to maybe hit Great Adventure and finish getting stuff packed for Thursday.
Tonight is Daddy and I’s last class for over a week. We aren’t teaching tomorrow either. I spent the weekend with Daddy and Tat on Friday night and then headed home on Saturday morning. Sensei has started adding to our workout program and we get music now. He’d only had Spanish music he found some where and wasn’t real happy with so I found him a few modern songs that I think he’ll like. I taped Crazy Frog Axel F for the kids and Bond Theme Song (by Bond). I threw a few more in for variety just in case as well.
The good news is…Sensei will be gone the week we are gone. The bad news is…Sensei will be gone the week we are gone. LOL. I will still have to do my workouts and pushups/situps while we are gone if I want to have any prayer of keeping up. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem though. I’ve been doing pretty good on willpower. As you can see from the stats below I’ve been working out like a dog and being really good food wise. I had wanted to get down to 145 for DragonCon but honestly that’s not very realistic to loose that much weight that fast. So it’s not bad. I don’t plan to slack when we get back. I would really like to be able to get my navel ring for my birthday and if I keep things up this way I really think that’s a possibility.
I’ve also been working like a dog on my Tarot calls. I’ve managed to make enough money this month to cover our minimum bills so that the money Daddy made can be put to our trip. Luckily we’ll have surplus when we get back from his checks anyway. But I’m pretty happy about what I’ve managed to make. It shows me that some of the money goals I have for the upcoming months can be accomplished. I can save to get my dragon tat redone, pay off some important bills and save for Daddy’s Bday, Tat’s, and Xmas. ๐ That’s a good thing. I also managed to get Gifted Reader done for the Con. I plan to maybe do some practice readings in the halls. If they tip, great. If not…it’s practice for real life readings. ๐
A few people have asked about my health. It’s doing pretty good. Only thing to complain about is that I’ve been unusually tired. The tired I get when my thyroid is messing up. However…I saw the Dr (medical) Friday. He actually spent quite a bit of time with me, delving into my past history and things. He wants me to lower my synthroid a bit which MIGHT help with the sleep or might make it worse. Hard to say. He believes if I lower it that I won’t need to take the beta blockers for tremors anymore so I’m trying it. He’s oked the sinus medication I’ve been taking to get rid of headaches. He’s not thrilled but says if it’s helping it isn’t a major problem for me to handle it that way. He also gave me a referral for physical therapy so that I can start working on my arm. It worries me everytime I do too many pushups or get hit there. I loose the use of the arm for about 24 hours from a really good shot. Hopefully I’ll be able to strengthen it so when my test comes it gets better. I don’t remember if I mentioned before that I’m taking Lexapro now for anxiety but it seems to be doing well. I seem to handle stressful situations better and get less moments where I want to just shoot myself. ๐ That’s always good.
I’ll try and write again before we leave but I’ll be posting pictures from my phone while I’m gone regardless. ๐
Thanks for being so patient.
