It's June, and I haven't written in here in far too long. I'm happy to report that I have gotten my shit together, at least slightly, when it comes to working out. Some weeks are better than others, but overall, I think I'm doing ok. I need to do more - but I feel like I've been more on track at least for the last 3 or 4 weeks. Of course, tonight my stomach decided to give me some minor trouble (typical - stupid IBS) and so I skipped my workout routine, but it's my first day off since Saturday, so I'm giving myself a free pass.
Otherwise, life has been overwhelming. That's all I can say. I have been on a rollercoaster, both personally and professionally. I don't want to dive too deeply into things right now. All I can say is that no matter what, lately, as soon as I think maybe things have evened out, I'm thrown for another loop.
The good news is that through all of this, I am blessed by a few incredible friends. I know I've said that before, but I can't say enough how fortunate I am to have a few amazingly supportive people around me in my life. I suspect that as I end this current decade of my life, I will be faced with some big choices and significant changes, and I feel very lucky that I will have these chosen few people there to walk alongside me.
Oh and my baby turned 9 a couple of weeks ago. UNREAL. REALLY!
I have been knitting. My sister expecting a baby is good impetus for that. :-) My sister and brother-in-law opted to not find out the gender of the baby, which has left them stuck with a heap of lame gender-neutral items. Neither of them are a fan of pastels (who is really?) but prefer bright colors.
So what better choice for a baby due in late August, whose parents' anniversary is the day before Halloween, then a pumpkin hat and bootie set. SUPER CUTE. Making things is a nice distraction from my day-to-day life chaos, and some of my underlying loneliness and unhappiness.
