Catching up

I realize that I haven't written much about what is currently going on with me.  So for this post I am taking a break from reflecting and talking about the present and future.   Since I seem to have a lot to say, I will do it in bullet form. 

• I go to Dr. C. on Friday.  I am a little nervous because we were unable to do the SA earlier.  I am making DH come so he can explain why it did not get done.  I am also hoping that she will move forward in planning.  I have a list of things to discuss with her that I want her to comment on or do.  It might be time to go a different route and go to a NaPro doctor instead.
• I had a great weekend spending time with other couples in the same page as me from my Facebook group.  The host, Stephanie from Chateau d'IF at first thought I was crazy to come.  We had to drive almost 4 ½ hours to get there, but we had a great time.  In my area it could take 4 hours just to go 60 miles, so the drive was worth it.  The food was awesome and I could eat 90% of it!  (More on that later).  It was awesome spending more time with Rebecca from The Road Home!  She was so kind to let us stay at her house and I needed the extra girl time.  She is an awesome women who inspires me. 
•  My diet is going great, almost too good.  I have lost a little too much weight but I feel great.  I am doing Gluten/Soy free.  I love cheese and ice-cream to much to give those up.  My thyroid seems to be responding as well. 
• We are going on vacation at the end of the month and I can’t wait!  One week at the beach is exactly what I need right now.  Work has been very difficult lately, there has been a ton of changes that I am feeling very looked over and worried about.  I moved desk about a month and a half ago and since then I feel out of the loop.  Also I am having major self-esteem issues because I am not being asked to do things that I feel I can do and should be doing.  Not only that but my immediate supervisor is hard to talk to and does not always answer e-mail.  I am grateful for the job but I am quickly getting bored and frustrated with it.  I don’t need my work to be stressful!  I quit teaching because of the stress level and self-esteem issues and now it is coming back.  I know there is a logical explanation for everything, but I feel left out and like I have done something wrong.  It is not helping me heal and certainly not helping my confidence with IF.   I over analyze everything and make connections that are not there. 
•  I am taking a 3-week class on the Mass and I love it.  In fact I might be crazy but I am thinking about getting my catechist certificate because it would help me teach CCD and I just love learning about my faith.  It is so interesting and I like being in school, it give me purpose when I come hope instead of just sitting around watching TV. 
• Finally I get to see my spiritual director on Sat.  I cannot wait to talk to him and get insight into everything that has been going on.  I will differently write something about next week. 

 That pretty much is what is going on.  I ask for prayers as always.
