Today was sort of a crazy day…seems like lots of little things went wrong.  Nothing major, just enough to throw me off my game a bit.  I’ve been working on my budget for work and it’s turned out to be quite a learning experience.  It’s pretty challenging but I must admit I like doing it. 

We are working on getting some things situated for our oldest at school.  He informed me today that he thinks he is entering “rebellious teenage stage”, my response, “Really?  I think you need to get out of that stage”.  I’m so thankful to God that he has been blessed with caring teachers who are willing to work with him.

I’m avoiding stressing over Christmas this year.  Aside from the usual hustle and bustle, money…or lack thereof, and not being with my family I am trying hard to focus on the reason we celebrate this time of year.  I always go into a depression, always.  Some years are worse than others, but no matter what I allow myself to get this way.  Why in the world, especially during such a glorious season, would I want to feel this way?  I don’t want to feel that way, so I’m praying to the One whose birth we celebrate during this time…and it’s working!

I’m actually feeling sort of okay about the workout tonight.  I was a little bit sore afterwards but there was no pain or discomfort during…I can’t begin to tell you how that makes me feel.  Having this injury has frustrated me so much but after tonight I feel better.  In fact, after each workout lately I’ve been feeling better.  My next obstacle is to get over the fear that I am going to reinjure myself.  The way I feel about my workouts is definitely affecting my eating.  It has been much better.  I’m looking forward to getting paid this week so I can do lots of good food shopping and preparing meals for the week.

I’m still waiting to hear about my blood work; today I was going to submit the samples needed to test hormones and some other things but I hit a wall.  Looks like tomorrow will be the big day for that.  I am really anxious about all these results; I’m curious to hear what he recommends. 

Another prayer of mine and someone  else's was answered yesterday...I am beyond thrilled for this person.  She is an amazingly strong woman who has had a tough year.  Looks like she's going to be okay!
