Weekly Update

Tired. It's Sunday and it's been a good day. Again, church was inspiring. It was good to say 'hi' to people I know. The sky is overcast and I didn't get as much sleep as I'd have liked to so I'm drowsy. But that's okay.

Last night Mom and I went out to the Ruschs and had dinner with them and the older Ruschs. Later more people came over and we had a campfire. It's been a very pleasant week and I've had 3 days of hanging out with friends and soaking up lovely company. I'm going to work on spending more time during the week with friends and family, and less time couped up here in the house on the computer or in front of the television.

I did yoga 4 times this week and I'm shooting for 5 times a week so I'm doing pretty well. My health and physical strength is so important to me so I need to keep that up. And my eating habits need to change. I have certainly been eating bigger portions than I need. But this all takes time and discipline so I'll keep working at it.

I should have a job this week. I'm looking forward to making some money.

I spoke with Toby yesterday and it was WONDERFUL. He is doing so well and growing. I can't believe all the goals he is setting for himself and then achieving. I am more and more proud of him. I'll keep him in my prayers and continue to give his well being over to the Lord. I am still deeply in love with him and I think... it just keeps getting deeper. I love him and miss him.

Mom and I drove to Dallas yesterday to pick up the last things I left in my dorm last semester. I got myt stuff and saw no one I knew. Mom and I hung out with Mark and Cynthia all afternoon and evening - it was lovely.

I went to church this morning and felt inspired to get involved there. I may sing with the Sattelite band on Wednesday nights and I want to help with Angel food whenever they distribute food, which is once a month. I am also going to take the Financial Peace class beginning in February. I am a little worried about over doing things though and tiring myself out. I may see if I can sing twice a month with Sattelite band instead of every week.

I got my room cleaned!! And it looks good. I am excited to get that big, old bed out of there and bring in a newer, smaller one. I am going to be moving the computer, et al, into my room as well. It is nice to relax and be in my room now that it's cleaned. next step is to organize the computer room and change it into a room for Jude's crib.

Try. Try Again.

I've been trying to get my upstairs clean but it's been two weeks since I started and... the place is still a mess. I attribute the procrastination to fatigue most of the time but it's still not a good excuse. There just seems to be so much that needs doing that I feel daunted! There are boxes full of books and clothes and bags that I had packed up, ready to move to Dallas. I really need t get those unpacked. I guess the best thing to do is start with one, small project and once that's done move onto another small project.

Tomorrow I go in to get my hours for work - I hope they can use me Mondays and Thursdays. Wendesdays I watch the kids for Cecilia and Justin and they're paying me for it, which is nice. I'm also waiting to hear from Mrs. Connelly about Bryan Market Place or Sprout. I would love to work there 3 days a week.
So... all that said... I'm getting up off my rear right now and starting one of those small projects upstairs.

Done & Done.

To Beginnings!

Here I sit, feeling optimistic and drinking a glass of sparkling wine. My Dad and I are watching one of our favourite shows - Little People, Big World. We love having a DVR so we're able to rewind entertaining and touching scenes. Dad gets teary-eyed every time we watch ; we're believers, like the family in the show, and their faith really impacts him. Watching Discovery Channel and TLC with my Dad is one of my favourite things to do. Along with the walks we take every evening.

This afternoon I saw my doctor in Pasadena. He's impressed with my progress and upped some of my supplement dosages. I'm so excited and really encouraged as my strength is building. I can't believe the weakness of my heart (it's the main problem) but I'm glad that it can be healed.
All this has really caused me to trust in my Savior. I know that He loves me and doesn't think that I am weak, no matter how irritated I get with myself. I also know that He created me and knows each bit of my anatomy. I'm learning to throw my anxiety and worry on Him, because He wants me to. I'm feeling better.
