Waiting is so hard! My appointment with the surgeon seems like it’s taking forever. Just anxious to get questions answered and to see if this is the path I’m going to take. At this point, it really takes a lot for me to go out and mingle with people. I have a few friends that are always here for me and I don’t mind them seeing me whatever I look like. They are always non-judgemental and supportive. But others, that I don’t see that often, I even hate for them to see me this way.  If I end up going this route, I can’t wait to get started with the pre-surgery diet.  Get on a plan, get more energy, more self confidence.
I don’t like to blame my thyroid for my weight.  I know I have a couple of loved one’s who usually bring up that it’s probably harder for me, because of my thyroid history.  It might be true, I’m not sure, but I don’t like using it as an excuse.  BUT, I must say, ever since my new thyroid doctor has been messing with my thyroid medicine dose, I have gained and it’s been harder on me.  This past year, I’ve just felt like there has been “something” up with my health that they haven’t been able to pin down.  I’ve gone to the doctor(s) with several symptoms and have had so many tests run on me, that always come back clear.  It’s VERY frustrating.  Frustrating when you have a feeling something is wrong, but doctor’s can’t find anything that is causing it.  I have another appointment this week with my doctor to bring up a few things.  Now a days, it seems like the family doctor just sends you to specialists if it’s anything other than a cold.  I’m hoping I don’t get sent somewhere else this time.

My calendar has been pretty full this month.  Though at times, it’s taken everything I have to do something I have planned. Yesterday, I had every intention of going out and getting a few things done yesterday morning, but ended up just not doing it.  I’m thankful my husband went with me to my family function yesterday, because otherwise, I think I would’ve buried myself under the covers and not moved.  It was nice to get out and sit in the shade with the breeze blowing and just listen to everyone talking and having fun.

Once I get up from here, I need to clean house a little and once Tommie is out of bed and moving, hopefully have some friends over to play a game.  So many things around the house that need to be done that we’ve been procrastinating on.  I have had the HARDEST time getting anyone to have time to come work on things around my house that I need done.  I’ve offered jobs to three people of things that need to be done, but I think everyone’s schedules are just so busy this time of year!  We also need to refinance the house, but found out we need to clean up Tommie’s credit report.  (same thing happened when we bought the house – there is someone else’s info on his credit report, so we have to go through all the hassle of sending off letters to get it cleared up)  I also need to get started on a scanning job for my grandma, but need to figure out getting my scanner hooked back up.  Lots of organizing needs to be done around the house too.  Just need to DO IT!  Also, need to plan our vacation!  I think we’ll be taking it in August or September.

Well, hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

Until next time!
