Back on the Face of the Planet
So it occurred to me I haven't made a post since... wow ouch, February.
I know I've been terrible in upkeep of my LJ, and that honestly Facebook has stolen away all my little updates. Bad Tristan...
So let's update shall we?
Life is pretty good. I have been working (albeit part-time) at Torrid. I enjoy it more than your average retail job, simply because I have a real interest in the product. Heh Clothes that I love? And I do love clothes. I was never into fashion or hell even looking somewhat pretty in high school so I consider the present as a game of catch up... This is dangerous to my very limited funds. So it's a trade off. I have to absolutely LOVE it to buy it.. and only if it's not too expensive...
Kevin and I are doing really good. I am still happily in love with my Husband and while things are not ideal, nor where we want them to be; we have each other and that's what makes it work. Right now he's just recently started his schooling at Empire college to become a Paralegal and I'm really proud of him. He's enjoying it and it I am happy that he's found something he likes. After the Paralegal program is done, we are going to see if he wants to continue on to the Jurist-Doctorate program to become a Lawyer. So far he still wants to do it, so we shall see where this path takes us. I think he would make a fantastic Lawyer.
As for long term career path for myself.. I'm stumbling on the age old choice of what exactly to do. I had been toying with either Cosmetology or Culinary Arts. I've weighed both and (think) I am going to go with Culinary Arts. The school is offered at the JC and a bit cheaper. That and I think I'd really enjoy to color and cut peoples hair, but damn do I LOVE to cook.
But the main thing is that I'm not sure if I want to be a standard Chef or go the Pastry route. I really enjoy both cooking AND baking. So it's a really tough call for me. I guess we shall see how things work out and after take a few of the course at the JC find which one I love more, and what is more of my calling.
As for my Health, I had notice in the past few years my energy has been slowly declining and well the weight has been slowly gaining. Now I've always been a bigger girl, but it's been getting harder and harder to keep the weight off. Also with sleeping more and more and not feeling rested. Not to mention the concern about fertility..... So I took my butt to the Doctor's Office.
And look at that. It wasn't the fact that I thought I was just being run down and lazy... I apparently have a Hypo-Thyroid problem. Which explains why it's been so hard on me these past years. So for the past month or so I've been on medicine to help regulate my Thyroid. It's been helping quite a bit. I still need to find the right dosage, but I'm optimistic. And have dropped off about 7 or so pounds. I know that doesn't seem like much, but to actually be making ANY sort of headway is HUGE to me.
I'm still gaming and geeking out on the weekends, and I still enjoy it. I've been really digging our D&D game, and have been coerced into running my own game at some point. heh I'm excited and nervous, but the guys ( and gal!) assure me I'll do great....
Other than all those things, two separate items stick out as big things in my life... First... I am going to be an Aunt! I'm jazzed over getting a nephew. I cannot wait!
The other is that I will be 30 in September. I'm not freaking out about it, but I just don't feel 30. It's odd. But like most birthdays I am having a party, but unlike most it's going to be a kick ass Celebration! I'm thinking a big ass Luau with all the bells and whistles. ehehhe I'm looking forward to it!
Life is good.
