Life is SWEET
For the first time, in a long time, I have nothing really to complain about. Life is going pretty well I feel. I'll break down recent events into smaller sections:
Health:
I'm not having any flare ups, pain or other horrible symptoms of Crohn's Disease. This is amazing as it is the first time in years I'm not flaring, in pain, without appetite or feeling constantly weak. I have, since the surgery, gained 16.5 pounds. I am now only 10.5 pounds from my goal weight.
Life:
Things have been going pretty good. Kate and I have been very busy doing all sorts of fun things. On June 1st Kate and I went to Princeton, NJ for the afternoon. It was our first real venture out to enjoy the day since my surgery and it went great. We even got ice cream out! I finally for the first time in months got to use my camera too! We went to the Big Apple BBQ in New York City on Sunday the 10th. I ate like an animal and had no adverse side effects; rock on! Then on June 16th we left for Virgina Beach for a full week of fun in the sun! I sure had a lot of fun, and a lot of sun! We stayed in a beautiful beach house rental. Kate's Aunt Rose retired from the US Navy and got married on the beach on Sunday the 17th. Unfortunately my camera died on vacation so there aren't as many pictures as I'd like. My father-in-law was gracious enough to let me use his Nikon D70 to take a few pictures during the vacation. This weekend we're going to see our good friends Rachel and John who are having a Pre-Fourth of July party as the Fourth is in the middle of the week this year ... unfortunately I'll have no photos from this event as my camera is non-functional.
Work:
While I was promised to take the lead on a major account I was denied that promotion. While this upset me greatly at first my anger was quickly resolved when I discovered that we lost the account in question shortly after. Now, while this makes me grateful that I didn't take this on as my main job role I am also dismayed as this is yet another loss for my team and our future is even more in jeopardy than ever. As of now I am nervous about my future and getting no answers from management; but I have no control over this so I can't do much but be angry.
I guess that's really it. An overall very good update! If only I had a camera and a better job!
