Long day ...
I just deleted another ranty post about my health. But instead of whining, I'll just say that because of my stomach problems, I'm going to try my very best to cut out meat/dairy/eggs from my diet. I'll consume as many free-range products as possible, as they come from animals who aren't fed hormones and antibiotics. (Antibiotics are especially evil for me, since my doctor believes my problems stem from antibiotics killing the good bacteria in my colon.) I'm not going to be legalistic about this. Matt's family is here, and his uncle brought steaks for dinner. I wasn't going to hurt his feelings by declining dinner.
Today was a pretty good day. I've been really tired all day, but that's probably because I attended a work function last night and stayed up late talking.
I took my last hormone pill today. The bleeding has stopped, thankfully. But I've been kinda out of it. Hopefully, that will change now that I'm done with the hormone.
I received my W-2 form today and am amazed. Matt and I are officially middle-class. That makes me extremely happy, but then I realize that middle-class people should have a real savings account. So, there's another goal for me to work towards!
I'm making lots of progress at work. I have a new manager who is really working with me on landing large orders. I love what I do. It's so, so, so nice to be able to say that and mean it!
I'm still digesting Crystal's pregnancy. I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to reach out to her. Part of me wants to yell at her. Part of me wants to ignore her. But I don't want to do what I want to do. I want to do what God wants me to do. So, I'm listening for His voice. It always amuses me when God gives me answers to questions I never asked. Beyond all of this, He has something greater He is trying to teach me. Perhaps it's patience. I definitely need more of that. I haven't talked to anyone about this, and I don't want to. I need to hear directly from God. There are times when I need counsel, but right now, I can't afford to hear from anyone except Him. So, if you have any advice, wait until I ask for it. I'm sure I will soon. But for now, I need to sort all of this out on my own.
