A real update...finally!
I'm on the couch. I came home from PT, sat down, and haven't gotten up. This is definitely a new level of lazy. Let's recap the last month now...
Went to remedial PT. It was frustrating. You work out on your days off...hard. The plus side, though, is that I'm now in amazing shape. I graduated the program and am working out like a mad man. I'm working on changing my diet, and for the most part, I have. I still slip up from time to time, but hey: I'm 15 lbs down and continuing, so whatever.
I'll be reenlisting soon. I'm nervous, but the more I think about it, the more I'm certain it's the right thing to do. I sew on Staff in August, maybe July. This is it. I will be retired at 38. I'm successful in what I do. My name is Holly Walker, and I have a career.
I'm still seeing Randy. I really like him. A lot. Like, I have almost let that dreaded L word slip out. He's smart, funny, and the genuine Nice Guy. Down side? He's overweight. I'm slowly working in the style, but until I figure out how to be like "Hey. Slim the fuck down." I'm stumped. I've already settled in for the long haul, so I'm now nervous. What if he won't loose weight? Or worse, what if he gains more? It's the ultimate battle of being shallow. When is big too big? I've met the Mom, the cousins, the step-sister. Not everyone, but a chunk. I even met the old college roommate friends.
My family has fallen apart. My Dad's drinking has gotten so bad that Melanie ran off from home. I'm fairly certain that my parents will be splitting, which is a good thing. The down side is I will probably have to take custody of Melanie during the process. I'm happy I can help out my sister, but devastated by the fact that I have to support my mother. I am the child here. I should not be the one telling you how to live your life. BUT, I did, she is my mother, and I can't let my sister be in an unhealthy situation. Also, my grandmother is not doing well. My mom is trying to take care of her, so another reason why she can't take care of my sister.
Overall, I'm in a good spot right now. My to-do list while I was deployed has almost been completed. My life is on track and even though things aren't 100% where they are supposed to be, I'm 23. They aren't going to be. I am making the changes that I need to in order to get myself in a good spot. My final goal is to go back to school. I'm excited for this one, as it opens so many doors for me. I need to get back into the CLEP cycle to finish up.
I'm going to head to bed now, but I felt a detailed update was required. Goodnight, me.
