2024 | May
Just read the first few sentences of my last entry and wow 🤯! For starters, I did get married. We will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary on 🥰 June 8. There wasn't a wedding ceremony or party. We just went to the courthouse with my mom and my best friend met us there. Then we moved to Dallas 4 months after. Not much of a reason except for the fact that we both wanted to leave Virginia. I will save the long story for another time but we managed to leave VA and leave our family and friends. Not too long after the move we go on a cruise with my new in-laws and that wrapped up 2022.
2023 flew by to say the least. I ended up landing a great job to only get terminated after 3 months. The company was great but the manager was a bitch. She said I wasn't a good fit but in reality she was just hard to please. The person who was training me was on a work visa that expired a month after I got hired. The girl training me had to get relocated to another country and no one else took over training me. I was essentially left to fend for myself. Honestly, I am still traumatized by the whole ordeal and haven't gotten over it yet. Not much stands out for 2023. I started working at Sprouts at the end of the year. I hardly work because of lack of hours and being sick a majority of the time. I've called out an absurd amount but management has been pretty understanding about it. So I am thankful for that. Previous jobs make you feel like shit for putting your well-being before the company's needs. It is a relief. Once I am more healthy I intend on finding a full-time serious job. Hopefully something I can make a career out of. A majority of the time I am beating myself up for ending up ringing up groceries for a job. "My have the mighty have fallen..."
Recently me and my husband went to Virginia for 2 weeks to visit family and friends. The conditions at my mother's house are horrible. The house needs a ton of repairs.
I ended up in the hospital my last week there. I go into the ER because my legs and feet were swollen for about a week.It was uncomfortable to walk. 6 am I arrived to an empty ER. 16 hours later I am finally officially admitted and in a hospital room. After numerous tests, I am told that I need a blood transfusion, have heart failure and high blood pressure. My kidneys are also not functioning as they should. I have protein in my urine. Being diabetic is the root cause to everything. Three days later, I am released after lying and saying I have to catch a flight back home on Monday. My flight was really Tuesday afternoon. But I know if I didn't do this they would have tried to keep me for another day or two. Thank GOD for my best friend Cara. She came to sit with me while I waited and waited the first day at the hospital and visited me the next. Laughter is truly the best medicine.
At this point I have to really take control and do better. It's hard to restrict yourself because it just makes you want it even more. But I have to restrain from eating any and everything. I love food. It is hard but I have to start somewhere. I have to go vegan again or something.
On a lighter note, I have been binge watching Gossip Girl, Sex And the City, and 90 Day Fiancé. SATC is my comfort show. I could never get tired of Carrie and the girls. I grew up with them and the show is timeless.
