Long time, no see
Holy crap, I haven't been on this site in more than 2 years. I had forgotten about it. Honestly, I am amazed that I still remembered my username so that I could at least set a new password.
I wouldn't even know where to begin to summarize what I've been up to the past 2 years. I guess, maybe work. I think, when I was last here, I was working at the auction house. Well, I had cut that work to part-time to go back to school for diagnostic ultrasound. I was in that for about a year and a half before we started clinicals. Within the first week, after seeing what the job as really like, I just knew it wasn't for me. I quit that school and decided that I needed to go back to what I had wanted to study for years now, massage therapy. For many reasons, I had been talked out of massage, but I knew that it was right for me. I think part of the reason that I had gone for ultrasound instead of massage originally was because people seemed impressed by it and I would make good money. I've since learned that I have to do what makes me happy, and that I can still make a decent living with massage. I've determined that I don't want to do spa work. I may work at a chiropractor's office. I am also interested in possibly working with cancer patients or patients with HIV. It's pretty cool. I've been told my many people that, when I massage, my hands get really warm. My friend, Rose, told me that in the alternative therapy Reiki, the people with the hot hands are considered to be the ones with healing hands. Pretty cool. Reiki is pretty far out there for a lot of people, since it is energy work. But, I think I'd like to check into it.
What else? Umm, I've been getting really into alternative and natural health methods. I have some issues with hormonal imbalance and I'm sick on trying to use meds to try to deal with the symptoms. I'm trying to gradually change my diet. it's going to be diificult, but it's something that I've known I should have done for a while. I knew about 5 or 6 years ago that I needed to cut wheat and dairy from my diet, and I know now just how important it also is for me to lower how much sugar I am taking in.
Well, i guess that may not be too exciting for people to read about. But, I consider it to be important. I did have some drama during my time gone, but it's really something I don't want to really put my attention on anymore.
Other than that, I've been on break from school for the past couple weeks. I recently became obsessed with the "Twilight" book series by Stephenie Meyer. The most addictive books I've read since Harry Potter! I've also been busy catching up on season 3 of Battlestar Galactica before the new season started. I love that show! I'll be so sad when it goes off the air. Let's hope they make "Caprica" into an actual series after the miniseries airs.
Well, how the heck is everyone?
