How I did it: In high school a program assigned me to work in a law office. I got bored and went to college (poli. sci. major). After graduation I worked in a family law firm and did that up until quitting a week ago. Read how I did it…
How I did it: After talking to my boss about some health issues and doing the best I could to complete my tasks I decided it wasn't going to work out so I quit. One morning in the office I sent my boss and e-mail and very politely told her that the work relationship we had would not be able to continue. Read how I did it…
How I did it: There was a blood drive on-campus and I gave a pint. A week or so later I received a letter from Commit for Life which had my name and blood type. Now when I give, I can give them the card which simplifies the blood peoples' job. Read how I did it…
I was thinking that this might be a good idea to help me cleanse internally so I don’t feel so yucky so often. There’s a story on NPR about it ( http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16513299 ) But I’ve heard about it other places too. So yeah, I will still have water but for one day a week just not eat.
So I got pregnant on Nov. 2 and I lost the kid on Dec. 12. My husband and I had told my family and some friends but not his family yet. We got his mom a book called “Funny, You Don’t Look Like a Grandma” and were going to give it to her at Christmas and tell her that way. Instead we’ve got nothing. Due to the complications and such I quit my job and so we have no money for a replacement present for her and no presents for anyone else. She’s a materialistic woman so Christmas probably won’t be so great.
But, I’m not going to let it get me down. My bro. is paying me $100 a week to babysit his daughter (9 months old) and so I can make the bills. It makes me sad sometimes watching my niece but I think it does me more good.
I’m also exercising and stuff in an effort to lose 60lbs by Aug. 7. If I succeed I know it’ll help me do better.
Last, today (Dec.22) is my 3 year anniversary and it makes me happy to know that me and my husband can work through this and that we’re strong enough together to handle it.
So far though I can’t say I’ve succeeded in not feeling like crap like half the time. I’m working on it though.
I’ve read many a book in my life, but most of them were assigned reading for some class. Yesterday at church I was thinking how sad that I’ll read a book when a teacher tells me to, but not when I just know I should. I’m a faithful Christian and follow God’s will to the best of my ability, but I’ve never read the whole Bible. By the time I’m 25 I want to be able to honestly say that I’ve read all of God’s word (at least as much as King James had).
