Update

It’s been a bit. I am doing pretty well. I got to see my kids and grandkids last weekend. We went to the farm to pet the animals and then went to lunch. It was a great day. I just wish I could have spent more time with them. I’m not complaining, though, because it had been several months since I’d seen my grandkids, so it was nice. We were celebrating my youngest daughter’s birthday. It was the weekend before. I can’t believe she is 31 now!

I finished my first class with an A-. I received a 100 on my final paper, which was a film response essay. We had to watch “The Long Goodbye: The Kara Tippetts Story.” I cried so hard. I started my second class. I’m taking Accounting. I was supposed to take Global Business, but that sounded miserable, so I chose Accounting instead. I enjoy math and numbers, so I’m hoping I do well. I’m still waiting to receive my textbook, so I haven’t been able to do the assignments or reading yet.

I am doing pretty well with my depression. I had my ECT treatment last week. The treatments have been a great help with my severe depression. Today, the weather was nice, so I was able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Yesterday was the first day of Spring. I’m hoping the weather continues to be nice. I do not want snow anymore. I am so over winter! This winter, I have gained over 20 lbs. Part of the reason for that is that I was working at Dollar Tree and was buying all kinds of junk food at low prices. I wasn’t getting any exercise, so the weight piled on. I need to work on losing the weight. I have since quit the job. Now I’m trying to figure out if I need to get another part-time job to replace it. I’m officially starting my weight loss journey at 227 lbs. I never wanted to be over 200 lbs. again, but here I am.

I wish you all a great rest of the weekend.

Peace & Love
