Up Down Up Again

It's been a crazy few weeks... I am Diabetic and my Diabetes spun out of control.  Truth be told it had been out of control since being in the hospital about 8 months ago with Pneumonia and then later being diagnosed with Pleuricy. No bueno.  My GF and I went to Diabetes Center of America, which I am happy to announce is my new clinic. So why the up down and up again? I was put on insulin. I had never been on insulin before.  It was a really big step, and to be honest took its toll emotionally.

Now, almost 3 weeks later, I am much better (physically AND emotionally.) It sure does make a difference when you feel better and then realize how sick you felt! 

In other news... our 6 month anniversary is coming up, and following that is our week vacation. I'm excited!

Work is going well, it's work, but it's all good.  Life's good... Enjoying the summer! 

Until next time :)))

Crushing Self Doubt

So... I made a huge life decision. After graduating with my Bachelor's in Psychology in January (whoohoo) I am going to apply to Graduate School, for my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. Yep people, I am going to go for my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor.) I talked with the GF at length about this. I have always wanted to go for it, but self doubt had kept me from moving forward. To be honest, I'm not all that great of a student. I don't know if it has to do with having A.D.D. or what, but I have always - and continue- to find school a challenge *unless* it's a class I'm highly interested in. I've also never ever had anyone in my corner, so to speak... Now though, I do.  She believes in me as well.  It's not that I don't believe in myself, it's just that I get dissapointed. I'm just not all that school savvy. But here I go... I'm going for it! Very excited too. I spoke with a school yesterday, and to be honest it really sounds like a perfect fit. We'll be in contact frequently up until it's time for my to apply. Soooooo... that's that. 

Other than school news, not much else new or exciting in my world. Just focusing a lot on school, working hard, and spending quality time with the GF.  Life's good. 

... Until next time, my friends.

A great weekend... a great life!

So I spent the weekend with my love, and our friends. We went to the Dave Matthews Band concert, and it was awesome; also had a very nice (and long) day in the pool with our closest friends.  Quite lovely and relaxing of a weekend, now it's time for me to study and take my midterm (yet... my brain is scattered and concentration level is low.) 

Life's good. The GF and I were talking about marriage last night. It was a really nice, exciting conversation. I love her so much, and we are such a good fit for one another. You know when... you just "know"?! Yep, that's us. One day... One day... 

Well off to studying I go. Until next time :)

A Fresh Start

Here's to a fresh start... I officially posted my last blog in "From Divorced to Diva", this morning.  This is a new beginning. A new blog. A new chapter in my life.  Welcome to my journey.
