Small Successes

1. My IBD has been a lot better this week than it was when I got back from Europe, even the fevers have been a bit better, although the prednizone is still giving me insomnia and acne. I will be off of it soon though! Just glad to be feeling almost normal again.


2. I've managed to make it two weeks (halfway there) without my husband. Only two weeks to go until he comes back from Germany. That day cannot be soon enough! I cannot even begin to explain how empty the apartment (and my heart) feel without him.


3. Ordered a yoga DVD called Yoga for Stress Relief. A lot of the books I'm reading about IBD suggest yoga as a good tool for exercise and stress relief, so I'm going to go ahead and give it a try.


4. Got a pedicure and manicure with Courtney and Lindsay on Tuesday. It was so nice and relaxing and my nails are so PRETTY. I think I need to do this more often! Plus it was great to hang out that night and have girl time with Courtney, Jazzy and Madison. Love you girls!


5. My apartment is still clean since my mom last visited. Thanks Mommy!

Small Successes

1. I've managed to make it to Donut Friday at work without completely losing my mind in the madness of packing for our company's move, preparing for our sales meeting, and getting things scheduled for our next big conference...you know, besides all that other stuff I do.

2. Brian and I have been talking about ways we can connect more together, and things that I can do to de-stress at home. We've come up with a short, but doable list, of things that we would like to work on together. The first being Bible Study! We are looking into getting a Catholic Study Bible that we can read together.

3. My teaching husband started his new quarter this week, teaching a class he has never taught before! He is very excited about the curriculum, and although the barrage of students trying to add the class is clouding his spirit, I know that the diversity of this class will look very good on his CV. Only 3 more months until he leaves for Germany for 6 weeks to study at the archives!
