Authentically Mine

Simply put I had a wonderful weekend. A healthy dose of 2 friends I have not seen in awhile and some great food, combined with a healthy dose of DH time a more good food at a very small hidden away Italian restaurant in my town. From the outside I would not even think of going in but it was delicious.

Today was a lovely lazy day of doing nothing but going to church, reading and spending some glorious time relaxing while I got my hair trimmed and colored.

I am feeling more upbeat at the moment about coming off my meds - it is a day to day thing as to how I feel - I am still doing the 1/2 dose of .5 of Klonopin in the evenings and last night I took 1/4 off of my Trazadone. I had a little bit of trouble sleeping in the middle of the night but it was manageable.

Little steps, one at a time. Breathing and praying. Tomorrow night I meet with one of the two insulin pump manufacturers - one of the pumps will be the one I start using. The Omnipod one is newer - obviously and does not require and tube which is a drawback - but some reviews are mixed on the satisfaction users had with the limited placement options of where you can wear the part that you need to wear on your body --- of course this was told to me by the representative for the Animas insulin pump - the competitor. I have a friend who has been on the Omnipod for a few years and loves it. I am meeting the Animas rep. tomorrow night and going to the Omnipod information session next Monday (yes I know my life is thrilling!). I will have met with both reps before my appointment with Dr. Endocrinologist on the 26th. Hopefully then I will be able to hit the ground running.

I am looking forward to the appointment with Dr. OB/GYN this Tuesday - DH is coming and we get to ask all of our worrisome questions. I have been going to her for years and really like her a lot but more than that I trust her without a doubt.

So a busy week this week, and next too. Then I am slowing things down again because I want to get my ass back to yoga and spend more time taking care of my body and not frantically running around.

I do think I am going to sign up for my summer class this summer. I am just so interested and the Professor sounds amazing. I think I am going to go for it  - I go back and forth - on one hand I think it will be good for me to keep my mind stimulated intellectually but the readings seem more textbook can case study or biographical which is kind of a bummer. OK so maybe I am more on the fence than I thought, but for $40 I am going to sign up and if I change my mind before class starts in June, so be it.

Have a great week!
