the new road starts from here

[jennkitty]

cut for length and so you don't *have* to read my rambling

first, out with the old...

January sucked because:

• I got a nasty cat bite which got infected almost immediately. it was not fun.
• I sprained my ankle on the way to my sleep study.
• My sleep study had no immediate results.
• I got my hours cut at work and got a 'talking to'.
• Found out my insurance has an exclusion against WLS.
• I found out my meds have been making me worse.
• I was fired.

now the salvage...

January was salvagable because:

• my wrist is mostly healed.
• my ankle is somewhat better.
• i got to do karaoke with the pirates and found a new bar w/ karaoke dj's i like.
• i found out why i have been so off/screwed up/tired.
• i got some wedding plans made, and the site reserved.
• i was reminded that my doc is awesome.
• my doc says fight the insurance re: WLS.
• my last paycheck and severance will cover feb. bills.

moving on...

February will be better because:

• they found out what was wrong with me, and my doc and i are working together to fix things.
• i will look for a job where i don't have to have an impending sense of doom, or passive aggressive coworker/supervisor dude.
• bills are covered, and i qualify for unemployment.
• i have faith, hope, and Ryan.

Random good stuff:

• I have lost 3 lbs.
• my moods are better, just since sunday, but that counts for something.
• today i had lunch at subway with ryan and i only ordered a 6-inch sub. 320 calories.
• today i worked out at the gym for the first time since july. i felt the burn. it felt good. i worked my upper body and burned 365 calories on the elliptical.
