I guess since it's been 3 1/2 weeks now, I need to get back to the act of living... it's tough to do that though, when you feel like you are grieving.
I need to get to work on my transcriptioning, for a few reasons. One, Rich paid a lot of money for my training. Two, it will help pad our savings account and three, it will make the time go by faster.
I also started induction level low carbing again yesterday, which is good for me. I have had approximately 8-10 pounds creep up on me in the past year since my health has been particularly wonky. I want to get them off, plus at least 10-15 more. Ultimately, my end goal is to be the same size I was when Rich and I met 16+ years ago- a size 8! I think I can make it, but it is going to take dedication and hard work. I also feel so much better when I am low carbing, it's just hard to get back in the swing of things. So, let's see if I can lose 25 pounds over the next year. That's not a lofty goal, considering I lost more than 60 last deployment right? Of course, now I have my thyroid working against me as well.
The creeping cold bug has been crawling around my kids and making them, particularly Matthew miserable. Now Hannah has come down with it, and she stayed home today. The poor baby looks like a sheet she is so pale and has a terrible sore throat. I am starting to wonder if she is going to need to have her tonsils removed at some point in the future, as she gets strep throat at least 2-4 times per year.
Oh, for Rich's 4 day pass in March, I rented a beautiful house up in the Pocono's for us. It has an outdoor hot tub and a pool table. I am pretty excited about that and looking forward to spending some time together. Strangely, it is quite a bit cheaper than staying in a hotel and if you add the fact that we can cook our own food, it's an even better bargain. Yay!
That's about it for today, I will check in later this week.
