Random, random, random

Well, I haven't posted in a few days, so I thought I'd give a mini update on what's happening lately. There's actually a lot happening in our lives right now, but I just don't view much of it as interesting. I guess i'll let you be the jugde.

We're really hoping that by Tuesday our house is on the market! Crazy, and really soon, I know. Glenn and I have never sold a house before, and considering how long it potentially takes to sell, we really wanted to get a move on now to ensure that we sold it in time, and at a decent price. There is SO much work we have to do on it though. Clean the carpets, paint the walls, clean the blinds and the baseboards, replace a few windows...ai ai ai, I just hope all the work pays off in the end.

Selling a house is a tragedy, in my mind. I feel like I'm really losing a part of my soul by leaving this house. It's not just a house, it's so much more spiritual, and intimate then that. It's where Glenn and I spent the first years of our marriage. It's where I brought both of my babies for the first time. It's the place that I've felt the most safe and loved and accepted. I love our house, it's going to be hard to leave. But, home is where your loved ones are, and I have no doubt that we will create a new haven for ourselves wherever we end up.

In a few days I get to take a radioactive iodine pill to kill of any extra thyroid cells that I might have. Initially it sounded easy and painless enough. I just swallow a pill. But what I didn't know was that for a period of time, I have to be completely off of my thyroid medication. Now, I'm not quite sure what that means myself, because I haven't gone for a long period of time without thyroid hormones, but I've just finished up day one. I was pretty nervous the entire day, but I haven't felt too bad, I was even able to fit in a pretty decent work out. All I've been told it that I'm going to be INCREDIBLY tired. So, I'll keep you updated, but if this is as bad as it gets, then I have no complaints!

As far as my new years resolutions goals, I'm doing pretty well! I've lost about five pounds, which for me is an honest-to-goodness accomplishment. I'm journaling once a week and I'm almost finished with my book. As far as getting out of debt...selling the house will play a huge role with that.

Alright, I think that's just about it. Sorry about the lack of pictures and the wordy blog. Sometimes, life just isn't that exciting! And sometimes having a not-so-exciting life...is okay!
