A Break in the Clouds

Just to give a little update, I'm still off my meds. The pill they gave me Monday was so that they could SEE any leftover thyroid cells on my scan. I will recieve my actual medication this Friday, quarantine myself for two days (can't share a bed, can't use the same restroom as anyone, have to be several feet away from people), and by Wednesday of next week, I should be back up on my meds. It was pretty frustrating, but I've dealt with it and just looking forward to being done with this whole big adventure! On that note...




I had a great day today! These last few weeks have been very hard and needless to say I haven't been in the best mood. Especially given the horrible blizzardy, windy weather that's accompanied my situation, I literally feel like there has been an Eeyore style cloud hanging over my head. But for some reason today was different. I didn't really feel different physically, but I just felt happier, and feeling happier brought me a little hope!

I was really excited because the last few days I got two deliveries of some Lia Sophia jewelry (obsessed much) that I had ordered quite a few weeks ago, which was a real mood booster. And today I decided to dress accordingly so that I could actually wear some of that jewelry. It just felt pretty, and I was happy to flaunt some new accessories. Then while struggling to document, one of my completely goofy co-workers sat down and started to interact with me and my co-workers. In the midst of his tactics, he began on this rant of "I can't believes". "I can't believe this stain on my shirt, I can't believe she said that, I can't believe I shot a guy last night." I know, probably doesn't sound that funny, but I LAUGHED and LAUGHED and I can't even tell you how GOOD it felt to just laugh, and smile. I was even giggling during my full body scan, and I'm sure the lady working the machine thought I was crazy, and I didn't care. It just felt so good to be happy after so many weeks of being so glum.

Anyway, it probably seems like a small thing, but it's amazing how healing and soothing humor and happiness can be. Even just feeling pretty for a day in some new jewelry got some of those healing endorphines going, and it just felt so therapeutic.

Believe it or not there have been things going on in our lives besides my stupid thyroid stuff. I just haven't gotten the pics on the computer yet. This weekend I'll work on getting that stuff up so you can have something a little more interesting to read and look at then all of my boring health issues!
