Positive Thoughts Week 8

I think after this post I'm going to stop labeling these with weeks and just have them be a given weekly installment.

Positive/Good things week of 9/22/14:

  • PT starting to help a lot with my sciatica - I've seen some major improvement this week.
  • I got to spend a large majority of the weekend with my friend Melinda - we have a girly sleepover and hit a local crafts festival with my littlest kiddo in tow. It was a great time!
  • I spent Saturday night playing music with my buddy Derek (again!), and that was pretty awesome. I'm so glad he and I have scheduled these jam sessions pretty regularly, because it does wonders for me on a million different levels.
  • I've lost 4.4 lbs since starting my medication. I'll take it!
Overall my mood has been much more stable over the last 7 or 8 days. Tuesday of this week was especially stressful, but I handled it fairly well. The things that are getting to me are things they would get to anyone, so I feel like this is a very "normal" stress/sadness period - but mostly I've been able to still smile and laugh and feel okay about things in general despite the stress/sadness. My usual reaction would be to just lie in bed and cry and feel sorry for myself. The fact that I'm still functioning outside of work and looking forward to doing things outside of work is huge for me right now.
