A brief update…

I’m still here… very busy and adjusting to the new med change… which I might say seems to be going very well.  I’m struggling a little with the appetite suppressant side effects but am working diligently to ensure I eat regular.  That was one of my biggest battles last time I took it.  Otherwise, I’m feeling .. well a tad more focused and perky.  Some of this is probably due to the medication, but I think a good part is due to me feeling a renewed sense of hope in my situation.

I know.. I know.. I still haven’t talked about my Mexico trip.  We are booked to go away for a week in January.  I am soooo excited as we have never taken a vacation and I’ve never been out of Canada.  Now we’re in the process of lining up shots and people to look after the house and well.. lots of little details to look after.

Afraid my thoughts are pretty much in a swirl tonight.  I started a new program at our local university that is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy… making changes to how we do things by changing our thoughts and our behaviors, with the end result being that they affect how we feel.  Pretty hard to directly change feelings but we can change our thoughts and behavior.  Anyway, I’m not going to make a whole lot of sense as my brain is a bit fried from the experience… new group, new people, new place… unfamiliar territory… all panic invoking stuff.

Not going to go into much more detail.  Scads and scads of thoughts around the things which have been happening in my life.  I think I’m going to have to pick one little thing and blog it out then move on to the next one, one blog entry at a time.

Bye for now.
