Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday and we haven't even started our thread! Time gets away from me at work these days because we're getting ready for our first orientation program. It's been a little crazy with all the preparations.

I'm really struggling with being tired and achy and the brain fog is getting worse. I feel more like crying these days than laughing. I'm counting down the days till I have my blood drawn next Tuesday and am hoping that those darn blood levels are where they need to be so I can get back on my meds and start getting my thyroid levels back up to the normal range. The buzzed feeling is the worst!

My weight has been climbing in big increments rather than tiny ones and I've put on 8# in three weeks with doing nothing out of the ordinary. My clothes are feeling tighter and I feel frustrated. I went to my meeting today and was up 3.2# and I was in tears at the meeting. I journaled all week (first time in a long time) and felt like it was a "losing battle". I know it's not and I know this is temporary but geesh...it's frustrating.

I had a nice visit with my GF from FL--we went out to dinner on SUnday and had a really good time. It really makes me miss her all the more.

Lori: I hope everything is going well with you and that you and Phoebe are getting into a routine. It's a fun time for you and savor it as much as you can because they grow up all too quickly! My son made dinner tonight and it was a welcomed treat because I was tired. He made the cola chicken, couscous with broccoli & roasted red pepper with some seasonings. He's not afraid to experiment so it was good.

Lisa: I hope your weather is better there than what we're experiencing. IT's been an unseasonably cold Spring and the outlook for summer is not that great. I'm hearing it's going to be a cool, wet one this year and so far it's been holding true.

I'll try and check back in later. Hope all is well.

Pam: I hope you're doing okay--miss seeing your posts here and often wonder how your DH is doing.

Lori: My son will be coming here at the university I work for (Gannon) in the fall. So far he's been set on psychology with his sights set on child development as the end goal. I'm hoping that once they get things straightened out my weight will follow--it's just so darn frustrating to see the scale going up!

I remember nights like you've experienced and it's hard. Just remember that it'll pass and soon she'll be sleeping all night and so will you.

Another dreary day here this morning and it makes it even harder to get up in the morning. I went home last night took a nap, got on the computer for a little while, went to bed at 10:15 p.m. and still had a hard time getting up this morning! Aaarrrgghhh. I have this fuzzy, lightheaded feeling again and my limbs feel like someone has removed the bones if you can imagine that feeling.

It's busy here again today and it'll make the day go by fast.
