Pavlina: Life is Not For the Living

Well, we had out (almost) week in the sun. I should say Jason and the kiddies had it, I was at training for half of it. It was great, nonetheless. I have some great pictures and when I get off it I will make a proper entry about that.

I just wanted to say hello again! I don’t post as much as I wish I would or as much as I want to. I wish there was some way I could post during my commute time! That would be great. I could just speak into some gadget, then stick it in my USB drive, recognize my speech, convert it to text, fix the errors and I would be done! If only! Those 90 minutes or so a day are about free time. I usually listen to books (via podcasts), podcasts or NPR. I’ve also been on a coffee jag all day, I am on cup number three right now, but the good news is that I am finally gaining some weight! Wheee! Before you curse me and leave, let me just say that I was getting VERY worried about my unexplained weight loss. I was imagining the worst and coupled with my strange intestinal troubles, well you get the picture. My GI tract seems to have (mostly) straightened itself out (no more blood at least in the last 2 months) and I have gained a bit of weight (better than losing) so that makes me feel better. My clothes are fitting the way they should fit and not hanging off me like I am one of those science class skeletons or Victoria Beckham. I think it was just stress, insane stress. Apparently when I get stressed I start crapping blood and losing weight. What fun. I still have a few more appointments with a CR doctor and my doctor but I suspect I will get the all clear.

Martin is finally talking a bit more. The speech therapist reckons he is around a 24 month level (he is 3) so we are always working with him. He did get into the special ed preschool for the fall. I know a lot of people kept saying, “I wouldn’t worry about it”, but I would here all these two year old kids just chattering away and NOTHING from Martin. Heck, I WAS worried. Even now, his speech delay is very normal for us and I don’t even realize it until I am around three years olds and I see how Martin’s speech delay has really affected him. Poor kid. Anyway, hopefully all water under the bridge.

I’ve been rambling.
