AWESOME

A year ago, almost to the day, I went to my (awesome) doctor because I was so tired I could barely get out of bed, let alone function at a normal level. Thus started a several month journey back and forth to blood labs, specialists, pharmacies, and hospitals. 11 months later I had had 2 surgeries, 3 sleep studies, several sleep aides, a CPAP, 7 separate blood draws, and 3 cameras shoved down my throat. After canceling 3 vacations, not eating for several weeks, and not sleeping for several nights in a row, I was basically at my wits end. And then, suddenly I made some major changes and life improved drastically. I put my foot down a couple of times at work. I got rid of a boy who, in the end, was a huge ass (thanks friends who knew this MONTHS in advance). I spent some time with some amazing friends and their beautiful children. I started eating balanced meals and working out 3-4 times a week. I started taking obscene amounts of Vitamin D. And all of a sudden, my life is AWESOME. Again. I mean, it was awesome before, but apparently it just took a break. I have energy like nothing I have ever had before. I can get up at 6, workout, work all day, do something late into the evening, and repeat. I no longer have to spend all weekend sleeping just to get through the next week. I feel good. No, I feel great. And it is about time. 30 sucked, but not for the reasons I thought it might. 31 is going to be awesome, and I am so ready to get started. I have a lot to look forward to, and a lot going great in my life already these days (and no, I am not going to expand on that just yet...). It is about time.

So, thanks everyone, for bearing with me as I got through this last year. And now, as I am about to turn 31, I am pretty sure we have a year to catch up on. So, who is in for some fun trips and new adventures? C'mon people, I have energy to burn and places to go!
