Rough Week (Yes, again)
I'm tired of ending my work week on a pessimistic note.
It was another rough week. I haven't written a blog entry in nearly a week due to a number of issues. I ended up working last weekend for my client and then started the work week working overtime, just to be exhausted by mid-week. I almost didn't write tonight since Ty has a head cold that triggered his asthma. The asthma (and bad cough that comes with it) made me put him back on the oral steroid. That made him throw up his dinner.....
So once again, I'm tired. My emotions are drained. This week was abnormally difficult, not just because of the challenges, but because I couldn't seem to do anything right. I asked the wrong questions. Gave the wrong answers, and provided the wrong data. I was so far from being in sync with the rest of the world that i just broke down in tears at my desk. I can't remember a time that I was so happy to see 5:30pm.
On a happier note, I bought my plane ticket to go to India in February. I'm looking forward to what this experience will bring me. Not only will I be able to see another part of the world, but I'm praying that this experience will bring me closer to changing my life's focus and follow my dream of helping those in need. I'm formulating ideas in my mind of how to be able to provide a long-term solution to poverty while creating an income for myself. I plan to journal my thoughts the days leading up to the trip, while there, and the days afterward. I will then transpose my thoughts to my blog....so that you can follow my progression of thought while away.
Also while in India, I hope to do some charity work with the poor. My father and I are working out the details to see what we will be able to do. Call me crazy, but I hope to see the leper colonies while there. From what I hear, the poverty of a 3rd world country is nothing like the poverty in the US. I will provide more details in the coming months for those who wish to help us in our efforts.
On a health note, I'm reminded that I will have to go for another round of testing in January to ensure that the cancer has not reoccurred. With that in mind, I plan to jump back into the meatless diet (except fish) and improve my exercise regimen. There are all changes that I would like to make routine. My only issue is getting use to the drastic weight loss. I'm reminded of a co-worker poking fun at me at my mention of my 120 lbs weight. My weight loss is noticeable and in order to avoid questions, I chose to control the situation by being the first to verbalize the obvious. I'm not sure there is a safe way around it.
I'm very sensitive right now. Maybe going to the parade tomorrow will help lift my spirits. Hopefully my baby will be feeling better.
