Long overdue update!

Now that the drama in my life is subsiding, I feel like I should do an update.

Soccer is officially over. I am done with it. I have no more duties or obligations left. It is a big relief and I am definitely sad at how it ended. The banquet went of nicely. We had quite a few families show up and most of the girls. My pain in the butt did show up, but oh well. My assistant coach showed up and was a pain in the butt, but I don't have to have anything else to do with her.

School is calming down. Teaching is definitely getting easier now that I have time and energy to devote to it. For the most part, my classes are great and I'm enjoying them. I'm not needing to do a whole lot of work at home very often which is nice too.

I'm working out now. I walk 3 or 4 days a week for around an hour. Twice a week, I go to the gym and do the elliptical trainer and lift light weights. I'm definitely feeling better and I think it is helping to ease the weight gain. According to my in-laws scale, I'm up two more pounds to make it around 9 lbs gained. I'm having a hard time being relaxed about how much I weigh. I'm so scared of hitting the heaviest I've ever been, but I didn't exactly start out very light.

Junior is moving around more. I feel the movements in the mid morning and then again starting around 5:00ish at night. S/he usually continues until I fall asleep. I don't know whether to classify this as a lot of movement or a little because I don't have any comparisons.

My heating pad and I are becoming best friends. My back has been killing me lately. I haven't walked since Thursday night, so I wonder if that is part of it. My sciatic nerve has been acting up a lot lately too. I definitely feel better after sitting with the heating pad for a while.

My heartburn has been tolerable lately, but I am still living on two Pepcid ACs a day and sometimes a few tums on top of that. My asthma started getting bad last week and it is still bothering me. It may sound dumb, but I feel like it gets worse when I eat or drink anything with sugar in it.

J and I are doing okay. We had a few rough days last week. It was only due to the stress of dealing with Thanksgiving with my family. We never fight or even argue. Discussions never get that far before they are settled. We argued three days in a row to where I would be in tears (one day I even started throwing up. We're fine now that Thanksgiving is over.

We have yet another appointment this week. I feel like we just had one.

I am falling asleep as I finish this, so I guess it's now bed time.
