The second day of Spring. The second day of September and about two weeks away from a much needed Spring break. I look forward to linking up with Farley from Oh Boy 4th Grade at the beginning of every month. Of course, Farley doesn't know me but this link up and Currently help me reflect and express what's on my mind and I get to hear from two or three very kind people who take the time to say a few nice words about what I have written. So thank you for taking the time to read my September Currently.
My husband has just gone from watching a recorded soccer match to listening to some new age music. We don't have the same tastes in music. He's more new-age, techno, global music whilst I'm more Rhythm and Blues and Hip Hop. Opposites do attract I suppose but we make it work. It's meant to be soothing music but perhaps a little bit too soothing. My eye lids are getting heavy. :P
About two months ago, I was diagnosed with vitiligo. I had been living with this condition for about a year and hadn't really thought much about the patches on my skin for a long time until recently when I decided it was time I had it checked out when creams and Dr Google weren't helping. I wasn't ready to hear that I had vitiligo and I fell into depression. I had to take a blood test to make sure everything else was fine and it was, except for my iron levels which were quite low. That explained why I was tried, depressed and cranky all the time. It's taken me awhile but I'm slowly coming to terms with my condition and am undergoing treatment for it but having to take iron pills has meant that I am now not as tired and have more energy after work. And I'm also not cranky which is a good thing for the hubs and the son.
This term seems to have gone on forever and I am truly needing a break. I know many of you are about to begin or have just begun your school year but here in Australia we are three terms in and almost at the end now. I'm one of those who would be contented just to read, drink iced tea, and watch lots of reruns (Raymond, Seinfeld, Modern Family) during the holidays and that would make me the happiest person. I really wouldn't need anything else.
If you didn't already know, I'm vegan (does that explain the low iron levels?) and I love baking vegan desserts. I love choc chip cookie dough. I could eat a whole batch of it raw. Sometimes, I make a batch and eat it with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
Sometimes, a change of environment helps. I've always felt change was necessary for a person to 'grow'. I'm ready for a change. Bring it on!
My 3 goals speak for themselves. It's about not giving up and knowing that I can accomplish things and not doubting myself. I began with 10 000 steps on my Fitbit in February and have now worked my way up to 14 000 steps. I need to stay positive and know that I can dream big dreams because I can achieve them.
