Excited about the future

     First of all let me start by saying how excited I am that my brother in law Jesse has finally found the right girl!  The first night I met her I knew that she was great for him.  I even sent him a text and told him that he would end up marrying her.  She is just a sweet, normal, down to earth, southern girl.  That is really all I have ever wanted in a sister in law.  If he screws this up and does not marry her I will murder him!  I say all this to get to my point. This past Saturday I sent Kelly a text to see how her last OB appointment had gone.  We were texting back and forth when she told me that she had just run a 5k.  I was shocked.  Homegirl ran a 5k and she is like 13 weeks preggo.  She is like superwoman or something.  Anyhow, I told her that one of my bucket list items was to run a 5k.  Her response, I will teach you to run.  I was floored.  How sweet!  Needless to say to those of you who know me well, my only GA sister in law on Lee's side has never been nice to me like this.  It felt so refreshing.  This is truly the kind of sister in law I have always prayed for.  Don't get me wrong, Brandon's wife Lisa is great, and she always does kind things for me too.  I just don't have anyone here in GA on Lee's side, until now :)
     So, Kelly quickly informed me what shoes to get and asked me if I was available this coming Saturday to train.  I feel a little bad because I don't think she realizes that I have literally been in bed sick for the last year.  Oh well, I am determined so we will get there together!  I went Monday and got the Nike plus and sensor.  I also downloaded tons of running songs onto my iPhone.  I got the couch to 5K ap and was ready to get started Tuesday.  Of course I wake up Tuesday not feeling well.  By the time I got home I fell into bed and did not get up until around lunch time Wednesday.  The evil stomach virus had attacked!  The good new is I think I am just about over it.  No matter what I am doing some sort of working out tomorrow.  I cannot let this super sweet girl down.
     Hopefully you will be hearing more from me soon on my training and plans to run my first 5k.  I won't lie though, I will probably be writing about my lovely sister in law to be and my future niece or nephew too.  Until then, I am just excited about the future!

No filter - Sorry if I offend you!

     First of all something is seriously wrong with my body.  I don't know what it is because I am not a doctor, but I know my body and I know it is not normal.  I went to my family doctor and she ran all the tests she could.  She recommended that I see my endocrinologist and have him run some specific tests.  I called him and told him that my family doctor wanted those tests run.  When I had my appointment with him this past Monday he told me that he had not run the main test my family doctor wanted me to have.  I kept telling him that I was having multiple symptoms and am not feeling well.  He simply decided to keep my meds the same and sent me on my way.  WHAT THE HECK!?!  So, I promplty did some research and found a new endocrinologist in Atlanta.  I have an appointment with this new doctor Friday.  I really hope that she can provide some answers.  I am so tired of having to feel like crap, tell my friends that I cannot do things with them because I don't feel well, and miss out on life.
      Now, on to my second gripe for today.  Because of all that is going on with my  meds not working properly my anti-depresant/anti-anxiety medicine is pretty much not working at all.  As I explained to my granny, this medicine is what I take to help me be able to be around other people without murdering them.  I have basically turned into my mother in law.  If I think it, I say it (no filter).  So, if you cross me over the next week or so until all gets straight I apologize but you can blame my old endocrinologist who didn't properly do his job!
      This brings me to the subject of friends.  Being sick like this lets you realize who your real friends are.  True friends will invite you to do things, and when you say "I'm sorry, but I am not feeling good.  I want to come, but I can't." they will understand and they will continue to invite you to do things and not treat you differently.  Being sick has led me to see that I had a few "friends" who were not true friends.  It makes me a little sad because I thought that they were good friends, but it also pisses me off because I would not have done that to them.  I really appreciate the many friends I have who have stuck by me and continue to invite me to things.  The friends who ask how I am doing.  The friends who ask if I need anything.  I have even made new friends through work who are going through this roller coaster illness with me.  They have be so supportive and kind and it truly means the world to me. 
      On that note, Thank you Donna, Nicole, Melissa, Jennifer, Lauren, Tarita for being such good friends and sticking by me.  I appreciate your concern, love, support and compassion, and I love you all!
      I never intended this blog to be about my stupid hashimoto's disease but for some stupid reason it has ended up being that way.  I hope and pray that I get well soon and I can start blogging about more important things like gossip, television, shopping, etc. :)
