absent
I haven’t blogged for a week or so because 1) I’m busy (i know blah blah) and 2) I’ve been feeling really not myself; I think I have some mental/physical manifestations of the amount of demands being put on me right now, so of course I’m being very non-efficient! I wanted to blog it not to complain but to explain and so I’d have record of when it happened to me again… it’s been a year or two since I’ve experienced it. It’s just a nervous feeling, sometimes manifests in intense stomach pains, sometimes bouts of nausea, sometimes a headache, sometimes extreme fatigue and weakness, sometimes dizziness. One of the hardest parts is everyone immediately asks me if I’m pregnant, and when you’re currently 100% POSITIVE you aren’t due to the time of the month it is, it’s just a teeny bit annoying… I left work early twice last week because I felt so non-functional…Today has been ok . . and I got through Saturday’s wedding due to the help, support and prayer of some awesome friends & fam – it was such a great wedding experience, I was honored to be asked to be a part of it!
Anyway not much longer to keep up this pace, and I’m ready for it to be over….
Other randomness:
- I finished the Host, and it was sooooo good. I mean, it’s no Twilight saga, but it is a really really entertaining and page turning piece of fiction, and I really loved it.
- It is so cold here right now, but not a lick of snow
- I am totally behind on LOST this year, I’m trying to catch up
- I’m trying to figure out how to transition out of the job I’ve been in for five years… it’s going to be interesting
- I tried taking a multi-vitamin a few weeks ago and I felt terrible from it. This does not bode well for me lol
- March is the “MONTH OF BIRTHDAYS!” Kristin Hesch, Kristin Lynch, Lexi, Danielle (30th!), Amy (25th!), Biz, my cousin Michael, my cousin Kaitlyn …. and my 27th isn’t far behind coming up April 2!
- Our worship band led by my wonderful husband has an actual out-of-town gig coming up! It’s going to be exciting. Although I just realized that I’ll have to miss the Twilight DVD Borders release party on the 21st.
- My sis is growing spiritually like leaps and bounds lately, and I am so honored to be part of her life and watching it all happen. I don’t know where all this will lead, but I can see the hand of God in the situation and I trust He will lead her down the right paths.
- I know a few people who’s jobs have either downgraded or laid them off and its a very scary time. All we can do is pray and wait, its going to be a while before the country gets back on its feet. And I think we all need to stop being so scared . . . I pray that I can do the same.
And lastly, if you are a reader, please leave a comment and say hi, I’d love to know who’s out there. Thanks

I’m a reader with some anxiety so I know how to pray for you, and have been. I’ll bring a check for the photography gift certificate to church. How awesome is what God does through your musical talents as a couple!

sorry to hear you’re not feeling well…i was having some similar problems last week. i think it’s mostly from a build-up of stress. i hope you find some answers so that you start feeling better!

Just a quick comment – I take a multivitamin (and calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin D supplements) every day. I have to take it/them right after I eat my breakfast (and it has to be a filling breakfast) or otherwise I get nauseous. I encourage you to take your vitamins – I notice a difference in my energy level when I slack on taking them. Try my tip. I hope it works for you.

Glad to hear the wedding shoot went well despite my keeping you up half the night on Friday with my ramblings. I appreciate your listening!
Sorry you’re feeling so crappy, I have this auto-immune thing that occasionally rears it’s ugly head and it STINKS.. so I kinda understand and hope/pray you will be yourself againg soon.
Much love,
Jen
