Way To Go Gabes!

That's awesome news. It will really make a difference in your life if you have a job that you LOVE/LIKE instead of one that makes you wish you didn't have to get out of bed in the morning and go to.

Wishing you Love & God's Blessings!

Hi Joan:

Lot's of Love & Hugs right back at you My Friend! I'll be posting later on how things are going and catch everyone up on current events in my life. Some serious issues that I need to vent. Right now I was just checking the boards before I leave to go to my oldest Grandson's B-Day BBQ! He turns 18 today. Arghhhhhhh! I told him he wasn't allowed to turn 18 but he didn't listen very well. LOL!!!!

Love & God's Blessings:
Jodi

THanks everyone for your support.

since the MC my energy levels are not quite what they were, for quite a while i have struggled that my body can not keep up with what my mind wants to do!

I wont deny it, to accomplish the steps of this dream/goal will take a bit of energy. It is the biggest change i have embarked upon in 8 years.

Good luck with your interview this week, Gabes, I hope you get to follow TK. Seems like your planets are aligning for a reason.

Gabes, you are one impressive young lady! Change is good for our health. Wishing you the very best on your interview and I will be praying for you! I also agree on the energy level; I just can't even get close to do what I used to do. Because I have been through a major flare, I am going to switch to Paleo diet and see what happens.

We have to keep trying and looking for every opportunity to improve our lives. Ginny

given life with MC is very different to before, i think the move and new environment will help things.

One of the things i have struggled a bit with is not being able to go out to lunch with work mates,

Thanks Olivia......
the support from the MC family has been invaluable in the past couple of days.

it has been full on two days, there are 5 semi senior managers 'subtley pressuring' me to take the role with current employer here in Brisbane. they are all questioning my decision to relocate and asking why i am not career motivated. The company manufactures and supplies helicopters to the australian defence force, majority of the employees are male, ex defence personnel, and not overly accepting of females in the workplace etc. It has not been the nicest place to work and given my aim at the moment is to reduce or elimate stress from my life, i dont want to stay here.

there were some conversations with the boyfriend on the weekend and me trying to convince him that there is not a pill i can take that will solve the MC issues. I am tired of having to justify my beliefs and decisions.

I am not asking people to be believe the same things and live the same way, just accept my beliefs.

this time tomorrow i will be in the interview.

when is the interview? can't wait to hear an update...

Well, this is concerning as to TK status

there were some conversations with the boyfriend on the weekend and me trying to convince him that there is not a pill i can take that will solve the MC issues. I am tired of having to justify my beliefs and decisions.

but I wouldn't take it as insurmountable. You guys started off fast and he is in transition now, looking at things from different views, and this may not mean anything other than that, Gabes. If he truly is TK you will know soon and if not, then life goes on and you go from there.

I'm thinking of you and knowing that you will do what is best for you. This is all about you for once.

Thanks Everyone

Yes situation with TK was a bit concerning at first, most of my adult life i have put others needs first and would not make decisions or changes in my life unless those around me had been consulted and approved (outcome of being in abusive relationship)
yes i would like him in my life, then again if he cant accept me for me, I am mindful that limitations on eating out, lethargy issues and a body that goes from bubbly bum, to hours on the toilet to being reasonably normal in a 24 hour period is not fun. I am what I am.

one thing since having MC that I have learnt, is that i do have to put myself first, and do it guilt free.
My energy at the moment is needed for my own acceptance of the situation and to achieve my goals.
right now i dont have the spare energy to deal with other peoples beliefs and possible unsettlements.
