Friday Feelings, the Sequel

Hey guys! I’m really excited that I’m actually getting a post out the day I plan to – here is my second installment in ‘Friday Feelings’, actually on a Friday this time!

This week, I’m feeling a million things, but most of all, I’m grateful. The past couple of weeks have kinda flipped my world upside down for the time being and I feel like I’m stuck in the Fresh Prince theme song right now.

I had a Dr appointment Monday morning, which led me to Urgent Care, and I found out I have walking Pneumonia that evening. Why would I be grateful for this BS? One good thing about having MS is that Drs at Urgent Care centers take me really seriously now and don’t play around when it comes to treating infections. Two antibiotics, steroids and an inhaler later, I feel like a new (exhausted) person. (who will need probiotics next week)

I found out I got the position I’ve been working SO hard for at work on Tuesday, had my first conference call for that position Wednesday – there’s obviously much to be grateful for here. This is what I’ve been working for since I started at this company, and I can’t describe how excited I am to see where this goes.

I went to the dentist on Thursday, and it went unrealistically well considering it was my first appointment in four years. (don’t judge me, we’ve been broke insurance-less newlyweds, ok?) I had one filling done 8 years ago, and it needed redone. And my teeth needed cleaned. That’s it. I’m feeling pretty proud of my brushing habits and grateful that my Mom and pediatric dentist kept my teeth A1 all these years.

Like I always say, acupuncture today was great, and so was counseling. I think I’m actually starting to look forward to it, maybe??? Grateful AF if that’s the case, because I’ve dreaded it since I started again in April. My Mom also rented our flea market booth for the winter today, so we get to set that up this week, and I’m looking forward to that a lot more than I thought!

The coming week is going to probably be just as, if not more, hectic than this one. More appointments, the Fall Out Boy concert, onboarding for the new position, setting up the booth, working because I can actually breathe, trying to find time to act like I have a husband, it’s injection weekend, etc.

With all of this going on, and with the holidays rapidly approaching on us (can you b e l i e v e we have less than 90 days until 2019?!?!!) I’d usually be overwhelmed and a little frantic with everything going on…but I’m just feeling grateful. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve meditated 5 of the past 7 days, maybe it’s because I’m finally feeling human again, maybe the Universe is trying to give me a break from the ass whoopin it’s been steadily delivering me by sending some positive vibes my way.

Whatever it is – I’m grateful for it, too.

Side note: I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend! I get to go back to work after a 10 day hiatus, so I’m actually super super excited and can’t wait. Then we have the FOB concert Sunday, so pray for my husband y’all, cause I might act a little bit of a fool.
