Since I’ve been a little dark lately, how about some good stuff?
The semester is quickly drawing to a close. This time next week, I’ll be done with chemistry and developmental psychology. After that, it’s time to look forward to my NA1 class this summer and anatomy & physiology starting in the fall. As of right now, I’m well on my way to an A in the psychology class. I just got the score back on my paper and it was 196/200, so I’m thrilled. She also said it was one of the best papers she’s read this semester so I feel pretty darn good. We’ll skip my feelings on chemistry since this is supposed to be a happy post…
I’m back to exercising daily and am already down a couple of pounds with no change in diet. Couldn’t be happier.
I’m also getting the house back in shape after 3 long months of being sidelined. It’s slow going, but I expect it will be cleaned up enough to invite people over sometime by September. (Ha!)
Dinner is becoming my responsibility again. I kind of hate to take this back over since my husband was doing such an awesome job of tossing things together and making some delicious meals. But I’ve learned a few things from him, so I’m getting pretty creative lately, too. I made a chicken chili dish last week that was awesome. (Will post recipe one of these days!) Right now, I’ve got frozen spinach, chicken breast, alfredo sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper in the crock pot. Have no idea how it will turn out, but it smells divine!
Violet’s refusal to nurse appears to have been a fluke. She was back to normal on Monday and is clearly not interested in weaning yet. I have mixed feelings. While I’m a little bit unhappy about it (I’d kind of like my body back, after 4.5 years straight of being pregnant and/or nursing.) I am mostly happy that it wasn’t the sudden end I thought it would be. Abrupt weaning is really uncomfortable and the hormone crash is no fun. So we continue for now, but I am going to put more limits on it. It’s a plan we can both live with for the time being.
Netflix streaming on the Wii = instant happiness! I even think this will convince my husband to drop cable. That’s another way for us to save money that I haven’t been able to implement just yet.
Over all, there’s a lot of good stuff going on right now. I just need to remind myself of that more often!
