I got sick, got better, got really busy

I got sick
So if you hadn’t noticed with my last sets of posts in February, I wasn’t doing so well. And it wasn’t long before I literally broke down. I woke up one day and had no energy, felt nauseous, and other icky symptoms. Everyone though I might be pregnant. After a week of the crap, I went to the doctor. The drew blood and I expected them to tell me they didn’t find anything. Lo and behold, I had a keen doctor, and she diagnosed me with a bacteria called H. Pylori. Nasty stuff. I believe that my life at the time allowed this bacteria to go crazy. I am still not clear if I ingested it somehow or if it is naturally occurring and somehow my lowered immune system allowed it to get out of control. If you wiki, you can go look it up and tell me! Anyway, it took 2 antibiotics and a stomach acid reducer totaling 8 pills a day for two weeks to kick that bacteria’s butt. And I was well into the 2nd week of that regimen before feeling better. But thankfully, I did get better, much better.
I got better
So when my energy returned, I felt nothing short of incredible. I got myself busy in all sorts of things and it just hasn’t let up! I have done lots of things – my proudest moment – completing my first triathalon. My not so proud moment – the lack of exercise since then.
I got busy
Life continues to be heavy in parts and there are times where I feel a lot is asked of me. But somehow I find the balance or at least give myself permission to let things slip if they need to. Nothing HAS to be done and sleep is important.
I have missed blogging so much. I needed to update my Wordpress install and a few other things and now I am back and ready to get back to it!
And of course, at the center of my universe, these two in the picture above. They are so grown up. Here they are, ready to go, determining what their next adventure will be. I have wanted to be here and now that I am it scares me somewhat. I am passed the baby years now and we move forward into uncharted waters. As I take this picture I am right behind them wondering what my next adventure will be. Everyday I change my mind – Sunday I wanted to work for Greenpeace, Monday I wanted to be a nutritionist and today I wanted to reform education. *sigh* The answers will come, I have to trust that the universe will shove me where I need to be…
With that I hear Quinn – she has woken a lot tonight, so something is up. But I just wanted to post something to say that I am back and look forward to again recording my life because there is so much I know I will not remember….
Gotta run….
