Swagger Back

Don’t call it a comeback. But despite my best efforts, I’m beginning to feel more and more like Heather.

It’s only Wednesday, but it’s been a good week. As in like every day this week has been good and that is important and unusual these days. Some things that have been in limbo at work are starting to fall into place. I have a couple of things coming up in life that are giving me something to look forward to. My diet has continued and I am still losing weight. I went on a couple of runs this weekend and they felt good. I am continuing to wake up and work out in the mornings. We’ve had a couple of good weekends in a row, we’ve made some new friends and actually done what people always say they will do and hung out with them. Chase has gone over a month without an accident. We are so close to spring that I can almost taste it. I am continuing to have more good days than bad days.

Could something happen tomorrow that sends me back down a spiral? A new medical bill arrives, another pregnancy announcement that I wasn’t expecting, a bad day at work? Sure, but three days in a row is better than it’s been. I am feeling healthy, happy and (dare I say it?) hopeful again. Maybe it’ll be short lived, but damn, I’ll take it for now. One day at a time.
