Bananas

1. I made banana bread for the second day in a row! (It's delicious and addictive) 

2. I bought some much needed items (along with some fun ones) at the grocery store after work. 

3. I made my coworker feel loved today.

Pain

1. I worked for 10 hours today (trying to not use PTO for my day off) 

2. Connor made me soft pretzels and cheese

3. I rode my bike to work again today and it's getting easier

Side note: I almost doubled over from the pain in my abdomen a couple of times today and when I got home from work I set up camp on the couch. Only moving when the cramps become too much to handle. I would feel way more justified if I were menstruating, but I am not. 

Hey, Siri

Connor loves using his phone to do the work for him, so he's always asking Siri to set timers and alarms. Today this happened. "I'm going to set the timer and when it goes off, I'll go shower. Hey, Siri, set timer for 12 hours" hahaha we worked in the yard for the past few hours and got our strawberries all planted and happy. But as a result we are sun tired and worn out. It's a good thing too since we want to sleep early then go to the gym on time nice and early in the morning. I'm grateful for Connor since he pushes me to do things I say I want to, but never actually feel I can accomplish. (Plus he did like all the weeding, winner) 

Life is good, I'm hopefully getting more tan by the day and summer is off to a wonderful start! 

1. Our garden 

2. I worked for a few hours this morning and feel slightly less behind than I did before. 

3. We are quickly developing wonderful relationships with our neighbors. 

Love and Kat

1. My visiting teachers rock (so much better than my last ward) 

2. We finally got to visit my poor friend who is inpatient on labor and delivery for the next 2 months (yuck!) 

3. We told our love story today and had a blast

Battle Creek falls

1. I got to go hiking to a beautiful waterfall with a great friend and my cute husband 

2. I took a nap today!!! (It's been months since that has happened) 

3. It only took me an hour to mow the lawn as opposed to the 5 hours it took last week (it hadn't been done in a long time before last week.

Game time

1. We had our first game night at our apartment. 

2. Connors best friends girlfriend is doing well and super dedicated to their relationship even though it's long distance for a bit. 

3. I didn't have to stay at work all day and I tackled some pretty difficult issues while I was there. 

Baby steps

1. I made a patients husband giggle with excitement when I offered them snacks at their appointment.

2. I made it through the work day without eating treats. I was strong. 

3. My white chocolate Twix bars got delivered to my house so I'm excited to go home and eat one. 

Today

1. I get to get my eyebrows done tonight!! 

2. I had a nice long chat with my coworker about my feelings today

3. I get to work more hours on Monday to make up for taking time off next weekend.

Three good things

I went to therapy again today, it's so good, life has been harder than I thought it would be. So my therapist suggested the tried and true method of writing down three good things that happened each day. So for today, 1. I went to the temple 2. I got to eat bacon 3. Connor read Fablehaven to me when we got home. 

I think this will be a good exercise to change my brain chemistry, to help me not feel so misplaced at work and to help in my general thankfulness in life. I am so very blessed, now if my depressed brain could just figure that out we'd be in business! 

Also, the clinic messed up my labs so I had to go in and get them redrawn complete with repeat urine sample today so it'll be a couple more days till we find out if I have celiacs disease. Woot! 

Waiting room

My silly body has been feeling like it's failing me so here I am sitting in the waiting room at the family medicine clinic who was SO great and got me in at a ten minute notice. I'm grateful to work at the hospital. I've gone home early twice this week (something I never do!) and been feeling pretty crummy overall so I'm grateful to be making steps in the right direction. Cross your fingers for me. 

New apartment

We have so much room to move around that I don't even know where to start. Well, a washer and dryer is probably a good place. We'll get there.
