30 something days...

That's how long it has taken me to decide that I will never use social media in the way I used to use it.  

Although I enjoyed the break that I had, I missed out on seeing what everyone was up to.  I missed the good stuff - Weddings, babies, graduations, first steps but I didn't miss having to see an ad every second or third post or seeing things that may have a negative impact on my mood.  It took me a while to get used to not sharing some of the things that I normally would such as yummy meals, gorgeous sunsets, my random thoughts or pics of my doggies but I started to begin to appreciate these moments without worrying about my phone.  It was refreshing.  

I've managed to get a lot of unpacking done.  My garage is looking amazing!  I've taken a few things to the tip but have enjoyed looking through the boxes that have been packed for 4 years as there were a lot of surprises in there!  It's been nice to get pictures up on the walls, candles on the table and start thinking about what other bits and pieces I want out.  We moved from a house half the size of where we are now so things are going to look a bit empty for a while until we fill it up!  I'm looking forward to seeing the results. 

Over the last 2 weeks, my energy levels have depleted.  They are non existent!  I went and got a blood test and the results came back indicating that my iron is incredibly low so I'm having my first ever Iron infusion on Monday! I am not excited as I can't stand needles but I am really looking forward to feeling the results of the boost.  It's been tough feeling like I'm just existing!  My ESR is quite high which makes sense due to the fact I have chronic fatigue syndrome. 

I'm currently in Hospital having TMS.  I've been in for 2 nights but am going home tomorrow (I was only in for 5 treatments).  I have also had an increase in my medication which has resulted in a massive headache but should help with my anxiety levels.  Mentally I feel quite good (knock on wood).  I present as though I am depressed as I am so lethargic and just lay around like a Sloth.

I have started writing a book!  2 books actually. I've also been doing a lot of reading.  I stopped reading for pleasure when I was at Uni as I always felt like my head was so full of information but since I graduated, I've been able to get back into reading.  I bought myself a Kindle 12 months ago and I love it! I think my favourite thing is not being able to see how big a book is so that I'm not deterred by it!  

I've enjoyed catching up with some of my friends over the last month.  I've been back to being out and about for a while now but to see people I haven't seen in ages brings me so much joy.  A few of my Teacher friends and I are catching up during the School Holidays when they aren't as hectic as they are now.  I look forward to the month ahead.

I've been going to Pole once a week and have commenced Personal Training again.  I am having my second session with my PT on Monday.  I'm focussing on anything other than cardio at the moment due to my energy levels so weights it is!  I've also started Yoga again.

That's pretty much me!  When I read back, it makes me wonder how I have time to be on Socials because I really don't!
