I really ought to have some sort of topical post up due to Valentine’s Day and the season of romance and whatnot but to be perfectly honest, TheWife has been more than a little busy lately. My recent miscarriage has put a toll on my physically, and combined with the physical that followed to determine the possible cause of said miscarriage… well, life has been… stressful. I’m not one of those “oh noes, poor pitiful me” folks, so I don’t talk a lot about what’s going on in the real world, but here’s a quick breakdown so you all know why there’ve been a lot of reposts lately.
I had the miscarriage and followed it up with a doctor’s appointment to try and figure out why the second pregnancy in a row didn’t hold. They discovered that I’m prediabetic and I apparently am on the verge of a thyroid breakdown. Fun fun. This sounds far more dramatic than it actually is (though it is a little bit of an important deal right now, especially if I want to get pregnant and stay pregnant).
SO all the time that I HAD spent on this site is now spent walking and working out in the evenings as well as reading books on the subject and learning to adapt and make these life changes for better health. No more restaurants, fast food, or prepackaged meals for now either – I have to learn to cook GOOD FOOD without adding sugar or fat, and using wheat instead of white. Since Melanie HATES wheat with a passion, this means I have to cook two meals instead of one. More time eaten away. I’m learning to cope, naturally, but this means that the time I USED to spend online is significantly cut down.
As you can probably tell, I make a point of stopping by the site every day just to check in, but the post dropped from two or three a day to one every two days. I’m going to try and maintain this every two or three days posting schedule and simply write long posts that are highly meaningful to make up for the lack of posting, but there may be a lot of links interspersed in there within the next few months. Bear with me, once I’ve got all the changes down to habits rather than activities I actively have to think about then we’ll go back to a more robust update schedule.
In the meantime, enjoy these interesting pics and have a fabulous and fun V-Day!
Glad you’re still hanging in there.
