So many delays

I keep promising myself I'll write more, and never seem to have the time.  It's all about priorities, isn't it?
Turns out my thyroid has been causing issues for some time.  I was put on meds, they didn't do much so last month the dosage was doubled.  The specialist really doesn't want to "kill" my thyroid as that is permanent, and he's hesitant about doing anything permanent if we can treat it.  Now I'm on a double dose of this medication, and the side effects are....noticable.

I'm always cold now.  Weird - for someone who was always warm - overheated most of the time - now I have to take extra clothes.  Jon and I went shooting a month ago, and while it normally would have been an amazing day, weather-wise, I froze.  Toque, mittens, two hoodies, and about two hours for my toes to warm out.  He was wearing a light hoodie - which is what my normal would have been.  If this is the case, at least I can handle it and prepare - not exactly a life-changing side effect.

One life changing side effect, however, is that I'm sleeping.  Oh wow am I sleeping!  Most nights I lay down and boom - out till the alarm goes off.  It's a wonderful feeling.  The flip side is that I'm still somewhat fatigued at night, just not as bad as before.

I go back on the 24th to see what the double dose has been able to accomplish and we go from there.  Meanwhile, so many other things happening!

New job - doing inventory and reception at the H/O of the fitness club I worked for.  I wasn't sure about slinging boxes around every day, but it's working out wonderfully.  I feel good being out from behind a desk 8-10 hours a day.  The pay is not nearly what I'm used to, but I'm happy, have a great boss, the energy in the working environment is overall positive, the people are great, and my membership to the club is free with half price training.  Ah yes, the training - have a new trainer, a young Irish lad named Declan.  He has changed up most of what I'm doing and I can feel the difference.  Previously, and especially after working with a trainer, after my workout I wanted to go home and nap.  After his sessions I feel energized, and I go back to work feeling fantastic.  Even the second day (which is usually the "I can't move my legs" type of day) I feel great - I know I worked out, but I'm still very mobile and feel good. 

Ottawa Major was a couple of weeks ago - one lesson learned is for another post, maybe next week.

Brother and Sis-in-law and neice got two kittens.  The babies lost their mum - they figure to a coyote.  They were only about four weeks old, and had to be bottle fed every few hours for the first bit - the two of them could sit side by side on a 6x6 tile.  SOOOOO tiny!  I haven't met them yet - hopefully Jon and I can make a trip out there and see them before they are full grown.  The adult cat is unimpressed by them, but hasn't beaten them up, so that ended up working out well.

There's alot to say, and hopefully I'll be able to post a few more entries with more information, then (again) try to keep it up.
