Gratitude on the go! 4-11-15

Today I'm just gonna share some things I've been grateful for this week:
-I saw a nutritionist to help me try to figure out my UC. She was very positive and gave me a lot of good tools to work with. She said at one point its her goal to help me try to get rid of what I'm going through completely. That would be amazing. I hope that we can figure that out together. In the meantime, I'm on an anti-inflammatory diet. Lots and lots of fruits and veggies, chia seeds, turmeric, and I have to order some supplements too. I need to get my body back to a neutral place. I'm still having good days and bad days at the moment. I think this might be a thing for me for now. Number 10, 11, and 12 definitely apply. I really am so grateful when I have good days. Monday and Wednesday were solid good days. Most of today was as well. The evening got a bit rough. When I have bad days, or bad hours in a day, I really try hard to stay positive. There are moments where I find myself slipping into a pity party. A, "why me?!" mentality. I get upset. I don't really drink anymore, I don't do drugs, and I gave up a lot of foods in the past to try to avoid this very thing that's happening to me. So I think it's unfair. Then again, maybe giving up all those foods in the past were helping me now. I was able to do it relatively easily, so now it shouldn't be a problem either right? It's a bit of a back and forth. One minute at a time. On the plus side, I'm really gonna get to know my body well.
-Despite having a hard day on Tuesday, I went on a date! And I'm really glad I did. He was very kind, asked lots of questions, shared lots about himself, and (added bonus!) paid for dinner. That was really sweet of him. We have another date planned for next Wednesday. I think we're gonna go to the Walker. I'm looking forward to it. When he texts me, I can't help but smile. :)

-This hilarious list
-The Wedge. Chances are I'm gonna be getting a membership super soon. I also need to learn and practice making my meals for the week and buying more groceries. 
-I booked a national VO for Subway this week. Recored over 64 tags for spots across the nation. And in Canada! I'm international baby! Woo Hoo!
-Voice over's in general.
-Doing a musical VO for Augsburg. It's challenging for sure, but the music is great and it's so much fun to be able to just belt out some notes in a recording studio. #nerd. #idontcare. #winning
-laugher. Gift of the gods. Seriously it always heals.

Today I am grateful for:
-having some alone time. Working on Sunday's at the museum are great. I don't have to talk to anyone, I can listen to music, and take care of business at my own time. It's pretty great.
-Roomie inviting me over for Easter Dinner. It was super tasty and really relaxing. We just ate food, watched some dumb tv, and played some games. Winning.
-laughter. Always always laughter.

This weekend has been tough for me physically. I was doing well all week and then bam! There are many challenging side effects that comes with UC. I'm working on trying to make them better and hopefully the nutritionist that I'm seeing on Tuesday will help me figure it out even more. I'm so grateful for the good days that I have. On the bad days it's hard sometimes not to wallow in and think, "why me?" However, gratitude pulls me out of the dump. One minute at time. I got this.
