Blew My Own Dang Mind!

Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed!
After two long weeks on studying, I officially passed my certification exam to become a registered medical assistant. This is the what I had to do before I could be hired on with the hospital system here. I cannot wait to get start with them! It is only up from here!! It was nice and refreshing to study for this exam. As odd as that seems, I love the medical field and I missed learning about new information that I haven't dealt with such as the financial aspect of medical offices, coding, and administrative policies. I couldn't help but wonder why they didn't have us study any of this in nursing school. Granted, most nurses are training for the hospital environment, I think it would help and give a little insight into insurance, medicare and other things that would help us answer patient questions. I am ready to get back to work in the medical field, not looking forward to the early mornings but I will get used to it again.
It has been a super lonely weekend, well actually 5 days; Brad left Thursday morning dark and early. I finally return to work tomorrow morning and I am looking forward to being around my peeps again. As most, if not all, of you know, Orlando was struck with a terrorist attack on Sunday morning. Not sure how well known it is, but my older brother is gay. He came out about 5 years ago, it was different but my family got through it and we are stronger because of it. It is tragic but I am blessed to only know of the victims. Another devastation that isn't as great as a terrorist attack was the shooting of one of Voice semifinalist. After her show, Christina Grimmie was signing autographs and a man walked up and shot her both in the head and the stomach. After being rushed to the hospital, she passed away shortly thereafter. I bring all this sadness up to point out how preventable this entire weekend bloodbath could have been. There is not a reason that any of it had to happen.

I am not big into politics, I believe what I believe strongly and with personal reasoning. I do not have to defend my person decisions, don't intend to, but I do dislike listening to those requiring other to justify their beliefs. Let your neighbor be! Evil exists in this world, just as love and equally do. Unfortunately, it is unavoidable. As angry as I get trying to understand why things happen, I can't and won't ever. I can only trust God that He has our country in mind and has a plan for it. Sad as it may be, tomorrow will come and people will continue on with their routines. This tragedy will change lives but the world will continue on. I just pray when we get lost in our hustle and bustle, we keep in mind that life is short and tomorrow is never a guarantee. We need to learn from each incident and grow together but unfortunately, history is repeating itself.

I hope everyone has a great week full of productivity and positivity! This week I'll be posting about hair tips for breakage, makeup tricks and today's manicure!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Tired AF

Evidently if you were born between 1981 & 1996, you're a millennial so I figured I would used the "AF" instead of swearing. Do you ever feel like you're just tired of just about everything? Well, that is me the past couple weeks! Just tired of being exhausted with the two consecutive low readings this week between 1 and 4am. Tired of stressing about finances, future & the other F word. Just wanting and needing a break before hitting the ceiling?? Well, welcome to my world this MONTH! Last week, I had one of those good cries. One of those turn the music up, run the bath, wine induced, good Lord save me cries. Where you feel sorry for yourself, want to change everything and move out of the country to your own island moments. This is something most women do on a random basis and, to be honest, it is extremely healthy. I mentioned the "Pancreas Pals" podcast last post and it has truly helped me so much mentally. https://pancreaspals.com/catego...

Lil' Tid Bits

Happy FriYay!!    All week I was trying to think of the best ways to show different tutorials. I toyed with the idea of a YouTube channel, I actually have one video currently posted that I need to properly edit. But for the most part, I truly believe that I am currently enjoying just photos so you'll have to be patient until my skills get a bit of fine tuning!  We tend to have "Crest Kid" smiles! I have my Beau home until Monday and then our insanity starts again. Being that this is still semi-new in our household, I still struggle with being alone a majority of the time. I believe that while you're alone, you're forced to face your own demons that normally aren't on the surface. Being busy has been the easiest way for me to avoid dealing with some personal issues. But, as it was evidently bound to, my mind finally place all these things in my focus and I was forced to face them. I don't know if this is just me, but independence has always had s...
