Oh Insomnia, How I Loathe Thee

Not sure why it is, maybe it's anxiety or metabolism, but the older I get the more I am effected by insomnia. A random noise can wake me up at 3am and bam! Up for the day! Most frustrating thing ever!

However, since I am up I might as well blog a little update y'all on my life these days! Not that you're actually following but hey, we're all a little curious sometimes, lol!

Since my last post regarding my education, I have been approved to re-enroll into the nursing program I used to attend. The program has changed deans, curriculum, and instructors but has the same great advisors who motivated me to come back and achieve my goals! So that is pretty exciting! I am starting in January; with the said, I am beginning to get a little nervous. Granted, it has been 4 long years since that whole ordeal and I have matured a ton! But still, when you are traumatized by such a thing it can be hard to attempt it again!

My fears aren't that I won't know what I'm doing. Hell, I have gained even more experience since that point in my life and learned so much more about the field that seems to keep pulling me back in. I tell ya, I tried so hard to do ANYTHING else! However, the health care field evidently needs me and must be what the good Lord put me on this blessed earth to do! But seriously, I feel like as much and as hard as I tried to attempt real estate, business, or anything else, I gravitated right back to nursing.

That being said, my anxiousness purely comes from how badly I want to achieve this goal and put this failure behind me for good! I know once I am back into classes and clinicals, it will all click and be easy, I hope so anyway.

My mom always told me I need to slow down and take it one step at a time. I was always that kid with that grand scheme for my educational plan. It always failed because I was looking too far ahead. Sure, it would be great to start looking into bachelor's programs and thinking about specialities. That's my usual go to. Achieve one small, teeny step, then fly toward the next. Impatience at its best! But this time, my life is completely different. I'm not living with my parents, single, without a care I'm the world, healthy (that I thought) and going to a girls night every night at the country bar. I am a live-in girlfriend, with a responsible lieutenant boyfriend, a sweet 9 year old boy who looks up to us, with responsibilities and a bedtime. I want them to be proud! I want me to be proud.

So I guess I've answered my own insomnia question, I'm thinking and over analyzing... Surprised? Not so much! I'm praying and trusting that this is the final step in this ginormous life lesson I've been on since my diagnosis. But hey, not my plan right? It's God's.

Hope yall have a happy Tuesday! Time for coffee and some breakfast!

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...

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...

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...
