Hey!  I am back!  I wasn't going to re-open my blog site, however, a few of my friends urged my to do so.  So, here I am!  I have been working constantly and that is why I had stopped writing as much as I should have.   Get this,  as much as I have been working, my job for some reason did not put my direct deposit in the bank! (as if  I just don't need my money!)  I am trying to not get stressed but we all know how hard that can be when it comes to paying bills, etc.  I called my manager today already and she is going to find out who to talk to.  On a PKU note, I am doing very well as of right now, even if I do say so myself.  I am planning on taking a bloodtest Friday morning before I go running.  I have found that if I set a date for my bloodtest, I am more likely to do better on my food.  I have a dry erase calander on my closet door and I write appointments, work schedule, PKU chat sessions, and bloodtests dates on it.  If I set an exact date on my bloodtest, it is harder to rationalize "cheating" even a little bit.  I have a clinic visit set for March 20th.  I am actually really excited.  I am not sure if I have told you this story, but the people at this clinic took care of me when I was a child until I was 12 years old.  All I ever heard from them was bitching and nagging ( sorry) about being overweight.  I was an extremely overweight child and they felt the need to constantly belittle me about it.  I am sure they had good intentions, but it came out all wrong.  I hated going to clinic and always felt bad about myself.  They were not the only people that made me feel bad about myself, don't get me wrong,  but I believe it could have been handled in a much better way.  Well back to my point... I am not longer very overweight and I eat fairly well and I excersize daily.   I know this may sound like bragging, but I promise, that is NOT how I mean it.  I just actually feel good enough about myself as a person right now that I am excited about going to this clinic.  I have been to clinic in North Carolina and South Carolina since my last visit to the clinic in Alabama.  I loved both of those very much.  my dieticians were fabDABulous!  I will give credit where credit is due... My dietician(now), Alicia,  seems wonderful.  I have never met her, but have talked to her many times.  I am hoping Charles is going to get to go with me but I won't know until the week of the appointment.  He seems like he wants to come.  But it is his work that we won't know about until then.  Well, I will let you go for now, I will write soon!
