Getting back to something that makes you happy is a huge deal. So glad you are doing it and I hope it continues to make you happy.Emily @ablanket2keephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398858102692984237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-80245195273907200562012-07-18T06:41:12.848-07:002012-07-18T06:41:12.848-07:00Please go easy on yourself.

You have so much going on right now and what Mo said is 100% true. Stick to what is reasonable for you. It's fantastic that you went swimming! Things like this will help you so much and I can see how proud of yourself you are.

You have SOOO much on your plate and are really in a lot of ways still in survival mode. I also think you should give the TCM herbs a try if you want. Like you said, you've already tried the Western route and look where that got you. I'm sorry you had such a tough weekend though. Baby steps. Let us know how your PCP appt goes.Shelleyhttp://fromthewaitingroom.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-29728991249912882722012-07-17T08:56:53.189-07:002012-07-17T08:56:53.189-07:00I don't think anyone is shaking their head at ...I don't think anyone is shaking their head at you. You have so much going on right now, you don't need to be stressing yourself out about food. Doing what you need to do to get you through the next couple of weeks is the clear priority. <br /><br />Also, your jam looks beautiful! (I say beautiful and not delicious because I'm a freak of nature who doesn't like jam but loves making jam. I know, it makes no sense.)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101535107377688458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-49374752869617204182012-07-17T03:55:06.798-07:002012-07-17T03:55:06.798-07:00I'm really glad you vented to Mo, because I wa...I'm really glad you vented to Mo, because I was just about to give you an econ 101 lesson about opportunity costs. You seem to be prioritizing everything right now, and then when making everything immediately successful is impossible, you deem yourself a failure. I say, NOT FAIR.<br /><br />What can you let slide for the next two weeks? What is most important to prioritize? You can prepare for your interview and the grant if the deadline is soon, but anything beyond the syllabus and text for your class in the fall can wait. So can mentoring your students. I'm sure they're used to their mentors prioritizing their own lives above their student research experience - they're probably already amazed at how much time and energy you give them. It's okay to back off for a few weeks. It won't harm them in the long run.<br /><br />As for the move - don't plan it until you know it's going to happen. I do this...I plan things that may be...but it's not always a good thing. I don't know about the adoption applications though. Is there a deadline in the next two weeks you need to make?<br /><br />On a happier note - your jam looks delicious! And it sounds like you and Grey are really making time for each other, which is so important. You'll get through these next few weeks, then months, Cristy. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well!sass @ (In)fertility Unexplainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322070279032931788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-63597296453420308322012-07-17T02:36:01.807-07:002012-07-17T02:36:01.807-07:00Mo is exactly right - we can't do everything a...Mo is exactly right - we can't do everything at once. I decided the same thing yesterday morning when I stared at my French press and could literally TASTE the coffee. Small steps. I'll cut back on coffee, but I'm not ready to give it up. You and Grey have sooooo much going on right now. Just making more conscious food choices and finding time to meditate and do some pushups is a huge step. I might not have been completely clear in my original post- but detoxing is anything that makes a positive shift in your body or environment. No matter how small a change, positive change is good. <br /><br />And way to go on the swimming! I would LOVE to be able to swim unfortunately I am a champion sinker. :)Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958605555866496706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-54023387636776043022012-07-16T21:32:15.277-07:002012-07-16T21:32:15.277-07:00Congrats on the swimming!

Not to mention the guts it takes to pack your swim bag, get yourself a locker and literally dive in. Well done! I want to go swimming too! :)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032718306225742021noreply@blogger.com
