Still looking for my oasis...
I'm still looking for a calm peaceful place in life to rest my head, but the whirlwind persists. There are times where things die down for a day or two. I get to take a breath and remember how much I miss the quiet peaceful times. It's just enough to keep me going.
I guess that's why they call these points in life "trials and tribulations." If it was easy it would be, "fun times with friends and family," and if it were any harder then it would just be called, "death." (Or insanity; I"m not sure at this point which sounds more welcoming).
I've had some triumphs through all the adversity of late, so I"m going to choose to dwell on these little miracles rather than all the heartache and frustration that life seems too doll out in spades.
First off, Zeus is doing much better, he's like a brand new cat. Aside from the occasional header he takes into... well, just about everything that gets moved around, he's excellent. He still loves going out on the porch, but if you're lazy, and I am, you can always just open the windows. He'll sit in front of them, and there is no difference for him.
My health is much improved too. Sugar levels are good, for the most part. I still have insane sugar cravings, and raid the fridge pantry, and whatever other place I think my wife might be hiding something sugary from me. Minus those little setbacks though, I"m under control, and still losing weight.
My mouth pain for the moment is under control as well. About two months after my wisdom tooth was removed and the swelling finally subsiding, I noticed that there were some spots in the scar tissue that still really hurt. Naturally, I did what any normal person would do... I poked at it. The scar tissue split open again and revealed two large jagged pieces of tooth the dentist somehow overlooked. So I pulled then out. The process wasn't really that simple, but I"ll spare you the details. Long story not so long, I"m feeling much better now.
I'm going to try, to write in my blog here, and on my Facebook fanpage at least once a week again. To all those that supported, encouraged, and kept promoting my sites during my absence; thank you so very much! I truly appreciate it, and love you all.
