Visiting Family

Well, I’ve been a little quiet lately as I have been dealing with some big things (both good and bad) and doing more internal processing than usual.  But I’m leaving tomorrow for Montana to spend 4 fabulous days with my sister, her husband and their new baby. My sister hasn’t quite entered this century and does not have internet access – so I figured I should update you all before I leave.

 

I’m in a waiting game to see if I will be employed come September. The project I’ve been working on is coming to a close and there isn’t anything in my department that I can move to. I interviewed with the Pulmonary department last week, to work with the Cystic Fibrosis research team, and should know something in the next 5 days or so. Waiting like this is incredibly stressful. Which causes my mental and physical health to suffer to some degree.

 

We still haven’t totally gotten my anxiety under control. I’m using a PRN medication to prevent the panic attacks when I feel them coming on as well as to treat them once they’ve started. But its certainly not a great long-term solution for me. And physically… well, thats a story for another time.

 

As far as what I’ve been up to – the most notable thing would be participating in a worship service at the Denver Rescue Mission this last Sunday. I’ve done it a handful of times but had not felt as moved or as connected as I did this time. As it turns out I love to sing, I love to worship my God, and I love to be part of other people doing the same.

 

So on that note – I can’t wait to meet my nephew and the excitement is preventing me from writing any more at this moment. I have a couple hours worth of work to do and then a lot of packing and prep work at home. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I’ll post pictures when I return!

 

Adieu!
