a little piece to the puzzle


Sisters.
I love that as we get older.... we grow closer together.
We have a very unique dynamic...
and I love it.



A little update...
I've been spending more time focusing on the important things in my life...
which means less computer/internet time. 
It's been really wonderful.

Last week we get our gym membership
went shopping for some workout clothes
I finally found a lamp I liked for my nightstand!! {a bonus - it was on clearance}
I've been reading my book on hypothyroidism 
We've spent time with family
spent time together
we've cooked some
Monday I made it to the gym in the morning, work and then came home feeling like the flu had hit me 
I attended a trade show for work up at the sandy expo center yesterday.
I slept in yesterday and today
Fighting a mean sore throat...
I had today off and spent it cleaning the house and resting

Updates on my health:
My doctor called with my test results today
We finally know why I've been feeling extremely fatigued
So on top of the normal fatigue from being hypothyroid... I also have mono. 
She said she's surprised I don't have a sore throat and feel feverish/flu-ish...
I laughed... and said guessed what showed up this week.
She recommends lots and lots of rest, plenty of fluids and eating extra healthy.
Hopefully once I kick the mono... I'll start feeling better with my thyroid as well.
I've been on synthroid and it has helped bring my TSH levels towards the normal range {2.98}
but I asked to be switched to Amour which is a more 'natural' thyroid medicine that's animal {pig} based.
I hope to see improvements in the next few months.

I can't believe how much you and faith look alike! In this picture I would totally think you are twins!

Sorry you have mono girl! I hope you feel better soon. Also very random, but I am watching Dr. Oz and they are talking about Celiac Disease and a lot of the stuff they are talking about sounds like some of the issues you have been having (fatigue and thyroid issues). If you don't start feeling better after the mono is gone you should ask your doc about it.
