Memories

Isn’t it sad that memories fade away? Yeah, other times it’s a great thing to have memories fade. I never thought I would forget even the smallest of memories pertaining to certain people in my life. I have kept a journal for years and was one time teased by someone (I can’t remember who it was…Shoot, another memory faded), said I would never forget anything because I write it all down. It’s true, but I look back sometimes and read something to be reminded of an event and get things out of my writing that I never saw before. Also, I write significantly less in my journal these days. Sometimes a month passes without an entry. I am getting close to starting a new book (Journal) though and I’m always excited about that. It’s an opportunity to reintroduce myself to my potential reader someday whether it is a descendent of me or not.

Upcoming shows

No, I’m not preggers. Not yet. It will happen…someday. Whatever. After seeing a fertility specialist I’m now taking a diabetes medication. No, I do not have diabetes, but this medication is supposed to help women with PCOS ovulate. He thinks I have PCOS, so I’m going to play along with it. I’m taking this month off of the Clomid. I hope this added medication will help me to ovulate every month and ultimately end up in a healthy pregnancy and baby. That is the ultimate goal. The medication is making my tummy pretty upset about the whole thing.

In the meantime my focus how now shifted to weight loss. Yeah, I’m going for it at the gym and adding jogging to my fitness routine. It has really helped to jumpstart my weight loss goals. That makes me pretty pleased. At least I can see results for my efforts. I cannot control the timeline for pregnancy, but I sure can work on my fitness. That is something I do have control of. Now, I have never been a fan of jogging. In fact, my friend Deesha and I joined the track team in high school only to quit soon after. We did attend one track meet and I think our event was the triple jump. At a practice soon after we took a warm up jog around the track and ran right off the field to drop the class while we laughed. My jogging inspiration comes after a visit from a friend in CA whom took up jogging and has lost some weight. She looks great. Anyway, I’m adding a minute a week to my jogging until I reach a mile and after that I don’t think I’ll press it. I am not interested in running 5K races or anything. I just want to drop those pesky extra pounds.

I’m excited because this summer I’m going to a few concerts. I’m going to Ozzfest with my husband and I was excited until I discovered that I read last year’s line up instead of this year’s. (I really want to see Avenge Sevenfold). Oh well, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it anyway…maybe I’ll bring a book. I wasn’t super excited about going to The Warped Tour this year and I’ve skipped a few years, but this year I’m going to go because I’ve discovered that I enjoy The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Upon further study of the line up I have a handful of other bands I’m interested in checking out. It’s no Coachella, but it will entertain I’m sure. I really want to get to CA for Coachella next year.
