My goodness, it has been a while since I have journaled here. That is 99% due to my job and the rather intense project that I was on for a good while. However, our work was worth it and not only was the FDA impressed with our company and how prepared and transparent we were, they expressed that our presentation should be the "model" for all pharma companies when they go to advisory committee meetings. How is that for a nice warm fuzzy? However, said work was exhausting, mentally draining, kept me away from my family, made it hard to get my homework done, and even caused me a bit of personal heartache. But it is done and hopefully it will result in adolescents with serious mental illness, namely bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, to have increased treatment options which they desperately need.
Back home now and trying to be in the groove, but we are moving soon...so that makes "normal" a bit tricky. D has been fantastic and been holding down the homestead and packing whilst I have been toiling at work. The movers arrive on July 2, so I have exactly 2 weeks to get everything packed and ready to go. This includes my office at work...uggghhh. But, this means that I will be working from home from that point forward as our new place is 2 hours from my office. And that, my friends, is a fantastic and beautiful thing. I have calculated that I will gain at a minimum, 2.5 hours back of my life EACH DAY!!!! This will make a radical difference in my days, hopefully making me a lot less rushed and stressed. My office is literally one door away from my bedroom and my coworkers won't care how my hair or outfit look! I will likely have more time to write my thoughts here for sure:)
This morning, we will head down our children's hospital because Meesta has outpatient eye surgery. While I know he will be fine in my cognitive brain, my emotional brain is rather worried about them putting him under, the negative effects of them "slipping" and nicking his tear duct or eye, you get it, all the typical parental worries. He is doing well with his nerves, if only I can hold mine together and not make him nervous.
All for now....reminding myself that life is this good...

My musings and ramblings about life: married to my best friend (who is currently in the process of becoming a Navy chaplain and is a Methodist pastor), mom of 3 adorable children who also happen to have been adopted internationally, employee in the corporate environment, and PhD student in my spare time, constantly striving to lose some weight and retain my sanity! Never a dull moment!

- I am happy. Sometimes I get caught up in the business of life and this blog is my attempt to remind myself of all the wonderful blessings I have in my life and to try to capture them as my memory appears to be much too fleeting...

Didn't see this until today. Hope Meesta's surgery went well. Praying for his recovery.
Great news on the awesome feedback at work (if you have to work THAT hard, you should get some serious positive feedback!!) and that you won't have a commute pretty soon! That will be awesome.
