It's about day four and I'm itching like CRAZY!
The two roses symbolize Jay and I. As we have children (God-willing?) I might add more down the back. We shall see. I was SO excited to be able to add to my ink collection. :)
One of my friends asked if it hurt. Nooooo, it feels like cashmere! HA. Realistically though, mostly it just feels comparable to either a cat scratch or someone scratching you with their nail. Or have you ever ripped the skin on your knuckle off? It feels like that. Some spots it feels exactly like a bee sting, but for the most part ink doesn't hurt. (And if it did, I certainly would not be getting more!)

I've been losing track of everything these days - my food, my weight; all of my focus has been going into work and learning a new routine there. I need to be on here more so I can take accountability a little better! I'll try to work on that.
Emotionally I have been all over the place lately. It's coming up on that time of year where I can't keep my lows up even when I'm doing everything I can. I contemplate returning to chemical assistance, and then back off, and then think about it again. I did finally resort to making a phone call to one of my MDs to see if we could get me on something low-key for a couple months. This time of year is really hard for me. We'll see how that appointment goes. I know I need something; I've backtracked a little in my progress. That's why they call it a journey though, I suppose. There's ups AND downs. My downs are just a little more intense than others' and usually involve bandages at the end of the day. Sigh.
I visited my family for a day last week; that was fun. My favorite part is always the singing. :)
Jobu-kitty and Sham (the pup) are doing well. Sham has something up with her toe nails where they are constantly growing like crazy. We'll see what's up with that this Saturday with her vet.
I'm excited for this summer! I'm thinking about buying a bicycle. That would be SO much fun. I can't wait! I also want to go paddleboarding lots this summer. :)
WELL, I have an early morning meeting that I better be semi-rested for, so I'll go for now.
I'll write to you more later on!
Emily
