No Room For Negativity!!

Namaste lovies!!
Its been a bit of a moody week. I've had a very annoying cold for about two weeks now. The one with the cough, stuffy nose, and kermit voice! Yup! Still got it! It's a bit daunting, as it sometimes keeps me awake at night. The cold is screwing with my ability to think clearly, and sometimes, I have to take medicines so I can breathe better but unfortunately, cloud my focus..
it was brought to my attention today that I sounded "drunk" Lol!
I rarely drink alcoholic beverages.. Must be that cough medicine! Be careful! Read labels.

The downside is I haven't been to the gym since I came down with the cold.. This has also affected my mood. I've also been in pain and I've experienced some hormonal fluctuations.. It feels like I'm ovulating but I can't be because I just finished menses last week. I experienced what felt like ovulation pain 2 days after my period ended. Last night I ended up with a coughing fit which left both ovaries in pain. It felt like something inside me was being pulled and even walking was difficult. I was at work when this happened. Took two Advil and kept going!
Perhaps I'm a martyr.. But I prefer to think I enjoy distraction.

Some exciting news: March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! March 7th to 14th is International Endometriosis Awareness Week! On the first day of March, wear a yellow shirt to show your support.. Or perhaps a yellow ribbon!
Not enough people know about this disease and how it affects those who suffer from it. It's a common illness, affecting anywhere between 5-10% of women during their reproductive years. Maybe with enough support and awareness, we can find a cure!

I'm currently experiencing one of the most frustrating aspects of endometriosis: a suppressed immune system!! Hence why I've been sick with a cold virus for so long.
I hope I get over it soon.

Some other exciting plans for March: I'm going on a trip! Yup! To Manitoba to visit some dear friends of mine. My best friend used to live there but recently moved to Australia. I was very sad about this, but didn't talk about it much.. I'm still determined to go and have fun. I wish I could see my best friend, but that will have to wait for another time. Meanwhile, we will keep in touch!

It's also my birthday on the 8th, but I'm not really excited about it. I tend to get a little depressed around my birthday.. I think because I'm not where I thought I'd be in life. Don't get me wrong, I love my job.. But its not a career.. I also can't live off it.. So I have no assets, and I live in the basement of my mom's house and pay $300 a month for rent. It's all I can afford.
I figured I'd be married by now, maybe even have kids. I'm single, and may never even have kids in the future. I haven't even dated in several months. No time really.
That's ok. I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I'm just saying: this isn't what I had planned. Nobody plans on a recession, or going to the wrong college, or getting sick. It just happens. They're hurdles in life. If shit didn't happen, I wouldn't be as nearly as strong as I am today!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

In any case, March will be an exciting month! Also April, with upcoming surgery. I'm making plans as to which video games I want to play during my recovery! Heeheehee :3

I'm also hoping for warmer weather, and an end to dry skin/eczema! *scratch scratch scratch*

Lol!

Goodnight, readers!
