Write, right?

This year for mother's day, I received so many presents. Delilah's school did a very cute presentation (yes, I teared up) and I got her hand prints and a flower. Bob gave me a $25 barnes and noble gift card and a new journal. I'm so happy he got me the journal. I've had several notebooks through out the years and never really used them for what I intend to. There's always another list to be made or directions to write down or recipes to copy.

So in the last week I've written twice. Nothing of substantial story material, but I'm getting there. Sometimes there's nothing like the feel of a new journal and pen.

I've also been quite productive on my pinterest boards, haha. I rearranged our room last night and can't wait to start doing the pinterest crafts to make it more homey. Sometimes you just need a change!

Daily adventures of not having a gall bladder

Last I wrote, I was doing the whole30 challenge. I completed it! I felt good about what I did, but really didn't feel any awesome effects from it. And I didn't lose that much weight, however a few of my friends (who did the challenge) think it has something to do with my gall bladder. Back in January I had a major malfunction, which was apparently my first ever gall bladder attack. And after 3 months of pain and anguish, they finally yanked that sucker out.

I should mention, part of the pain and anguish was my own doing. I really didn't want to get my gall bladder taken out if I didn't need it to be done. So after the scan showing my little gb was only functioning at 2%, it was decided that I needed it out.

However, I'd like to know WHY it went bad. The doctor was kind of a jerk about the whole thing. I explained to him that I'd been low fat for quite some time, and it puzzled me that my gall bladder had gone "bad". He really didn't care.

But I do. I want to know why I am not losing weight. I want to know why it went bad. You only have one body (okay, most people only have one body. If you believe in reincarnation, disregard) and I want to know why it decided to give up on a vital organ.

I am going to start looking into this more. In between watching Sailor Moon videos on youtube, anyway.

So far I haven't really eaten anything other than soup, but I'm not yet a week post op and frankly, I don't really want the side effects I've been warned about.
