Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a great time ringing in the new year. We usually stay awake to see the ball drop on TV and around the world but not this time. Nick has to work this New Years day so we hit the sack early.
We went to church yesterday morning. Me and Nick go to two separate churches, but I decided to go with him to his this time. It was sorta nice sitting in a more quiet setting without the bands and loud music (which I do love by the way) that cause a sensory overload I have been getting in my bad ear. This can easily trigger a vertigo attack for me.
We did go out for a nice steak dinner before heading back home for the night. We ran into a couple friends we knew while we were there and did some catching up on our lives.
I hope this year will be a good one but I feel like it’s going to be wild ride with it being election year, leap year and year of the Olympics. I feel like a lot of things are going to happen. So buckle up.
I do not make resolutions but I do try to set goals. I accomplish most of them.
This year I plan to get healthier. The past few months have been hard on me going through more than usual effects of Meniere's Disease. I am currently loaded up on Steroids to see if they help. So far they seem to be helping. I will start weening off of them in two days. I have been on Prednisone for 2 weeks now with one more week to go. Since they seem to be working, I will be getting steroid shots directly through my eardrum into my inner ear 3 times in a series of 3 weeks. This will not have any side effects and will only help my inner ear issues. He just did not want to go this rout unit we knew if it will work or not. I can and will continue to have issues but hopefully no more vertigo attacks out of nowhere!
I am beginning to get “moon face” . This is weight swelling in my face but will go away once I’m off of steroids. I can’t wait. However, I am full of energy and I can’t stop eating! I have gained 10 lbs in two weeks! I need a detox!
Here are a few of my plans for the new year.
- Talk and walk with God more.
- Eat healthier and get this steroid weight gain off.
- Purchase a lap top with my Christmas money.
- Start walking on a regular basis again.
- Do some in home workouts to keep toned.
- Save money for the new Ford Bronco I want.
- Maybe a new tattoo.
- Maybe start a new blog on a new platform (while keeping this one).
- Start a new skin care routine.
- Vote
- Spend more time relaxing and enjoying life.
- Stay away from anything or any person that brings negative vibes.
We only have a little while left on this earth. We need to enjoy and live life abundantly (John 10:10).
Do you set any new year goals?
Enjoyed the read. Interesting also your list of goals. No we do not do goals nor resolutions as a rule, but this time I HOPE TO be able to accept life and try to enjoy the ride and realize I cannot fix EVERYTHING. I also hope I can learn NOT TO WORRY! My sister used to say, I never worry, but I get very concerned at times. Methinks that is a spin for worry, but I am not sure.
ReplyDeleteAs always thanks for letting us stop by for a visit.
Love and hug Brother Nick for us....
We never do anything for New Years Eve, just a regular Sunday for us.
ReplyDeleteDon't really have goals for the year, just take each day as it comes and be thankful for it.
I read my Bible through each year and will do that again.
Happy New Year!
I have all the same goals! Except the tattoo …not for me. Have a happy, healthy 2024 and thank you for your blog. Wishing you the best in your health challenges…xo, V.
ReplyDeleteHaving trouble leaving comments on blogger, so I am going with the reply instead.
DeleteYour goals are similar to mine...even considering a tattoo!
