A New Month, a New Challenge

So since 2006 I have been working from home as an on-line digital proofreader. This was a great job. It allowed me to be home with the kids, work when needed and be a parent.
I truly loved the flexibility of this job. Sad to say all good thing must come to an end.
I was really sad to hear the project had been completed.

My search for another position has really been stepped up a notch. I still am taking calls for Cruises, but this really is the slow time of year and not much is happening on that front.
I have set a goal of searching and applying every day for jobs that I feel qualified for.

Exercise
I really have decided to make myself get up and move. I need to make my health a priority. This is day seven and I have walked 2 to 3 miles each day. For most that would be no big feat but for me that is a real effort. It is so much easier with the kids encouraging me and walking right along with me.

Doctors
Well today was my follow up the Dr. after my week stay in the hospital last month for a diverticulitis attack. Sad to say I am having another attack and the light has just now come on as to what has set me off.
For many years Dan has told me I need to eat more cereal so I have more fiber in my diet. Being lactose intolerant eating cereal is no joy. So I bought Oatmeal square. They tasted great and I loved snacking on them. But with in a week I was in the hospital with an attack. Silly me it never dawned on me that it was the cereal. Well last week I tried raisin bran. With in two days my pain was back and I knew I was starting to have a diverticulitis attack. I went today to see the Dr. and I am now again on medicine and I am set up for a colonoscopy next Wednesday. I am not looking forward to the procedure but I need to know what is going on.
