It's been an up and down week

There's been some good things and bad things. Actually one of the things was just a bit disappointing. I'll just get the bad thing and the disappointing thing out of the way first. The bad thing was that I woke up this morning with really bad endometrial cramps. Thankfully they eased off as the day went on. The disappointing thing is that I am now seeing the consultant in six months time rather than twelve months. I received a letter from the consultant saying, amongst other things, that she thinks I'm taking too much thyroxine and need to lower the dosage. So maybe that's why I'm seeing her again six month's time? I don't have to have an MRI scan for another twelve months, though, so that's good. Also, with this new dose of thyroxine is 150mg daily, rather than 150/175mg alternating, which is much easier for my morning brain! On to the nice things! Starting with the charity shop I'm working in now. The manager there is lovely, and it turns out that we have a couple of mutual friends! It was a nice, laidback atmosphere because it was just me and the manager working upstairs and another person downstairs. The other nice thing is that I finally arranged a voice coaching session! It's at a place my friend used to go to. I'd rather go somewhere a friend went rather than having to start from scratch looking for a new voice coach. Also this particular place teaches a technique called IVA and can help someone become certified in this technique, so I might look into that. That's a long-term goal, anyway. Short-term, I should sort out my own voice and get my confidence back up a bit! Other good things have been just having nice bonding times with friends. So, really the good has outweighed the bad this week, it's just that the disappointing news was a bit of a kick in the face. However, I am coming to terms with it and honestly, six months is still a long way away! I don't have to think about it just yet. Plenty of adventures to be having, and goals to be reaching, in that time!
