Much better day today. Have all the windows open (even though it's a bit on the nippy side), and a wonderful candle going, while eating my own Scooby Snacks my boyfriend gave me! (see below).

Thanks @BeyondtheRainbow and @Blue_Bird for the congratulations on the new job. It's just part-time, and my candle shop job is part-time too - don't want to push myself or work too much because of fear of losing my disability. I can probably handle it being out of the hospital for almost two years, but still, I am not a 100% yet.

Feeling really good today. Got all dressed up and going out tonight, nothing too fancy, but actually doing something fun with some friends. Starting to accept myself more, and not feeling as bad about my weight as I used to be months ago. The thyroid medicine seems to FINALLY be working, I take another blood test next month to see if there will be another increase, she has increased it 5 times so far; she said it had to be gradual even though I am very impatient.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. I went out today in a dress and blazer and froze my butt off; I love weather like this, but I gotta wake up and realize it's not summer anymore, lol. I keep getting flashbacks of the days I used to walk around NYC in shorts in November - lol, (I was also much younger too).

Gonna drop a selfie, only cause I am starting to feel confident again. Also booked my trip to California to be with my boyfriend for his birthday. Good days are finally here again.
