Green Tea and Kale

Okay, so Maybe Not a Ton of Kale, 

...but I guess I've subconsciously decided to attempt being healthy again. I've developed an addiction to Lipton Diet Green Tea (yes, it HAS to be diet) and cut out pretty much all of my energy drinks. To be honest, besides the fact they're terrible for you, I think it was messing with my meds. And oddly enough, making me less focused.

I knew I'd feel better but I didn't know I'd feel THIS good. And then... I've downloaded two meditation apps. I try to meditate daily but still don't find myself getting much out of it. So, I decided to do something different. Not gonna lie, those apps are bomb. One has more free content than the other but I'll still keep both.

Give me a week-- I'll be a hippie.

Totally kidding. But I am excited that healthier choices have been coming easily to me. I'm excited about them because I feel a bit better and have been insanely productive.

OH! And... I bought Morning Star Veggie Patties. I had a hard time finding them because I don't shop at that Super 1 too often (and I generally don't buy veggie patties.) This is exciting because its something out of the ordinary for me and can be a quick and easy meal.

Instead of me picking up my beloved french fries on my way home from work. It's also a lot cheaper, yay me!

In Other News

Well, no news is good news, right? It seems like everything is always crazy busy and I play catch up more than I'd like. Going to the camp for Memorial Day weekend provided me with exactly what I needed.

I was able to enjoy my family (all but my brother,) fish, be on the water, and actually get a full 8 hours of sleep. Of course, I couldn't go ALL weekend without some type of work, so one article did get done.

The last night I was there, right before I went to bed, I checked this site. I was mainly looking to see if there were any new comments. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was one. On my very first post. 

He basically told me that he had been the one to order several of the posts I didn't get paid for. We chatted for a bit in Hangouts and he sent me everything I needed to report the guy. I emailed the site, sent a million screenshots along with his username, and they told me he had been banned. 

I still didn't get paid for it, and its highly unlikely I ever will, but I did get a small sense of satisfaction. 

The Last Few Notes

There are still so many great things happening in my life. It always amazes me and keeps me in an attitude of gratitude every time something crosses my mind. I get the chance to rebuild things with my sister, get to know my future brother-in-law (I hope) and really feel like I add value to the world around me.

It is amazing to be in a place where I'm unashamed of who I am, what I believe, or how I feel. To get to look forward to what lies ahead and what plot twists are in store. I don't think I've ever experienced this level of satisfaction in my life and I hope that you get to do the same. 

I'm not good at wrapping these things up... so, until next time.
