The State of Me
It's only been a little over a week, but I've already noticed a huge change in myself since I left my job.
I feel so much better. Those awful stomach cramps I used to have - feeling like someone was sucker punching me in the gut - they're gone. I haven't had any since I left. I had those types of pains several times a week before.
Haven't had a headache since I left.
Noticed that I haven't been clenching my jaw nearly as much as I was. That probably contributed to the headaches I had. I was always tense.
My back/shoulder/neck pain is much improved. I've always had chronic problems, and they're still there, but not to the extent that they were before. I had neck and shoulder pain so severe last summer (and once after that) that the doctor had to put me on Vicodin. I'm sure a lot of that had to do with sitting at a desk all day.
I sleep so much better. I have no trouble falling asleep. I don't wake up in the middle of the night (unless Reece wakes me up to go out). I sleep soundly and deeply. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Lance isn't here to keep me awake with his snoring.
My Mom also told me that I sound so much more upbeat now when we talk on the phone. She noticed that change almost immediately. I think Kathy said something to the same effect as well.
As for Reece - she actually eats all her food now. She had very odd eating habits before and most days she didn't eat all of her food. She now gobbles up 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups in the evening without any problems whatsoever. I think she likes having Mommy home with her all the time.
