May

I feel like I am living in slow motion. Things are going at a very slow pace for me and I can't find the fast forward button. 

It is difficult to believe that half the year is almost gone and we are on the 6th month of the year. I don't have much to put in this summary besides trying to lift off and change the direction of the second half of the year. 

In May, I read a few books in audio format. I found myself reading more than I had planned but they were all things I wanted to read. I finished about 4 books...out of which 2 were fiction. I also reread Scott Adam's book - "How to fail at everything and still win big". I did that in order to work on some writing assignments but in the process realized that I hadn't taken action on a lot of the things I got from the book. I am trying to change that. 

Health-wise, things are pretty consistent. I am where I was a month ago but I am not happy with that. The blood work I did shows me that I haven't made any progress despite some of the extreme measures I took to repair my body. I am having second thoughts about the effectiveness of some of the things I am doing. The part I am frustrated about is how inconsistent my doctors are. Some have indicated that my issues may have been a side effect of the vaccine. Which really does nothing for me in terms of next steps. It is hard to control or plan for something that doesn't have a clear diagnosis. I have always thought I was overmedicated - but I don't know for sure. 


Writing - This is one area that I am relatively consistent. Still writing daily and have joined #TeamStreak. I am happy to get a chance to put my thoughts and ideas down. The writing class I signed up for is harder than I expected and I am learning a lot. The main lesson I learnt is that editing is everything. In order for me to write a humorous piece, I have to work on my editing skills. But I now know that it is possible. 


In most other areas of my life - things are on pause. 
Let's see what June will bring along.  
If you ever want to do a deep dive on lab results, let me know. I've got my blood draw today, and of course, I'll be writing about my results and next steps. I'm glad to see you have been consistent with writing. #Teamstreak
