Hey everyone! I am going to try and do some periodic updates.
Moved into my new place 2 weeks ago. Been trying to get the small stuff out of the old place and clean it up for the last little while. I finished it all yesterday and so officially I am completely out of that place and done. It feels cathartic and I am enjoying my new place. It's all set up now, with a few things here and there still left that will take some time. Kids are happy and have adjusted well to the new place, which was my biggest goal. Now charting a new path and keep moving forward.
I went out last weekend to a meet up group and it was kinda fun. Putting myself out there and trying to make social connections. I will try out some other groups as well and slowly start filling up my schedule. I am still sidelined with my injury and so it will be a while before I can go back climbing. However, doc okayed me to start doing upper body workouts and so that's starting up again this week. I am excited about that.
Also, eased into my health goals as well recently. I am taking a relaxed approach and making good decisions about my food choices. I also started daily intermittent fasting last week and it's been awesome. Today is the first day where I feel my energy levels are low, but I might also be coming down with a cold. So health goals are slowly coming back on track and I am really happy with where I am and trying to be slightly better the next day.
Things with W are pretty status quo still. It's her big weekend this week - graduation ceremony from her program she finished earlier this year. Her family is here and I guess they're doing a big bash. I guess this is the first big thing where I won't be there. I honestly have no feelings either way for it. I don't feel like I am left out, particularly when I remember that this was her decision to just set me aside and out of her life. All the best to her, but I have no desire to be part of her life.
My work performance evaluation went really well. My boss acknowledge that they were not paying me according to my actual status and responsibility on the team. He and the HR rep are going to make it their top priority in 2019 to rectify that and get around red tape to fast track my title and pay promotion. So, I am pretty happy about that.
