A few small updates

It has certainly been a while since I have posted an update…so here goes!
The last couple of months have definitely been months of change-months of growth, so some time of sharing is definitely overdue.
My scleritis went away with continued treatment, but shortly after stopping the treatment…it came back! I’m currently seeing the eye doctors at the hospital who are keeping a close eye (no pun intended) on my scleritis and are making sure that they taper me off of the prednisone drops more slowly.
I’m sad to announce that I’m still searching for a job. I’ve been applying regularly, but it seems that every single job I come across, even ones that appear to be “entry level” require 1-2 years of experience. It’s a real bummer. I’m thinking that at this point, perhaps it might be a good idea to start attempting to make lateral moves within the organization that I’m currently in as opposed to focusing so strongly on HR jobs. I have come to the realization that these HR jobs are few and far between, and once someone does get an HR role, they tend to stay there for a long period of time. All I can do is keep trying…and hope for the best.
I had been attending boot camp last year on a free trial basis. I really liked it, but number one it was expensive, and secondly…I wasn’t too fond of travelling to that location. Much to my surprise and delight, a boot camp opened up close (closer) to my home, AND it offered a grand opening discounted price. I have been going to classes there and it has been amazing. It is an all women’s boot camp and it is such a positive environment. It’s not the type of boot camp where a drill sergeant-esque individual screams in your face as you struggle through 5 more pushups…no. It’s nothing like that. Yes, we work hard, but it’s more an environment of encouragement and support than anything else. All of the other girls are so supportive of one another, and this is also a factor that encourages me to get up and get there. My instructor is super sweet, supportive, and always ready with modifications for me to ensure I do not injure myself. So far so good!
There is another topic of importance to me that I would like to get into..but I’ll get into that tomorrow, as I feel that it probably deserves a post of it’s own.
