Step aside 2011...

And make room for 2012!

Hey Everyone hope you have all been enjoying the holidays. I've spent such a great time with my family; and can hardly believe that tomorrow we will be celebrating the New Year to come.

Last year my New Years Eve was horrible it was right after my radiation and i spent it in bed crying. I was in massive pain and didn't think i would make it through this year (2011)

2011 has come and gone where did time go? But i absolutely have no regrets or complaints. I've had a rough year financially, but even rougher time adjusting to my health issues. I feel like i finally managed to control my condition and have learned my body's language. I still get scared, sad, depressed and stressed but its definitely a lot less than before.

About a month ago i was finally told i no longer have any thyroid tissue meaning I'm Cancer free.
I had my yearly check-up and everything came out pretty good. Just have to make some minor adjustments and ill be good to go.

I've learned to eat a lot healthier than before i can proudly say i don't drink soda and try my best to stay away from sodium. (Need to work on my exercising routine for 2012)

I've some-what have learned not to over-analyze every little thing. And I'm trying my best to let things run their course.

One of the biggest highlights and honor of my year was being chosen to be Nicole By OPI blogger of the month (September).  I can hardly believe what a wonderful experience that was.

It gave my nail design blog such a boost and made me realize that i had to follow this dream. Therefore I'm so happy that i started beauty school.

I finish school in February and I'm ecstatic about getting my nail technician license. I've met such wonderful people in that class and I've learned so much more than i ever thought i would learn.

I feel a lot more focused and mature about what i want to do with my life in general.

I'm sure there are a lot more events that happen this year but these are the ones i remember so far.

Other than that my wonderful family, friends and special someone have made this year supper extraordinary.
i couldn't of asked for more.

So farewell 2011 thank you for everything!

New Years resolution: Focus on my health and eating habits, get a job with my career, start traveling and make a lot more nail designs.

Thank you for being part of my blog, hope you all have a wonderful New Years Eve!!! Wishing you all a prosperous new year filled with amazing loved ones, health and everything you might want.


 

Farewell 24 it was good knowing you!!!

What can i say? I dislike goodbyes their always so depressing and negative. 

But I want to try making this last hour  positive. 

Our meeting last year was so quick and some-what rough. I guess we started off on the wrong foot. We were roughed up and bullied all year long. 

But a lot has happen and i must say i have learned so much with you by my side. 

I always used to say that on my birthday i felt the same nothing different just one more number to add to my years in this world. 

But last year when we met it felt so much different. 

I finally realized 24 brought more weight and responsibility than 23.

It took a while to realize the changes i had to do with my life. But i can honestly say i feel more accomplish now. I know what i want with this new number I'm about to meet. I hope i can meet the standards and fulfill each and every responsibility this new number brings.

 It was quite a year full of surprises, struggles and emotions. But  i believe i did a heck of a job dealing with it. I'm more grown up mature this time around. 

Thanks 24 for all the new experiences i shall never forget you. But its time to let you go and make room for 25.

Still counting...

My hands and feet have turn to ice, its supper cold and windy. I get cold chills like crazy around the evening. Its now a year and one month since my surgery. I'm very happy to announce that my doctor finally declared me cancer free. He said from the look of it i no longer have any thyroid tissue left in my body. My dosage is working again so i'm thrilled about that. Hope this dosage is finally the one.

School is great I'm half way done. Already applied for my pre-state board exam. I've learned and continue learning so much. My sleeping habits have been stable. I switched from Melatonin to Valerian and back to Melatonin. I've also adopted a new habit of listening to classical music on Pandora. It relaxes me and puts me to sleep quickly.

I'm really trying to keep my eating habits where they should be. Trying my best to stay away from Cheeses and bread (So difficult) but have to have will power.

The only complain i have is that my stomach still hurts. Its now been 4 months since September that my abdominal pain has lasted. It use to be extremely painful in the morning and would go away during the day. But now its more intense pain below my belly button. I've also been getting a lot of lower back pain.

So i'm worried about that. I've already made an appointment to see my doctor. But im really scared, hopefully it will be something curable.

Anyways thanks for reading. Take care
