So Many Changes

During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding. 

My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician. 

I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well. 
I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again.

I have also started canning, prepping, and just trying to take care of my family for the future. This year though I am stepping it up and taking it a step further (more posts to come with my progress).

My husband also celebrated our 6th year anniversary and renewed our vows in the Western Caribbean. It was such an amazing experience and we both had a wonderful time.

I am also starting a new blog. So much has changed since starting this blog and I may post on here from time to time but when I made this blog I was so focused on being happy and healthy. While that is great to strive for I also thought that meant I wouldn't worry and my stress and anxiety would be reduced and in some ways gone. That's not the case and then I would worry about worrying, lol. I have grown and now know that it's okay to worry and have anxiety. I should recognize that I have those feelings, feel those feelings, and then move past it. I shouldn't never try to have the feelings in the first place.

So this year I am not focused on being "worry free" more like recognizing worry and then releasing that worry. I may not be explaining it properly but it is how I feel. So I am starting a new blog, most of my posts will be there.  I'll be posting about my life, health, and some posts about prepping too.

This is not a fare well, just a see you later.

I Love My Coffee

I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it. I used to drink Starbucks all the time but now I make my coffee at home. When it started to get hot here I stopped drinking my coffee in the morning because hot coffee and hot weather was just too much for me. Then I realized I should just make iced coffee! I have a couple recipes I have been using lately and would love to write them. Some of them are healthy and some of them, not so much. Vanilla Creme: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Vanilla Creme SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Chocolate Raspberry: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Chocolate Raspberry SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Iced Mocha Coffee: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) A couple squirts of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup You can basically make it anyway you want to.
