Busy But Good

It has been a couple of busy days. On Friday (yesterday) I stopped at the Wharton Clinic for a weigh in before stopping in to see my therapist then I went on to training for my new job. Today I continued training for my new job but we did some practical photography work.
First things first, I lost 2.5 lbs over the last 2 weeks. Woohoo!
Second, on the mental health front, I talked to the therapist about some of the side effects of the medication and how they have subsided. We also discussed how I was a little overwhelmed by all the changes and how to best keep organized with all of the appointments, in addition to some strategies for time management in learning to keep my home more tidy without feeling bad about it. I'll blog about my solutions for that once I set up some day planners etc.
Third, work is really great. Working with my fellow photographers today helped me see that I have some assets that the others don't. I had taken for granted my experience working with children and my ability to take charge of the situation. When behind the camera it comes natural for me to speak up and take charge. Some of the other photographers who have been with the company for other seasons were warning us about all the weird and annoying things kids will do while you are trying to take pictures...Duh! The thing about that is that the behaviours are quite predictable once you are used to working with children, which I am even in large groups. So I guess that is one more thing I can feel good about.:D
