Wow, so I'm on week 4 of being a "stay at home Kayla," and I still have all of my hair and haven't lost my mind yet. I think that's really saying something. It really hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I do get frustrated and bored at times, but I've really only had 2 "bad" days so far, where I bummed on the couch in sweats all day and was crabby. Other than those days, I have gotten up early each day and been productive. The job market is kind of crappy right now, but I'm trying to stay optimistic. Adam has been so supportive about me finding a job and not rushing into something I don't want to do (like medical sw, ick), but I hate the idea of being home for so long. We shall see how much longer I last!
I have started reviewing for my LCSW exam so I can apply for my license. I don't think I will be eligible to take the exam until the beginning of March because it takes them forever to process my degree and all that. I should definitely be ready to go by then because most of the info on the exam is stuff I have been doing for the last 4 years! Still, I will definitely be nervous to actually take the test.
The only drama that really sucks is my jaw. Ever since it popped out of place in September, it has been getting progressively more painful. I think around November is when it started to be unbearable and I decided to see a specialist. Of course the surgeon/specialist decided I needed surgery because I have exhausted all other resources to make it better, but our insurance refuses to pay for ANY services related to my TMJ. It has been such a frustrating couple of months dealing with all of this, particularly because i am in pain all of the time. I'm kind of proud of myself that I only had 1 minor breakdown day and have been optimistic/friendly otherwise. I guess we will do an in-office procedure to see if it will help since we can't afford the surgery without insurance. I will try to remain optimistic about this drama because my mood has been pretty good overall and I would like it stay that way!
Ok, time to be productive today. I might actually work on the wedding scrapbooks today! I will to be better about updating my blog as well.
