It looks like the last time I updated this blog was way back in June. Since then, I've done a few things. I went to two amazing conferences, I broke my right shoulder in a way that quite removed me from my daily activities for several months, and I got married to Jim!
Of course, this is the very abbreviated version of the last nearly-half-year. Still, I'm not sure how to do such a sweeping update. Maybe a short, bulleted list? Updates are as follows:
- My job is excellent. I like my coworkers and the work I'm doing. The company I work for treats its employees surprisingly well. I have a lot of responsibility, I'm being challenged daily, and I routinely get to dress up like an adult.
- My friends are amazing. Old friends - wonderful. New friends - wonderful. Thank you all for being so present for me over the last year. And a special shout-out to a small group of women friends who I met a little more than a year ago. For the last year, they have been incredibly supportive. Thank you, ladies.
- The wedding was absolutely everything I could have hoped it would be, and I am thrilled to be married to Jim. Thank you so much to all of our family and friends who attended! The honeymoon, in one of our favorite places - Bar Harbor, Maine - was as relaxing as could be.
- On the thyroid front, my doctor is pressing to do another round of radioactive iodine, this one less potent than the last. He checked me in August and didn't see anything on my ultrasound, nor in my blood work, to concern him. However, he would like to treat me with iodine. He says it is an important part of the treatment puzzle. I will probably go through with it in January, once my vacation/sick days reset.
Those are some of the highlights for the moment. I will try to update again in a more timely manner.
