Last Day of Fyrescape 2 and not satisfied

Hello! I haven't blogged at all. This whole Fyrescape 2 journey has really gotten away from me. To be perfectly honest, my surgery from last September, that really did a number on me. My recovery time was only 6 to 8 weeks, so I gave myself until November to be totally 100%. That was a huge bust! Why? Because ya I was walking around without my cane by then and pretty much back to normal, but my incision area on my lower abdomen, that was still in pain. Not really bad, but like I couldn't lay on my stomach and I couldn't run, or stretch. I was very limited in mobility and I was afraid to really lift heavy things during this time. Whenever I started to push myself, I could feel this throbbing feeling around my incision area. I did my walks on occasion but not everyday like I wanted to. Things just got so busy for me in my life that I didn't even keep up with my blogs. Christmas came around and it was great, but just so busy. Then when the holidays were over, my life jus

A NEW JOB

So one of the biggest parts of Fyrescape is success not just in exercising or mental health, but in all aspects of my life. Today, after 3 years of being unemployed (and that's actual company employment, I'm actually self-employed which is how I make my living) I landed a job :D Since my buddy, Lisa, started Nursing School in January, I have been frantically trying to find work. I do my self-employment, but that was only helpful when Lisa was working because I didn't bring in much money. Right now, my situation has required a full-time job to pay our bills so since January I've been looking everywhere for something. Well today, I got an interview with Smiths. It went really well and before my interview was over.....I LANDED THE JOB!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!!! Oh man I am so happy about it. Finally after months of looking, I finally got the job!! So I told everyone and they are all happy for me. My mom is beyond ecstatic and my grandparents are both very happy and proud. My

TODAY I GOT A NEW CAR

On Friday night (1.15.2016), my truck died on me :'( Timing belt broke! In other words, dead in the water. That was my Only vehicle and at the time I was looking for work and my best pal, Skye, is starting Nursing School the following Monday. She uses my truck so she was very worried and angry. I told her we needed to be thankful that my old truck lasted all that time and got her to her last day of work. Now me, I was not worried because I knew God was always there. I was scared, however, because of everything especially on Saturday morning when I woke up. So I went out into the field by my place and I prayed. I said to God how thankful I was for His many blessings. I thanked Him for my truck and the time that I had it. Then, I asked Him to please help me in my situation. I put my trust in Him as I always do. That was Saturday morning (1.16.16). Saturday night (1.16.16), my mom called me and asked me to come over to their place. When I did, they talked with me for a bit about a
