A year ago today I had a clot brewing behind my knee...
Anyway, my INR was 2.3 on Thursday. Gosh. I tweak the dosage even just a tiny bit and it makes a huge difference. Even if I miss just ONE dose of Coumadin (which I have once before), my INR drops at least a point. I wonder why this is....Grrrrrr.
Work is so crazy right now. I like my job. I don't LOVE my job, but I like it. I like the flexible schedule (although today I worked 10 hours), I like the people, my manager, and meeting new people every day is wonderful. I work for a large insurance company in the Medicare segment, so most people I meet are 65 and older. They always tell me that I'm too young to have a blood clot, and then we share Coumadin stories, since many older people take this drug. Since I'm in outside sales, my day consists of appointments, and sometimes giving seminars. It's good, but I am just tired of it. I need to be challenged in a new way.
What I would LOVE to do is go back to school full time to get my Masters in English Literature, and then in time go on to get my doctorate so I could teach college. This is a ton of school, however, and our income would drop dramatically with me out of work. Right now I make really good money in sales. It's addictive, too. I'm pretty stingy and frugal, but the more you make, the more you spend.
Ugh. I'll figure it out I suppose. But I am 27. I'm not getting any younger, and I can't believe in less than 3 years I'll be 30! Where does the time go? When you're a kid, you dream so big, and life seems unlimited; I wanted to be a writer, a director, a tennis player,an actress, a lawyer... I wanted to make an impact on this world, change it for the better. As my Dad says, one day you just wake up, look in the mirror, and wonder who that old person is that's staring back at you.

But you're alive at 27, and that's no small feat either.
I worry sometimes that I'll think I'm missing out on something, but looking back now, all the "big stuff" that I was so worried about is nothing when I look at the path I've taken in life and all the stuff I've done along the way. I think you get from life what you give, even if it's not what you always dreamed of, and that can make or break your happiness.
