What's up my peeps?!!!

LOL...I hope everyone's doing good. I seem to be falling behind on my posts, but its been a neverending roller coaster here at la casa de Crocheted Cookies. So to give you guys a quick recap, here goes.

In late September I was working at a manufacturing company, temp job, which was good because I needed the money, but it was bad on my health. Getting up at 3AM is something I'm not use to and by the time I got home and made dinner, I wound up getting 3-4 hours of sleep. My allergies were kicking my butt, because the warehouse was so dusty, and that also contributed to the lack of sleep. I was experiencing everything from stuffy nose, running nose, sneezing, etc. It was horrible : (

In the end, the company had to let me go because of my attendance, which by the way I'm not the type to go to work late or miss out on a lot of days. But let me tell you that days after being let go I was starting to feel a lot better, health wise. It's been a little difficult starting from square one all over again. I'm always praying for doors to start opening up, because I could use it right about now.

For now I'm going to try to work on organizing the blog, that way I can post more often, so bear with me as I'm going through these ups and downs. This blog means a lot to me and I want to be able to share recipes, give you a little glance as to what's going on in my world, and also get to know people in the blog world. So here's to starting a new chapter, if I can call it that : )

Take care!

Recap pt. 2

Sorry for the long blog hiatus, but this last month has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Now don't get me wrong, I want this blog to be about my love for cooking, baking, trying different things and visiting new places, but I also want it to be a place where I can share my thoughts. So here goes.

A year and a half ago I was laid off from my temp job. The place I was working at was the same place I worked at for four years as a student worker. I thought that having stability, good reviews, and the recommendations would've helped me land a full time job, but that didn't happen. Unemployment benefits ended last month and let me tell you, when I found out that I couldn't keep collecting unemployment I was devastated. I was so nervous because I didn't know how my fiance was going to take it (he has a full time job, but what I was getting helped us out a little). All I thought about was how were we going to pay the bills and if we were going to have enough money to buy groceries. Sometimes I just want to give up, because looking for a job has been difficult and it has been stressing me out!

On top of that, I found out that I had PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). All the research I did on PCOS scares me a little. I mean, how many more obstacles am I going to face??? All I want to do is scream and cry!

BUT on the bright side we started going to bible study. We met new people and we're getting to know more every week, which is a good thing. It's not something I'm use to doing, but it's been helping me get closer to God and build a stronger, loving relationship with Him.

I know God has something good in store for me, and even though I can be impatient I have to learn how to trust Him and understand that things happen for a reason.
