Busy, Busy!

I sure feel like staff sometimes! I changed Mittens litter box today. Boy, was that thrilling. The entire time, he sat in a kitchen chair to "oversee" what I was doing. Now mind you, for a task that should take maybe 20 minutes or so for a normal person, it takes me maybe an hour. I have to just do it slowly, take my time. And I don't care! Litter is heavy, you know? lol Plus, I clean the area that the box is in, clean the box, sweep....all the things that make me sooooo tired sometimes. But I pump up the oxygen to 5L, and take it slow! I always hope that Mittens doesn't have to go within that hour, because if he has to, well, he's out of luck! lol

So, I got the box cleaned and new litter put in, and then I took out the garbage. Bringing garbage out can be so tiring to me, too, especially in the winter. I won't even attempt it then. However, when it starts getting warmer, I usually do it. And with everything I brought out there today, I was surprisingly not too tired!! I am always amazed at the difference I've noticed since before taking the meds for my lungs. If I had done what I did today 2 years ago, I would have had to sit on the sidewalk just to catch my breath so I could make it back to the house. I thank God every day for that medicine....I am able to do so much more than I could ever do
before!

So anyhow, I finish these 2 major hurdles I had to do today out of the list of things I needed to get done before going away this weekend. So, I decided to take up Dee's offer to go out to lunch. We went to Michael's, a little Italian place that's been around for years, and has good food! Lunch was yummy, and we had a nice time just chatting about things. Thanks, Dee! :-D

I got home, and made this double walnut bread something-or-other mix that I had gotten from my sister's shower a couple weeks ago. I am bringing one loaf to the shower this weekend, and the other I decided to keep because it smelled so yummy, I wanted to taste it! lol And mmmmmmmm, it's yummy indeed! While it was baking, I washed the dishes. Then I chatted with Renee until I knew the bread was done, so I could go take a nap. Boy was I tired! lol

I did get a lot accomplished today, which is good. I haven't packed yet, though, which is bad. lol Thank goodness it's only for a few days. I don't really need a lot, just something to wear at the shower. I'm looking forward to it, it'll be nice to see family!
Well, this is enough for now. I might type some more thoughts before going to bed tonight. If I don't, I hope you all have a great weekend! I'll be back Sunday night! :-D
Love to all my J-land readers!!

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
