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!!

Health Changes

 I finally thought I was making progress with my anxiety that had ramped up again back in November of last year. It's been a very long road of not feeling good, trying to increase the Remeron, trying to learn once again that my life is worth a whole lot of SOMETHING. The tremendous loss of my mom, my grandma, a couple of dear phriends, and the nursing home volunteering put a huge pressure of my value of what my life is supposed to be like. However, I had finally started to turn that around. In June, I was robbed (another story for another time, maybe), and on that day I figured that out, I realized I wasn't anxious at all. I was pumped with adrenaline that whole day since I was so angry, so I thought for sure the anxiety would be back again, but it wasn't. And for at least a month and a half, it's been pretty decent. I've been so thankful for that.  But in the last several weeks, I don't know what has happened to my body, especially my abdominal area, but I have

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
