Long Day

It's been a long day. And I really didn't do anything. I've been dog-sitting, since my family went to a wedding out of town yesterday. Shelby is a cutie, and I love her, but I am just not cut out to take care of a dog! I am definitely a cat person. I don't have to worry about Mittens needing to use the bathroom or when he needs to be fed. And I don't have to entertain him constantly. Shelby, on the other hand, is sooooo different. She woke me up at 5:30 this morning to go outside. Unfortunately, I don't have a fenced in yard, so I had to go with her. Oy! Then, after being out for over 10 minutes, and watching her pee 3 times, she came back in and peed on my blanket. Oy!! She peed on my comforter yesterday afternoon, too. Ugh!! My mom thinks she has a bladder infection. Ya think??? Anyway, Shelby has been pretty good this afternoon, I have to admit. I'm going to take her back down to my mom's in a little while.

Besides watching the dog, and finding out about my friend's father, I haven't felt good at all today. My ear was totally hurting, which is silly since I've been on an antibiotic for it for 5 days now. Maybe it just decided to hurt today, I don't know. So, I did manage a nap, and I made Shelby take one, too.

I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I can go up and see my little niece!! Mandy and Ron wanted today to themselves, no visitors. That is because today was their one year anniversary. It's hard to believe they've been married a year, and even harder to believe they have a baby. But Hailey is so damn cute, and I'm very happy for them. So much has changed in their lives, and they definitely consider themselves a team. I hope that never changes for them.

Well, guess I better take Shelby for a walk. I won't say that word out loud until I'm ready. She LOVES that word! And I better do it soon, because Mittens keeps stalking Shelby. He hates that she's been here the whole time. I feel like I've been babysitting 2 kids since yesterday! LOL

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 ...
