Happenings

This week seemed to have gone by alot quicker than last week. Last week just dragged. I kept busy with things, but it just seemed like time was going by slower than molasses. Now suddenly, before I knew it, a whole other week has passed!

I'm feeling better than last week, emotionally. I'm not worrying about things too much. I wouldn't say I'm at peace, but I feel calmer on the inside. I'm glad for that, because for a couple days, I really thought I was going to have a breakdown physically. I can't get myself stressed out like I did, it's definitely not good for my health!

I've started working on a website for my jewelry. I finally decided that I had to just start it, and then maybe my sister will just put the pictures of my stuff on for me. It's coming along, and I like it so far! Right now, I'm just showing examples of what I make. If someone wants to order something, I will have instructions on how to do so. Since I only make one of something, it's kind of hard to have that displayed, and only having one to order. I haven't figured out how to do that yet! I will also feature tealight lamps soon. They have been fun to make, and I am using glass beads on those, too. There are so many things you can do with beads!

This month is one that I consider the "worst month of the year." The only reason I say this is because May has always been filled with birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, and graduations/Communions, etc. I also call it my "broke" month. Not that I'm not broke any other month. lol But I'm planning on making a couple gifts this May, since I can't afford to buy everyone something. Hopefully they'll like it. If not, there's not much I can do about it!

Lisa is coming home on May 20th, and I didn't even know it! I knew she was thinking about coming home, but she said airline tickets were too expensive. I guess she must have found a cheap ticket! It'll be nice to see her, since we haven't seen her since the holidays. She is also driving home in June, for little Hailey's first birthday! And then, we get to go down south for her wedding in July. Three months in a row of seeing Lisa, yay!!

My best friend, Eve, is coming home for a week next month. I'm sooooo excited to see her! I miss her badly, and I wish she was back home. Her husband has filed paperwork to get transferred back to this area, but it's going to take awhile to find out the results. There's no guarantee that he would be sent back here. I keep praying that he will be! As much as I can't stand the guy, and that I'm happy Eve finally separated from him, I want him transferred here so that Eve and their son will be back here, too! She needs to come home!

Well, I must be off to exercise. It's getting to be addictive with me again. I'm especially obsessed with trying to get my stomach flat. I don't know why. I think part of the reason is that diabetes runs in my family, and I'm so afraid that I'll develop it, too. If you saw me in person, you'd probably slap me silly because I'm very thin. lol It's not a matter of losing weight, it's just a matter of building muscle. I'm not looking for abs of steel, I just want more muscle. Apparently, trying to build muscle in your tummy is very hard! Ok, off I go!

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 ...
