Aggravation On A Tuesday!

Well this day is almost over, thank goodness! It wasn't terribly horrible, I just was aggravated once again for different reasons. Since I'm pretty beat, I'm just going to give a short recap on what happened:

My internet was out almost all day. After thinking it was my computer, calling Time Warner to fix it, then being told someone was going to have to come out to my house on Thursday, my sister told me hers didn't work, either, when she got home from work. Aha, another Time Warner issue, and sure enough, when I called back, they said internet service was down in my area. Figures! I didn't get it back until 8:30. Geesh!

I called my PCP's office again, since I figured she didn't get my message from yesterday. I talked to her nurse. I explained to her my situation regarding Revatio and needing to take it in the presence of doctors. She said she'll talk to my doctor about it tomorrow, when she'll be in the office. I'm praying my PCP will just agree!! If not, I'm going to be miffed.

I didn't get mail today, so the mail I had to send out didn't get picked up. Yes, that is aggravating to me. So I had to go out to the post office just to mail the letters. I truly miss the mailbox that used to be right across the street from my house. Gosh darn it, why did they have to remove it??

It monsooned outside around 4:30 this afternoon. I'm not even kidding when I say I had a hard time seeing right outside my house. That's just how bad it was coming down! Not to mention that every single window in my place was wide open. By the time I got to my bedroom after shutting all the other windows, the floor, walls and furniture near both windows were soaked. Dripping wet, it was that bad! After the storm, I reopened most of the windows. It looked like a war zone outside, with lots of downed tree limbs everywhere. I'm just glad the power didn't go out!

Ok, so this wasn't a brief recap. What did I actually get done today??

I backed up my computer files, since I haven't done it since I bought my computer 2 years ago. I made some pretty jewelry. I made a few phone calls to plan my next PH support group meeting. So I guess I was pretty productive. Despite my aggravation. Yay!

Let's hope tomorrow is aggravation-free!

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 ...
