Wishing For Naptime!

First of all, I dyed my hair a reddish color, like I usually do. I still think I need a better dye job, but I'm not rushing out to get it done. I've learned my lesson. Unless I have my hair cut incredibly short (and we all know that'll never happen!!), I will never dye my hair again! And doesn't it figure, last night Kat finally emailed me back to ask me if this weekend was alright to come over. UGH. lol

Secondly, I think you can all see that I've gotten my blog ready for Valentine's day. lol I was tired of the snowy look, and I was bored (I guess dyeing my hair didn't cure my boredom), so I thought what the heck? I'll go for a change! I am still trying to pick out new songs that fit the Valentine theme. Any suggestions??

Thirdly, I've been waiting for the oxygen guy to come today. He called me this morning and left a message saying he needed to check the numbers on my machine, and wanted to know if I'd be home today. So I called back when I got up, and since then (it was 9:30am when I called, it's now after 3pm), I've been waiting. I am sooooooooo tired, and want to take a nap, but I just know that if I go lay down and start to fall asleep, he'll show up at the door! lol I really hope he comes soon!

Fourthly, it's been snowing pretty much all day, but not really accumulating much. Despite the fact that it says it's 31 degrees, the blowing winds make it seem like it's alot colder. I feel like I've been in a snowglobe all day though. At least it's been pretty!

Fifthly, the doorbell rang around 11-something this morning, and I thought it was the o2 guy. But it was my mom, and she asked me if "we could come in and visit?" I was like who is we? I looked at the van, and my little niece was in there! So my mom got her out, and they both came inside. I haven't really seen her (despite the half an hour I saw her at the funeral home Thursday) since Christmas. We played for awhile, she tried finding Mittens, I fed her lunch. And then we danced, upon her insistence! I think someone will be taking dance lessons when she is old enough. lol It was alot of fun seeing her (and my mom), despite my exhaustion. I wish I could go over to Mandy's house more, but she definitely understands why I haven't been able to.

Sixthly, I don't know why I'm counting my thoughts. lol I guess for right now, I'll just go lay down, because I quite honestly can't stand to be awake any longer. Maybe Joe got confused on what day he was supposed to come. Usually, he's in the area on Wednesdays. Beats me why he called to come today! I would have been home either way! Oh well, off to my nap!

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 ...
