Crazy Weather (And Other Happenings)

I guess I better try typing this as fast as I can, because I can hear thunder yet again, and I think another storm is on it's way. Last night I had to turn the computer off around 1o because we got a big storm. This morning I didnt' have it on for long before we got another storm, this time including hail. It cleared for a bit, but now it's gloomy again, and I think we might have another one coming. I know they said tonight we might have more, too. Not to mention the weather is going to drop to fall-like temperatures for the next few days. Grrrrr!!

I had a busy weekend. Saturday was my PH support group meeting. I ended up having 22, which includes 9 PH patients, caregivers/family/friends, the Accredo rep, and the people from my oxygen company who were doing a presentation on oxygen therapy. We had a yummy lunch, conversation, a great presentation, questions, and fun! I enjoyed it, and everyone thanked me again for doing the meetings. I am going to have another one in the fall, probably the first weekend in October. I've decided on 2 meetings a year, since it's just too hard in this area to expect the weather to cooperate in the winter.

Sunday was Father's Day, and after church, my family and I went out to lunch. We went to The Brickyard, which is in Lewiston, NY. They have great bbq pork, among many other choices! We had a good time! My niece sat next to my dad, and she was just cracking him up! He asked her what seagulls say, and she said "Mine, mine, mine!" Then he asked her what whales say, and she proceeded to "speak" whale, like Dory did in Finding Nemo. Needless to say, that is her favorite movie right now! It was so funny though, she had all of us laughing so hard! And then there was my cute little nephew, who was trying to grab everything off the table, and also was turning around in the highchair waving at other people. At least he is adorable, and was cute entertainment!

Well it's becoming awfully dismal out there again, so I guess that means I should shut down the computer again!

I would agree that is crazy weather..
Glad you had a great day with the family yesterday:)

You know even after being married 16 years, my hubby still does things that drive me nuts and always will..LOL

I think after all this time you both have invested it is too soon to give up...Seems like you two are just meant to be together and I hope it does work out for you both..But then you do not need any added stress ..Just do what you feel is right in your heart.

Have a great week and stay safe in that crazy weather.

Love and hugs,

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 ...
