Busy Couple of Days!

Yesterday I was quite busy being productive! I felt alot better than my blah Sunday, which I was very happy about. I decided to wash all my bras, whooo hoo! Not that THAT is a huge chore, but it's a chore nevertheless! I also worked on jewelry for the day. I made an illusion necklace with these pretty blue beads, and it came out nice. I also worked on a triple layer necklace, with bronze beads. It took a little over 2 hours to make, because some of the beads I used were so tiny! They are called seed beads, and well, they are the size of little seeds! Thank goodness for the magnifying glass lamp my mom gave me, and for a shitload of patience!!!! I love how it came out, though! I also made tuna noodle casserole last night, which I just LOVE. So it was quite a busy day for me, and I never napped!!

Today I decided to go to my niece's soccer game again, so I called my mom and she picked me up. It was a really nice morning, still a bit hot for 10am. I didn't realize until tonight that I got a little burnt! Ooops! I need Vitamin D, though! lol After my mom dropped me off, I played around online a bit, then hosted afternoon chat. Then I babysat! The little "chunk," as Jeannie (my friend) calls her son is just too adorable! Boy, he sure is on the move nowadays. He still can't walk yet (he just turned a year old last weekend!), but I'm sure that'll come in no time! I just keep him corraled in the computer room with the door shut, so he is not crawling all over the apartment. I can't really pick him up much (he is 27lbs!), and Jeannie tells me not to pick him up! Unless, of course, he has a boo boo or something. But I'm there the whole time anyway, so he's pretty good. He just has such a sweet temperment, and he is almost always smiling and laughing. He is too cute for words!

After Jeannie picked him up, I had some dinner, and ended up falling asleep on the couch for half an hour after. Guess I was tired from babysitting!! When I got up, I called Lisa. I wished her a Happy Anniversary! I can't believe it's already been 2 years since she's been married. We chatted for a little bit before she asked if I could call her back later, since a bit of chaos was going on at her house. So then I decided to get my butt on the treadmill. I haven't been on it in a week. I admit, I'm not exercising like I was in April. Alot of times it's been too hot and humid to try. I know I have the a/c, but I don't want to run it for only 7 minutes of walking, or whatever it is that I am able to do that particular day. Anyway, my walk tonight was alright, I walked 9 minutes. Did all my stretches and weights, and I felt pretty good!

Tonight I've just been online, as usual! I had to tutor, and I also was in chat again for a bit. Nothing else exciting!

My PH nurse emailed me today to let me know she put in the request to my insurance to approve Revatio at 40mg 3x a day. She said she should have an answer in 72 hours. I hope my insurance allows me to take that much. If it is approved, I will probably just got up by 10mg at first, so that I'm taking 30mg 3x a day. We'll see though. This all depends on if the insurance goes through!

Guess I'll go read for awhile. I'm reading "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. It's ok so far. I'm not too sure what to think about it yet, but I'm not too far into it to really give a thumbs up or down. My first instinct was that I don't like it at all, but I'm trying to keep reading! Hopefully I'll make it to the end at some point!

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 ...
