Hot Friday!!

Today finally felt like summer!! It shot up to 88 degrees, and I loved every minute of it! People think I'm crazy, but I really don't care! lol This summer is ending rapidly, and it hasn't been the warmest, and so when we get these few days of heat, I enjoy them immensely!

I went out to run some errands today. I wore a cute tank top and a white skirt. I felt perty! And cool! I had to go to the post office, then to the drug store, and then I went to Niagara University to visit the people I used to work with. Unfortunately, most of the people weren't there for one reason or another! So I didn't visit for very long, maybe half an hour or so. After that, I decided to stop by where my dad works to visit the gals in the office. I chatted for a bit, and then found my dad in the pipe shop. He was hot and sweaty and bitching. What else was new! I left to go pick up my prescription, and then went home. I spent the rest of the afternoon just reading and taking a little nap with the fan on me in the bedroom. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Tonight has been just relaxing on the couch, watching What Not To Wear on TLC, which I am getting addicted to on Friday nights! I wish I could get a whole new wardrobe, and a makeover! Although the one part I would cringe over is the hair. I would just DIE if someone cut my hair way too short!! Coloring it is one thing, because I don't mind that, but if I had someone who insisted on cutting my hair to a short bob, oh man I would have to just cry!! I actually really want to get my hair cut, maybe so that I have about 4 inches cut off. That is a tiny bit drastic, but my hair would still be past my shoulders. It just wouldn't be halfway down my back like it is now! The only reason I haven't gone yet is because, although my neck is much better than last week, I'm still a little sore with it and I'm afraid trying to get my hair washed might strain it even more. So I'm going to try and wait another week. I'm just taking it day by day!

I have to babysit tomorrow for Mandy, although it should be a piece of cake. My nephew will be sleeping while I'm there, and my niece will be with Mandy and Ron. They are going to Ron's brother, John's, wedding. A wedding that is happening for all the wrong reasons! This is John's second marriage, and I'm not sure this time around is going to last either. Oh well, I could go on and on about that topic, but it's waaaaaay too much to write about, and my wrist is already aching!!

I'm off to read for a bit before bed! I'm still working on The Time Traveler's Wife. It's been ok. I'm not loving it like some people I know who've read it, but I'm not hating it either!

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 ...
