Apartment NOT For Rent

Well, the church lady (ok, lady from church) came over this morning. Diane loved the apartment. I had been drying my hair while my mom was showing her around. When I was finished, I thought I'd go up and say hi. But they started coming down the stairs, so I just opened my door. Diane saw me, and she was so excited, she gave me a big hug! She asked if it was ok for her and her dog to live here, and I said of course! So, she is taking the place!! I can't tell you how relieved I am that I'm actually going to have someone I know, rather than a complete stranger! Diane is so nice, and she's also very busy. It makes me wonder when she'll actually have time to live here!! LOL! She teaches several college courses at one of the local colleges, and she is also working on her Masters. It has something to do with animals, since she is a HUGE animal lover. I am just happy the apartment tenant hunt is over, and I really hope we won't need anyone else for years! Diane said she can move in Columbus Day weekend, the 2nd weekend of October. Cool!!

My mom and I went into Lewiston after Diane left, since I had my eye appt. It was rather quick! I went into a room with this eye machine, and the lady took a few pictures of my retina in both eyes. Then she explained to me what the pictures showed. They were neat! My eye doc came in, and also told me what we were looking at in the pictures. He showed me a very small area in my retina in my right eye, that may possibly lead to a tear (rip) at some point. There isn't anything that can be done about it, only to just keep an EYE on it. haha. So that was that!

My mom and I wandered around Lewiston for awhile, going into some shops. The day was nice, a little cool, but the sun was out. We stopped at this one newer juice bar, and decided to see what they had to eat. We ordered steak and cheese panini sandwiches, which came with a small spinach salad. I also got a tropical berry smoothie. Everything was so delicious! The guy who owns this new place is about 25ish, and his family has been in the restaurant/ice cream shop business in this area for years. I really hope this new venture works out for him, because it was really yummy!

I spent the rest of my day just relaxing at home. I will be going to the rehab center tomorrow to sign myself up for stuff. I guess this place does not take insurance, so I'll be paying for sessions myself. It's $36 for 8 sessions, and they are open on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So, if I go all 8 sessions, it would be about a month. And then I can see if I want to continue. I think if I tried to figure out if the other rehab place I've heard about accepts insurance, it wouldn't make much of a difference. That place is quite a bit farther away, and if I was going there, I'd be paying $36 in gas, at least. I'd just rather go to the closer hospital! That's about all I have planned for tomorrow! Besides celebrating 33 years of life. :)

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 ...
