Half Crappy Sunday!

When I got up this morning, there were no signs of a headache anymore, but my stomach still didn't feel all that right. I had breakfast and got ready for church. My mom picked me up, and I found a place to sit while she parked. Church has been soooo packed since we merged with another parish. It's unreal how many people show up now! However, it's cold season. Not literally just cold, but people are sick all around me. I felt paranoid during mass. I only shook hands during peace with my mom and one other person. I keep forgetting to bring antibacterial sanitizer to use after peace!!! But not only that, people are hacking all around me and sneezing. Not everyone covers their noses or mouths, either. I feel like taking the fall/winter off from going to church. I never used to be this paranoid about it, but after having to stop going to church from December to almost April last year because I was recovering from pneumonia, the idea doesn't sound too far fetched!!

My mom dropped me off after church, and I played around online and chatted with Mason for awhile. I had a cup of tea, thinking maybe that would help my stomach. It didn't do too much. So I tried a spoonful of honey. Someone on the PH boards posted just a few days ago that it helps soothe upset stomachs, so I thought, couldn't hurt to try! And after awhile, I actually did feel a little better! I eventually tried to eat a little bit of a sandwich, and my stomach wasn't rebelling! Yay!!

My mom, Joan, Mandy, and Dee went to the movies this afternoon. We saw "The Secret Life of Bees." I thought it was a good movie, a tad bit dragged out near the end, but overall, it seemed to follow the book pretty closely. I read it over a year ago and really liked it! It was a nice time, and I'm glad we got to go. Of course, since I gave my mom a movie ticket (I had 2 free ones from my nice new neighbor who gave them to me for no reason!), she bought a huge thing of popcorn, and we all shared!! Mmmmmm!

I got home, and not even 10 minutes later, it started pouring! And hailing! And thundering! And the winds were even more brutal than they were before!! It was so weird! I guess we got home at the right time, thank goodness!!! No wonder my sinuses are insane, the weather is crazy!

I spent a good amount of the evening on the laptop, and I admit it was mostly shopping on ebay! Well, that and talking to Mason again! lol I got an email from a seller on ebay who I have bought many lovely beads from, and he was having free shipping on Buy It Now items for today only. OOOOOOOOOOOO!!! So I spent $22 on pretty beads, and a few other items!! And then, after I worked on part of another necklace for a bit, I was shopping for a couple more necklace displays that I definitely need for a jewelry party while in PH chat! And I bought 2 displays! So, I've got goodies coming in the mail this week! hehe!

Well, my tummy is feeling better than it was most of the weekend, thank goodness. So I am hoping this week I can do a bit more than I could the past two days!

I don't usually see movies of the books that I enjoyed reading. I don't know if I will go to "The Secret Life of Bees" because that book was so good.

Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better.

Boy, do I hear you about going to church during "cold season." I have started carrying a small bottle of sanitizer in my purse. Sometimes, I just wave at those next to me and tell them I have a cold.

Hi Colleen,

Grats on feelin better - I empathize with the warm fuzzy you get when online shopping - I've done almost all of mine online for 3 years now - I looked at Ebay a few times but kinda got tired of checking each auction to see their shipping fee information - a lot of times you can bid & get a decent deal only to find out you're getting gouged on the shipping fees - glad to hear you got a good deal - on the church/cold thing: there's a time for faith & there's a time for prudence - take care of your body first so the lord won't have to later

see ya :-)

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 ...
