It's Coming......I Think......

I reluctantly went to rehab today. I didn't really feel like it, but I had other errands to do afterward, so I just said "Let's get it over with!" I didn't go on Tuesday because it was a balmy 19 degrees out, but I did exercise on my treadmill. When I left this morning, it was 28, not windy, and that made the difference. My rehab stint was ok, not the greatest. The exercise bike really killed my upper legs for some reason today, so I didn't stay on it long. No sense in making them turn into jello! I finished exercising, and went to pick up a prescription. Then I got some stuff for Joan's boyfriend, since it is his birthday today. I have no idea if he reads my blog, so I don't want to post what it is I got him. lol After that, I went to the credit union. I gave Joan the thing for Rick, since I'm sure she'll see him sooner than I would. He's in FL. Ooooooh. Oh well! I also brought with me a 6-strand bronze-y necklace I had made a while back, that one of the ladies Joan works with kept oogling over at the jewelry party last month. She had told me the last time I came into the credit union to bring it with me, and maybe she'll buy it. She did! I actually really loved the necklace, and when she had it on at the jewelry party, I thought it really looked good on her! I'm going to have to make more of them. They are so time consuming, but they come out really beautiful! After chatting with Joan for a few minutes, I went home to relax for the afternoon. In a little while, I'm going out for coffee with a couple friends. We are going to exchange gifts, and it'll be a nice visit, since I will probably be a shut-in for the weekend.

Because......they are forecasting at least 7 inches of snow and bitter cold temps starting very early Friday morning. We'll see if it really happens. Sometimes the weather people say these things, and they never come to fruition. However, this storm started out in AZ yesterday, and if people in Las Vegas were seeing snow, I somehow think we'll be seeing it, too! The weather has been crazy everywhere the past couple weeks. Snowstorms in areas of the country that never see snow, temperatures that are colder than normal. It's not really a big surprised to us hearty Western NYers who experience the nasty winter weather every year, but for someone who is used to wearing shorts in the winter, dealing with cold and snow probably sucks for them!! lol

I need to figure out what to have for dinner. I'm not used to meeting for coffee when it's usually my dinner time. Maybe cereal and fruit! That's easy enough!! :)

Oh sweetie, it is coming your way! It is now sleeting here in Omaha. We're supposed to get 3-5 inches after we get about 1/2 inch of sleet on the ground. Sorry!! It's time to become a really good hermit!!

Colleen I am glad you were able to get some exercise in. But staying in the warm house I'm sure would have been cozy.

So did you get all the snow you thought on Friday? We got 12" once it was done. Have a Blessed day. Love Deb.

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 ...
