This Will Be Brief!

I know I haven't posted for several days. I've spent this week playing the "Am I getting sick or am I not?" game. I think my happy outings on Sunday and Monday made me feel a bit run down. I had a questionable throat for a couple days, so I pummeled myself with honey, lemon, oranges, and Vitamin C. Wednesday and Thursday, I spent most of it sleeping. I guess I needed it! Friday, I had an earache, but that had kept coming on and off this week, too. Today wasn't too bad. Well, except that after showering, I realized I had some really bad muscle pain near my shoulder. Tylenol didn't work, and a heating pad sorta helped. It's not too bad tonight, but still there. I must have slept funny somehow!

Today I went to coffee with Jeannie and Mo. On the way to Starbucks, Erin called me to ask if I wanted to go to dinner with her and Eve, and the kids (Erin's daughter and Eve's son). She said she was going to leave by 4:30, so she'd call me to see if I was home from coffee. I got home by 4:25!! And by 4:45, Erin had picked me up!! So, we all ate at Olive Garden after waiting a crazy hour and a half for a table!! By the time I got home, it was about 9pm, and I was beyond exhausted. Sooooooo, I am now off to bed!! I am going to a birthday party at Lasertron tomorrow afternoon. I'm kinda said that I can't participate with the kids, and shoot people! LOL! Of course, I'm probably a great target, so I'm sure I'd be out right away! Anyway, I need my energy to be around all those rambunctious boys!!! lol Wish me luck!!

Have a blast. If you get real tired just volunteer to be a target. Then when you get shot, you can just lay down :)

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 ...
