Back To The Crappy Weather!

I got back home from NC on Saturday night around 8:30pm. The trip was a lot better than going down there, I made sure I didn't watch any movies, which is what I think made me get carsick on the way down. I did listen to What About Bob?, but I know the movie by heart, so I really didn't have to watch it! When I got home, I put away most of my stuff, and tried to hang out with Mittens. He was a bit mad at first, and stayed in the cupboard for awhile, but eventually he got over it and wouldn't leave my side. I missed him, too!!

Sunday was rest day. I woke up around 9am, took a shower, and then the fatigue hit me. I just laid low and hung out with the laptop in the bedroom for most of the day! I also got the Partylite stuff from my candle party the weekend before I left, so I sorted that for the people who ordered stuff. I love the things I ended up getting! I'll have to try to take a pic of the reflections candle holder I've loved ever since I saw it several years ago. I put 6 tealights in it, but it gets reflected, so it looks like there are 100s of them. It's sooooo cool!

Today I had bloodwork done, did money stuff at the credit union, and mailed out a couple things before heading back home. I made a couple necklaces for my upstairs neighbor with horse-themed charms that I bought at the Michael's store while I was in NC. She really really loved them when I gave them to her, and said I didn't have to do that! I wanted to give her something for taking care of Mittens while I was gone. I'm glad that at least she likes them both! I took a brief nap in the late afternoon, and made a late dinner. I also watched the SNOW that was outside my windows!! We are supposed to get some more by morning. Grrrrr!!! It makes me wish I was able to stay down in NC another week, or until the nicer weather comes around here again!!!

I'm going to rehab tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it. I actually missed not going for a week!! I am glad that it seems to be helping me because I did pretty well while I was away. I think lifting weights (I am doing 5lbs right now, 12 repetitions) helped me to be able to hold my nephew for quite some time while I was visiting! I think I'll have to pump way more iron if I want to be able to hold him the next time I see him. LOL! Well anyway, I should get to bed so I have enough energy for tomorrow!

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 ...
