Great Weekend, Crappy Monday

Today was a crappy day. I tried to seek positivity in the morning when I got up, but since I didn't feel good from the get-go, that effort went down the drain pretty quick. It was kind of hard to take considering I had a really good weekend. So, I'll just focus on that instead!

Saturday I set out to do some things around the house that I needed to get done. Once the music hit my ears, it seemed that everything was pretty easy to do. I washed some sheets, put them in the dryer and then eventually folded them and put them away. I washed the dishes, and cleaned out the microwave. I finally got rid of the tomato plant on the front porch (there were still 2 tomatoes growing, but they are in a brown bag...maybe they'll ripen and be ok to eat!), and the dead flowers in the big pot on the porch, too. Then I went around to the back and ripped out the tomato plants that never even produced anything. Next year, I will know not to start seeds from scratch, I guess. I took a little nap, made dinner, and then watched my Netflix movie, and then chatted with phriends online until I made it to bed.

Sunday was a rather chilly day, making the apartment chilly. Someone on Facebook said something about their oven, which then inspired me to bake! I made brownies, and then chocolate chip banana muffins. And since I was on a roll, I finally decided to try making homemade hummus. I am so proud of myself, because it is GOOD!! I plan on making it from now on, it was really easy! After cleaning up from that, there wasn't really time to take a nap since I had to make dinner. I did that, and worked on a Medic Alert bracelet for someone. Then I organized some PH awareness bracelets that I want to bring to my support group meeting on Saturday. After that, it was lots of tv time! I relaxed on the couch with Mittens, and it was a very nice evening!

The 2 days were just so good. I was in a great mood, I was feeling good for the most part (some shortness of breath while doing things, but not horrible). I didn't have to take any pain meds since I wasn't in pain and had no headaches! It almost felt like the other shoe was about to drop, and I guess it did today since I just didn't feel good, and the day was lousy. But, I suppose that happens sometimes. Here's hoping the rest of the week is better. I'm still trying to get ready for the meeting, and I have no time for feeling yucky!

My experiences with folks is if they have a really busy good day or weekend. What follows is a person worn down. The good days are something to marvel at, but I guess we have to gear up for the following that is not always good. I will tell you that brownies and music is a sure cure all!

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 ...
