Pajama Day!

I got up after hearing my phone in the kitchen this morning. I thought it was Mandy, so I sprung out of bed in mid-dream. I felt rather dazed. I didn't rush to answer the phone, but I at least got myself out of bed. After getting my contacts in and stuff, I went to the phone and found out it was Rite Aid calling me about one of my meds again. I hate the stupid reminder phone call. I don't even know how I got signed up for it! There isn't any way online that I can see to cancel it, so I guess I'll ask at the pharmacy tomorrow. Irritating!

I got Mittens his breakfast, and I went to wash my face. I felt so nice and warm for once in my pjs, so I decided that today would be Pajama Day. It's not that I wasn't feeling sick or tired or anything, I honestly just didn't want to get dressed. lol Although I have places to go, I thought I'd just leave it for tomorrow. So, I had breakfast, and spent way too much time online before I finally decided to go work on a few jewelry-related things. I had to resize a couple PH bracelets for 2 ladies who were at the meeting on Saturday. I also remade a Medic Alert bracelet for myself. And then I set up a triple illusion necklace set with these gorgeous fall colored beads. They are black-dark brown-red-orangey round beads, and I just think they are so nice! Hopefully I will have some time to work on it fully soon!

Right before Mittens and I got in a nap, I found out of from a phriend that a phriend of ours had received her call for lungs! SW was headed to the hospital, in Texas, and I prayed for 20 minutes that this call would be for real. Anyone on a transplant list can be called and then find out later that it was a false alarm. SW already had one of those calls over a month or so ago, so I was really hoping it wasn't going to happen again. As far as I know right now, about 8 hours later, the surgery is a go! I hope to hear in the morning how the surgery is going. It can take a long time to get through that surgery. I'm praying that everything goes off without a hitch!

I got up from my nap to make dinner, and then I watched tv and hosted PHA chat for the evening. I also chatted with a couple friends online. I don't know what I'd do without the internet. I truly think I would be lost and very much feeling as if I was alone. I'm so thankful it is out there, even if it makes me procrastinate on things I should be doing. lol I'm just glad I've been able to connect with so many people, especially those also living and dealing with PH.

On that note, it's time to get to bed! I have pulmonary rehab in the morning, and then I'd like to go shopping to get things I need for the month, and to just browse. The weather is supposed to be pretty nice for once, and not so dreary. Much better for me than having to be out in chilly weather!

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 ...
