Keeping Busy Without The Internet!

I've kept myself busy the last couple of days doing things around the house, and being out for most of the morning and afternoon today. It's amazing at how much can get down and the things I'm getting accomplished when I'm not glued to the internet most of the day.

Yesterday after the o2 guy left, I went to the basement to bring up my storage box for all my snowman and winter decorations that I keep up after Christmas. Considering that I was able to turn the heat off for a couple days (during the day at least), and I knew spring was officially arriving on Sunday, I just had to put those things away! I was so tired of looking at them, even though I love snowmen! I got the box, and before I went back upstairs, I finally put the towels I washed about 2 weeks ago into the dryer to fluff them a bit. I got the box to the living room, and began putting things away. Now, most of my figurines and such are glass, so some of them were wrapped up. I filled the box, and it was heavy, but not unmanageable. If I had to guess it probably was close to 10lbs? Maybe not even. I wasn't about to weight it. But, I did carry it back down into the basement. I was ok doing so! Then I got my towels, and put them away when I got back into the apartment. After having some lunch, I cleaned the glass coffee table, dusted, and started putting things back out that have been hibernating for the winter. I have a lot of pics of my niece and nephews, and some family pics, so it's nice to have them out again!

This morning I went to a free business seminar with Mandy, to learn about the types of businesses there are, and forms that need to be filed along with it. It was interesting, and I'm glad we went. We go to another one next weekend that'll be even more important since it's on record keeping and things to make sure one pays attention to when owning a business. I'm hoping that'll be helpful to both of us. In the afternoon, my mom and I went to Aldis, which was really crowded when we first got there. But we trudged through and got all the stuff we wanted and needed (and didn't need), and filled the cart up like we usually do! lol I think we were there for about an hour or so. I drove back to my house so my mom could bring my things inside, and then I dropped her off at her house. After putting all my stuff away when I got home, I was tired and in need of a nap! The evening has been pretty low key. For some reason, I was antsy and kinda wanted to go out and do something, but none of my friends were available, and neither were my sisters. So, I just took a bath and then opened up a margarita. lol I'll be going to bed soon, and hopefully tomorrow I'll be going to a bead exposition. Eeeeeek!!! A convention center conference room full of beads is like putting a crack addict into a room full of crack! LOL!

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 ...
