This busy week keeps trudging along. My nephew had his preschool graduation on Wednesday morning, in which he totally refused to participate. lol He just sat there on the chair and didn't sing, didn't stand, didn't say the poems. At least he wasn't the only kid not to join in. The boy next to him sat straight in his chair the entire time, and a little girl cried. Better luck next year, I guess!

My niece's Kindergarten graduation went a lot better. There was a picnic lunch first, which was nice, but hot. And then we all went into the auditorium and listened to the kids sing three songs, and then each of them got special awards from their teachers. My niece had Best Artist award! She really is quite talented! After everything was over, I brought my mom back to the vet so she could pick up some meds for Shelby. Poor Shelby has an infection of some sort. She's been getting laser treatments, too, to see if the pain she has in her back legs will get better. She's about 14 years old, which is pretty old for a dog. I don't know, though, personally I feel my parents are going to need to make that painful decision soon of letting her go. Guess we'll see what happens.

I haven't felt all too great this week, despite everything I've been trying to do. I got home today with no energy and a lot of pain in my face and my one leg. I napped for awhile, but nothing felt all that better. I feel completely worn out. I'll be up for an hour in the morning and feel as if I need to go back to bed. It's so frustrating. Tomorrow evening is my niece's dance recital, and then Saturday night is the stag and doe. I just hope that I can get through them both. On that note, I need to get myself into bed!

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 ...
