Happy Spring! Oh, Wait....

The weather this winter has been very unusual. We've had some days that are almost spring-like, and it's not just in my area! All around the country, places that don't get snow have gotten some, and other places are wondering when the snow is showing up. Of course, I am so not complaining! We've had only a few days that were a handful of degrees, and I didn't go out. But mostly, I'm still able to get around and not freeze horribly, so it's been rather nice. Of course, things can turn on a dime!! I'm still thinking that all of a sudden, we're going to be hit with a huge storm, or a very bone-chilling cold spell. So I'm just trying to enjoy the nicer weather when it's here! 

This weekend wasn't too bad. Yesterday I went out for about an hour to get some food stuff at Aldi's, and to put gas in my car since the weather wasn't too bad. Today I spent the afternoon and evening hanging out with K. We made dinner, watched football (he's trying so hard to get me to understand what's going on, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it! lol), and played gin rummy (where he proceeded to kick my butt!!). I really enjoyed the time we spent together. He's a really sweet guy! :)

Looks like my week isn't all that busy. I need to get my monthly bloodwork done tomorrow morning. I'm supposed to return some stuff to Walmart, but I'm not in a hurry to go back there yet again. I swear I live there! lol My friend, Renee, might be able to come over on Friday, and maybe she'll be able to try out my new coffee pot I'm expecting to arrive on Tuesday! I also need to make sure I try to contact the person at the hospital who schedules meetings that go on there, because I need to find out if I can have a couple more meetings this spring.  And when I do find out if I can hold more meetings, I need to plan them!! So maybe I will be doing more than I expected this week! We'll see how it goes!

Now before I end this post and go to bed, here is my interesting bit of information that I'm trying to include with  all my posts lately. Do you remember those crazy pots of plants called Chia Pets? They were so popular a couple decades ago and are unbelievably still being sold today (I can't believe it!). Well, apparently, chia seeds can be eaten, and are actually very healthy! Now I supposed if I found some chia seeds that I could eat instead of planting them in a pot that is the shape of a head, I'd be willing to buy some to throw into a snack or a favorite meal! lol You can find out more by reading the link below! You can even learn how to make chia breakfast porridge (not too sure about that??)!

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 ...
