Christmas of 2012 I was diagnosed with the cancer and I had to move back to my hometown of Morgantown, WV after having lived in Atlanta GA for the last ten years. I'm completely changing my life and embracing a life long dream of pursuing artistic ventures, as a method of healing release and just because I love to draw and write and whatnot. So i will using this blog to share with others and hopefully inspire a few folks!

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">At least we call him Midnight. Who knows what his real name is. He comes and goes as he pleases, but we think he has a home, but he likes it here for some reason. We've recently started calling him Smoky. He killed a little rabbit and left it under my car. It was so disgusting. Mom had to shovel the carcass up and toss it in the woods because it was stinking. Then the crazy cat decided that it was a good idea to walk on top of my car and sit on the roof for a nap. There's a reason that I never liked cats! Lol!</span></span><br />

Her little brother was buds with my little brother. They live on the other side of the woods over the hill.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So I had been to see the Doc for my usual blood work and I was doing good. No more Doc until July. It's almost time for India's wedding and I'm not sure if I want to go or not. I contact Mel and see if she's going and she's already in Atlanta and encourages me to come down offering a spot in her hotel room. So I pack a bag and prepare to head out in the morning. I drive down to Atlanta --a 9.5 hour ordeal! It was good though. I get there and Mel and every one is at the dinner rehearsal. So she calls the hotel and has them make a key for me.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I take a quick shower and head to JC's place since I'm already on the southside. He's leaving town the next morning because he's going to his father's for the weekend. It's his dad's b-day and father's day. So that was my time to catch up with him. His house was on the market and he had new hardwood floors and light blue walls. It looked really nice. He had even gotten an offer, but it wasn't enough. (I talked to him this weekend and he has a contract on the house. They're just waiting on the final appraisal! Him and Kevin are going to be looking for an apartment together! Yay for JC!)</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So I head back to the hotel later and hang with Theresa, Mel and Caressa. I got to see Liam--Theresa's son! We stayed up late chatting and updating each other of course. We enjoyed the continental breakfast the next morning and got ready to head to "The Mansion" where the wedding is to be held later that evening. So I hung out too even though I wasn't in the wedding party. They all looked really beautiful.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

It was a really pretty wedding and I think everyone was just really happy for them. There was some behind the scenes drama that I'm not going to go into, because that would spoil the beauty of their happy moment.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">MY TRIP CONTINUES...</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So after the wedding I head back to the hotel because my back is really hurting. Not long later the girls return and we have another night of chatting. After breakfast and check out in the morning, I went with Caressa and Theresa to go run a few errands. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">After bidding them goodbye, I head to Senior frogs to meet Nekima. She can't stay long, but we catch up a little bit. She's got another car, she's still going strong with her boyfriend and I'm super excited for her! Yeah--she's going to his family reunion! That's pretty serious! Yay!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Once she leaves Holly arrives a little later and I spend the night at her place. She's been quiet busy since I've been gone, but she's doing good. Working, looking for a new place and just trying to stay out of trouble. </span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I thank Holly for her hospitality! When I got up I headed 4 hours north to Charlotte, NC to see my brother and his family. I love time with my niece.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;">BACK TO WV</span></span></span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I had a great trip, but I got back home and started looking for a job. I had two interviews and got both jobs. Customer service at Teletech hired me on the spot but training didn't start until July 15th. So that gave me plenty of time to go to my next dr's appointment and do a second interview for a job with ManPower as a staffing specialist. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Prior to heading to Atlanta I also made a new friend online. He's Italian, from Pittsburgh and he's 45. So we went to Meadows casino and played slot machines and had dinner. He was really sweet. Nice guy and we've been attempting to hang out again, but circumstances keep getting in the way. He was sick for a little while and we had finally set another time to meet up, but he ended up having to help a friend move. Then we were going to hang the following wknd, but I had a mishap with my phone and I had to go get a new one making me like an hour and a half late, so we decided that we would get together the following Monday--his schedule is flexible. Or so it seemed--he had to work out of town Monday thru Wednesday. So we weren't able to hang again, but the plan is to see each other again soon. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">ManPower ended up calling me back the Friday before I was supposed to start the job with Teletech. I accepted because they were paying $4 an hour more and it just seemed more interesting than customer service. But I wasn't supposed to start until today actually--July 25! Our trainer was on vacation last week and needed to spend some time at her office in Huntington before coming to the Morgantown office this week. She pushed the start date back to Friday--tomorrow. So in the morning I will be back to the workforce! Special thanks to Julie Cooper for giving me such a great reference to help me get the job.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I have also started working out for the past month. I've only lost 3 or 4 lbs so far, but I walk 2X everyday and count my calories. I also do workouts I find on Youtube and then I use www.myfitnesspal.com to track everything. I just put the app on my phone. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">What else? I heard from the ex--He's doing really well with his business and finally living the life that he dreamed of. He sent me a Youtube video of a radio interview he participated in. It's short, but poignant. He says something at the end that I think everyone can learn from. Take a quick listen:</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"> I'm happy for him ultimately because if I carry any resentment or ill will for someone that was so important to me, then I wouldn't be genuine in how I claimed to feel about him and it would make it harder for me to find my own happiness! So Congratulations Lou! You're finally getting everything that you want! And I hope that we all get exactly what we dream of!</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Tuesday was a doctor day. Went in for my weekly blood work.Everything came back good! Then we went to Walmart and dropped off our recyclables and picked up a couple of concrete pavers Mom needed for her yard. I wanted to make the most of the day and do some window shopping so we headed to Goodwill and that Habitat for Hunanity place to see</span> </span>what they might have. I didn't find anything that I actually needed or really even wanted, but I always enjoy looking because you never know what you may find. It was a beautiful day and I sat doing some doodling on the porch.<br />
<br />
Wednesday I don't remember doing much of anything but watching the TV--exciting right?<br />
<br />
Thursday was another day with the TV. More exciting times! The weather was kinda gloomy so it makes you feel like just sitting in the house. <br />
<br />
And Friday was spent with the TV as well, Oh but I did find something else to do.I almost forgot that I discovered
all these refashioned t-shirts on pinterest and I attempted to make a
few creations. Two of them will be perfect for workout tanks and the
third one is a cool no-sew vest. When I wear them, I'll show you some pictures.<br />
<br />
Three days of just sitting around the house might make you think I wasn't feeling well, but I wasn't sick just feeling bored and lazy. I think I need another project to keep me busy. <br />
<br />
So Saturday came and I did do one project. I spray painted a planter green for the porch! Woo! Hoo! But again I spent a lot of the day on the couch. I went up to Mom's house to see what she was getting into in her yard and while I was up there, we took some pictures.<br />
<br />
Sunday was a WalMart day. After Gran returned from church and I finished getting dressed, we went to pick up some things so that we'd have some stuff for a Memorial Day BBQ. When we got back I prepped turkey burgers with spinach and feta. I made a pasta salad with tortellini, chickpeas, black olives, tomatoes, onions, artichoke hearts and delicious feta cheese. Tasty! I also cubed and marinated chicken for shish-kabobs. I also chopped up the onions and peppers to go on the skewers as well. After standing around the kitchen for a while, my back started to hurt and I took to the couch with my favorite friend, the TV.<br />
<br />
Today was spent at home too, but we had visitors. My Uncle Pearlie came by this morning with my Aunt Donna to pick up my Grandmother so that they could go visit the graves of my grandfather and Uncle Arthur. While they were gone, I finished assembling the shish-kabobs and Mom cooked up the baked beans and her cheesy grilled potatoes.Then she fired up the grill and got started on the meats. Gran, Pearlie and Donna returned and we sat around reminiscing on their childhoods and our neighbors and the crazy dogs that used to live up here and some of the crazy people who used to live up here. Then Uncle Jeffery came down and the stories continued. Everyone ate and we had a great time just hanging out. Then Pearlie, Donna and Jeffery headed home. So I stuffed my face again and then we got a visit from Linda. So we all sat and chit chatted for a while. When she headed home we watched a little reality TV and Mom finally headed home. So I'm sitting here writing this, watching The Newlyweds the first year, while Gran's getting shower. I'll try to do something productive tomorrow. Probably some laundry because chemo is Wednesday-the last one! Yay! And I probably won't feel like doing laundry for a few days after that.<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING...</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I'm feeling awesome. I've been a little bit bored, but I'm ready to get this last chemo session done and over with. Yay! Then we will see where we go from there. I'll have to get back to a regular life soon.. I just can't wait for my hair to start growing again. That's really going to be exciting for me. I'm ready to see what life back in WV is really going to be like. The prospect of me working again and actually trying to date here are not at the top of my list of fun, but hopefully the right job and the right man will enter my life.I know that God is steering the ship, so I don't have anything to worry about. Good things are coming my way. I'm gonna find a job that I love, that pays well and has a very flexible schedule. Woohoo! I can't wait to get started. And as far as the man goes, I'm excited to meet someone who's going to be a good friend, a great lover, a spiritual being and the exact match God's been holding for me. Oh and don't forget that trailer rehab project will be in the works once I get some money saved! And if I meet a good man maybe he'll be somewhat handy to help out with some of that renovation work. I'm in a forward thinking state of mind right now. I think I've gotten through the worst of it and I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. So I'm going to just speak the next good things into existence! I'm so thankful for my healing! God is good and I trusted and believed in him. We just have to remember that he loves us and to trust him to show us how much. He wants us to be happy! He puts these wonderful things on our heart and even when it seems as though it's never going to happen, he has a plan to bring us something even better than we had imagined--we just have to believe and to keep the faith. So thank Him and trust him to make your wildest dreams come true! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WEEKEND FUN!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span>Saturday was a good day. I decided that it was the day for me to wash my car. So I cleaned out the inside before heading to the car wash in Fairmont--well actually Bellview. I was planning to just vacuum it out and then manually wash. Well this became an ordeal. First all the vacuum hoses were taped up except for one. So I moved over to that one and quickly sucked up the dirt in the car. Now I can get the outside clean, right? So yeah these do it yourself machines usually take quarters and I had a couple of dollars worth, but I needed some change and had a $5 bill. No change machine. I walked all around that place and couldn't find one change machine. Well luckily they have automated car washes too, so I could just do that. I back out and move to one of those spots. Well the cheapest wash is $6. I put in my five and then I had to add the rest with my quarters, but the machine has a quarter jammed in the slot and I can't add the quarters. So I hit the refund button and get back quarters. I guess that became my change machine. So I had to move the car back over to the manual washing space. So alright that worked out right. Kinda annoying, but it worked. I decided to rinse the car first and then went to use the foam brush. Well no chance of that because it wasn't working! So I had to use this foam conditioner stuff that they had and rinsed that off. I then went and grabbed some lunch and went to the Family Dollar store. Oh and this was the second time I had taken the car out by myself. It's funny because I've gotten so used to being driven around now that it's a big deal if I go somewhere by myself. I got back home and about an hour later it started storming. So much for all my car washing efforts. But at least the inside is clean and fresh smelling! So we sat on the porch for a while and then we watched some TV before heading to bed. I watched a really cute moving on GMC called Trinity Goodheart. Check it out if you get a chance.<br />
<br />
Sunday Gran went to church as usual. Me and mom went to pick her up and after we got back, we went to the grocery store and picked up a pizza from Little Caesar's for dinner. I also grabbed some stuff to help unblock my ears. I got some wax buildup and I got some drops to help loosen it up. Wow! Exciting stuff. But on a good note, Gran's arthritis is doing much better and she could go without her cane. After we ate our pizza, we were sitting on the porch and both of us were falling to sleep. So we got up and walked up to my Mom's house and watched her work on setting up her yard. Then of course it was time to watch my Sunday reality shows. The finale of Married to Medicine was on and I had to watch the drama unfold. To be doctor's wives they have a lot of drama.<br />
<br />
Well this morning has been spent watching the Amish--well the ex-Amish on some show on National Geographic. I need to get up and dressed and do something productive with my day. I'll let you know if anything exciting happens!<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING?</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I feel really good. I'm very thankful for that too! I was watching a little bit of Oprah's Soul Series yesterday with Maya Angelou and she was talking about thanking God for everything. Little things and when things are bad thank Him because God loves you and ultimately wants the best for you. So you're upset that you lost your job, but you need to be thankful because you didn't like it anyway and God's going to open the door to a job that you like better and pays you better. There are all kinds of blessings that come to you in disguise of being something bad. Be thankful for it. Trust that God is working towards your best life. Having faith that he can create that for you is essential. God is everything and he has given me everything and I am very thankful for every moment. Good and bad because it all makes me who I am.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">IT'S BEEN A WEEK! LET'S CATCH UP!</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">FRIDAY THE 10TH:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So last Friday I don't really remember doing much of anything. I laid in the bed all day and it was kinda rainy out. Hence the reason for no blog. I was tired from low blood and I didn't really have much to talk about unless you guys wanted to hear about what I watched on TV. Lol!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">SATURDAY THE 11TH:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Saturday came around and I spent most of the day in bed again. My blood was low, so it makes you really tired. Mom and Gran needed to head to the store for some groceries for our Mother's day cookout. Shortly after they left, my brother and his family arrived! The rest of my evening was spent playing with my niece and catching up with him and his girlfriend. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">SUNDAY: MOTHER'S DAY:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I had a little more energy. After Mom took Gran to church, I got dressed and ready to head out to Cheat Lake to pick up Aunt Donna. I gave Mom her gift before we left. A gazing ball and pedestal for her yard and a solar light that went with it. She likes stuff for her yard. Plus I had gotten cards for all the Mom's-my grandmother and my aunt and my niece's mom. So we enjoyed BBQ steak, hot dogs, burgers, chicken, baked beans and macaroni salad. It was pretty brisk out from what it had been--only reaching 59 degrees. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">MONDAY THE 13TH:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I had another day of just relaxing. Gran stayed home from her usual early morning trip to Christian Help. We spent much of the day being entertained by the ball full of energy known as my niece, Tegan! She will keep you busy! Running from room to room. Reading stories, scribbling with crayons, tossing balloons, jumping on the bed, eating chocolate, playing monsters, tickling, watching five minutes of a dvd, playing games on Mommy's phone and whatever else she makes up as we go along. She keeps you entertained though. That is one certainty. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">TUESDAY THE 14TH: </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Another day of hanging with Tegan! I found out at the last minute that I had my lab work at 8am the next morning. They are really bad about letting you know about your appointments or changing them at the last minute. Whatever though. So that meant taking a bath that night, having my clothes laid out and going to bed a little earlier. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"> WEDNESDAY THE 15TH:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Early morning. We had to be at the hospital at 8:00am and it was of course a day where it just had to be crowded. I had to wait forever before they were able to get me back for my blood work. Then the poor nurse couldn't get my port to work. She had to ask someone else for help and she got it immediately! I think the other lady may not of had a lot of experience with ports. So then we go back to the exam room to meet with my doctor. He already knew that I was going to be tired because my blood was low and they were going to give me some more blood again! I had also been having some problems with a lot of mucus and I told him it has been kinda green and yellow. So he said it may be pneumonia and they sent me down immediately to have an x-ray. I had a little touch of it when I first got diagnosed. So my favorite nurses aid, Celeste walked me down to the x-ray center and they got me right in. It apparently didn't look bad, but to be on the safe side, he decided to prescribe an antibiotic. Then I went upstairs to get my blood. We had to wait for about 2 hours before it finally came. They mentioned that my blood work showed that my potassium and phosphorous were low and they were sending a prescription for that over to my pharmacy at WalMart. She also gave me some pamphlets on what to eat to increase my potassium and phosphorous levels. I got my blood finally, but that itself takes about 2 hours. They brought my next appointments to me, so I didn't need to check out when I left. We headed to Panera for lunch because by that time I was starving and I had forgotten to bring any snacks with me. Then we headed to Walmart to fill the prescription. The other one that was faxed over had to be ordered and wouldn't be in until the next day. I also grabbed a couple of groceries while there. Headed home expecting to see my niece, but they had went to her Grammie's house to go fishing in their pond. We hung out on our new porch most of the night with the citronella candles lit and just the quiet of the evening. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">THURSDAY THE 16TH:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So I should be feeling spry and ready to dance around the world since I've gotten some blood. Not exactly, but I do start feeling much better. Mom took Gran to her women's luncheon while I stayed home. I'd slept in since we had gotten up so early on Wednesday. I got showered and dressed. The pharmacy called to let me know that my prescription was ready. I had gotten sucked into a marathon of ANTM on the Style network and by the time I was getting ready to eat a little something, they returned. After eating some lunch, me and Mom headed back to WalMart, so I could get my prescription and pick up some gingerale--my current soda addiction. We got back and played with Tegan for a few before they got on the road headed back to North Carolina. Then we watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal later that night. Good TV!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">FRIDAY THE 17TH:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Today hasn't been very exciting. I ended up taking some benadryl last night at like 2 am, so I slept until almost 10 this morning. I just couldn't get up. I laid in bed most of the day. This time Million Dollar Listing NY sucked me into the TV. I finally broke free and took a shower. I ate some lunch and watched Days. Now I'm sitting on the new porch typing this up. I'm contemplating what color to paint my toe nails. It's such a beautiful day. It's 80 degrees and plenty of sunshine. I actually have on a skirt and tank top. I so appreciate the nice weather. I'm going to spend the rest of the evening out here enjoying the weather and reading a book. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WE'RE GETTING TO THE END!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span>I've been busy with the porch project and we're basically done, but I have to finish touching up the spray paint on our wicker coffee table.<br />
<br />
Sunday was all about arranging and rearranging the furniture until we got it just right. It was also Cinco De Mayo so in tribute, I made enchiladas with re-fried beans and chips and salsa. No margaritas! Hope someone had one for me!<br />
<br />
Monday I had to go pick up my prescription from the hospital because silly Walmart doesn't carry it. And I actually had to pay full price because my insurance doesn't cover it because it's considered an over the counter medication.Whatever! Then we finished getting our final needs for the porch. We exchanged the thin cushions for the thicker ones. We purchased spray paint in green for the coffee table. We purchased some blue spray paint for a white metal plant shelf that we were given. It's going to end up in the yard somewhere. No more room on the porch. We also purchased two rugs for the floor--one in a fluffy green by the little sofa and the other is a gray one that's more of an outdoor rug. We also purchased some hook screws so I could finish re-hanging Gran's wind chimes. I also added 4 green citronella candles to the room. When we got home, I gave one coat of paint to our wicker coffee table, but it needs another. It started raining and I had to bring it inside before the first coat even dried.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was a lazy day. I pretty much laid in bed watching television all day. It was raining out and I just felt tired so I took a few naps and just relaxed in the bed.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was chemo day! We were up at the crack of dawn! 8:00 am for my lab and we didn't get out of there until about 4pm. Not too bad of a day, but they were concerned about my blood counts and think that they are going to have to give me more blood next week. It was just where it needed to be, so that I could go ahead and have the chemo, but since the chemo depletes your blood counts even more, they think I will need more blood next week. I slept through most of my chemo session And after we left we had to wait around for my prescription. We ended up at Walmart and I grabbed a few things while we were there. <br />
<br />
This morning, I had to get up early again. I had to get my follow up shot at 9:00 am. They were pretty quick today and we were out of there in about 40 minutes. It was raining while were drove home and I was in dire need of clean clothes, so when we got back I headed to the basement with my laundry. That's what I've been doing since getting home. I will probably work on finishing up my porch project tomorrow if it finally stops raining. I will show you guys the pictures of the final product. It's already so much more comfortable. It's got a fresh look! Oh and looking forward to seeing my niece this weekend. They'll be here for Mother's day because my brother is going to an auction on the 14th to buy some land up here so they decided that they would come up a few days early.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING...</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I'm feeling good, but just a little bit tired. I napped a lot the past few days including today. I'm going to stay positive and just relax for a few days. I hopefully won't feel too bad, but if I take it easy then I should be fine. I'm feeling very good about my progress and I'm ready to get back to regular life. I guess I'll be back to working soon enough. Fun! Just gotta find something. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm very thankful for all my blessings and I'm just going to share an email I received about being thankful. Some of you may have already seen it, but that's how I'm feeling right now:</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">TRYING TO STAY BUSY, BUSY, BUSY...</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Hey! It's me! I've been seriously slacking on writing this blog!I've been busy working on the redo Gran's porch project. Let me catch you up!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So last <b>Sunday </b>wasn't the best day for painting. My porch painting was going to have to wait. Mom on the other hand decided to finish the wall on the side of the porch where the entrance is. I guess they had run out of material for the wall when they put up some new walls a couple of years ago and they just left it open. So my Mom decided to grab some scrap wood she had and pieced it together to fill in the wall. I on the other hand cooked dinner--chicken and broccoli alfredo with garlic toast. Then we went to pick up Gran from church. They were having some special ceremony that was a memorial for miners that had died in the mines in Everttsville. So she was there a lot later than usual but came home with leftovers from their meal--sandwiches, chips and dessert.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">On <b>Monday</b> Mom finished up the trim work on her new wall. I was supposed to be meeting up with my friend Nicole later that day. She was in Waynesburg, PA to visit her family for a week. She had arrived on either Tuesday or Wednesday and we were going to make plans to hang out while she was in town. She lives all the way in California and only comes back to the East Coast every so often. She had to cancel on Monday and Tuesday but we ended up hanging out on Wednesday before she flew back home. I was waiting around for my prescription that the pharmacy had to order. They finally called late that evening that it had come in. I had been waiting since Thursday. The weather was supposed to be really good on Tuesday, but it ended up being just as nice on Monday so I started painting the porch in all white. </span></span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was our first coat of paint. Some of the walls were a faux red brick color with this lovely mint green ceiling! The white is so much better! So much brighter and an easy neutral to match everything.</td></tr>

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Tuesday</b> arrived and we had put one whole coat on the walls minus the ones that were already white and the ceiling, so we knew that we would need another bucket of paint. So we headed out to WalMart for my prescription, some more paint, more caulk, smaller rollers for cutting in and I also purchased little solar lights to line the pathway down to the house. When we got back it was time to go to work again. I also started my spray painting projects. I painted two wire shelves that Gran uses for plants and other little knick-knacks a nice bright green color. Mom rolled the ceiling with one coat of white paint to somewhat cover the mint green color it was painted. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Wednesday</b> came and it was time to see the doctor again. We had a 8:30 appointment for lab work and then my bone hardener shot at 9:30. Of course my shot took twenty years to get going when it only takes but 5 minutes for them to give it to me. This time they had to track down my doctor to authorize my shot before they gave it to me. You would think that they would already have this taken care of, but they didn't even let me know that I had any appointments. I had to call on Tuesday to double check. My last visit, the nurse stated that she was going to send my appointments out to me and that they were going to send my prescriptions over for their refill. She forgot to do both. I had to call about the prescriptions and I had to call to check when my next appointments were. I guess they just get too busy. So we stopped and grabbed some black spray paint that I needed for the patio table and the rocking sofa on the porch. I did a little bit of spray painting before Nicole arrived. We went to Gabes and met up with her friend Blue for lunch at Kegler's Sports Bar over near the hospital. It was good to see her because it had been about a year. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Thursdsay</b> Gran went to the doctor and when she got back me and Mom worked on patching the concrete floor of the porch and let it dry overnight. It was a patching product that comes in a big bucket and you just mix it with water. That was the biggest thing happening that day--oh and of course we had to watch Scandal.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Friday </b>was a full day too. We went to run errands early. Before we left, Mom said she some cows roaming up towards the woods by her house! She said that she thought it was a bear at first. It was big and black and some of our neighbors claimed that they had seen a black bear out here. (The black bear is our state animal, but I've never seen one. Thank God.) Turns out that it was just a couple of cows--one black and one brown. We don't know who they belonged to or how they ended up over here. Craziness! So we headed to town so Gran could go to the bank and the post office. Then we headed to the grocery store. We went to WalMart for new patio chair cushions and I also filled a couple of prescriptions. I also found a storage bin solution for our recyclables. I needed more black spray paint and we got some stuff to try and rid ourselves of the carpenter bees outside the porch door. We went to the Dollar Tree too. When we got back we ate and watched a little bit of Days before getting back to work. Mom actually headed to go clean the church and I finished painting the rocking sofa and was going to start the patio table, but couldn't figure out how to remove the glass. So instead of working on that, I moved all the stuff off the porch except for a chair and a box of books that would have been way too heavy for me to lift. Besides most of the heavy stuff was outside where I had been spray painting anyway. When Mom returned, we ended up having to take apart the table to get the glass out. I started painting the pieces and realized that I would need some more spray paint. Then we started painting the floor a light gray color. We left a pathway unpainted, but Mom finished it and then laid some boards on top for us to walk on if we needed to get out. I got reprimanded for doing too much and was told that I needed to rest--so I did.</span></span><br />

It was nice to get out on my own today. I went to Big Lots, WalMart and the Dollar Tree. I also bought my Mom her Mother's day gift since she wasn't with me. So I got back and ate some lunch and started spray painting again. Mom says the porch floor is almost dry, so we should be able to set things back up tonight. I'll have to show you guys the pictures of the final product soon!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"> <span style="color: black;">I haven't exactly been getting dolled up-been busy painting, but I actually had on clothes that matched and didn't have paint dripped all over them yesterday. I've been bad about remembering to snap a photo when I do actually look nice, but anyways here's a video of my outfit from yesterday:</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Great! I'm excited that chemo is almost over. I feel really good physically. I'm glad to see that we're having nicer weather. I'm excited that my brother, Candace and my niece are coming to visit for Mother's day. I'm glad that I had a chance to see my old friend Nicole this past week. Glad that I got to talk to Nekima and hear that she has good things going on for her. It was good to see my Grandmother get some new medicine to help ease some of her arthritis pain. It feels good to have the porch to work on and just gets me excited for when I get involved in my own renovations. I'm feeling great! I hope that everyone else is catching Spring Fever and feeling great too. Soak up some sunshine and get outside! Enjoy all the beauty that nature has to offer. God made such a beautiful world and we seem to take it for granted sometimes. Flowers, sunsets, birds or even the deer can be the just the beauty that you needed to see. Even if you have no plans on going outdoors--just not your thing--get some fresh flowers and put them in the room you spend the majority of your time in. They're gonna make you feel great every time you see them. A bright reminder that life is beautiful and you have to take a moment to truly enjoy it and all it has to offer. So here's a bouquet for you:</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;">SO WE'RE BACK TO WARM WEATHER!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So Thursday came and it was pretty uneventful. To the point where I couldn't remember what I had done all day. I just asked Mom and Gran and they couldn't remember at first either. We pieced it together though!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Mom was doing yard work most of the day and Gran was baking cakes and pies. I laid around watching TV and then later that evening we went to get some gas for Mom's truck and we went to Walmart for a few grocery items that Gran needed. We would have left earlier, but we were waiting on my prescriptions to be ready and of course they didn't call until after we got home. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So Friday came and I knew I would have to pick up my prescription and possibly meet up with my friend Nicole, but we decided to get together on Monday instead. She's in town for a week to visit her family and is going stop through Morgantown on her way back from Maryland to PA. Someone my own age!!! Love Mom and Gran but it would be nice to hang with some of my peers. </span></span>So I did a cancer cutie outfit finally! Complete with wig and makeup! Then me and Mom headed to WalMart for my medicine and of course they only had one ready and said they had to order the other one. They said that they expected it to be in today and of course it didn't come in! Maybe tomorrow. While we were there, we picked up some stuff to make dinner for Sunday. I decided on chicken and broccoli alfredo with garlic toast. We will see how it turns out. I haven't made it in a while.<br />
<br />
So Saturday is here! I laid around till late as usual. When I decided to venture out the house, Mom and Gran were engrossed in cleaning up the porch and rearranging the furniture. I was looking at the walls and thought that they could use some more paint, so as we began discussing painting and rearranging things, a project emerged! We're going to paint all the walls on the porch white. We're going to patch the cracks in the concrete floor and then paint it a gray color. I'm going to give some of our shelving a fresh look with a coat of green spray paint. I'll have to take some before and after pictures and show you the difference once it's done. So we took a trip to Lowe's and picked up the supplies we-roller and paint tray paints and patching material. When we got back I was ready to get started, but decided it was a little too late in the day and I just moved things off the walls so that I won't have to worry about it tomorrow. (Gran has an extensive collection of wind chimes that hang on the porch.)<br />
<br />
So tomorrow I will be a painting machine!--Plus I guess I have to take some time out of that to cook dinner!<br />
Busy busy day coming up!<br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I'm happy! I'm feeling great! I literally feel good. I've got energy and I'm eating much better too.<span style="color: magenta;"> <span style="color: black;">Sometimes you just have to take it day by day. I feel like if you just trust and believe that everything is going to be okay, then eventually it will be. Faith--you have to have it. So when things seem awful keep, telling yourself that everything </span></span></span></span>is going to be okay. Keep saying it even when you don't believe it, Everything keeps showing up that points to everything staying awful, but you keep the faith and keep telling yourself that it's going to turn around. Don't dwell on it. Distract yourself with something and just keep believing that everything is going to work out. It eventually will. God works on his own time. We just have to develop the kind of Faith that involves infinite patience. We need to trust that we are loved and God wants nothing but the best for us and will bring us to whatever it is that we truly need. So what have you been worrying about? Stop give it to God and trust that he's going to handle the situation so that you get the best outcome. Trust Him. Keep Faith! Hope your happy shows up soon.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">LET ME CATCH YOU UP AND GIVE YOU THE GOOD NEWS!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Looks like Friday was the last time I posted anything. Well I have to say, the weekend was pretty uneventful. I didn't leave the house at all. Saturday I wasn't feeling too hot and had a throwing up incident, so I spend most of the day laying around watching TV. I didn't even leave my bed for the living room. So my Mom sat a chair in the room with me and kept me company while we watched TV-- a marathon of Love it or List it on HGTV.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Sunday came and I was anticipating a more active day, but still one that I spent in the house. I was thinking about taking a shower, when my cousin Neisa knocked at the door with her little baby. She had come to visit because she is moving to Louisiana with her boyfriend this coming weekend. Her mother moved down there earlier this year, so she's going to have a new start and better job opportunities for her boyfriend. It was good to see her and her son, Nikor? I'm pretty sure that I spelled his name incorrectly--so if anyone knows the correct spelling forgive me and correct me! She spent the day with us and he was so cute. We were trying to get him to walk. He's so strong and boy is he a little squealer. If he doesn't get his way, then he sure does go to squealing. Babies are too cute.Best of luck to Neisa and her new little family as they embark on their journe I had hoped to see my other cousin, her brother this past weekend too, but he wasn't able to make it out to the house before he had to head back to college.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So Monday rolls around and it's the day before my Grandma's birthday. We needed to get the present shopping done and pick up groceries for the cookout. Me and Mom made our list and called Aunt Donna to check on what time to pick her up on Tuesday. Gran got home from her church event and we headed out to shop.We accomplished everything with 3 stores. Jcpenney's for Gran's favorite sneakers--white Reebok classic Princess sneakers. I had found them online first, so I knew they had them. Easy breezy and I even resisted the $2 clearance rack right by the checkout. Then we headed to the Dollar tree for inexpensive decorations and plates. Lots of balloons, streamers, two signs and these fun seat covers for Uncle Jeff and Gran since we were technically celebrating both b-days. The seat covers didn't fit! Boo hoo! Then onto Walmart for the groceries. </span></span><br />
<br />
Not only was Monday our shopping day, but it was the day the<b> Dog went back Home</b>! Uncle Jeff had received a dog from one of his buddies after celebrating his bday with them this weekend. I hadn't left the house so I didn't see it until Monday, but he called Gran about it and for some reason she thought it was a poodle. It was apparently small and kept yapping. Well he was barricaded on the porch, but on Monday he found a way to break free and decided he was going after my Mom. She discovered that he was no poodle, but was in fact an obnoxious chihuaha who decided that he was going to eat my Mom for breakfast. He wouldn't let her out the yard with his snarling and trying to nip at her feet. She had to hop in her truck and drive down to avoid further contact. When she went back home, he tried for her again and attempted a sneak attack from behind. She had to kick him away from her.I'm having a good time laughing at her when she tells me all this because I figure she's scared and this little dog is just picking up on it and they're already aggressive. Wrong!!! When we left to go shopping, that crazy little dog was outside with my Uncle as he was mowing the lawn on his riding mower. As soon as he saw me come out the door he looked our way and started barking and immediately charged across the road. My uncle's screaming at him to come back and my Mom's yelling and I'm just trying to get up the pathway to the car. My Mom shakes the shovel out at him as he's about to pass the porch and scares the crap out of him. So he retreats, but keeps barking the whole time. Uncle Jeff declares that he's taking the dog home as soon as he finishes with the yard. Crazy little dog. One of those stupid chihuaha's bit me on the butt when I was a little kid, so I've never really been a fan ever since. I think they have the short man complex.<br />
<br />
So Tuesday came and it was party time. Gran went to do her usual volunteer day at Christian Help which gave us just enough time to go pick up Donna decorate and cook everything but the meats, which Mom would throw on the grill once Gran got home. She was surprised at the decorations and she enjoyed her gifts. She received at least 10 cards in the mail. She had gotten gifts from people she rides the bus with and her friends at Christian Help. Then Linda came by and ate and celebrated with us too. Uncle Jeff came down and ate a plate as well. Then we took Aunt Donna home and ran into some old neighbors. But last night we had to get to bed early because today started early!<br />

<br />
So today was my PET scan so that we could determine the progress of my chemo treatments! We arrived a half hour before the appointment like we were asked to.7:00 am! So I had to get up at 6:00. Plus, I couldn't eat or drink anything for at least 4 hours before hand.First they checked my blood sugar level and then she put in an IV instead of using my port. I was injected with the radioactive materials and left in the room to rest for 30 minutes while it worked through my system. Then I had to drink 3 jello drinks over the next 30 minutes. Then they send you to the bathroom and then scan you. Nothing too major for me and then we had an hour to kill before my lab work and my meeting with Dr. Monga to get the results of the scan. So we went to the McDonald's around the corner and I ate breakfast--food and drink! Yay!!!! The cancer center is crazy crowded when we get back and it takes for ever to get my blood drawn, but they don't really have any problems getting it today. She used the IV they had put in from the scan instead of accessing my port. I had to wait on a room to see Dr. Monga, but they came by pretty quick after we got back there. And they came with great news!<br />
<br />
<b>The chemo has been working and they think I only need 2 more sessions!!!!!</b><br />
Every area has improved--aside from my bones going to see about doing that other treatment for this issue.<br />
Some areas are not even active, but the lung area warrants the need for a little more treatment.<br />
They had originally thought I was going to need 4 more, so this is awesome! I can get back to normal sooner!<br />

So I am very, very thankful! Jesus is a healer and a miracle worker! I'm thankful to everyone who has prayed for me and sent kind thoughts or words my way! I'm thankful for every doctor and nurse I've encountered over there! I'm so happy! See maybe that positive thinking stuff really works, huh? I know it does and if you didn't-- believe it now!<br />
<br />Sorry we didn't take more pictures and I haven't really been keeping things as up to date as I would like, but hopefully that will be changing soon.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">It's been a few days since I checked in. So Wednesday I had chemo and oddly enough they didn't schedule it for the crack of dawn. We didn't have to be there until 11:00 am. They were quick with getting me in for my blood work and my port actually cooperated with no problems. Then we met with my doctor</span> </span>and he said my blood work looked good and they were ready to send me up for my chemo session. I had been feeling a little nauseous so I sucked down some gingerale and felt much better. I drink it everyday pretty much all throughout the day. So we got started and the benadryl put me to sleep like always. Mom took some pictures of me in my sleeping state:<br />

<br />
At the end of the day I checked with the nurses for my follow up appointment, but they hadn't set it yet. I always have a shot the day after chemo that does something for my white blood cell counts.They said to just call in the morning and when I did, they still hadn't scheduled it. I had to call three different times before I finally got an appointment for 1:00pm. They were relatively quick with getting me in and out. It was only about 30 minutes I spent there. Then we went to Walmart and grabbed a few things, plus we had to figure out some stuff with Gran's b-day gift.When we get back we eat and then take Gran down to church for choir practice. I was tired and Mom was tired. I hopped into bed around 9:30 and was ready to go with the sandman, but I watched project runway first.<br />
<br />
Now it's Friday--my uncle Jeffery's birthday! Happy B-day!<br />
I've gotten dressed, had breakfast and watched the coverage of the craziness going on in Boston.<br />
It's supposed to be a rainy day and much cooler than it has been, so I'll probably be inside most of the day.<br />

I don't really have one. I forgot to take pictures yesterday and you get a feel for my outfit from Wednesday. It was gray and black. We've been having gorgeous weather, but they really had the ac cranked up in there, so bundling up was necessary.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Not too shabby! I'm relaxing and just taking it day by day. I get tired sometimes and I have bouts of being queasy, but nothing too intense. I'm feeling pretty good. Staying positive. Thinking good thoughts. Speaking good thoughts and living good things. Expecting good things all the time. I suggest you do the same! And have an awesome weekend! Do something fun! Go have a beer for me!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">LAZY PAST COUPLE OF DAYS!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span>Monday we went shopping for a missing piece of our birthday gift to Gran with no success. Now we're going to change the idea slightly because of something she mentioned. We're going to get it together soon though. Tuesday will be here before you know it.<br />
<br />
Today started out with me staying in bed half the day, but once I got up and dressed--I decided to wash clothes. So that was a productive aspect of my day. I also picked some daffodils that sprouted up and put together two bouquets<br />
<br />
Watched some tv and the rain started up with lots of thunder and a little lightning. We're under a severe thunderstorm watch until 11:30 tonight and we could get some hail. Hopefully that won't happen. I haven't seen any! I actually enjoy the sound of the rain when it's time to go to sleep. It has a soothing effect. Water always seems to provide that calm and relaxed feeling. The sound of trickling water, a hot bath or shower, all make me think soothing and relaxing.<br />
<br />
I had to get my clothes and my activity bag together for tomorrow. We're going to try the chemo again tomorrow. Hopefully my blood is where it needs to be and we can get this next session over with so that we can get to my scan to see how much of the cancer we've melted away! I got a letter in the mail about how to prep for it. No food or drink 4 hrs beforehand. I have to be there at 7:00 am. I need to eat a light protein meal the evening before and I can't engage in exercise or any strenuous activity the day before or the day of. I have Gran's bday to celebrate the day before. I told her that we can't stay out late drinking since I have this early morning appointment! She was cool with that...LOL!<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING...</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I feel good. So much better than I had in the past few weeks. I've had more energy to do things. I still have moments with the nausea, but I've been staying on top of my medicine for that and it seems to be working. I'm excited about coming up with Gran's birthday gift and trying to give her something that will be a fun surprise. It's always rewarding to give to someone else. </span> </span>When you focus on someone else, you have the opportunity to forget about your own problems. That's one of the best ways to get yourself out of your personal pity party. Go do something good for someone else. I'm not doing any charity work--like my Grandmother does. By putting my energy into her birthday and focusing on what might make her happy, not only makes me feel good, but it's a great way to distract myself from worrying about my own problems. So the next time you're feeling like my life sucks or woe is me, take a moment and do something for someone else. It doesn't even have to involve money. You can spend some time with them. Maybe run an errand for a busy single mom. Call your Grandma who's lives alone and always says she misses everyone--she'd love to hear your voice I'm sure. Hand out food at a soup kitchen. Pay for the person behind you at the drive thru. Tell someone you love them--sometimes it's nice to be reminded that you care. Take a moment away from whatever is pulling you down and go lift someone else up because it's going to make a world of difference in not only how they feel, but how you feel!<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WE WENT SHOPPING TODAY!!!!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Yesterday I didn't do a whole lot. Just kinda hung around watching TV and only sat outside for a little while with Mom as she rearranged some things in her yard. It was colder than it has been yesterday so we didn't have as much incentive to hang outside and of course I slept in late, so it wasn't really ideal for her to stop her project and then go do some shopping that I wanted to do. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Today we planned to go out and about. Granny was at church and they had a birthday dinner for all the members who have a March or April birthday afterwards. We were out looking for her birthday gifts. Ssssshhhhh! Don't let her know that! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So we hit up my favorite place--Gabes!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I got some goodies for me too!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Then we headed to Big Lots--while we were there the police were meeting with the store manager. Apparently someone tried to steal some stuff before we got there. Of all places to steal some stuff--the discount store--Big Lots! Really people!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">WalMart always makes the list, because they have everything.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Then back to Gabes and a last stop at Kmart before heading home. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Dinner is leftover veggie and ground turkey lasagna. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Watched my Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Part 2</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Watched Mom unclog the toilet and then I settled down to write tonight's blog.</span></span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gabes finds are the three tank tops--pink, white, and black. The sneakers and the sweater are from Kmart The sneakers were $10 and the black tank top was a little more than $3--a whole $4! My sneakers were only $10 since they're such a bright and specific color. But I liked them and needed another pair of sneakers. The black striped sweater kept my $3 streak going! It's thin and will be perfect to wear over a basic tank top.</td></tr>

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Dream: </b>Keep dreaming big! We've had the lesson before right! So think of your biggest wildest dreams! Keep them in the front of your mind. No matter how outrageous they seem--if you want them to come true, trust that God will bring them to fruition.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Dance: </b>Is a form of celebration! Celebrate something. Get up and shake your booty! Wave your hands in the air.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Love: </b>Well it's what truly makes the world go round! It's the greatest emotion we can ever have and it's so powerful. It conquers everything. Remember that God is love! He is pure unconditional love and he shares that with us. Pass it on to someone else. I think that to show God love, we have to show all of our brothers and sisters love. Don't let little things get in the way of love! Spread it everywhere you go!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WHAT'S BEEN UP SINCE LAST TIME?</span><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">It's been a few days since I've given an update. I guess I haven't done too much since my last blog. I have tried to spend time outside, since we have been having great weather all week. I've been sleeping in really late too, so I only leave so much time in the day. Wednesday I didn't go anywhere, but I did bask in the sunshine. Yesterday I did go to WalMart to refill a prescription and browse the gardening section. Then I had to prepare for this morning's early doctor appointments. 8 am labwork and today was Chemo day!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">No such luck-chuck! They said my blood wasn't right and I had to get another 2 pints of blood today instead of getting chemo. Those only take a total of 2 hrs instead of my usual 4</span></span>.5 for the chemo session. It didn't make much difference though. We had to wait 2 hrs for the blood to even show up! Even the nurse was getting frustrated. But it finally came and I got my new burst of energy. I guess I had been feeling lethargic because my blood levels were low again. I have a lot more energy now. I have a new supplement now too. I have to start taking at 1000mg of calcium with vitamin D daily. The bone hardener I take has some funky effect on my calcium levels. Once we left the hospital, we went to go pick up the new supplement and some more gingerale. I also had a McDonald's craving and grabbed a cheeseburger and small fry. It hit the spot.<br />
<br />
Once we got home, dinner was ready and the TV beckoned us. Long day of just sitting. It really can tire you out. Especially, when you get up at 7:00 am after sleeping until 9:30 or 10 everyday. We didn't even take any pictures today.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING...</span></h2>
I'm feeling much better physically. I always feel good mentally! I love life! My grandmother just gave me a few words of wisdom before she went to bed. It's a blessing everyday that we wake up.I sure we've all heard that one before, but it's something that you don't think that deeply about. Each day is another opportunity to enjoy living. The simple little pleasures. Just absorb it. Soak it up. That sunshine. The laughter you share. The delicious meal. There are so many amazing things to experience in life, but we get too bogged down with living for money and stuff instead of just enjoying the little stuff. The free stuff that life gives to you if you just take the time to enjoy it. Take time to enjoy those little moments of joy that come free of charge. Let me know what free moment of joy you experienced today. Just think about it--I know you have at least one moment.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">It was 82 degrees today! The sun was out and it was beautiful. I spent a lot of it just sitting outside. I did watch some TV, but I made sure to get out in the sunshine too!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Every spring Mom and Gran spray their houses with insecticides to keep the bugs out. Wasps were apparently building a nest outside my bedroom window and they were getting inside the house. They freak me out and since it's been getting warmer, they've been trying to make their way inside. So while she sprayed Gran's house, I headed to her house with the neighborhood cat--Midnight. He apparently roams from house to house when the weather gets nice, but we think he belongs to one of our neighbors nearby. I had the pleasure of watching him wash himself as we sat on the porch and I played on my phone. </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwhCo0tNZrMhQ2i6aQQWayhL-0uEBoI2uF5Fit51a8ulP-sfb73-D3HkdPjDnBeMIDyMHebJzUYm7S30vir' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span>Fascinating, right? I've contributed to the plethora of cat videos flooding the internet and it wasn't even funny! The sun decided to hide itself behind the trees and the clouds, so I decided to go inside and watch some TV. My Mom doesn't put much value into cable TV and so she has limited channels and I ended up watching the Maury show! Shame on me--I should have been watching PBS or one of the Christian channels, but it was funny to check them out. Today actually wasn't a paternity test episode, but instead it was lie detector tests for the cheaters. I mean he only has those two types of shows--cheaters or paternity tests. I feel bad for the people who go on those kinds of shows.<br />
<br />
So then we got a call from a family friend and one of my grandmother's fellow church members. He needed a ride to see about his truck that's getting fixed. Mom was going to take him in her truck, but since I wanted to tag along, we took my car. It's always nice to take a ride and be out and about when the weather is nice.<br />
<br />
Lunchtime--spaghetti, salad and garlic bread leftover from yesterday.<br />
<br />
Soap opera time--Days of our Lives. We missed General Hospital.<br />
<br />
Back outside to check the mail and the cat followed. Then I sat outside for a little bit trying to soak up the sun and took a few pictures. Back to the TV--game show hour: Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune.<br />
<br />
Now I'm relaxing in bed writing this blog.<br />

<h2>
Be open to change </h2>
I thought that cats were awful because I had a bad experience as a kid with one attacking me. I've carried disdain for the feline species ever since. I'm not saying that I'm going to run out and buy a cat, but maybe they aren't the evil little creatures I thought that they were. Midnight was very sweet and kinda cute. Sometimes we have a tendency to let one experience shape our whole perception of something and we end up carrying a prejudice that isn't truly founded. Be open to changing your mind--sometimes we just need to let go of the past.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">SUNNY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">We've been enjoying a gorgeous weekend. Weather in the 60's! So we spent a lot of time outside today and yesterday.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Saturday we went grocery shopping and grabbed a couple things from Lowe's--plus we were looking at bathroom stuff for Gran's pending re-do. So it was nice to be out and about in the sunshine. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Today I stayed in bed a long time. I watched some documentary about a serial killer that was like 2 hrs long before I got dressed today. Then I went outside and walked around. Then me and Mom decided to start demolishing a tree stump in Gran's yard. I took a few swings and was able to take a chunk off myself. Mom really chipped away at most of it and a little chunk remains.</span></span><br />

<br />
Then I just wanted to get out and about again today. So we went to WalMart so Mom could pay a bill and we browsed the garden section while there. Then we went to Wendy's and Dairy Queen. Strawberry Cheesequake really hit the spot! Yummy!<br />
<br />
By the time we get home, it's decided to start raining--so the rest of the evening is spent on my favorite past time--TV! Gotta check out the Real Housewives of Atlanta of course. Then Married to Medicine. Who doesn't love a bunch of bitchy housewives!<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I feel really good. I've been enjoying this weather. It just brightens your day to wake up and see the sun shining. I took a peek at Super Soul Sunday today and one of my favorite preachers was on there--Joel Osteen. The message was to dream big! I love that message. I mean we should talk big and think great things about our lives. Even if you don't believe it at first, you should speak things into your life that you want until it becomes your reality. And if you're in God's favor and he loves you, then you deserve the absolute best--so you should expect to get nothing less than that. Dream Big! Keep imagining your life the way you would have it in your wildest dreams. Then talk about it. Pray about it. Think about it. See it in your mind. Then repeat until it shows up. You have to vision though. Dream! Don't put limits on yourself. You deserve to be in God's favor. He can provide everything and anything. Trust in that and start dreaming!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">NOT MUCH MORE EXCITING</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> <span style="color: black;">One big change today--the weather was so much better. The sun was out and it was much warmer than it had been. Yeah! </span> </span>So I made sure that I had some time outside today!<br />
<br />
I slept in late, but the extra rest is good for me. I even took a little nap after my shower. It always seems to take a lot of my energy for some reason. <br />
<br />
I found Mom outside trimming back sticker bushes and making things look a little neater above my Grandma's house where we park our cars.<br />
<br />
I ate some turkey soup my grandmother made and leaned back for some of my usual TV watching. I decided to break the norm and went outside to gather up some daffodils and put in a vase for the living room. Then I went and chatted with Mom while she was straightening up stuff in her yard.<br />
<br />
Then we came back and watched some flea market flip before I decided to work on the blog.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow may be a little better--we're going to the grocery store! Wild and crazy times right? LOL!<br />

So I'm still taking my time to smell the roses-per say and I'm sharing that gift with others. Truly take some time for yourself this weekend. Sleep a little later. Eat the dessert! Buy those shoes. Turn off the phone and open that book you've been meaning to read. Just take a little time for you and whatever it is that you like to do. Share the message. Encourage others to do the same. If you take time for yourself, you feel better and you in turn are better. You're a little nicer, you're more open to laughing and you're more of a joy to be around. So take a little extra time for you and then go be a better friend, parent, child, sibling--you! So I command you to go do you and have fun!<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">NOTHING EXCITING</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I truly had a pretty boring day today. I woke up feeling good. I said my prayers and ate breakfast. Still not having any nausea--yay! Mom had to take Gran to her doctor's appointment so it was just me at the house until early afternoon. I got dressed--truly got dressed today--not just my WVU gear that I layer on to keep warm. It was definitely warmer today but I only went outside a couple times. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Today I literally sat on the couch watching TV--one time I laid down because I thought I needed a nap, but couldn't fall asleep. Not feeling sick and I still spent my day on the couch with the TV. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Shame on me--so I have to do something a little more productive tomorrow. I cracked a lot of jokes with my Mom and Gran and so we spent a lot of the day laughing. Laughter is supposed to be good medicine! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">We watched Grey's Anatomy--which now that I watch Scandal, I've gotten into this show too. It comes on right before Scandal and Mom and Gran watch it. Crazy drama--Scandal is full of twists and turns and always has you guessing. It's a great show if you don't already watch it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I haven't even been cooking. Man! I have to find something interesting to do this weekend--we're going to have awesome weather! We may even reach the 70's next week! That would be something to get excited about! I'm ready for the sunshine and less clothing! So hopefully tomorrow will bring you a much more interesting blog entry! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"> HOW I'M FEELING...</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I'm feeling awesome compared to how I had been feeling! I can eat and I have energy again. I just wish that I had spent today in a more productive manner. I could have been working on art projects or writing if I wasn't going to do something around the house, but I guess sometimes we can do nothing and have it be okay. We live in a society that praises being busy and multitasking. Sometimes that pace is just too much. Sometimes we need a minute to just take a break from the lists of tasks. Sometimes we need a break from our social obligations. Sometimes we need to turn off the electronics. Sometimes we just need to watch a movie with the people we love and laugh a little. When was the last time you took the time to do that. To turn off the phone. close the laptop and take a day to just spend doing whatever you want. Sleep in, eat something fattening, have a late lunch with a friend and laugh about old times. Take a bath in the middle of the afternoon. Go outside and soak up the sun. We have been trained to think that we always have to be doing something and guess what it's simply not true! Take a moment and just enjoy the simple things. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">HAPPY WEDNESDAY!</span></h2>
Catch up from the weekend...<br />
Monday was fun day with my niece, Tegan. Boy oh boy--she is a ball of energy and she wore me out! It was great to see her and my brother and Candace. She's so smart, but she was a wild child. I couldn't keep up and before I knew it, I was ready for bed. LOL! Love my little Tegan!<br />
<br />
Tuesday, Tegan and her Mom and Dad headed home to NC. Me and Mom headed out to take Gran to the dentist for an emergency appointment. She was having some pain and turns out she needed a root canal. Poor Granny!!! I on the other hand was feeling much better. No more throwing up--tons more energy than I had. I guess the chemo effects have started to wear off. So I have to enjoy it as much as I can before my next round the end of next week.<br />
<br />
Today has been pretty good too. I went to my doctor appointment for my bone hardener shot. We get there 15 minutes beforehand and of course we end up waiting almost an hour before I get a shot that takes 5 minutes to administer. It's kinda silly that I had to sit there that long, but whatever. You never know what you're going to get when it comes to the doctor's office. It can be a long wait.<br />
<br />
Weather update<br />
We know that I'm notorious for complaining about the weather here. Still adjusting to living up North again!<br />
Well, the weather wasn't great today or anything--that wind was whipping and that's what really makes it feel cold. Plus tonight it's supposed to get down into the 20s! It's April! But--we are expecting better weather as the week progresses!<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span>So much better! I'm able to eat again without feeling like it's just gonna come back up a few hours later. I've had a lot more energy. When you have a niece like mine, you can't just lay around--you gotta be a least a little bit active. We had fun walking around outside--blowing bubbles--playing monsters and anything else we could make up. I tell you, I feel like there is a lot of value in spending time with the little ones. They have more recently come from God and their perspective on things is so different than an adult's view. Things are so simple for them. The smallest stuff can make them happy! They laugh all the time. They have all this energy. They are open to trying new things. They're flexible. They have so many qualities that we can all learn from. So if you have access to a little one take a moment to really observe how their simple innocence can truly be inspiring.<br />
Love the little kids and learn a lot...<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Friday afternoon me and Mom went shopping! We went to WalMart, Dollar Tree and Gabes, so that I could get a few more things to finish off my little Easter gifts and pick up my prescription refills. Things were going fine and then I started feeling nauseous. By the time we got home I was running to the restroom! Uuugh! I really wasn't feeling that, so I laid down after that and rested. </span> </span>So no blogging.<br />
<br />
My brother and his family arrived late on Friday night so they went straight to my Mom's house and I saw them Saturday afternoon. My niece is a ball of energy and so much fun! So we played until they went to her other Grandma's house to celebrate Easter. <br />

<br />
While they were gone--I put together my Easter gifts and watched the most graphic parts of the Passion of the Christ. It was too much and I got nauseous again. No more puking! Please! I felt much better after and finished putting my gifts together. Then we dyed Easter Eggs. Which was actually a lot of fun. I hadn't done it in years and my Grandmother was cracking me up! She was so excited about how the little shrink wraps for the eggs worked! We had a good time just goofing off and being silly! Then we pretty much headed to bed after that. So another night of skipping the blog--sorry guys!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>EASTER SUNDAY</b><br />
So I get up with the debate battling in my head--go to church or stay home. I was up and dressed in time, but I decided not to go. I don't know my aversion to going to church, but it just doesn't feel like something I need to do. I think church is perfect for fellowship and if you're not proactive, then it can help deepen your knowledge of the Word. I haven't been to church in so long, I almost don't know if I'd remember how to act. I'm going to go one day though! One day...!<b> </b><br />
Anyway I went with Mom to pick up Aunt Donna out in Cheat Lake--I wish she lived closer--so we could see her more often!<br />
She was telling us all about her neighborhood drama and why she's not going to be friends with some of her neighbors anymore. Too bad!<br />
When we get back I slice up the meats and start heating up our meal while Mom goes to pick Gran up from church.<br />
<br />
Dinner consisted of :<br />
Pineapple encrusted Hams--two small ones<br />
Turkey breast and stuffing<br />
Homemade Baked Macaroni and cheese<br />
Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows<br />
Kale Greens<br />
Green Beans<br />
Homemade rolls with butter<br />
<br />
I actually ate twice and didn't get sick once!!!!<br />
<br />
We had so much fun with my Niece and all her Easter Goodies. I actually got a lot for Easter myself--both Gran and Aunt Donna got me loaded ($) Easter cards and candy.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">NO POWER LITERALLY AND FIGURATELY</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">When I woke up Monday morning we had about 3 inches of heavy wet snow blanketing everything and it was apparently heavy enough to snap a power line or cause a tree to fall and snap the power line. So we didn't have power until late that evening and I hadn't felt too great that day. I stayed under the covers on the couch all day and figured I'd fill you guys in on Tuesday. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So Tuesday rolls around and I feel crappy again. More laying on the couch under the blanket and watching TV. It took me half the day to bathe and I didn't feel like putting on anything worthy enough to be a part of the Cancer Cutie Outfit of the day. So we took no pictures and I fell asleep early. We had a follow up at the doctor the next day.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Wednesday came and I was all ready to have a good day. We were going to the store after I left the doctor and I could finish getting my little Easter gifts. Well the day didn't turn out the way I thought it would. I took my medicine and I just wasn't feeling like food was a good idea, so I decided I would drink an Ensure high protein drink. Everything was fine until my stomach started churning. The Ensure didn't want to stay down so I let it come back up. Uuugh! I was going to have to go to the doctor anyway, so I took a moment and got showered and dressed. We were of course at the hospital a long time. I had my lab work done and my port actually worked without too much hassle. Then we sat and waited to meet with Dr. Monga. I explained that this last chemo session had taken a toll on me and he said to take it easy--drink lots of fluids and keep taking my nausea medicine. He said that my lungs sound really good and that after this next chemo session, we're going to take a scan so that we can see what are progress is and how we will continue with treatment from there. Hopefully I've been feeling all crappy because it's working and maybe it will be all gone by this next session! Positive thinking!!!! Speak your reality into existence!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So here we are at Thursday!I started my day off with a concerned phone call from Gerald on the landline and I figured I better update the blog and charge my cell phone. Sorry if you've been trying to reach me! I have been able to eat today and no real nausea issues--taking the medication 3 times a day so that's helping. But the strangest thing did happen--my hands started itching and I assumed that they were dry and needed some lotion. So I put on some lotion and they kept itching. In fact it got more intense and it wouldn't stop. I think scrambled to find some hydrocortisone--I have eczema so I always have some around. That made it worse and my hands were burning and I started freaking out. </span></span>My grandmother said to wash the lotion off and called my Mom. I was able to rinse my hands with cold water to ease the burning sensation and then my Grandma gave me and ice pack to put on my hands. It helped to soothe the burning and Mom wanted to know if I wanted to call the nurses number or go to the hospital. I just let it run it's course. The ice pack helped. I showered and got dressed and took a quick nap. I even ate a taco for lunch. My hands are a little itchy, but nothing like what was going on this morning--Thank God!<br />
<br />
So I figured that I had better give everyone an update since I've been MIA. I hope everyone is doing well and that everyone has great plans for their Easter weekend. Hopefully you will get to hear all about mine this weekend because I'm going to be feeling great! I'm speaking it into existence. My niece should be here tomorrow, so I have to be feeling good to keep up with her!<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">I DIDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE TODAY!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span>I stayed on the couch today. My bones were sore-which is a side effect of the shot I received yesterday. It's all good though. Mom made me breakfast. They've been on my case about not eating enough. I was eating like little miss piggy, but now I don't have nearly as much of an appetite since I'm off the steroid. I laid around watching TV today. That seems to be a big part of most of my days. I have to get out of that rut. But we again had some funky weather for it to be spring! The wintry mix poured down and covered the grass in snow and made everything outside wet and gloomy looking. Gotta love it. I'm ready for that to change. I need to start writing again and working on our art projects. My number one focus is to be healthy but I think that both of those things are good outlets to keep me distracted from worry and stress. It makes no sense to sit and dwell on how bad I feel or why is this happening and what not. TV is a good distraction too, but it's just not the most productive. I'm gonna get back on track.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">TODAY IS A NEW DAY 3-23-13</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Yesterday was chemo day. I had to be there at 8:00 am for my labwork. Well I slept in a little longer than I was supposed to. It's a good thing that I had taken my bath the night before and already had my clothes picked out. I had activity stuff packed, but Mom had to add in some snacks. We made it on time regardless.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So we couldn't get my port to work and give them any blood, so they had to do it manually. She got it on the first try too. Then they had to do a special flush on my port. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Then we wait for the Dr and my Dr was doing hospital rounds apparently and the week that they do that they have another doctor see his patients. She was very nice and she went over all my stats. My medicines and what I've been experiencing in terms of my side effects. Then she checked my labwork to see if I was cleared for my chemo!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So I go upstairs and wait forever for them to clear me for my meds. They finally get started and the Benadryl they give you immediately has me feeling drowsy. So sleepy time hits and that's how I spend most of my day. Poor Mom is sitting there bored out of her mind. You can only watch so much TV before you're over it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Afterwards I went to Wendy's because I was so hungry and didn't think that I would survive the ride home.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"> Got home and Gran had made burgers and fries for me! I ate that for lunch today. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">So I spend the rest of the evening sleeping. I went straight to bed early with no intention on writing the blog or watching TV or anything else. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Then I had to get up this morning and go back over for my follow up shot. I think it does something for your blood counts to boost them up after chemo. It's one shot and it takes like 10 minutes and that's it. So that's a plus. Then we went to WalMart to fill my prescription.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">We browsed around WalMart and after I picked up my prescription, we went to Target and Sally's Beauty supply. I picked up some wig shampoo and some head forms to let them dry on, so that they keep their shape better. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Once we got home, I did some internet browsing, some TV watching and a quick walk up to my Mom's house to get some fresh air. We actually had a decent day today. Since the sun was out and the wind wasn't blowing, it actually was tolerable to be outside. It's going to get colder as the week progresses though. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING?</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I always feel good. Why feel bad? Why would I want to feel negative emotion if I can choose to have a positive emotion.We all get frustrated, or mad or sad or whatever, but we don't have to stay there. Feel it for a moment and then realize how much better it would be to have a positive emotion. It would be better to laugh or smile and think of how proud you are or how good it feels to just not feel worried. There are a lot of positive emotions we can have. We just need to embrace those feelings over the negative emotions that are often times too easy to let yourself wallow in. We all have that friend you can call and complain with. They will listen to you bitch and whine and have their own pity party right along with you--next time you wanna call them--don't! Call that friend who's always positive and upbeat and says that it's all going to work out instead. You hate hearing that when all you want to do is complain, but switch over to the positive side. Flip the switch to more positive thinking! </span> </span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">30 DEGREE WEATHER--NOT SO SPRING-TIMEY!</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">The weather today was no joke for it to be the 2nd day of Spring! That stinking groundhog didn't know what he was seeing! So we were out and about in the weather today. Not as early thankfully. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">We dropped Gran off at her luncheon at noon and went to my favorite place--Gabe's! I of course came out with a couple of deals and some Easter Candy.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Then we picked up Gran and spent some time in everyone's favorite place--WalMart of course!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I picked up some more deals and some Easter stuff for my niece.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">We got home, ate some lunch and watched some tv. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Then came dinner and a shower. I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 8am for my chemo, so I'm gonna just make sure that I have everything prepped tonight and I can just jump up get dressed and eat before we leave. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;"> Gotta watch Scandal tonight--we've had three weeks of repeats and we're getting our first new episode tonight.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I feel good. I feel ready for the warmer weather. I just saw a news commercial that said that Puxtatwney Phil--the Groundhog was receiving death threats. I'm not that upset, but boy I would be happy to see some sunshine. I'm sick of sitting in the house and when you do venture out, you feel like you have to run from the car to the place you're going. But we have to stay positive. Spring is just around the corner. Well it's technically here already, but we will actually feel it soon. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">Just be happy--no matter what kinda weather we have! No matter what's going on--find something to laugh about or smile about. Your joy is the most important thing and you're in control of that. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">EASTER SHOPPING TODAY</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span>We started our morning off at Ihop. My grandmother had an outing with her league there. So me and Mom ate breakfast quickly and then we went to Lowe's and Michael's.<br />
<br />
We picked Gran up from Ihop and then we went to Kmart.<br />
<br />
We had to call my Brother to get my niece's size. She's growing--rocking a 4T and she's only 2 years old. She's a big girl for her age. Always has been. I found her a really cute pair of pj's. But I was getting tired, having been up since 7:30 and after walking around I needed to sit.<br />
<br />
So we came home and ate a Digornio pizza.<br />
<br />
I took a nap and then we watched some design shows.<br />
<br />
So yeah no writing and no art. It's been so long! I need to get back to it.<br />

I woke up and prayed and meditated.<br />
Had breakfast and it stayed down! Yeah!<br />
I got dressed and felt fine.<br />
Gran came home from her volunteer work.<br />
Then I took a ride with Mom to Fairmont to pay some bills.<br />
Came back and had lunch.<br />
Watched Days of our Lives and took a little nod on the couch.<br />
Then I made a salad to eat with my spaghetti. <br />
Laughed at Betty White's Off their Rocker with Mom and Gran and started the blog.<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;">HOW I'M FEELING...</span></h2>
<span style="color: magenta;"> </span>I feel pretty good. I woke up feeling much better than yesterday. I listened to some Joyce Meyers in Mom's truck today and she was discussing grace and how we try so hard to do things, instead of just accepting the grace we've received! We don't have to do anything to receive Grace or God's favor. We just have to accept Him and let Him run the show. If you take a look at the things in your life that aren't working and you're sitting thinking I'm trying to make this work, then that's where you've gone wrong. What you needed to do was turn it over to God and let his Grace lead you. Let yourself be in His favor and the issue will take care of itself. You can do anything through Christ because he's everything and without him you couldn't achieve all of this. He gives us life. I think we have to trust that he's taking care of everything. Faith, Trust, Believe.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;">WHERE'S TINA?</span></h2>
<br />
My day didn't start off so great yesterday. I was nauseous and threw up. So I spend the rest of the day on the couch under blankets watching TV and dozing off. I drank some gingerale and waited for my stomach to settle before eating little snacks. I haven't tried to eat anything yet, but hopefully today will go much better.<br />
<br />
But just wanted to give you the run down on why there was no blog yesterday!<br />
<br />
I'm speaking good health into my life today. I'll be fine! You should speak something positive into your life today too!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438429006248472037noreply@blogger.com0
