lung capacity
Today I woke up and
felt like a brand new woman.� I nearly
jumped up and did a dance of joy.�
Instead, I ate a light breakfast, drank some juice, downed some of the
last of the pills I had to take (antibiotics for the recovery and antibiotics
for the severe kidney infection I also had when admitted to the hospital), I
took a shower, shaved my legs, washed AND conditioned my long long hair and
then I did something I haven�t done for over a week.� I blew my hair dry with the hairdryer, I put on some makeup, I
styled my hair and I put on shorts and a new summer shirt and a new pair of
shoes I had bought prior to the hospital insanity.� Tommy Hilfiger summer sneakers�cute cute.� (photo�s someday�they�re that cute!)�
�
Then, I cleaned up the
apartment.� I cleared away the last two
weeks of disarray and dirty juice cups.�
I moved all of the dirty clothes to one neat and tidy place in a laundry
basket and I attempted to put my clean clothes away but do not own enough
hangers to hang everything up.� (note to
self: buy more hangers)
�
I called and spoke to
my grandmother in PA again even though I just talked to her a few days
ago.� She�s been worried about my
health.� Grandmother�s are that way.� I then spoke to my Aunt (my mother�s sister)
who just got back from visiting my first cousin who now lives in Chicago.� Apparently there�s a beach in Chicago, I
never knew.�
�
Then I drove to the
nail salon and got my nails done.� I
chit chatted to my nail stylist as best as one can when your nail stylist
speaks poor Engrish.� Then I went to
Walmart and bought a new hairbrush (my old one bit the big one when I had to
untangle my long hair after days of high fevers and no washing in the hospital)
and soap for the dishwasher (since we ran out and I was anxious to get the
dishes all cleaned up)
�
I walked around
Walmart and considered buying some candles but decided to skip them.� They were cheap but I didn�t have much faith
that they�d burn consistently.� I felt
surreal walking around Walmart.� And
then I heard the thunder outside and decided to leave.� I didn�t miss the downpour and found myself
running through the parking lot to get to my vehicle.� The rain felt cool and came down in big fat droplets and when I
nearly reached my vehicle I slowed down and let myself concentrate on how good
the cool drops felt on my feverish skin.�
Life is good and I feel like I appreciate my health in a new and
improved way.
�
The man worked the
majority of the day away like he seems to do most of them as of late.� He went to work this morning at 6:30 a.m.
and didn�t come through the door until 9:10 p.m. tonight. And yah he works that much on some days, and his paycheck proves it.� We decided to go out to Bennigan�s for
dinner.� I got shrimp tempura and he got
a steak.� It was the first meal that
actually tasted half ok to me.� I
haven�t had an appetite and the looseness of my jean shorts were evident of
it.� I could not however finish my meal
and that�s ok too.� Rick enjoyed his
steak and it was nice to spend some time with him without the worries of the
last two weeks that we�ve endured.� He
was pretty tired though.� We�re back
home, and he�s already in bed snoring away.�
He has to work again in the morning.�
�
It�s been raining on
and off all evening and there�s tons of news here regarding Hurricane
Dennis.� It�s moving over Cuba right
now.� I have a hair appointment to get
my hair cut and highlighted tomorrow and am hoping it doesn�t get cancelled
because I finally feel pretty good and want to get my hair cut bad.� It�s so long and I love it long but it needs
to be trimmed and highlighted badly.�
Also, it�ll probably rain most of the rest of the weekend and it�d be
nice to spend the rainy day getting my hair done doing something constructive
than sitting inside watching it rain all day.
�
We�ve been lucky in
the Tampa Bay as we�ve been able to avoid all of the storms that have come near
the coastline of Florida.� We seem to be
tucked into the safe place.� But with
the storms come the threat of tornado�s and they�re pretty wicked sometimes.� I hope that Rick doesn�t have to work very
long tomorrow if at all because I�ll just worry about him being out there
amongst the weather threats all day.
�
It�s fairly late but
I�m feeling wide-awake and full of energy for the first time in days.� Time to go check out the information for my
upcoming course in school.� Get a head start
since I�ll be doubling up my schedule for the next ten weeks pretty soon.� I�m going to take some MTH courses on site,
meaning I�ll be in a regular classroom with a physical teacher present.� It should be interesting since I know the
teacher from my former position with the company and he�s great.� I look forward to the experience, however I
don�t look forward to working from 9 a.m. until my class starts at 6 p.m. and
walking down the hall and being in the same building at class until 10 p.m.� Should make for a long miserable break free
day.� That�ll be the day I�ll be taking
my lunch hour for sure.� I think it�ll
be fun though.� MTH courses don�t have
much teamwork involved and so I look forward to that break in the game plan as
well.
�
My staples are itchy,
my eyes are tired and I need to go get a glass of water and stretch, my back is
sore from too much rest.� Oh one last
thing, Rick got a haircut yesterday and he looks so dang hot I�m resisting
attacking him while he sleeps right now.�
I did sneak in there a few paragraphs ago to retrieve my favorite pillow
before he falls asleep on it.�� I kissed
him good night.� I wonder if he even
knows�..how much I love him.
�
And�and�.I can finally
breath like a normal person according to my breathing toy the hospital gave me�.ahhhh
lung capacity rocks!!
�
On a very sad side
note....I haven't heard from BraN...yet. :-(
