It's OK Thursday

 

 

 

Published October 25, 2012 | By Neely   It's OK Thursday   that I am doing it again on Friday instead of Thursday.  I had a Dr appointment yesterday.   that I got really angry that someone honked at me for going the speed limit, yes I was going the speed limit.   that I really miss my Dad and my brother Charlie very much.   that I really want a cure for cystic fibrosis.   that I would love to raise money to feed the children who don't know where there next meal is coming from.   that I would love to have a animal shelter where dogs and cats could run free and eat as much as they want.              

Todays Appointment

Well today's appointment went well.  I had an endoscopy of my stomach.  The dr was looking to see if I had blockage in my veins in my esophagus, stomach, and in my liver.  The dr that did the procedure said that there was nothing significant but there was some blockage that could be treated with drugs.  They also said that there was still food in my stomach which isn't good because I hadn't had anything to eat for 10 hours.  About a month ago I was put on a new drug to help with my stomach motility and I thought that it was working good.  I haven't been nauseous so I thought that the food was moving properly.  I guess we will wait and see what my dr says about that.  I previously took reglan (which is used to help with stomach motility) for 8 years and I was just feeling like it wasn't working that well anymore is why I switched drugs to begin with.  Other than that though it was a good day.  I'll keep you posted when I follow-up with my dr about what he wants to do.

LOOK AT THAT SHOE...AWESOMENESS

Short and Sweet

Tonight is going to be a short blog because I'm tired.  I know I'm blogging late tonight but I've been out.  I went with my mom to buy herself some new shoes.  I love shoe shopping even if it's not for me.  I simply love shoes!!!

Did anyone watch the debate tonight? I DVR'd it so I could watch it with Chad.  I am so ready for this to be over already!!!  I'm am tired of seeing all of the bashing of each other on tv.  I am voting and NO I am not telling who I am voting for.  I don't like to debate personally, that is why I'm not sharing.

I know it's early but have any of you started shopping for Christmas yet? Or does everyone wait like I usually do until about a week before.  Hopefully this week I can get some of my done, through the internet of course.

I have a dr. appointment tomorrow morning so readers please pray things go well.  It's just a routine visit so I'll let you know more tomorrow.

Nightmare

I had a nightmare last night.  Well, maybe it wasn't a nightmare to most but it was to me.  Are y'all ready for it...I got in a tanning bed and burned to a crisp.  I have to admit I use to love the tanning bed and the sun and aways having a good tan.  I use to get in the tanning bed starting in about March and tan just once a week until the weather got warm enough to lay out in the sun.  I would rub tanning oil all over my body and my burned skin would turn into a nice tan.  Man, am I regretting that now.  Since I've had my lung transplant and with all the anti-rejection drugs I have had several skin cancers removed.  Nothing to serious but several of them have been on my face and on my arms and hands.  They were just small places but still it is very scary.  Now I'm fine with being snow white.  I am also glad that more people are turning towards spray tanning.  If you want to be tan I think that is the way to go.  I do use some tanning lotion sometimes in the summer if I have a wedding to go to or something.  It's called Mohave Magic and I get it on QVC.  It kind of has a smell to it but it's not that bad and you do have to wait 15 minutes before putting on any clothes.  It does have a shimmer to it but I think it looks very good and doesn't leave you orange.

Well, I hope you all have had a wonderful Thursday.  Tonight Chad and I are going to start watching the first season of Boardwalk Empire.

Writers Block

I've been having some writers block lately.  I always feel like I don't have anything that my readers would want to hear about.  I am really trying hard to blog more.  One of my favorite bloggers, Ree Drummond, says you need to treat a blog like a plant.  If you water it everyday it will grow.  If you water it every few days, months, or years it will die.  I'm also having trouble finding topics that my readers will enjoy and come back to read more.  Ree Drummond also says "to thank your readers and thank them often."  So Thank You for reading my blog even if some days you think, what is she writing about. 

Beautiful Day

Today it is absolutely beautiful outside.  My dogs and I went and sat outside and enjoyed the cool breeze.

They love to go outside, and me go with them.  Presley wants to just come right back in if I don't with them.  She likes to show me how high she can jump up the tree.

Stella Belle always wants to chase Taffy and Presley around the yard.

I love my fur kids.  I love doing stuff that makes them happy just like a parent would for a human kid.

I love the fact that it usually only gets really cold in December and January.  Of course I say that now and it will probably get cold sooner.

Reading Blogs

I love blogging and also reading others' blogs.  I think that blogging is a great way to keep up with peoples lives that you don't get to talk to often.  I also think that it is a good way for people to get their feelings out there.   People often put controversial subjects on their blogs and it always leaves me thinking.  I haven't been brave enough to put any controversial topics on my blog yet, maybe some day. 

I have been getting this magazine that I love and it has all kinds of blogs to read about any subject you could imagine.  The magazine is called "Artful Blogging."  My mom actually bought me my first issue of it a few years ago.  It is published quarterly and is very good. 

I'm still working on getting my blog changed.  I'm having trouble deciding what all I want to have.  Thanks for being patient!!!

Changes

Everything changes, including my blog.  I'm still in the process of changing it though but it will still be a few weeks.  For those of you that are reading this thanks for following me,  and then for those of you who are reading this thinking, "She needs a writing lesson", I'm sorry.  I didn't claim to be a good writer but I'm trying.  Maybe the more I write I will get better.  I always have so much to say and thoughts are going through my mind a hundred miles a minute.  I am also going to rename my blog. 
We also bought a new camera about a year ago and I'm going to start putting pictures on my blog, even if they are just pictures of my fur kids.   

On another note, the weather is changing and it is getting cooler, which means it will be much easier to breathe.  I also love the changing in the leaves.  It is so beautiful.
