Valentines Day

        Valentines Day...

I'm not sure how many of my friends are (or aren't) celebrating Valentines Day. And oddly, thinking back...I don't think I have ever had a boyfriend during Valentines Day..  I realized the majority of my relationships ended a few weeks before it.. not that it matters, because we all know the best part of Valentines Day is Brach's Candy Hearts!

This year I have decided to celebrate Valetines Day with a best friend of mine. We do dinner once a week usually, and I figured why not Valetines Day.

I'm excited to make dinner ( I have sundaes planned for dessert, with homemade raspberry sauce, and heart sprinkles)!

I'm also thinking of making chocolate/raspberry milkshakes (mine would be super high calorie of course)... I add my calories after my friend has her's poured.

CF TIP: If you want to make a high calorie drink but are sick of milkshakes, because lets face it from birth, our doctors, nurses, and nutritionists are shoving milkshakes down our throats...  HOWEVER,  I love an Orange Julius! Pour some orange juice, add lots of ice cream, small bit of vanilla extract, then add a packet of instant carnation breakfast (vanilla flavor) & after its all done I pour a little heavy whipping cream in there too for extra calories -> you can't tell its in there. Very Yummy!

Today's BIG Appointment

 I discussed last week about my recent struggles & goals. I have been dealing with a lot all at once! Family planning (update on that in 2 weeks), my Grandma's funeral, lower lung function. Through it all I have remained very compliant with my meds! My health is VERY important to me. So this last weekend I took my vest machine, wabi sterilizer system , and packs of ensure to my parent's for the weekend. I wanted to make sure I did everything. While it was a sad occasion, it was still pleasant seeing almost all of the family together again. Actually 27 out of 29 of the cousins made it to the funeral. Grandpa is in the middle of the picture (can you find me?) LOL   On top of my medications I have been doing some dancing & walking, but no jogging or anything. I'm still counting calories on my fitbit (hitting over 3000) a day (& 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat at least). I knew I was feeling a bit better than before, but wasn't sure what to expec...

How Fostering and CF impact my work

I haven't been on my blog much.... I think that is because most of my blogging is currently been done on Health Union's Cystic-Fibrosis.com (here is link to all my posts on their site: https://cystic-fibrosis.com/members/cherizkunkel/ ). I decided last fall to step away from real estate after 3 years in the business. It was tough to say good-bye, especially since I had tripled my volume and business in the last year. However, I didn't have time to add any new clients; I kept saying, maybe next week, next month I can fit more work into my schedule. The truth is fostering takes a lot of time. We have between 5-8 monthly visits at the agency, 1 court ate a month, 2 home visits from the caseworker a month, plus e have 2-3 doctors/specialist appointments for our current kiddo. We have lots of paperwork we fill out, gas mile logs, receipts to add, and more! Our kiddo also participates in gymnastics and dance two nights a week. We go to a fosterparent support group with our kid ...

30th Bday & Being Sick

The Weekend Cancelled: Yesterday was my 30th Birthday. Crazy huh, to think 30 years... dang. I kinda love it. However, it didn't end up quite like I had planned it. I had been having Arthritis problems in the last few weeks ( as you may have read in my last post ). I didn't even realize I was sick until it hit me all of the sudden. I had temps for two weeks around 99.5, but that's common with my arthritis. So it didn't occur to me until later Thursday Night... I spiked a 102.2 fever, was coughing a ton, my lungs felt really tight & crappy. My breathing was faster. I ended up calling Doc B on Friday morning. He told me I needed to stay home & rest, drink plenty of fluids, and he put me on Augmentin & TamiFlu (to be safe). Saturday & Sunday I just got worse with my temperature not going down with tylenol or ibuprofin. I had to cancel my plans to go to the Bridal Expo, cancel my Bday Party, and we couldn't go home to see our families on Easter.  M...
