Crazy, Busy days...

So the last week has been crazy.

Between babysitting,websites uploads, hmwk for real estate exam, my online politics course (pre-req for Grad School), play rehearsals 5 nights a week, and trying to train for a 5K... I've been pretty busy.

I have been failing a little at keeping up with my meds. I haven't been doing all 4 in the morning and have been doing 2 instead of 3 in the evenings. I think its crazy that people say "Wow, how do you do it all". I don't. simply one area of my life tends to get left behind a bit. Yes, sadly that is therapies this time. I'm refusing to skip my entire morning meds or evening meds when I'm rushed though, since that's when I tend to continue skipping.

Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and today i will have done them ALL! YAY!  But Tuesday and Thursday I skipped 3 each day.  I'm not perfect, nobody is, but I am honest. I can tell the difference in my breathing. Plus, the air around my place was really hard to breathe in yesterday (sadly, a 12 unit apt complex across the street was on fire and firefighters fought it for 4 hours, before all the fire was out).

I'm going to have to start jogging in the morning instead of night, with our Hairspray performances starting Thursday night! I'm sooo nervous I won't be ready for the 5K, my jogging/walking hasn't improved much in the last 2 weeks (probably due to lack of therapies and being tired when getting home from rehearsals).

But I will just keep with it and try my best. That's all I can do! And we will see what happens!

ps. In Hairspray I tap dance in jail ---------> here is a glimpse! Its kinda of amusing, but intense at the same time. LOL (if you are new to my blog, I'm in teal)

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...

Video Blog: Life in the hospital (as a child)

The daily life in the hospital! Most people cringe at the idea of a hospital. However, when I was little I never minded going into the hospital. I usually would have at least one other friend with Cystic Fibrosis to hang out with there (before we knew about the "CF Bugs"). I didn't love being sick, but I loved my CF friends that I would hang out with. Also the hospital, nurses, and my parent's tried to make it a "normal" environment. I got up and put on cute clothes, "walked to school", flirted with a couple CF boys, did homework, came "home" (back to my room), my friends would ask my parent if I could go play with them. We'd hang out in the play room or go on a walk with one of my parents! My dad loved taking me on walks and I LOVED going on our walks! Here is a video blog of the route we took and bit of information on what is was like growing up (for a chunks at a time) in the hospital! (it is posted via youtube, let is dow...

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 ...
