Weekend, gone for a few days!

This Weekend:

I will be gone tomorrow morning through Sunday, so I won't be able to blog and will have to find something equally entertaining to keep me occupied during my meds.

Today, I had a busy day; I ran errands, babysat this morning, judged theatre and interior design at the 4H fair this afternoon. I came home started packing and went back later to judge the fashion revue/show.

Of course, I come home to continue packing, but I want to pack all my clothes. I keep thinking, "oooh I might want this" or "oh, that's really cute!" Apparently, the fashion show, got my mind in fashion mode!


(packing and unpacking, packing and unpacking...)

Okay, I took out a lot of the clothes I didn't need. And I got everything into 2 bags. For a 2 night/3 day trip that sounds sad. But with Med stuff, I'm proud of my packing capabilities (Yay, for Girl Scouts).

bag on left: clothes (pjs, reg outfits, jogging outfits, cute outfit for going out), hair/tolietries (see my aussie hair spray!) pills in the mesh pocket, ipod, etc.

bag on right: big compartment: 8 cans of stomach feeding (which is why my bags weigh SO MUCH!), bags, feeding pump, tube and syringe (connector), med tape, therapy machine, accapella machine, altera therapy machine (for Cayston), nebulizer cups(4), and anything I left off the list! smaller compartment: shoes for wedding, shoes for regular, comfy cute shoes, and running shoes. (I got it down to 4 pair shoes and my flip flops that I'm wearing there!)


Just imagine, last fall when I went to Vegas I had to pack double the meds and feeding cans! Seriously, I can't imagine what a week long vacation would like (in luggage) for me! YIPES! I can barely manage my two bags, purse, and small cooler (for refrigerated meds)!

Yep, I'm all set! I'm so excited to spend the weekend with my friend, Dan! Spencer and Kayla's Wedding is Saturday, which will be lots of fun and really nice to see some friends from U of I! I haven't been to Quincy to visit Dan since Feb! At least I have a car this time, so I don't have to manage all the luggage at the train station :-)

So Everyone have A GREAT WEEKEND! and I will be back to blogging when I get back! :-) ps. keep my friend, Laura in your thoughts & prayers. She is still in the hospital, recovering well from surgery (had her port replaced), but still pretty sick!

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 ...

Updates!

 Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been a while. Covid struggles have been all around and we have been focusing our on our kiddo and current life situations (jobs, home, everything really). We have been posting regularly on the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CherizCFPage). We will keep you updated on there for now,  because we are doing some big changes to our current blog! Stay tuned!  In meantime, message our FB page if you need anything. Keep safe and stay happy.  We will be back. Promise!

First, of all since I was admitted last Thurirsday morning, I have gained weight. 1. because I don't have time to make food and eat at home as much as I need and 2. Who wouldn't devore a meal of roast beef, potatoes, veggies, fruit, and pudding at 6pm then order anothertray with shrimp and rice, and more dessert at 7pm? 1. So as of today I am 107.4 lbs! This is the highest I have been in a very long time. To check out my weight and lung functions changes over the years click here- Clinic-My Health Page! Only, down side...I need to buy new pants and running shorts, none of them fit me...I'm cheap and picky with clothes..so it may take a while. However, I'm sure a trip to Delia's will change my mind. Ps. for some reason Delia's usually fit, when others are t...
