"Mixed Up " Monday. Randomness.


"Mixed Up" Monday

Yesterday, was a day full of random stuff. Random GOOD stuff, but still. I had no car, as it is still dead in my Garage (but it's getting looked at tonight). I spent the morning hanging out with my lil cousin, then had lunch with my friend, Sarah. I finished the outline for my headboard, so it could be cut out. I then just have to paint it and attach it (a project I started over a month ago..lol). I did my meds and went to Tech rehearsal. I'm doing spotlight for Mulan Jr. Which I have never done before. I have worked with running the lightboard once, when I was in high school. But first time ever doing spotlight.

Earlier in the day, after I styled my hair for the day, I realized how boring it was to do my hair. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my short hair. Short hair looks better on me, but as you may know I never get the same hair style or cut twice. I get bored and like changing it up. With it being short, I can't braid it or anything. I never want to permanently dye my hair, then I couldn't change it. However, I had some washable dye in my cloest and I decided to throw some blue in my bangs.

Of course, Wednesday, I'm going job hunting. Therefore, all the blue will disappear on Tuesday night and reappear Thursday.

As far as job hunting, not sure where all to go, but I know I need a job! Summer almost over, so I will be done watching all the kids. Keeping fingers crosses for something. Besides babysitting, job hunting, and doing Tech, I'm going to start jogging again!

I'm hoping my medical problems will not come back. I found another 5K to do! It is at the beginning of September! Very excited to try again! Fingers crossed this one works out!

Time for a Change!

I have been blogging at www.cheriz.org since 2012. So an amazing 5 years! I found my forever career, my husband, my first & forever home! I said good-bye to my Stomach Tube & had some mjor medical transitions!  However, CF affects a lot more than myself now. It affects Andrew, soon we will have kids in the house. To call my blog Cheriz- just doesn't make sense anymore. Coming up with a new name was super hard! However, my new blog is More Than DNA! ( MoreThanDNA.org ) Why did I name it that? Because I am MORE than my CF (or mutated DNA that makes up my CF). My family also will not have shared DNA. Any kids in our house (whether we adopt or foster children or not) will be considered our family & we don't think it matters that they won't have shared DNA. DNA does not define our family or us as an individual. We are more than our DNA! I have posted my first blog post at the new site! But I'm working on moving a lot my archives from this blog over. So it...

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 ...

A Simple Hug

I'm a hugging type person. In fact, I have a couple friends that aren't big on hugs or any kind of public displays of affection. However, they usually bring the bubble barrier (as I call it) down to hug me good bye. I'm also super extroverted and LOVE to hang out with friends.... Therefore, not being able to see my friends (with CF) in person drive me nuts. A lot of people (in society) don't realize that people with CF cannot be around each other. This is due to the bacteria we colonize in our lungs. It doesn't affect non-CF individuals. But, as we come in close proximity with other people with CF those bugs spread and continue to damage our lungs faster. We fight off the bacteria with antibiotics, but when I was younger we didn't have many options for antibiotics (especially nebulized). This meant we could not eradicate the bacteria and were stuck with it in our lungs for the rest of our life. The more bacteria we culture, the faster our lungs are damaged, t...
