"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!

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...

Holding Down the Fort

My husband, Andrew, is currently at Wartburg Theological Seminary and is starting his first week of his second year there. Every year he lives on campus for one week. He enjoys starting each semester on campus where he can build friendships with other students and professors. It's the only time he is on campus. Usually he does long-distance learning, online, from home. It was the only way we could manage him doing a four year Master degree program while working. This week is the hardest for us. However, we have something on Thursday and Friday this week, so Andrew will only be gone 3 days instead of the typical full five. So that will make this week a bit easier than the other semesters. It's hard for Andrew to be away, although I know he is having a blast. We send random pictures back and forth like a book he may be reading or a game I may be playing with our kiddo. It is hard for the kid(s) to not see Andrew every day. We are foster parents and stability is a BIG issue for ...

Beginning of the Year Troubles

Normal "beginning of the year" troubles for Andrew and I only really consist of one topic: Our Deductible [please no Obama, or government bashing] I've always had high deductibles ALL MY LIFE (no matter who was president). The problem is I hit my deductible within the first week of January. In the past I have always prepared for this and since I was still on my father's insurance (up until last year) he typically paid the bill (at least for medical stuff). And in the future Andrew & I won't have such an issue with this. We will be able to save and plan ahead for the $3,000 (for my deductible, his is another $3,000). However, this year was more difficult. We saved all 2013-2014 for our wedding & honeymoon, plus had our deductible saved too. But Real Estate was a pricey career to start, I've put almost $5,000 into it (classes, dues, licensing, exam, advertising, etc). So needless to say our deductible disappeared, thanks to my new career. Wh...
