Hair Cuts and Horror Films. Random, but still my thoughts for the day!

I need a Hair cut & my experience with Horror Films.
I got up super early to finish a paper that was due, but had to be at the school by 8:00am, so I left my house at 7:20. I had been up since 5 working on my paper and I knew I wouldn't have time to do my hair. So I just let it dry naturally.

Yipes! Bad idea. My hair is short (here I will take a picture real quick of me holding out a piece of the longest parts). And you get to see my nebulizer treatment, I used the mask today, cuz the mouth piece didn't get washed last night with the first batch of med cups. Its in the batch to be washed this morning. And I'm lazy. So I decided to just use the mask. I know it looks pretty cool.

Back to my point. My hair has grown out quite a bit since I had it cut at the end of July! The problem is I can't decide what to do with my hair now. I'm getting bored of it being short, but I like how it looks short. I look more my age with short hair. When I have long hair, people think I'm way younger.
BUT,  I miss wearing it curly, when it is this short the curl looks weird. That's why I'm thinking about going back to a bob like this:



I just really miss my curls. I have to straighten my hair on any day I don't want curls and with my super short hair that means straightening it every day, or my longer-ish bangs with curl out and make lil horns...




Horror Films: it makes no sense:
Tonight, I'm going to watch old black and white scary movies with a couple friends. Haha, baby steps. I'm trying to get used to liking horror movies. Most of my friends do, including my sister, but I never have and I'm not even surewhy. I have watched about 3 newer scary movies and it went well. It is ridiculous I get scared. I can go through any medical procedure, change my own stomach tube, and have been awake why they threaded a hook up through a vein (starting in my leg that went all the way up to my chest). It felt like live worms were crawling up my vein, it was kinda cool, but is creepy at the same time. So why can I not watch horror films. It is a ridiculous thing. I'm going to change it starting NOW, well after I get off work.

  1. Maybe you don't like horror films for the same reason I don't... you know they are not REAL so they seems silly & boring, nothing like the REAL horrors you've been through & seen, right?

    Not to mention, that when you watch them & get scared, you end up freaking yourself out by telling yourself you're not scared, & there's no scary clown under your bed waiting for you to fall asleep so it can cut your pinky toes off to use in some scary soup...

  2. thanks for posting. and hahaha. maybe. You could be right about seeing real horrors and add that to my imagination...Makes sense. But last night we watched a zombie movie, I forget the name now, but It was ok. I am very analytical when watching movies. I love movies, even highly predictable ones. However, its the movies that make me think or change how I feel that I really enjoy. I like learning from a movie.

End of Summer -Updates!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since we moved our blog to www.MoreThanDNA.org! A lot has happened in that year. My husband and I became Foster Parents to some amazing kiddos and still have one of those kiddos living with us. We have loved having "Shoes" with us and can't believe how much he has grown and learned in the year!I'm so proud of him! We have court next week, so prayers that it goes okay (and doesn't get continued again- that just drags it out longer for the kids). He is now 39 months old and starting Pre-K this month! Other big changes include: Some renovation to our home (complete Bath rehab & updated plumbing throughout), I started a new gene-targeting medication (symdeko) that is helping to keep me stable these last 3 months, and I got an AffloVest! I'm loving my new portable vest! Also, career wise...we both switched jobs! Andrew also started Seminary this summer to get a Masters Degree in Divinity. He has always wanted to be ...

Planning ahead (yay, for being organized).

Organization: it is a great thing! I'm doing another CF Walk in October! It's on the 6th at 9am. Why am I posting this now? In the past I wasn't organized. I would end up asking a couple friends to walk it with me. I didn't fundraise much, but I want that to change! I've had people tell me they would have walked if they knew about it. I'm blogging now, being more active on CF communities online, and there is no reason why I shouldn't invite others to do the walk. Everyone knows I have CF, why did I never invite more people?? No clue. So here I am inviting everyone to come and walk with my team! Here is the link the Facebook Event: Cheriz's CF walk FB event Also a link directly to my GreatStrides Walk page is on the upper lefthand side of the blog! I want to start to be more active in fundraising walks (along with 5ks). I'm planning on doing 2-3 CF walks a yr, and the ALS/PLS Walk every year! If you want to cheer me on at my first 5k i...

Why I Hope this Hospital Stay is Different

Typically, I've been very stable as an adult. I'm very lucky for that stability. However, 2018 started out nowhere near where I wanted. I was admitted mid March for a virus. We aren't sure what virus I had (every test came back negative). However, I had a consistent fever over 102 the entire 5 days I was in the hospital. Once I was fever free for 24 hours and I started eating better, they let me return home. I was excited to leave and get back to my everyday life. But, considering now a month later (and re-admitted), I think I should of just done a two week tune-up last month while I was in already. Live and learn. As you know (I'm sure) I have been trying to get my lung function back up to around 55-60%. 60% is my goal and it really is the highest my lung function can get, due to all the permanent scarring. I started Orkambi in October 2016. At that time it was the newest gene-modifier drug on market for CF patients (with my mutations).  After going on Orkambi I droppe...
