My New Job, the 5K, and Classes

My Job, Classes, and the upcoming 5K:

First of all, I started a new job the other night. I now work at a local restaurant. I was hired as a server, but right now I'm hostess mostly. I really enjoy the work.  I love interacting with people, I've always been outgoing and this fits my personality very well. Why did I never think of it before? I have a 2nd interveiw for another job that is full time, BUT I'm not sure what will happen there. They aren't willing to work around my classes and I need those classes as pre-reqs for Grad School. Soooo. I'm going to the 2nd interveiw anyway, because they want me to (even though they stated this about the classes). I won't drop the classes. Even though I have no clue where I want to go for Grad School (or if I want to do online), I KNOW I want to do Grad School. And I need those classes!

Which brings me to my 2nd topic. Wow, going back to classes after graduating is..weird. This time around I talk more in class, don't care if people think I'm the "nerd in class." I'm focused on getting awesome letters of recommendation from both of professors for Grad School. That's all that matters. Of course, since I'm going to IVCC, I'm not going to pass up the opportunity to dance and sing! Therefore, I auditioned for show choir. I made show choir, even though they practice from 6-10pm on Mondays and I have class from 6:30-9:30. But I can learn music on my owns and I think I can pick up the dancing pretty fast (dancing is my strong point). We'll see how it goes. I love dancing and singing though, so I can make it work.

My 5K is in 2 DAYS!  YIPES! I haven't been jogging. I had some medical issues with "mummy disease" then went on Vacation. So I will run it in the morning (at 8am) to practice it. Then run the real thing Saturday! I'm not shooting for a goal time, since I'm not prepared. My goal is to finish and finish semi-strong. I can try to shave time with more 5Ks. I'm nervous, but more excited to run it!

And hopefully, I'll have someone there to take pictures of me finishing the race. My doctor wants a good pic of me finishing for the newsletter. I'm all for promoting exercise, it has really helped me gain back lung function. So if he wants a picture of me all sweaty, tired, and panting then okay! I will let you all know how I do!

Leaving on an Airplane, don't know when I'll be..oh, wait I return on Sunday!

VACATION YAY! Tomorrow I head to my uncles' and stay there, then Thursday morning, EARLY in the morning, we are headed to the airport! We are flying into Buffalo, NY and spending Thursday at Niagara Falls! Friday and Saturday I have no clue what we are doing! I know there is a surprise for me. But I'm not sure what it is. All I know is I'm soo excited to go! Last Fall I went to Las Vegas with my friend Amanda! It was soo much fun and had been like decade..seriously 10+ years...since I had been on vacation (well more than wknd trips to see friends who live within a 10 hr drive, hee hee Kym!) When I get back from my trip this weekend, I will post about it too! I just have to pack a little more when I go places and make sure to do my meds. On top of the regular, clothes, etc that most people pack  I will also pack: therapy machine 5 nebulizer cups  28 vials of medicine for my nebulizers over 150 pills I will take during the wknd 16 cans of stomach...

Tech-savvy Thursday- new look!

New Look: Getting Tech-Savvy: Since, I'm getting more involved in blogging, I decided it was time to give my blog a makeover! eMake-overs are always fun, whether you getting a new hair style, or outfit at the mall. However, I've been researching a lot about blogs and social networking. And I thought it may be time to update my blog's look.      I think I like my new one (at the top) a lot better than the old one (pictured on right). What do you think? I wanted my blog to feel more personal and I wanted to make it more tech-savy. I kept the black/purple color scheme. But made the purple the main color instead (and made it a softer purple). I then started looking up how to make my own buttons, widgets, etc. It isn't too hard to find tutorials for anything these days, between google, pinterest, and forums, you can pretty much find instructions for anything. I used a simple code and photobucket to make my own buttons: I think my new Tw...

Daily Compliance & Arthritis (video too)

The Big Topic: (let download for video below) Lots of people in the CF community talk about being compliant with their meds. It's really important, trust me I've seen the difference. I know some CFers keep track of the number of days in a row they stay compliant, but I don't keep track exactly. Why? It upsets me too much when I miss one and have to start over. I'm very competitive (which is funny, considering I've never been in sports). But more than competitive, I'm really tough on myself.  So instead of counting days, I just do all the meds I can actually do. So since my hospitalization in January I can say I've done all the meds I could do. Why can't I do all my meds. Lots of reasons. If I'm visiting someone, one spills & I forget to bring extra. If the insurance or pharmacy hold up my refill an extra day or two (causing me to lose 1 or 2 days worth of that med). So as long as I physically have the medication I do the med. That's...
