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!

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...

SummerTime

 Who Doesn't LOVE the Summer: Summer is very much welcomed in our house! Andrew has more time off in the summer. I'm excited he graduates from college this December! Since the Fall of 2013 he has worked full-time while going to school full-time (35-45 hours at work & 12-15 credits per semester). This fall will be a little easier, he only has 2 classes & his Capstone Paper/project. However, he has been working on that this summer so he's ahead of the game. I've been enjoying spending more time with him this summer. Last night we walked down to the lake and had a picnic dinner. Had to find a shady spot so I didn't get sunburnt, I burn fairly fast from daily antibiotics & fair skin. We got to use one of our wedding shower presents. My mom got us a lawn blanket that zips up, along with the shadowbox, and other items. We love to going to the band concerts & activities in the park. So the lawn blanket will get lots of use. We packed it all up in a pic...
