Birthday Fun!

Birthday Fun!

I've been sooo busy with school and trying to keep up with meds/ stay healthy that I haven't blogged. Sorry at the epic fail on my part.

Sooo my birthday was last Saturday! I had a great day! Andrew and I met my mom and cousin Kazia (she was staying at mom's) for Donuts at my friend Larry's Donut Shop. He didn't have my favorite kind :-( BUT I tried something new and loved it just as much! YUM :-)

Andrew and I hung out most of the day at my house. I did my meds, he played guitar. It was pretty chill. Then we got all dressed up and went out to dinner and to a DeMolay Reunion/ Installation. I got to see a bunch of friends from that youth group I used to be in (hadn't seen some since 2006). It was amazing seeing everyone, hearing how everyone was doing, and I even got to dance.

Note: I love dancing...too much. No birthday would be complete without dancing!

Then Andrew and I went out for food with a couple really good friends and hung out!  It was a great birthday. 28...whoa. Crazy! I have friends turning 30 this year!!!! my 10 yr reunion is this fall! yipes!

Oh, and Andrew got me some pretty cool gifts....here is one of them:   -->

Also I got my hair cut again thanks to part of my mom's gift!!!!

Other than my bday, I've just been practicing for the Musical I'm in (Xanadu) , workin, and going to school. :-) BUT IT'S ALMOST SUMMER!

I'm looking forward to having more time to spend with my family, Andrew and all my friends! Not to mention I won't be crazy busy, so I can save more money, etc! Summer can't come fast enough!

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 ...

Cystic Fibrosis Clinic Results. Not what I wanted, but...

My Results: I went down in lung function 2% points and lost  a couple more lbs. So I'm at 102. I was really disappointed with myself. I know that I have been doing  my meds and I have been doing my stomach feeding most nights too.  I have been making the right decisions and all my friends have been very supportive. I bring my nebulizers over to their houses to do them if we are hanging out, etc. It just wasn't enough this clinic. I really thought there would be a slight increase. However, I haven't been jogging since it is cold outside. And I know waitressing has been making it hard to gain weight. Plus, its winter. It is always harder for me to stay healthy in the winter. Dr. B was still pleased. He said "I should give myself a break, I have been doing everything he asked, I ran a 5K, and I'm still doing well." And that is true 2% increase isn't a huge decrease, only if I continue to decrease then there is a problem. Dr. B told me that I need to focus...

Black Plague ( known as Cepacia B)

Black Plague I had a long car drive home to think, so this is long, but heartfelt. Tonight I went to a meeting for a non-profit I help with and while discussing somebody's anger issues. I decided to share a part of my past with the board that was there. I still am in shock I did so, considering very, VERY, few people know this. But I'm not ashamed and feel like others have been in my place. Naturally, the next step, is to share it on a blog, where everyone has access to it. (heh.) When I was little around middle school age I had some anger issues. I used to get angry over nothing and scream and once in a while even push my mom ( luckily I was tiny and not very strong). She would just hug me and tell me she loved me, she never got angry back.  She knew I was angry because quite a few of my friends with Cystic Fibrosis were passing away, from Cepacia B and other infections that were spreading ( apparently at the parties, camps, and apts) around. About a yea...
