yellow peel

How often does that happen?! Picking up this second job at the bowling alley seemed like a "sham" job to me, however today I quickly learned otherwise. My first 5 days there I tied laces, racked balls, and greeted customers. Today I greeted customers while getting their balls and tying shoes at the same time, all while smiling and being personable..not too hard, huh? I was thinking to my overly exhausted self, "why in the world do I want to work a second job......?" its 13 hours a week, thursday friday & saturday. I stay up late anyways, might as well be productive, right? eh.

anywho, living with cystic fibrosis has taught me a lot. I'm blessed with the ability to walk, eat, breathe, sleep, and participate in extracurricular activities. Many people with CF *depending on their specific genetic mutation* cannot do those things on their own. I'm able to work 35+ hours, attend school, run a mile or 2, and do many other things without it being too much. I've also learned my limits, I know when to slow down, but I don't always do that. I'm working on taking care of myself. Which means the following:

-striving to eat 6000 calories a day...yeahhh. this low fat yogurt ain't helpin' NONE (bahha)
-doing 3-4 breathing treatments per day. This is where I am of EPIC fail. Its so hard to do that, but since I started blogging, I do my night time treatment while I type. Easy 'nuff!
-getting at least 7 hours of sleep, and sneaking cat naps in when I can
-taking 298734 pills per day (vitamins, enyzmes, etc.,) Least fav part

so yeahhh.


my youngest nephew, EZ turned 2 months old today! what a wonderful blessing he is. The joy that he brings to our family is outstanding. Just looking at his little face makes my heart melt, and my gratitude towards my Savior strengthen. LOVEIT.

"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday"

Psalm 37:5-6
