T-Shirts

Today was just one of those days. And also a day I was reminded the Lord puts people in our lives for a reason, no matter how small the incident may seem. 

I've had four tests in a row. Late nights...

 

Today I had 140 minutes to make it to Cheyenne and back in time to take a lab test in class. Why did I go to Cheyenne? To turn in this baby. My dad randomly called me this morning while I was on the road ready to turn the application in and calmed my nerves. Thanks Dad! And Mom texted me too same time!

So yeah, it's in! Please pray for me!


I was just frustrated because I was on a time crunch, and the trip to Cheyenne involves mountains yadda yadda. So when I arrived back in Laramie late to class, I was hiding out in the hallway listening in on the last 8 min of the lecture section of my Anatomy class. Larry the janitor who is just so sweet came up to talk to me right in front of the doorway, and I quickly let him know I was sneaking around... this professor loves to make a big deal when you walk in late, so I was going to sneak in when everyone came back from break for the quiz and second lecture. He was super funny because he asked, "Which class?" and when I told him who it was he did the big "Ohh..." and thought it was hilarious because this professor is so notorious for late-walk-ins. I told Larry why I was late and sneaking around and that I had just had a plain-old bad day. He pointed to his shirt and said, "Well these shirts are free in Student Services, go get one!"

Larry, you are awesome and you don't know how happy that little gesture made me! I had to get the color he had just to remember that!



Ain't that the truth.

Then Austin surprised me with a UW Law school shirt!



One of my close friends texted me today when Austin left for his studies, and when I was feeling lonely. Xoxo to you!

The cherry on top of the day was when my little pen pal Miss Mia (my little sister) sent a letter that I received today. I always begin my letter with: From the Land of the Jackalopes. I asked her to draw me a Jackalope, and I got to open this little guy up smiling at me ;)

I love all you people in my life. You make it the best. 


xoxo, From the Land of the Jackalopes

Flying Solo

Austin's been a solo man as of late....  I got super sick with a bacterial infection (as of late, more tests to come.) But before that was Austin with a 5 day flu, and then me with the flu, and then when I got better from that, I got an infection woot woot! Healthy over here! I got super flu-y again over the weekend and I won't go into details. I got a bit better and I had been fine to go teach a class on Monday at my college because I had gotten over what I though to be whatever Austin had. Then Tuesday went to my CNA class. And while I was there I was talking to a friend. She was telling me about her annoying apartment neighboors and I shouted, " UM... I'mma be sick hold on...." And I swear to St. Maria I have every trash can mapped out in that EITC building because when I went bursting down the hallway to the bathroom, it felt like friggin videogames and finding checkpoints.  I ended up cleaning the EITC bathroom stall for them.... let's...

Snowglobes of Wonder and Joy

I made snowglobes!  I've always loved those, even as a little kid. Then I saw DIY's on Pinterest, and thought.... Why hadn't I thought of making them before?? So in a nutshell, jars, hot glue, brush christmas trees (or anything plastic-y) glitter... and then to fill the jar, distilled water, glitter and some corn syrup to thicken it! I made all of these (already had jars) for $4.00! We attempted a gingerbread house with some friends... as you can see it looks like a crackhouse.    So... I think it's best I stick with the kind of art I know haha! I made a lot of books this break, and Austin can't complain cause he's an Eng. Lit.  He's been busy cooking some more amazing meals and snacks! Those are a healthy alfredo with quinoa base, and the other are applechips! Visit our Recipe page for cooking instructions .:here:. Also, for those who don't already know after my super obnoxious facebook excitement...

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...
