Siri's a muggle
My phone changed the word "horcruxes" to "hot dudes" like it wishes I were cool and popular and not an adult, texting about Harry Potter.

Happy birthday to me!
I say this every year, but 38 better be way better than 37. It about killed me.

My CEO just responded to one of my emails with this picture. And only this picture. Lol - jerk. ;)

Today's musing
Is anyone really surprised that someone who was so proud of his history of sex and drugs turned out to be HIV positive? I mean seriously...

Rain rain go away!
After a month of nothing but rain, I finally bit the bullet and bought myself some Hunter rain boots. I've been eyeing these babies for a solid year now, and I can honestly say I've never been so excited over a pair of (utilitarian) shoes. Now, where's a big puddle...?

Storms don't last forever
There's nothing worse than watching someone you love trying to weather a difficult time in their lives. You feel helpless. You want to shelter them. You know they're going to be ok and you just want to comfort them, but there's absolutely nothing you can do but pray for them.
I hate it more than anything, when I can't help someone I love. When I can't take even just a fraction of their pain away. It's one of the most frustrating things on earth.

Progress!
I'm so pleased with how my room is turning out. I finally got some of the artwork I bought from Carrie Richardson Fry up on the walls and my new bed is my favorite piece of furniture. What do you think?

The sun never says
Even after all this time,
the sun never says to the earth
"You owe me."
Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights the whole sky.

Flashback
I was checking out my profile on Facebook yesterday and I came across this:
This is the quote I posted on Facebook when I first created my profile in 2007. It's amazing to me how that song almost became an anthem for my life over the last 8 years. It's more relevant today than it ever was.
I think I may need to pull this song up on Spotify today.

Confession
My favorite part of the day is the 25 minute drive to pick up my children from school, when I have total control over the XM radio. All the gangsta rap I can handle! Word...

Confession
Even though I know they'll never be there, I always scan the crowd when I'm leaving the airport and look for my kids. In more than 9 years of traveling for work, my (soon-to-be-ex) husband and kids have never met me or picked me up from the airport when I've come home. And I can't decide if that makes me sad, lonely, or bitter.

The latest
I've been dealing with a low blood pressure issue for a year now. It's annoying because I never know when it's going to strike and when it isn't. It's an issue I deal with on a DAILY basis and it's actually gotten worse. I used to occasionally get dizzy if I stood up too fast. Now I get dizzy almost every single time I stand up.
Imagine feeling like your head is woozy, your legs won't cooperate and you have no control over your body. You feel powerless and you think today could just be the day that you actually fall down. Well that's happened already too. Falling down the stairs when you're home alone is a terrifying thing.
I finally have two diagnoses for whatever is going on with me: Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and positional orthostatic tachycardia. In essence, my blood pressure tanks when I stand up and my heart beats as fast as it can to try and compensate for it. The result is an overworked heart and a scary prognosis.
Most people that have this condition are old. And die from complications. And that SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME.
I thought just getting a diagnosis would help because then I can start treating it. Nope. I have a long way to go. And hopefully the treatments will start working soon because I'm really terrified of my heart wearing out and needing a heart transplant. I have gotten a second opportunity at a happy life and I will be really pissed if this screws it up.
So please just pray for me. Just pray that I start feeling better soon, because I honestly haven't felt great in years. And everyone deserves a heart that works right.
My next round of tests is 9/18. Pray for me the. Too because I'm really nervous and not looking forward to what I need to get through. This isn't the first time I've faced something life threatening. But the odds are so much greater now.

Rock on!
Sometimes I have the best times. With the best friends. And I need to stop and just appreciate this life that I am living because at the end of the day, life is DAMN good right now.
