Out of Body and Out of Mind

Ok...just a warning...you guys are gonna think I'm crazy after you read this. Ok, so I'm on IV antibiotics right now and I've been kinda nauseous the last couple days. I still had some meds that help the nausea from last time I was on IVs that made me nauseous. Anyways...it's called Merinol and it is a derivative of Marijuana. The prescription said to take 2 pills- so I went ahead and took 2 pills. OH, we were going to the spa that day for Lydia's bday. Anyways, so we're on the way down there and my mind is like racing extremely fast and it feels likeI was running everywhere- my legs hurt so bad. I was seriously like "high" from that stuff. I would "come back to reality" all of a sudden and be like, why am I crying? Or I'd remember something I just did and then be like, did I really do that? or did I just think I did? WOW. Anyways, it probably sounds hilarious reading it, but it was the most terrifying 2-3 hours of my life. Needless today, mom and I didn't get anything done at the spa then because I was insane and my mom was scared to leave me alone. But Kim and Lydia had fun. I felt better when we were getting ready to leave the spa then. We met all the guys then at Applebees for supper and I felt way better than- back to normal. 

So that was my day.

Thats all for now....

Oh, and here's a pic of Mia...so cute!

Great Strides Walk


The Great Strides Walk is coming up..ok, not really that soon- May 2. But, I'm definitely starting earlier this year with getting a team together and raising money. For those of you who don't know, Great Strides is a like a walk-a-thon I guess. It's to help raise money to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Last year, I found out about it kinda late- like April or something- I still managed to get a team together really fast (people would just come up to me and say they could walk! PTL!!) and amazingly, in such a short time, my team managed to raise $500 for the cause! This year tho, I'm getting a big head start! I'm excited! The walk is May 2 at McKinley High School and registration starts at 9 AM. I believe that actual walk starts at 10. I forget how far we walk, but when its over, they have a complimentary lunch for everyone! There were SO many people there last year! Even my CF doctor was there ;) But anyways, if anyone is interested in walking or donating money- just let me know! I'll keep you up to date with everything up until the actual walk! :) Your support would be very much appreciated!
