Alright trustee blog followers it is time I get myself into gear.  I fail at this whole blogging thing.  This is how I am with projects, I have good intentions, but… I don’t always get to the final results. 

Because I don’t like reading long tediously detailed accounts of other peoples lives I am sure you would not appreciate the recount of mine, so in order to avoid a long post I am just going to share some random thoughts and excerpts. 

- It is slightly ironic that I would be hospitalized during CF awareness month, but then again it feels like I spend most of my time in the hospital so perhaps it isn’t that ironic after all.

- I am drowning in more than one way down here.  My lungs are full of mucus, which is making it difficult to breathe, but I have faith that we will get this under control soon.  I already feel a little bit better.  I think that is because of the sun though.  Why do I live in OR again?

- But I am also in over my head with schoolwork.  Amazing how missing a couple days of studying can cause such a set back.   Did I mention the lack of motivation as well?  Something about being sick, you wish you could use it as an excuse to sit around and watch TV all day while people dote on you.  Well… welcome to the real world.

- The weather is beautiful here, but I stick out as an Oregonian.  While the rest of the town is in jeans and a sweatshirt, I am soaking up my vitamin D in shorts and a t-shirt.  Granted it is in the 70’s!

- If there is one thing I hate more than being sick, it is looking like I feel ( sick ).  So… Bring on the sunshine and give my skin some color! Which leads me to…

- I did sneak out to the mall today.  Retail therapy never hurt a girl.  While walking around I found a lot of motivation to start working because there are so many cute summer trends I need to try!

- Walking around on campus has been fun because all of the students are here.  I feel like I fit in.  It’s nice to go unnoticed sometimes.  Especially since when I am inside the hospital I wear a mask and everyone stares. 

- I am quickly going through my stash of apples and power bars and missing Diet Pepsi greatly.  I might go on a quest to a market tomorrow to find some!

So much for the interesting… I appreciate your prayers and support!  I know that I am experiencing peace because everyone is praying.
