Puff Puff

I hate asthma. I hate that it slows me down. I hate that I have to use that stupid inhaler. I hate the feeling of my chest tightening. I hate having to gasp for breath. I hate that I feel out of shape when I walk up the stairs when in reality I just need my inhaler. 

Can you tell I'm in a bad mood? Well, not really a bad mood...more like annoyed by my health. It could be a lot worse though. In reality, even with my issues, I'm lucky. My mom knows a woman who just shaved her 4 year old daughter's head because her hair kept falling out from the chemo. I can't imagine the pain of cancer. Even closer to home, there is a man at St. Vincent who has the same problem I do...but his has lasted so much longer. He hasn't been able to keep food down since April 2007 and is now on a feeding tube. Yes, I am definitely lucky. 

Speaking of being lucky, I'm getting my new car tomorrow! It's a 2008 Honda Civic EX 4 door sedan. I'm going to get a Colts plate for it too, which I am obviously excited about. To make things even better, Dan's coming home tomorrow, which always makes my weekend great. 

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is going back to Ball State to get the rest of my things. I mean, I want to go visit, but moving out is such a pain. I got a call from my hall director today saying that I have two weeks to get my stuff out. So I guess I'll be making a trip up there for that soon. Probably in my new car! Can you tell I'm just a little bit excited about that? 

Ok, well it's back to cleaning now. Fun, right?
