~*~ Confessions and Thoughts of a Girl Looking to the Future~*~

Awww.. you're ill? Poor Jenna. However, I'm going to blame it for all of those hours you spent this weekend trying to finish Harry Potter! hahaaaa Really hope you start feeling better. Eat lots of strawberries and kiwi! (Loads of Vitamin C)

Hi Jenna, just wanted to stop by. I'm sorry you are feeling sick. I hope you feel better real soon. Take it easy today. :hug2:
 
Sheryl and Rebecca thanks for stopping by:)

I'm guessing its a combo of lack of sleep and the weather going up and down... it just needs to get stable! It may be for the better I have a midterm today that I wasn't gonna study for and I was gonna go to the gym instead... maybe i'm supposed to study:confused:

Breakfast was 3 eggo multigrain pancakes (1serving) ...nothing on them and lots of vitamin C and Echineca!

I need to stop procrastinating it makes me have to do too many things at once ... then I have to make choice ... like gym or study (today that decision has been made for me)... ughhh soo many things about me I need to fix! I guess its good I realize these things?
 
I used to be a big procrastinator and sometimes I still am! Sorry your feeling ill! If you eat more you will feel better, and drink lots of fluids! You'll be back on track in no time! I like your cat..lol! have a great day!....xo Erica :)
 
Hey Jenna,
Don't beat up on yourself because you can't go to the gym, I am sure studying is pretty important to you too ... take advantage... figure this is a day for your brain to get a work out :)

I hope you feel better soon however, so you can hit the gym. The gym can be a very exciting place. In November I am joining, once the snow is about to fall. I plan to be working out all year! :)

Keep it up girl...and your breakfast sounds wonderful...
Hope you are well soon :)

best wishes
always

Hey girl, sorry you are sick! Summer colds are the worst. My best friend has one right now, too.

Get well soon!!!!
 
Hi Erica,Natalie and Amber... Thanks soo much for stopping by... I hate being sick in the summer but tomorrow I'm totally gonna just deal with it and do what I have to:)

My mother went to the doctor today and he thinks on top of her RSD that she may have Rheumatoid Arthritis... It all is confirming my fears that she may not be around for a very long time :cry: She has to go for blood tests in 6 weeks for her cholesterol problems and just to monitor her from all the meds she's on for the RSD... there going to test for the Rheumatoid Arthritis then... I really really hope that it comes back negative :(

Snack:watermelon
Lunch: lean cuisine Mac n' Cheese (i'd been craving mac n' cheese for over a week)
 
I'm sorry about your mom. What is RSD? Arthritis, fortunately, is fairly treatable.

My mom was a teenager when she had me, which wasn't great...but I am thankful that it means she will be around for me longer... She really wants a grandkid now, and cannot understand how I can be 27 and NOT have kids yet, since she had 2 kids, plus two foster kids by the times she was 23.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, Jenna. :) Don't be sad, just remain positive... like you usually are, you wanna-be "pessimist." :p Just wanting to bring a smile upon your shrinking face....

Rheumatoid arthritis isn't just like regular arthritis its really chronic and causing all sorts of other problems. RSD is Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy... its set off by a truamatic injury (in my mom's case almost amputating two of her fingers) where the nerve signals for pain become over sensitized and can not be shut off causing constant pain and its crippling. My mom's hand has become deformed discolored she's in constant pain while on hardcore narcotics 24 hours a day... its also possibly spreading. The meds she's on is causing her to gain tons of weight. So Rheumatoid arthritis on top of it would just be horrible.

Life with my family was hard ... my parents didn't live together for awhile... my mother was in a deep depression and tried to kill herself a few times, her neck was broken and had to be fused (what set off the depression) my father couldn't handle it, there were problems wiht my mothers side of the family, I pretty much had to take care of me and my brothers I was the protector... one of my brothers is bipolar, add, and has oppositional defiance disorder and was never properly treated as a child because all of this other stuff was going on so now he has a lot of problems at 19 that my parents have to actually deal with... I took the grunt of the yelling and the beatings and whatever else... sorry I'm putting this all out here... I've finally mad eit through college and accepted that that was my past and I'm ready for my future with them... and I love my parents I always had just kinda resented and hated them for awhile (you know what I mean?).. and now that its good I don't want to lose my mom

My grandmother keeps hinting about wanting a baby around... she doesn't really care who it comes from but out of her 7 grandchildren I'm the only one over 20 who has a long term partner that i'm going to have a life with... and althought we have the names picked out already we won't have children until were done with law school and have jobs so we can support them.

Sheryl: Thanks so much for stopping by you always make me smile:)
 
Sorry about all my ramblings before... it all just sort of comes out once I think about it... i tried to gloss over it as quickly and easily as possible.

Did anyone watch the youtube cnn democratic debate tonight. It was soo great... a great idea let the people ask the questions through popular media. The questions were great it was a lighter atmosphere than usual. Things like this will get a younger generation involved in politics and the country.. there were even kids asking questions. It was soo wonderful. I personally am really into politics ... i think its really important... I wasn't even raised in a political home... although, how could I be a sociology major and not be really interested in politics?

Dinner tonight was a chicken stir fry sandwhich i only ate half the bread though:)
 
missed the democratic debate.....but definately should have watched it!!! Im kinda pulling for Barak Obama....think it will be a good change.

hope you are feeling better!!! Maybe working out will help.

take care
 
I'm pulling for Barack all the way!! My boyfriend and us spend hours watching his speeches and appearances on the computer... we are extremely well informed... if Hillary wins the nomination I won't be crying voting for her :)

I hope no one holds my political ideals against me... I have had very close relationships with people who think very differently from me politically :)
 
I'm sorry I've been soo doom and gloom... but... my fish just died... His name was prince but we called him princey... he was a crown tail betta fish, thus the name...I had him for 2 years... it was mine and my boyfriends first pet together...and it made me cry... probably because I was thinking of my mom... we just flushed him :cry:

I know this probably sounds really lame :0/

Well thanks for listening to my ramblings
 
Jenna, I am sorry about your fishy. I cried when mine died, too, so I don't think it is lame at all.

The RSD sounds horrible. How long has your mom had it? I can see where the RA is going to compound the problems.

I understand having the love and hatred feelings at the same time toward parents. Mine were drug addicts, so I spent a large part of my childhood being the adult in the house...it's hard and stressful and completely unfair. Kids shouldn't have to live that way. When my mom got clean and kicked my dad out I was 15. It was the best thing she could have done.

And, I am also a democrat, so your views are welcome with me! I am preferring Hillary over Barack, though. But there is time to change my mind!
 
Jenna, just stopping by to say that I hope you have a great day today. Looks like you've been dealing with a lot lately.

Griff
 
Griff: Thanks for coming by. I think graduating from college and changing my lifestyle is making me examine my past. I don't think its a bad thing ... just a lot of difficult things to examine. I guess i'm going through a lot of transition now... maybe a metamorphosis?

Amber: I'm sorry you had to go through that... Its so hard having to be the adult when there is no one else to be. I used to just want to scream at them and wake them up ... I couldn't understand why I could see all the problems and they couldn't... it just blew my mind:mad:

Well last night I got like zero sleep... about 2 hours... BUT... I am going to go to the gym today... I'm going to wait until about noon give my body sometime to relax a bit... maybe get a small nap in:jump: I have a weigh in in 6 days and I am going to have a loss on that scale... my body has changed...now hopfully he scale will go down:)

Breakfast: yogurt and some sort of fruit (I havn't chosen yet:) )

Have a great day everyone:jump:
 
Quote of the Day

There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
 
Mornin' sweetie! I've been horrible about keeping in touch. I read the a page of entries and I'm so sorry things have been that rough on you. You always come to lend me a hand, and I extend that offer to you. I feel so bad that I was self-absorbed in my own drama. I truly hope that today is better for you. You'll be in my prayers. :]
