Thanks Day 28 (5 Days off work!)

Tonight I am very sad to see my 5 day break from work end. It was a wonderful time off, infact it was amazing. Thanksgiving x2, Black Friday, Christmas spirit, lazy time on the couch, Football...and lots of it, Family time, and pure holiday fun.

However, despite being sad it's over, I am VERY thankful that I had 5 days off to begin with. My job allows me off every weekend, and holiday. I am so thankful to have been able to have this time off, especially to spend with Scott. It's been a long time since we had so much time off together due to his school/work schedule. Goodbye 5 days off and hello back to work tomorrow. I will miss you good old days off, thank you for letting me enjoy 5 of them :)

Day 26 (Black Friday and my parents surprise!)

Black Friday is one of my most favorite days of the year! Yes, I know I am officially insane in admitting that. For me, it's not just about the shopping (don't get me wrong, I love it) but it's about the start of the Christmas season, and just the feeling in the air.

My best friend and I have a tradition of going out every Black Friday. Each year our time that we meet seems to get earlier and earlier. This year we met just after 3:30 am to get in line at Target. Normally I don't "need" anything from the stores, just go for the fun. However this year I was out for a gift to surprise my parents. I bought them a 46" flat screen TV! We decided to take it over to them last night as a surprise. I had just talked to my Dad on the phone and told him I was going to bed after a long day of shopping (hehe, not). We drove over, and then walked in the door with a gigantic box. Merry early Christmas to them! They LOVED it!!!!!

Back to Black Friday...I pretty much got a few odds and ends I wanted to pick up and am finished. I was honestly about 90% done already (thank you amazon.com!) The only person to buy for is Scott, and he's mostly done online anyway so it's perfect.

Yesterdays marathon shopping lasted 15 hours. I really really wish I would've worn a pedometer all day. I'm positive we walked well over 10 miles in steps. It was an awesome day!! Here's to kicking off the Holiday's and to one of my favorite days of the year yesterday. I'm so Thankful for the fun I had and the joys of Black Friday!

SO Thankful (CF stuff)

I'm thankful for so many things all the time, but especially this week after this crazy infection thing seems to be under control now.

I'm thankful I'm back to work after missing only 2 days, but still it's nice to feel "normal"

I'm thankful that my blood sugars are normal. I thought I felt them going high this week after being on some antibiotics, but I checked them several times now and they been normal, *sigh of relief*

I'm thankful the Cipro is doing it's job and my lungs feel great!

I'm thankful I was FINALLY ABLE TO GO TO THE GYM AGAIN!!!! I did 2 miles, and several different forms of weight training yesterday.

I'm thankful my sinus headaches are gone after getting back on my sinus rinses. Gross, but wow are they great.

I'm thankful for my wonderful CF friends/community who are there to answer questions and give advice when I need it. It's great to know someone out there can relate.

I'm thankful for my wonderful CF Nurse who gets back to me so quickly after I have questions or concerns.

I'm just thankful to feel Healthy, and I know how much of a gift that is.
