oh hi there!

:: We were up all night with a sick Ocho on Saturday night...I'm still feeling tired from that, and need to catch up on some sleep!!!

:: Had a pretty good day back at work -- not too much happened while I was out so that was nice! Makes it easier!

:: Watched the Bachelor - Women Tell All -- that's always a fun one! Excited for the finale next week!!

:: Went back after work to do my run on the treadmill, and when I started changing clothes I realized that I had forgotten my sports bra!! Oi! Running would not have been too good without that, plus I realized I didn't have my iPod or headphones either...that would have been boring! So I switched and did zumba instead and it was fun! So, three running workouts left to do this week.

:: Had my follow up appointment with our nurse practitioner this afternoon -- she is pleased with how the maintenance inhaler is helping, so we are good unless it happens to get worse. She had the results from the pulmonary test, and went over them with me. She says I have mild asthma that borders on mild/moderate asthma. She believes that it is exercise induced but also allergy induced...so a double whammy coming at me. If I happen to be exercising outside (where all my allergies are located!), it will most likely trigger something. Add in some cold weather, and it is triggered even faster. I am going to try to do runs indoor on the treadmill a week, and do one outside if the weather isn't too cold. If I am ever going to run a 5k race, it will be outdoors, so I need to be able to handle that! So, that is my health update!

:: For my grandma, who asked, this is what my inhaler looks like, vs what my nebulizer machine looks like:

The inhaler is small and can fit in my purse. I take it twice a day, one puff in the morning and one puff before bed. The nebulizer is a breathing treatment for me to use when I am having difficulty breathing or am having an attack. It is larger, and has more moving parts like a hose and a mouthpiece that smokes. I have not used this yet, and hopefully won't have to!

:: Bunko tomorrow! Looking forward to it! Taking green bean casserole for a side dish! :)


:: Time to read my book!
