Hello all my friends! Sorry I have not been back on, I went camping and then my first week of the semester started! Life has been nuts, but wonderful!
I have come to terms with the fact that I am chronically ill, and I am just happy to be alive for another day.
However, this is my first week of school and I had to miss a class yesterday to find out I have broncicits for the millionth time and I am coughing up black and blood. Today is day one with no cigs. I am taking horse pills and inhalers. I wish they had given me some cough meds, I can't afford my own. But, that's life.
School is wonderful, I am teachers pet and almost always am right... I might also be a bit annoying. I feel like Hermine from Harry Potter, hahaha.
Each day has is challenges, but my head is held high and I can make it through.
Plus, I've lost at least 20lbs since my wedding! I can't eat processed foods anymore! Healthy eating for me!

I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...

Bill, I am taking Human Interaction, Human Sexualities, Math and Nutrition. I am also tutoring people for free because I don't like the people I would have been working with.
I'm not too sure what I want to be yet, but I am an A, B student, and I feel like I could do anything I wanted (despite physical issues *Hopefully one day they will never both me, I will learn to deal better with being sick.*)
So, in short, I never slow down. I run, run, run *Run Like Hell is my phone ringtone, if that says anything about me*
Congrats and keep up the good work!
keep us posted on how your doing

Congratulations on your school and quitting smoking!! Also, good job on the weight loss:). There is only one thing that is bothering me about your post and it is that you said you are coughing up blood. Honey, even with bronchitis this is worrisome. If this is a new symptom please go back to your doctor or the ER. You need another evaltuation. I don't want to upset you but coughing up blood is not a normal side effect of bronchitis and you need to notify your doctor. Other conditions can cause this and it should be checked as soon as possible. Keep us posted!!
Hugs & God Bless

Sorry to hear you're so sick! Bronchitis is no fun. Coughing up blood? Do they know what's up with that? Feel well soon!!!
Here's hoping for less pain for us all!
