Fat Kid


A couple years ago, I was diagnosed with asthma.  It seems to be exercise and allergy induced.  I was given an inhaler, but I never used it because all I could think about was the fat kid in gym that used his/her inhaler as an excuse to get out of any and all activities.  The last two or three weeks biking has been rough.  I've been sucking air especially on inclines.  Lately, I've been sucking air on flat road too.  The cause is the tree pollen, but I refuse to rant at the tree pollen because the blooms and leaves are absolutely beautiful.  After some coaxing from a friend, I decided to see the doctor and get an inhaler.  I also talked to the doctor about the out of control allergy and asthma stuff.  She gave me two inhalers, so I could keep one on my bike.  Plus, she gave me this Singulair prescription that I have to take at night.  Honestly, I like to take my vitamins in the morning, so I'm not sure how it's going to work.  Sucking air, however, is not fun, so if she wants me to take it at night, I'll try to take it at night.  Instead of being the fat kid using my inhaler to get out of gym, I'm going to be the fat kid using my inhaler to get into gym!  Hey tree pollen, blooms, and lovely green leaves, give it your best shot.

You're lucky you have the inhaler on your bike.

As you pass other cyclists, you should pull out the inhaler and inhale dramatically as you zip by.

That would be awesome.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
