3 months, another surprise and a HUGE step for awareness

Cletus...he's the silent type.

3 months.

I've been listed for 3 whole months.

CRAZY.

Seriously? Already? And what's even harder to fathom is the fact that I haven't tripped over my O2 tubing and accidently strangled myself yet.

Wow.

What a great freaking day, guys. Where do I even start?

I knew I was getting another surprise. Brad told me before he left that something was coming for me. He loves watching my eyes bust out of my head and me dancing around all ecstatic (and then trying to breathe). I try to guess, but in reality I don't want to know.

I love surprises!!!

Brad texted me and asked if I had checked the mail yet. I got all excited, started giggling and dancing around, so Heather went down for it. She came back up with an envelope and a pink slip.

Wait...I got fired?

Fired from physio?? Oooooookay!!!! Jealous Carman? Mark?

The pink slip gets stuck on your mailbox indicating that there is a parcel for pick up at the concierge's desk. Well, I lost it. I couldn't even handle myself! This time, there was no way I was letting Heather go down by herself. I grabbed Squeaker and we flew out the door.

The parcel:

Looks fantastical, right?

I'm standing there with a stupid grin on my face when the concierge brings it out. I burst out "Ooooooooooo wow! I wonder what's inside???"

My eyes find the label. I read "Metro Dispensary".....it's my refill of meds from NS. All I can do is laugh. I got so crazy for...drugs!

We race back upstairs and my greedy little hands (well actually I have piano hands) grab the envelope.

And here is my real surprise:

It's hard to see on here; the back reads "Jess - I wish you all the best. Thank you for being so brave & positive. All my love, Ingrid."






Holy shazzzzaaaa! Post card from Ingrid Michaelson!!! Who just happens to be one of my favorite singers!!! That song, "Keep Breathing", I posted a link to a few blogs back? That was her.

She has such a soothing and stunning voice and is so freakishly talented.

Since we're such good friends now, we should probably go on tour together.

Thanks to my tall, dark and handsome once again! Thanks Ingrid!!! Sooooo cool!

Could this day could get any better?

YES IT CAN!

There is an awesome reporter back home that's been following and printing my story since 2008. His wife has CF and is equally as awesome....they participate in the CF fundraiser Great Strides every year and raise big $$$$.

Today a new article came out. View it here.
