Hello To Everyone Who Reads My Blog!!!!

I have been resting and restoring self. I had to withdraw from this semester...having two sick sisters will do that to you. I will be returning in the fall and looking forward to it. 

I decided to vlog everyday this month For Lupus Awareness Month (VFLAM). You can watch if you so choose to at www.youtube.com/sexyharlem125 if you have any questions and would like for me to answer in my vlog you can send your questions to www.gmail.com/thatgyrlfujica and i will most certainly answer to the best of my ability.
This is my journey in lupus and i am choosing to let others view me everyday for 31 days. I actually got inspired by someone else and just jumped right in and committed myself..lol sound like straight jacket material lolololol. I will be doing my best throughout the whole 31 days.

I walked in the lupus walk yesterday at the south street seaport, i had so much fun, i walked and i vlogged. When i crossed the finish line i felt an emotion of self accomplishment...they had a dj who was playing music...i got right out there and started dancing, i felt good. I texted my friend and told her i was leaving...i went home and took a nap...woke up not being able to move like i was before i laid down. It's going to take a few days to get back to my type of normal.

So I guess if i can vlog everyday, i can come here once a week on Sundays to fill all those in that aren't going to watch the vlogs...yeah, i know....just stepped in "it" again lol. I'm doing something different...acting on my ideas as long as they don't harm me too much...so blogging once a week while i'm vlogging everyday should be an experience that i will never forget. I'm into making memories now so i'm doing my best to step outside the box and do some things that i haven't done before or was simply afraid to for thinking what someone else would think of me....no more of that, i'm living for me and only me now.

I am also on facebook if you would like to friend me there www.facebook.com/crystaluniquelydesignedsampler 

If you know someone with lupus...give them a hug, it means more than you would ever know...take care and see you all next sunday!!!

Hello Fellow Bloggers, 

I have been through so much in the last week that it is crazy. There has been a break up, two sisters in the hospital at the same time, platelets up and down and alot of stress. I am finally able to go back to school tomorrow. I'm behind in my homework and i am disappointed, because at one time i was ahead of myself. I hope that i can catch up, i have not done any homework. I am so tired i'm just going to go to bed. Short blog. 

Have a good evening.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

Yes, i have been out of touch lately but school, homework and the snow does that to you sometimes. We are due for more snow soon and i am tired of it right now, in the beginning it was cute but now ummm not so much. 

I am having the hardest time with this algebra, omg!!! when you have been out of school for awhile and you go back it's amazing how much you have lost, i have never done algebra at all and it is very hard for me to get it down, however i will not let it beat me, i am going to do it!!! lol.

I hope everyone is doing well, i wanted to just pop in to say HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, please enjoy and turn up safely with the ones you love

Take good care,

First Day Of College Prep

My first day of College Prep was quite confusing. I got my schedule last week that told me i didn't have classes on Monday and Friday...well guess what, i got a schedule change and a class alteration. Now i have classes everyday...i like one thing although it really doesn't make sense, however to them i guess it does. On Tuesday and Thursday i only have one class and it starts at 10:25 am. Wednesday is the longest day i have and Monday and Friday only 2 classes. 7 books and two of them i don't think i need so i am going to be sure that they are needed before i start carrying them. So overall we thought we were supposed to be in math class when were weren't our original class started at 10:25 am. This was our college prep writing class and when i tell you there is more to writing than just thinking of what you want to write and doing it..i am so so serious. This is going to cause me to be off the internet however i will do my best just to come in and type something short if i can and i'm not too tired. Tomorrow is another day...Wednesday, the longest day of the week and hump day. This is me, getting my Education!!!. Have a wonderful evening everyone!!

I'm Back!!!

This weekend has been very informative. If anyone is keeping up with my blogging i truly appreciate it. My niece came over yesterday and we were wearing each other's school Id cards lol. It was funny and I am so proud that she is now a college freshman who is taking up Italian, i told her not to be talking about me about my back lol. I am truly a proud auntie. It was a struggle to get her to this point but i knew she would get there as soon as she saw the world through different eyes.

 

I am washing clothes and catching up on emails, blogging and preparing for tomorrow, Its the first day of school and i will be getting my books. I cannot wait until things go on sale for tax time, i have the feeling i am going to need a mircosoft program of some sort and hopefully i can catch a good sale at either office max or staples. If anyone has any suggestions about where i can pick one up for a nice price just let me know.

I want to thank you all for your continued support even though i wasn't here very much. Like i said before, i will be blogging more and possibly having more people reading. 

Sometimes when you think you have made a friend, that isn't always true. Most people have their own agenda about what 'they' want you to do for 'them'. It pains me when i find out who they really are when that could've been told upfront, alas, you live and you learn...that's why i try not to get to close. I am only responsible for me and Gizmo (my cat). 

Now, i am off to finish the laundry and check the emails. Zoya is doing something i don't like and it's my fault because had i read the fine print i wouldn't have ordered for the first time. 

Take good care everyone...

Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr... 

Hey Bloggers!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!!!

I haven't been this way in a long long time. Now that i have a laptop i can come directly. I am so happy i can get back to doing this. My lupus is doing much much better and that's because i am taking a new medication and it's on a high dose. I thought i was going to have to go thru hip replacement surgery and have been thru a battery of tests. I am doing very well overall. I have lost 35 pounds and am doing my best to keep it off!!. The reason for the weight loss is because i was a boarderline diabetic, since i lost the weight and changed my diet, i am no longer in that range. I feel so good i swear!!!

Since i have been doing much been doing so much better i've decided to start school and take a college prep course...the last time i started school in 2011 i got sick and got one or two weeks away from graduation and became sick with a lupus flare that taught me a serious lesson. I am a returning student at MEOC (manhattan education opportunity center) and i am taking college prep and i haven't gotten my books yet, i will get them on tuesday when i go for my first day of class.

I will be sure to come over here more often now that i have a laptop and update you all with what's going on in my busy life...thank you all for hanging in there with me and have a blessed weekend!!!

Two days before Christmas, I have a Dr appt. He will not be seeing me because I do not feel like sitting in a crowded waiting room. Every time I go to see him I have an attitude and my blood pressure is up because of the waiting. I just don't feel like it and as a lupus patient I can say that. 

I have my pernil marinating in the fridge and my stuffing is done, since I am not goin  to the Dr my dinner will be done the day before and if I feel like going out for a little while I can or I can just stay home on Christmas and relax. I have to see how I'm going to feel about that.

I don't really expect any gifts at all, Christmas is basically for the children. It would be nice tho. I don't know why but it seems as if the spirit of the holiday has left me. I don't know if it's because so many ppl have died and gone on or because I'm just not in the mood. I smile and enjoy the ppl around me but they really don't know how I feel. Instead of doing what I always do maybe I will spend this Christmas with people I can trust  Me Myself and I.

I'm going to do my Mac and cheese tonight because my pernil will have  to cook for almost 6 hours tomorrow.

For all those who read my blog, happy holidays to you and your family and many blessings for a wonderful new year!!
