Five For Friday 12/27/13

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

What. A. Week.

Not in a bad sense whatsoever…It was just a bit crazy at times, extremely busy, and quite magical.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • No PT.
  • 2 workouts at the Michigan Athletic Club (My teaching partner gave me a 7 day “friends and family” pass so Allie and I lived it up at the MAC on Monday and Tuesday).
  • No doctors (2 weeks in a row. That must be some kind of RECORD).
  • I have started sleeping again (Knock on wood). Crazy how a break can help with that.

Hope Comes in Many Forms

Live. Love. Michigan.

A company I had not heard of until a few weeks ago, when my friend, Sara, posted a link to my Facebook wall asking if I wanted to vote. I was confused so I read further and saw that this company was asking for people to nominate their favorite Michigan non-profit for their Hold on to Hope Campaign.

30 Things: Invisible Illness Week 2013

Hi friends! Invisible Illness Week is fast approaching (September 9-15). I was asked to fill this out, and just before I was about to respond with, “I already did it two years ago,” I thought about it and realized a lot has changed in two years.  Therefore, some of my answers are different and some have remained the same.  I wanted to post it early, before school starts, since I am unsure how my body will respond or adjust to being back to work again.  So here you go. My 30 things.

Trying to get this post in before the new week starts! I feel like I have been busier since school has gotten out…Not sure how that happened, but I am trying to fit everything in and still be able to function. Needless to say, I’m making sure I am getting in those non-negotiable naps each day!

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. Leg springs, arm bike, elliptical, floor work.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • 2 Dance Practices. Half of the advanced routine to go and we will be ready to teach! Coaching begins Friday!
