Lately I've been leading somewhat of an active life compared to this past year. I've started waking up earlier, and I'm able to stay awake longer. My weight has unfortunately stayed the same even though I've stopped snacking. I exercise daily which has seemed to help with my blood pressure and I no longer have that annoying ringing in my ears when my blood pressure rises.
At the moment I am babysitting a friend's huge golden retriever named Falco... he's just the funniest dog. He is very obedient which is awesome because our new puppy Rudy is the total opposite. By watching those two today I have notice that Rudy has been picking up a lot of behavior from Falco and I'm so glad to see that. My other dog Mia, a chihuahua, does not like being around either of them. She is very territorial. Rudy has been giving me a run for my money the last few months and his behavior is always horrible... hopefully Falco can show him a thing or two.
At the moment it's almost 98 degrees outside and even with our AC on 73 I'm sweating like a dog! I had a little "me time" outdoors today and got a tan which was very relaxing. The dogs were great about it and laid out in the sunshine right along side me. My favorite part of summer is getting a tan and going to the beach, which I will be doing in exactly 6 days!
Now that we're on that subject I just wanted to let you all know that I wont be posting for about two weeks while I'm gone. I got a lot of e-mails with ideas of what to post on and I'm just not sure because I got a lot of great ideas! As you bloggers can probably see, some of my followers don't actually own blogs of their own or even google accounts so they tend to e-mail me or twitter me more often. I would love to hear some ideas from my actual blogger followers. So far I got these ideas:
(By the way, your ideas don't necessarily have to be centered around Epilepsy. People with Epilepsy do most of the same things non-Epileptic people do, only with caution!)
- A post about some of my favorite products such as skin care, hair care, makeup, headache medicine, etc. This was one of my favorites because an off-blogger follower asked me to write a post about products that I use all the time, and why I like them so much.
- A post about my family. I get a lot of e-mails asking about how my family feels about my condition and if I don't do my next post on it, I'll do one eventually because my family is a very important part of my life.
- A post about ways to deal with anxiety. I added a few of the things I do in different posts but I've been asked by two people that suffer from occasional but serious anxiety (just like me) to do a post on things that I do to help escape the horrible feelings that anxiety can bring on a person.
- A post talking about different organizations and websites in the U.S. that are devoted to Epilepsy. This is also a great topic.
Feel free to vote on one of the topics above or leave me feedback on a topic that you would like to see. My e-mail is mandykrzywonski@yahoo.com if you would like to reply that way but I love to see comments on my blogs so I can see who is actually reading! The topic with the most votes will become the topic of my next blog.
Lastly, if you haven't already, please check out my FaceBook page and my Twitter! The twitter is brand new so there's not many posts yet but in about a week I plan to get on and start adding more stuff daily.

Once again, thanks for all the feedback. My mind is blown because I never thought I would get this many viewers. It's just so awesome! God bless you all and have a great evening!
Your Epilepsy Blogger,

This is a photo I found from an anonymous photographer of the oil spill that is ruining the lives of so many animals. This is something I care about very much because everything about the ocean means so much to me and this just shows the horrible job that some people do to take care of our earth. I understand it was somewhat of an accident but I encourage everyone to donate and do their part to clean up this huge mess.
I always like to hear about a person's family. So I vote for family. I'm certain you have a very special one.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the oil damage is so painful to see. I can hardly stand to think about what this has done to the wildlife. It's so awful.
Vote for family here too. Nice to hear the dogs getting along. My labrador,Robbie will not know how to be sociable.
ReplyDeleteThank you guys for voting! My family blog will be up next after the winning choice, which was obviously a list of my favorite products. I hope you guys will check out the lists and maybe even try a few of the products!
ReplyDeleteTo Ann: I know, the oil damage is painful to see. I have a very weak spot for animals and I believe that the Earth we live on truly is one of the greatest gifts from God and it pains me to see the way we have ruined it.
To Keats The Sunshine Girl: My dog Mia wasn't good at being sociable but I try to surround her by other dogs and slowly she's getting there but it really is taking a lot of time! Pet Robbie for me!
