Filming, Journaling and Projects

  Filming at Home

Allowing people to come into your home and film is a big risk you take. My roommates and I rent out our home all the time to people but the thing is, yes they pay us but it is really annoying. I don't like being home alone too much which is probably why I live  with 3 other roommates. I love it cause I can be alone when I want and also have the house to myself a lot. But on the flip side of that I also can hang out with a roomie or neighbor and that's nice too. So I get the best of both worlds. But this last film crew have been for a legit production company. So there start showing up at 5:45 am and are here till sundown. It's crazy and busy and theirs like 30 people here at all times which is crazy to me. I walk out and get these looks like I've never seen her before (duh cause I live here) lol. It's not too bad I get some free grub and worse if I don't like it I just go eat some of my own food. :) the art director is really sweet and she is always checking on me cause I stick around I don't like people being here when none of us are you know? 

Lately I have been journalism a lot. I figured if I start journalist maybe it will help me with my bad habit of gossiping and blurting things out (99% of the time about myself) that no one really needs to know or wants to know. Like who cares if I got sick off of peanut butter once? Lol. It's been really healthy for me. I also have decided to start writing again like I use to back in the day. I miss it. I truly truly do. I use to write for a lot of things like poems, blogs, articles, short stories, novels, books, etc... I need to start harboring my creativeness a little more. 

Lately I have been getting into doing little projects here and there. One project I started thanks to Ms. Tara Pitt she got me stuff to knit with for my birthday and so I have been trying to knitt with it but it's hard I will tell you that. I also went through a bunch of my clothes and got rid of them ones that don't fit or unstylish etc. well the ones that were too big I tried to make into other articles of clothing and it was a partial success partial epic fail. I'll have to attach a photo maybe later of the jacket I cut up for a running outfit and well it failed miserably. Another one that I started was redesigning and organizing my room which I almost get done finishing and than start over with a new look. I think deep down I was meant to be an interior designer a bit, or a merchandiser! Because when I was little I use to rearrange my room all the time when I couldn't sleep and poor Brittany had to wake up and be disoriented cause I moved everything around :-( last project has been me getting involved in some photography/modeling it's been a lot of fun. I did a shoot the other day where they cut and colored my hair it was a before/after shoot. Really neat and cool!

Until next time :-). BEE

Life lessons

I came across this online Thought I'd share!!

45 LIFE LESSONS, WRITTEN BY A 90 YEAR OLD

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short not to enjoy it.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… But don’t worry; God never blinks.

32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

It's About Dang Time

So as most of you all know when it comes to my immune system/health it has not been the best the last couple of years. About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with POS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome,which is fancy for being I have multiple cysts on my ovaries. This was a big shock to me as prior to that I was quite a normal human being (besides being overweight) but health wise I was okay besides a scratch here, broken thumb there. Lol. So this was a very large stumbling block to conquer. Had to change my diet and start on daily meds to help was quite overwhelming in the beginning but now I'm ok. After doing research I discovered this is actually one of the number one diseases among women and 75% of the time it goes undiagnosed. I believe all women should get tested for it cause it can cause and solve a lot of female issues if diagnosed properly or undiagnosed. Okay, okay I'll get off my soap box now.

Two years ago I was hospitalized for tonsillitis in the ICU for 2 weeks getting out only 2 days before my older sisters wedding....phew that was close!!

Over the past several months I have had multiple incidents where I had to go into the ER only for me to get mixed results. I always went in for the same basic complaint, not being able to breathe well, but each time other complaints piled up with it. For instance fever coming and going, running nose, diahrrea, chronic cough and the list goes on. Each time Dr.s ran test and all the tests showed nothing so they always sent me home with different excuses. I was having a panic attack, I have anxiety, I'm imagining things, I just have the flu etc. and each time I had to go back to ER my symptoms were worse and stronger I'd have to call out of work for a day or go in and just not be on my A game which is bad for business. Than I'd be okay for a week or for a few weeks and than the systems came back. Ugh. Soooo frustrating!!

On Wednesday I called 911 to my apt cause I couldn't breathe or practically move had no energy my heart rate why all over the place chest was tightening up and I was freaking out. Mostly cause I couldn't breathe. I would have asked for a ride but no one was around. When the paramedics got there they put oxygen on me and my heart rate and blood pressure was through the rough. I was admitted into Olympia medical center and FINALLY have answers!! I have chronic bronchitis. So I'm on strict orders every four hours to do a breathing treatment so it will help open up my lungs and allow me to breathe and does help otherwise If I don't do it I go into a crazy coughing fit.

I wanna thank everyone who has driven me to or home from the ER at some point, listened to me whine about how I hate hospitals, read my distressing Facebook statuses, prayed for me and just been for me at all over the past few months. I'm just so glad we finally have answers!!!!

Woo-Hoo!!
