Chronic Fatigue Awareness Day

May 12 was Chronic Fatigue Awareness Day.  Do you know what's funny?  Last year I heard about CFS awareness day for the first time was so excited to do something for it.  I did all this research and started making this youtube video.  But then I got SO tired.... and I couldn't finish in time... so I did nothing

So this year I started early.  I made this logo and I was going to make it into these cool buttons (and/or refrigerator magnets- I couldn't decide) and send them to everyone I know.  Then I was going to make a t-shirt with some snarky quote about CFS and wear it all month long.  And I created this entire awareness campaign around the phrase 'Let's Start Believing' where people with CFS could write funny stories about the horrible things people have said to them about their illness (doesn't sound like a funny idea until you get two or more sick people in a room at a time and then trust me, hilarious).

But you guys, I'm so tired.

The campaign was created only in my mind, the t-shirt design will have to wait until next year and my school bag has no button on it.

Sigh.

I'm afraid I'm starting to understand why no one knows that May 12 is Chronic Fatigue Awareness Day...

Back to School

Here's what we did all week

And by we, I really do mean we.  Not because Doug is going back to school, but because for me to go back to school it means that Doug has to do pretty much everything else.  He's pretty cool, huh?

Monday was the first day of my very first painting class on my way to a fine art degree at UVU.  I already LOVE it.  For the first time in a long time I feel like I'm doing something productive with the life I've been given and it's a pretty good feeling.  Even if it means I'll inevitably fall off the face of the planet until... oh... the year 2016ish.  

Worth it!
