day 12, bell's palsy

i feel REALLY, REALLY good today.  like i have 75% control of my face.  i even think i can blink on my own now (at least that's what i think.   we'll see about this as the day goes).  


recap of friday night...i was tired from work so i ended up not helping with the fund raising dinner's set up (bad!!!!).  we went to the dinner and had fun...we even won a couple of the raffle prizes.  it is very modest compared to st. thomas more's cioppino fund raising dinner but it's also a smaller school.  anyway, hopefully in the future it will grow to be a bigger event.


yesterday, we went to palo alto for angelina's birthday party.  michelle had a lot of fun and got to pet some pretty 'exotic' animals like a walking stick, a millipede, ferret,  blue tongued skink, a snake, a parakeet, a baby mouse, and a tarantula..oh wait, she didn't touch the tarantula but i did!  hahaha!  nakikibata ako!  i was of course exhausted.  i wore my patch during the party because i know that it will be a long day - you don't know what kind of toll bell's palsy can take on your body unless you've had it.  my dad was our chauffeur again for the day (love my dad!) while paul was at practicing at church.  



these two are always together
i am so glad to be finally off of steroids!  wooo hooo!  i think i gained 5 lbs in the last 10 days...so today i started to eat healthy again and hopefully i can lose 15 lbs before we head off to palm springs on june 1st (yeah, good luck with that, almira!).  has anyone been to palm springs?  i don't really know what there is to see out there.  i just wanted to go because i've never been + we have a timeshare property in palm desert.  we're only there from friday to sunday...i'm thinking of going for an easy hike on Saturday morning and the rest of the time will be spent by the pool (if it's not too hot).  i just want to relax.  i told paul that the summer will be ALL ABOUT CALIFORNIA for us.  we blew all of our vacation money on our trip to italy so we can't really afford to go anywhere else but california.  =D
