Returning the News!

hey everyone its me checking in again, sorry i haven't posted lately but its been kinda crazy these past few months. But i just got back from my doctors appointment with my doctor, and it went wonderful! Dr.shaham is a great doctor and said my lupus health is in great progress and I'm doing excellent. IM super healthy and nothing is going wrong so thats a relief. they also lowered my medicine again, my steroids are cut down to only 25 milligrams in the morning =] and she completely cut out my carafate pills, now instead of taking medicine morning, afternoon, evening, and bedtime i only take pills in the morning and evening. That made me so happy, and I'm glad the medicine is slowly being lowered. I broke down a little in the doctors visit, i had to talk about how i don't get out much and hang out with my friends and be more outdoors, the reason why i don't do that stuff anymore is because my appearance has changed from the steroids and now i think I'm just very self conscience, and i know i shouldn't be but it just makes me wonder what other people say when they se me. And i get nervous and kinda emotional because i really miss being outdoors and getting out of the house. But my social worker and my nana really helped me through the visit and told me that i shine inside and out with great beauty, and i know if i just be myself my personality is all i need to keep my confidence up and everything will be okay! =] Im going to start writing again and being more like myself instead of the shell i was being. I miss the old me mor than i think i should, because i think I've grown to be so much stronger and look at the world in many more ways ever since i was diagnosed with LUPUS! I also started reading again, i stopped reading when igot diagnosed for some reason and haven't really acknowledged a book in a longtime. BUT now you can't get me away from a book, haha i just finished my book destined it goes to my series of the house of night by p.c cast and kristen cast, and oh my gosh it was great but now i got to way till October for the next book, which really displeases me. and today i finished a book called goddess of the seas, its also by p.c cast and it was a amazing. haha its a new series i just started. My homeschooling is going great, i have good grades and I'm going to be graduating from it pretty SOON! then i wil be a 10th grader, thats kinda scary to think about haha time passes by so fast these days, you gotta make sure you spend every second of it with great effort and love. Well imma go watch a movie and relax for the day, ill be back and tell you more news as soon as i can! See ya

HomeSchooling Started!

So my home studies finally started yesterday, and my tutor came and we got everything set up on the computer. His name is Mr.Pound and he comes twice a week, Mondays & Thursdays at 1p.m. and they are 2 hour sessions every time. I am taking 3 courses at the moment algebra, English, and business, so far I think its kind of hard! But I did my assignments today and its a lot of writing and essays, which kind of bores me but I know I got to get through these studies and graduate with my class.When I am done with those courses I will get more and then succeed in those. So wish me luck and hopefully the studies and assignments will get easier and I will get everything I can done to be great in school & catch up with all my work and grades!  Toodle Loo!! =]

Videos Of Me Driving The Dunes!

Me Driving the Sand Bowl with my cousin Miriam!

Backk From The Dunes!

Hey I'm back from Glamis, it was a great trip and I had a blast with my family! It was kind of hard for me though, because it was really hot and I had to be real careful about the sun! I  had to stay in a trailer or be all covered in the shade during afternoon hours, which really sucked because that's when everyone was having most of the fun! But I got to ride and have fun in the morning & evening, my papa taught me how to drive the razor! It was so much fun, I rode the dunes and he taught me a few tricks too. We had great food to, the first night we ate hamburgers, then we had chilli cheese dogs and those were really good! But over all smores night was awesome, I had smores with my cousin Miriam, we sat next to the camp fire and ate like piggy's! It felt good to get out and finally have an adventure with my family, my first lupus trip outdoors! I only had a few minor pains while i was there, but my back pains were getting pretty bad. but i think that was from riding the dunes and stuff. On the last day, we were getting all packed and started to head HOME. But we got stuck in dead traffic for 7 hours straight, it was horrible! The car ride really tore me up, I had a bad headache and back pains like crazy, right when we got home I crashed out. I kind of flared up from the sun, I was getting the butterfly rash again and a breakout of redness on my face. But I'm doing god right now, I feel good and I had an amazing time while I was in Glamis, so that's all that matters! I hope to do more adventures and just the strong Stasia I know I am. GLAMIS BABY!!!!! =] (Oh and in the picture its Me Driving and my cousin Miriam beside me.)

Big Glamis Trip!

Sand dunes here I come! I'm taking a family trip, my family and I are going to Glamis for the weekend. We are leaving Friday morning and coming back Sunday afternoon, its going to be a blast. I get to spend the weekend with my family and  my best friend  Mireya is tagging along with us for the fun also! We are going to be riding quads & razors, playing in the sand,using outdoor potty rooms, barbecuing good hamburgers & hot dogs,  roasting smores, and spending time with one another! =] Fun!Fun!Fun! My first lupus trip outdoors, this is going to be a great new adventure for me! I haven't been out in a while. Also, my papa is going to teach me how to drive in our new razor, its just like a car, hopefully I past the test haha. I'm ready to go, I got my sunscreen packed, hats, long sleeves, good pants, and all my medicine! Wish me luck, I'll take lots of pictures and enjoy myself! =] Tootles.

Asian Orange Chicken =]

Look what I made today, its a low sodium recipe for orange chicken! Orange chicken is like one of my all time favorite foods and i haven't been eating it since I started my low sodium diet in December. But today I just so happen to finally come across a recipe on yummly.com, I was in joy! So me and my nana went to the store and bought things we needed and started cooking! Its so good, the whole family enjoyed it! I even sent some over to my best friends house, they all said it taste great! The sodium level on it is only 43% and that's really good! I think this recipe is even better than buying the real expensive food. Its easy and simple to make, so look in your kitchen and try it out ! Im so glad i found some chinese food i can finally eat and enjoy! Today has been wonderful! =]

Homeschooling Time!

I am finally going to start my Home Studies! My mom and I went up to Chaffey Joint High School and got all the information and filled out all the stupid paper work, so I can start my homeschooling. I am excited and worried all at the same time, I have been out of school since December! I have a lot of studying and catching up to do,  if I want to graduate with all the right credits for this Freshman Year! It sucks that I cant take electives though, I really wanted to take a Journalism or Drama courses! That would've been Fun! I am trying my hardest to keep my head up and know that this homeschooling thing is going to help me out  get me all caught up ASAP. The teachers/tutors are going to be coming i think every day Monday through Friday but I am not sure I don't know my schedule yet. Hopefully the school gets all my information in and they call so I can start being a little normal.  I Miss School! & Waking up in the Morning! Its funny that I say that because I seriously didn't like high school at all. But now that I'm not in it I miss it like Krazy! Lol Well I'm going to take my medication and help make dinner! Talk to you laters!

Low -Sodium Cooking!

I went to Barnes and Nobles today with my Nana and Aunt Teresa, to go check out the new books, and cookbooks! I just got a new low-sodium cookbook with lots of yummy, healthy recipes in it. I can't wait to try something inside it, I was skimming through it and saw a delicious meal..its called "Shrimp Pasta Casserole." Hopefully its as good as it sounds! I tried to make homemade macaroni and cheese, but it turned out gross! So my dogs got to have a snack haha! I am not sure what I did wrong, I guess I need to find a better  recipe.

Random Dayz

Today went pretty well..my little brothers and sisters got enrolled at Vineyard Stem Magnet School! Then we went to the store and bought pizzas for dinner. Yummy! It sucks that I cat eat them though, because I am on a low sodium diet while i'm taking these dumb steriod pills. but i'm going to eat a chefs salad, healthy foods haha! I haven't had much pain today, only a little stomach ache and a light headache. My brothers and sisters are outside playing right now with all there friends, sounds like a lot of fun, its too cold for me to go so i'm here writing to you! How nice of me right? I had a dream last night, that they found a cure for lupus! Im not sure what it was but maybe someday we will find out. Well its medicine time for me. Gotta go! Have a great night bloggers!

Trying New Things!

I just found out how to make sausage I can eat. I am on a low sodium diet because of my Predisone medicine. yummy!
