Email and Calendar

Okay, so I know I need to post about more important things than this, but right now I'm stressed about this.

I WANT A CALENDAR ON MY COMPUTER.

I currently use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email - which probably isn't smart. I should maybe just use Gmail itself, but I'm not sure. I currently have about 4,000 emails in my inbox (yeah, that number is CORRECT), so I'd have to sort them all and open them all and it'd be a disaster to get my gmail back in shape... but I'd have to do the same thing if I switch to Microsoft Outlook...

The reason I like Outlook is because of the calendar. I wand a calendar on my computer that is easy to use, has pretty colors for different kinds of events (like UWMBDA is all purple, babysitting blue, doctors are RED, and other is Yellow). Ideally I'd like to be able to sync it with the iPhone, because that's the whole reason I'd get an iPhone - so the internets and my day planner are with me at all times and I can carry a smaller purse.

I have dowloaded Mozilla Sunrise or whatever it's called - Sunbird? I don't know - whatever their calendar thingy is. And neither it nor Thunderbird will sync to the iPhone. GAR. But I don't think Google Calander will sync either... Does anyone know this for sure???

I'm so confused!!!

Maybe I should just continue to carry a huge purse, my giant day-planner with all my med and doctor info in it, and one or two notebooks for ideas... because that's what I'm doing now. *Le sigh*

Google Calendar should definitely work on an iPhone. Here's a link:

You don't need to switch to using Gmail, either. Just log in to Calendar and use it separately. There is also a sync tool for Outlook:

So you could even use it with Outlook while still being able to see it online.

CF Contact

Image
Me and Trinity: What a cutie! Chest PT on a baby: The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation discourages any contact among CF patients. Personally, I think this is overreacting at its best. Yes, some precautions need to be taken, but it has been blown totally out of proportion. I am writing this because the other night at Concert on the Square I held Trinity. Her mom handed her over to me, and we were talking and then she told me that Trinity has CF. I asked if I should take precautions and her mom said that it was okay for me to interact with her - and I feel that as long as the parent says it's okay, it's okay with me. And I did her chest pt - and it was a nice break for the parents. They have three children under three and two of them have CF. They have a 3-year-old with CF, an 18-month-old without, and Trinity, 2-months-old, with CF. If any family needs a break it's this one. I have always wanted to work with CF kids - and I know how much the CF Foundation would have nothin...

Change of Plans

I had my weekend all planned out, and all I had to do was last through it. I knew that was going to be hard when I realized how bad my lungs were on Tuesday. Dancing was nearly impossible. Yesterday and today I have worked hard to get things ready for the benefit tomorrow night - and I called clinic and we arranged for me to be admitted on Saturday. We'll see if I make it to the elections or not. I'd like to, but maybe it's pointless. I think I'll call clinic tomorrow and ask them to see if my room could be ready by, oh, 10 am or something like that. That way, maybe by evening I'll have some antibiotics running. *le sigh*. I'm doing this by myself. I and Mom decided that she can come down later in the week if I need her - which I might. Right now, I'm pretty fucking sick. I'm going to bed at this ridiculously early hour so maybe I have a prayer of lasting through tomorrow. I also realized this evening how few people understand this. They don...

A word about my sinuses

Ow. (Note, this is not a complaint. I am simply stating that I am currently in a state of pain.) WARNING: EXTREME AMOUNTS OF SARCASM AHEAD. Even though the pain is so bad I can barely stay awake, I am still able to run and jump and sing and dance (because, DUH I'm addicted to running and can't stop... I LOVE my lungs and all they do for me!) and I will be doing a marathon soon, so watch for that. I will be DANCING the marathon, and singing the whole way. What do you think, should I sing Hannah Montana??? And High School Musical??? Whadda ya think??? And since the only thing that seems to help the pain are my migraine pills, I will be popping them like candy. I will put them in rolls and eat them like Smarties. Mmmm Migraine Smarties. Never mind the fact that you are never supposed to take more than 2 in a 24 hour period. I need them to stop the pain of the goo oozing into my brain, so I'll eat them like candy. And maybe it will kill me, so despite the fact that I a...
