FPADC Days 1-3

 I'm a part of a February long challenge that Alex posted on her blog. It's called the February Photo a Day Challenge. Arianne has joined in, and a couple others on Instagram. It's fun to see what people come up with. You can join in too if you like! We're only on day 4. Here is the list (I took a picture on my phone so that I could always have the list near):



Day 1: Your View Today


Day 1 was not a very fun day for me as you may be able to tell from the picture. I had a midterm that day and I was going to work out but I had to go home because my roommate forgot her keys. Before I caught the bus home I got a bad headache. When I got off the bus I felt weak and sick to my stomach. Bryanne made chicken noodle soup and she left it up to me to look after it while she was gone for 20 mins...and I burned it! I felt so bad...both physically and emotionally. Boonie came to my rescue and brought me ginger ale and some chips. By the end of the night I was feeling better and my headache was almost gone. The next day I was aaaaalll better :D

I wanted to try to capture the feelings I had that day: stress, sick, sad. It's hard to think of anything else when you're lying in bed about to throw up.

Day 2: Words


This challenge has sure got me thinking all throughout the day! I didn't realize how seriously I would take it haha. I looked out all day for something awesome I could do for "words" but nothing was coming to me. I thought about how important words are to everyone. It's pretty much who we are as people because we wouldn't be able to do all the magnificent things we have done without our means of communication. Just ask someone with aphasia and they will tell you how important words are to them. Words, whether written, signed, gestured, or spoken, are everything, and I wanted to represent that.

Since it was getting late and I didn't have any amazing ideas, I resorted to taking a picture of my keyboard.
With this keyboard I can write all the words in the English language. I think that's pretty awesome.

Day 3: Hands


There are only one person's hands who I love as much as my own, and who's else could they be other than Burns'? Originally I was going to take a picture of us holding hands, but I didn't really like the way my hands looked haha. Then Burns put his hand in a heart shape, so I did the same to complete it. Just in case you can't tell, Burns' hand is on the left and my hand is on the right. He was even repositioning my fingers to make the picture look good.

Hands are pretty incredible things. No other creature in the world has as much dexterity and precise grip as humans do. And you've probably noticed that whenever you get a cut on your hand, you realize how often you hit that part of your hand. It amazes me every time how much I use every inch of my hands when I am injured somewhere on mine.

February Photo Challenge, you sure have got me thinking deep!
