Bacterial meningitis.

Bacterial meningitis is an infection to the meninges of the brain. The infection causes inflammation of the meninges mainly in the pia matter of the brain and arachnoid matter with less likely situations in the dura matter. The sign and symptoms of meningitis can vary from very simples signs to more serious ones but none should be taken lightly since meningitis can be a live or death matter. Bacterial meningitis can also be cause by many different species of bacteria such as Neisseria meningitis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenza, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptoccus agalactiae.  Those five species account for 90 percent of bacterial meningities cases with some of the other percent being normal mocrobiota, Streptococus pyogenes, gram-negative enteric bacteria and Klebsiella. Symptoms of bacterial meningitis arise from increased number of white blood cells in the central nervous system causing meningeal inflammation and high fever. Inflammation of the meninges causes pressure in the organs beneath them, which also causes severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, pain, and may also cause loss of some brain functions leading to the infected individual feeling drowsy, confused and irritated. There are also spinal meninges that when inflamed cause stiff neck, loss of sensory input and control of muscles. Encephalitis is a more serious form of meningitis in which the brain has become infected and may cause deafness, blindness, drastic changes in behavior, and more serious outcomes as coma and death. Symptoms of bacterial meningitis can surface quickly mainly being three to seven days after exposure. According to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, Babies younger than 1 month old are at a higher risk for severe infections, like meningitis, than older children. In newborns and infants, the classic meningitis symptoms of fever, headache, and neck stiffness may be absent or difficult to notice. The infant may appear to be slow or inactive (lack of alertness), irritable, vomiting or feeding poorly. In young infants, doctors may look for a bulging fontanelle (soft spot on infant’s head) or abnormal reflexes, which can also be signs of meningitis

gloomy day.

Why are there so many evil people is this world that try to make other peoples lives just as miserable as theirs. This is even worst when it is at the place of employment. I honestly need to get another job because I just need a new environment. That is all I am going to say to keep it professional and not talk about it because I am classy. I am here sitting in class and sometimes I just get to think how my future will be and if I will get everything that I want. There is just too many things going around in my life and I just do not know hot to handle all of them at one point. I know it seems like I keep on saying the same thing over and over on many of my blogs but I feel like everyday something else happens that makes me feel that way. One thing that I am looking forward to is having this weekend and maybe getting some rest and catching my thoughts. I nee to go to the doctors because I have not been feeling well and I am the kind of person that worries about everything and think I am dying.  God I feel so depressed and sad a lot of the time and do not know what to do with my self. I need some well-deserved vacations with my family. I could just sleep for days if I could.  Night peeps.

two more weeks.

Holly cow I just realized that we only have this week left and part of next week left before the end of the semester. It is time to start doing all kind of studying all night and probably part of the day too. I am currently finishing my English research paper which my computer accidently deleted about seventy five percent of it when it magically decided to shut its self off. I had a nervous break down and cried for about an hour but there was nothing I could do about it I tried to recover it but it only recovered about two pages of it. It was one of the worst feeling ever and now I know why people always say save your paper at least every ten minutes just to make sure it is saved. Well blah blah time to move on and finish it up so I can study for my other two finals that I have next week. Honestly I am mainly worried about micro because that class is the devil and it is accumulative. Anatomy final is only going to be over three chapters so I am not too worried about but I still have to study plenty for it to make sure I get a B in the class. One thing that has been on my mind is not knowing if I made it to the nursing program so I guess we are playing the waiting game. I should probably go to bed soon since I work in the morning.

The grass is not always greener but!

So much for having another good day my day went down the drain at work. One thing that I cannot stand is fake people that try too hard. To each its own but once you start being fake to me I will tell you about your self.  I always have said be what you want to be don’t let other people tell you what to do but one you start preaching about what you are all respect has been lost. Another thing or trait I should say is people who like being sneaky. My friend and me call them snakes because they act just like them. Another thing also is I have never worked in a job before were everyone is so scandalous always trying to get somebody in trouble or trying to have somebody loose their job.  I think it might be time for a new change of scenery and even though people say the grass is not always greener on the other side. Well it cant get anymore yellower than it all ready is. I am not looking forward to going back tomorrow maybe I need to use up my vacation days and be off for a while maybe more than two weeks. The only thing that keeps me sane in that place sometimes is some of the friends that I have acquire while working there not many though as some people cannot stand me ha. Honest I do not  care though long hair don’t care.  Have a blessed Saturday.

Juicy day :)

Yes finally I had a decent day with my mom today. I woke up for school and got ready and wore my new juicy lime crime lipstick, which was the truth.  After class my mom and me decided to go to the mall and get some stuff we wanted to get. I decided to get one of my new favorite perfumes the one and only Honey by Marc Jacobs. We looked around the mall for some other things but I am trying to save money and not buy thousands of stuff when I go out. I finally took my mom to eat at Chipotles and it was juicy my mom loved it. Our last stop was at Ulta since I got a seventy-dollar gift card and you know it has been burning my hand to use. Sadly they did not have the main thing I went for and I decided to but anything else.  The weather was so since so I played my frozen cd and jammed all they way back to portage I think my mom was getting annoyed with my beautiful singing. I for got to mention today was my little brother’s birthday and I almost forgot. I took a nap afterwards and woke up with the most evil heartburn. Now I am watching P.S I love you and I just love that movie so much I think this is the fourth time I have watched this movie and it gets me every time. Bed soon and work in the morning kill me.

In gods hands.

Life can be unexpected full of surprises either good or bad. It can also throw some unexpected life changing events in your direction that leaves one questioning our fate and if there is a grater good looking out for us. If so, that being the case why would it allow so many bad things to happen at one point but I guess one can argue why would the devil let so many good things also happen at the same time. I guess at the end of the day there has to be some equality in the good and bad things that life throws at us and it is up to us to be able to handle it with the most mature response. Some people might not believe in god but I do and I also believe that god does not let anything happen if he does not think we are capable of handling the situation what ever it might be.  At the end of the day I just put my hands in the air and let god take over. I just pray that he keeps me, my family, friends, and loved one safe from all harm and that he watches over us. Instead of complaining about how hard life is and about the things we do not have we should we grateful that we got the chance to live another day. We are not guarantee the next day so as humans we need to appreciate what we have and be grateful for everything else.

best weekend ever.

 

I just had the best four days in a long time time or should I say extended weekend. I honestly just relaxed from friday to monday this week and enjoyed some free time while working on some homework. The weather was also awesome so yeah it was like god wanted me to have a good time. I did not have to work either and I got to go out to the bars with my best friend. We tried to go to three different bars but the third one was with where it was at. There was this really cool rave going on and they had some black lights on too so everything looked extra fly. I was wearing this really cool blouse that glowed in the dark this was the second time this happened in a weekend so I think I was meant to have a good time. When I finally got home I fell and hit my leg on this chair which left me a big bruise that has been hurting for a couple of days. Family wise the second storm has hit and harder than ever ugh just when I though things were going to get better boom it got worst. Things are changing in my house soon and I just hope it is for the best and god helps us get through this, Two more weeks of class an yes I made it this semester. Just going to wait to hear from the nursing program hopefully with good news.

Yesssss hunty yess,

Good morning everyone happy Monday even though everyone pretty much hates Mondays but today feels like a good one. I love cleaning my house with some loud music playing in the background; I swear I could clean the whole house everyday. I actually rather clean the whole house than have to do homework but that is just me. I am not going to lie I hate writing papers for school it is just one of those things that I really never got into doing. In my defense I hate because it takes me forever to write what I really want and make it sounds great. Now back into topic todays I decided to start cleaning the house instead of starting my disease report which is due tomorrow but the good thing is that it is only 3 pages long so no biggie.  Last night was a great night to watch television shows because I got to see three of my favorite shows in a row. First I saw Once upon a time at seven, after that it was Game of thrones, which was juicy, but the best one last night was Devious maids. I have been waiting for devious maids to start for so long it was one of my favorite shows last year and I am happy that it is back. From what I can tell this season is going to be so juicy and scandalous. My summer nights are starting to be spoken for by my favorite shows.

Last friday night lol.

I had such a wonderful time last night and the best part is that I was not expecting it at all. Me and my best friend decided to go out last night and have a girls night so we got all dolled up and went out to the bar but at first I had a feeling that it was not going to be fun. We went to two bars first and they were not popping at all so we decided to go to the franklin house in Valparaiso and it was juking in there. They were having some king of black light party and it was so packed that I could not walk without bumping into somebody. Least to say I had a blast I met some new people last night and had some juicy drinks while at it. There was a lot of sexy people and there and it got crazy so I was turned up. I decided to wear heels last night and by the end of the night my feet was getting it ha ha. After the bar some of the people that I met at the bar were having a party at their house so we went there and kept the party going till the morning it was such a crazy time. I got home and I knocked out till about two hours ago and now I got to get productive and do some stuff around the house and stores.  Well time to have good day.

update on everything.

I cannot wait for summer time to get here for good because I am tired of this winter. Do not get me wrong I love winter but this winter has been really long and does not want to let go. I went shopping the other day and got me all kinds of cute outfits for the summer time among with some shoes and makeup specially for the summer time.  I usually don’t like the summer too much because I get too hot and I hate sweating too much specially when I am looking extra cute and have my makeup done. I had gotten the Tria beauty for hair but I do not know if I like because the crystal in which it uses the laser seems to be really small. That being said I do not know how to get all the hairs at least not one hundred percent. On I side note I woke up so hungry this morning I can feel my stomach hurting I think I am going to make me s smoothie.  My life is so crazy right now things just got crazier at my house and it was out of thin air. I do not know how to deal with this current situation.  I just want to sing let it go ha ha. I am getting up and cleaning though because I really wan to help my mom out she has been really tired and I love her. I will talk to you all later have a good day.

Its one of them days.

I was really being a cranky lady this morning nobody could tell me nothing and all because I was staying up last night doing work and everyone knows I love my sleep. I mean I was not as cranky as I make it seem I was just very unhappy this morning when I had to get up for school I was so tired. It was so bad that not even my large vanilla iced coffee woke up even at this point I am still feeling some kind of tired. My hair is looking all kinds of frizzy mess but it could be worst I still looking decent ha ha. I am just looking forward to this weekend because I get to sleep in an just focus on my work among other house chores. My mom has been feeling a little down so I want to maybe do something this weekend to get her out of the house at least for a day I know it would help her feel better. I am also trying to eat less than I usually do and healthier and it sucks because I am so hungry right now I think I am just going to get me a soup and call it a day. I have to go to lab this afternoon and I am really not looking forward to it because I am so freaking tired and feel very irked. I need to take a nap as soon as I get home and relax but wake up in time to study.

Only 2-3 more weeks . yesss hunty

 

Well where should I start today? I guess ill start by saying that I wanna pull my hair out. With only having so many days left of school comes in the holly bundle of exams, homework, among many other scandalous school stuff. I am getting really stressed by all this work but I can only count down till this semester is over because I really want it to be one and over with. I decided to back back to school this year kind of as a last minute decision because I wanted to move on forward with my life and feel like I was going somewhere. Sadly for me many things have happened that I did not account for since is started school that have put a big stress on me all together including work, family, and of course bills. Going back to school has put on a big monetary burden on me since I have many bills that I can barely pay with working part time but thank god for school loans because they have really helped me get through it and have also come in handy for other stuff that I would have not been able to do or helped with if I had not gotten them, People always say it is bad to take out loans but when that is your only option what can a girl do? This weekend I am going to tackle down finishing my ten page issue papers because I just wanna get it out of mind.

Dallas buyers club was eye opening.

 

When it comes to watching movies I am a big fan just tell me it is movie time and I am on my way. I am a fan of all kind of movies, films etc but I really do love the kind of movies that move my soul and make me think about things. With that being said today I watched Dallas buyers club after hearing so many good things about it and it was more then I expected it to be. There are so many powerful messages in the film and I feel like they are positive messages not all negative and also it was based on a real story. I am not going to lie this movie made me cry like a baby and just made me feel so sad for all those people who had to go through that back in the 80's. Times sure have come along way since then and I am glad they have because the world had become a better place in some ways and bad in others. This movie also had so mad in some part I swear just because it is so hard to see that some people would act like that towards other human being and how ignorant and money driven the government was back then even though it still is many forms but what they did was evil. After watching this movie all I could think of was giving out a prayer for all those people who suffered through those harsh times and hope that they are resting peace. I know not everyone is a saint but these people deserved better and I know maybe there was not a lot that could have been done but I do not know as a human being I like to wish the best for everyone. Thank god things are better now concerning HIV and hopefully a cure can be found soon.

history of freestyle concert

 

Yes hunty I just had such great time with my boo Tasha at the History of Freestyle concert in chicago and let me just say it was the bomb. I had such a great time with her we were looking extra fly and sexy you know how we do. We got there at seven but did not know that the actual concert did not start till around nine thirty so we were just drinking and dancing to the dj. When the concert started it all went bananas the crown just went crazy and enjoyed the night.The drinks were so expensive tho we should of pre gamed a little before going on but we did not know the concert was not going to start yet. I give them hands down my respects for the performances they gave us and how well they did. What can I say I am a freestyle type of girl. It was so hot in there my hair was curled and came out looking a hot mess but my brush went in on my hair ha fun times in the bathroom. We actually left a little erlier than we though because we were so tired by midnight so we headed back to indiana and get some mcdonals which was the bomb, who does not love a midnight snack right?. I am home now since all my friends were asleep so I came home and got ready for bed I got many things to do tomorrow I swear too many to count. Goodnight

busy weeks its friday all ready ? :O

 

Wait! What day is it? Holly macaroni is it friday all ready but it feels like yesterday was just monday. This week really went by so fast I think it is due to the fact that it was such a crazy week and busy too. I have two exams to take home one of them is to make corrections and the other one is actually a take home exam both of them combined are two hundred questions. I also have me research paper to keep writing and a bibliography page to make. To that add anatomy lab and final coming up. I think I just died and came back. Not only that I also just remembered I have a micro paper to write and the final too wah I just wanna cry this next three weeks are going to be the death of me. Last night was killer all I remember is studying till very late in the morning for my exam I had today and I fell asleep my phones died and I woke up late for school today barely making it to my exam. Least to say I was having a heart attack in the morning because I though I was not going to make it in time for my exam which would of so sucked in million levels. I am home now doing homework trying not to fall asleep but I do have to work at six in the morning tomorrow boo me. Working weekends sucks so much I hate it.

My feet suck i need new ones.

I swear I need some new feet ha because I have been having foot problems since I was little but I never though the would get worse as I got older so life pretty much sucks because the foot inserts that I need to get by the foot doctor cost three hundred dollars and everyone knows I am a broke person that likes to spend a lot of money on a lot of other things that I really do not need so yeah I have no clue what to do. The inserts that they sell at walmart which happen to be cheaper are also a little pricey for me costing fifty dollars which I guess is a lot better than three hundred. I have been neglecting this for a whiles even though I know that it needs to be taken care of because my foot pain gets even worst as time goes by. I should of used some of my tax money to get the inserts but I also had to save one thousand dollars so that I can pay for my citizenship so I do not end up back to Mexico. I just cannot imagine living in Mexico for longer periods of time any more even though it is a lot more free than here in the U.S.A but there is too many things going on with the cartels. My foot [problems also cause me some back pain among other pains which really suck so hopefully I can get it fixed soon. Wish me luck.

heartburn and spicy food

 

One of the worst feeling ever in the world is? Well for people who get it they would agree with me that heartburn is one of the most painful and irritating feeling ever. I have been having heartburn since I was very young I cannot even remember the age when I first got it but I know I was super young. I think I get heartburn because I love eating spicy food one and foremost but also just because I love eating. I think I started eating jalapenos when I was in kindergarden and thats when I knew I loved spicy food but what can I say I am a spicy latina. I remember that I did not know what happened the next day after you eat spicy peppers and I paid the price for the first time in the bathroom I still look back and laugh because I was crying to my mom and saying what is going on help me ha ha. Now that I am older is till love my spicy food but I cannot eat some of the spiciest foods I used to eat for example habanero peppers I always used to love them and now I will run from them. Do not get me wrong though I still get down with extra spicy but not as much as I used to only occasional. My mom in the other hand she is a macho as she calls it because she can eat some spicy stuff that will make anybody else cry when I tell you she bites habanero peppers as a snack I am not lying my mom do not play no games.

So sad it ended.

 

I am so sad that one of my favorites shows in television has ended last night I swear it was one of the juiciest endings ever. The show that I am talking about is Being Human in the Syfy channel which ran for about four seasons which if you ask me were really short and could have been longer or at least added a couple of more seasons. The show revolved around a ghost, werewolf and a vampire that lived together and dealt with life and the problems that came with their conditions. My favorite characters was Sally the ghost of the story that I personally think that the most interesting character because she went through so many changes. First sally was a ghost then she came back to life and became a zombie, after that she died and became a ghost again but killed a witch and became a witch. The stories get even better when she gets stuck in the past and takes over her body so she does not die and stays alive but becomes a werewolf only to die again. I think they did such a wonderful job in creating sally's character and having all this exciting twist to the story. It also helps that the vampire and werewolf roommates were really handsome and some eye candy. Overall I am going to miss this show a lot but hopefully I will find another one to take its place. I really love Syfy shows and supernatural stuff.

I hate sickness

 

Today I have been watching Game of thrones since I have been too sick to get out of bed and it has been juicy. I had watched couple of episodes here and there but I do not know what I had been missing because watching all the first season was juicy. My favorite character is Danerys and Rob among many other small characters but I also hate a lot of them. I really hate Jeffrery and his mom and his uncle too while were at it not the short one tho I love him. Other than that I have been sick since wednesday and it really sucks I have never been so sick so often recently and I have no clue why. I need to go to the doctor soon but it be so expensive to go even with insurance. I also hurt my back yesterday and the pain is really intense so much that I cannot even move to avoid extra pain. Thankfully I have this weekend off so that gives me time to get better and also get some work done along the way. Things are still the same with the family issues which really sucks and one can just hope that it gets better. My room is also looking as a hot mess it needs to be clean as soon as possible which must likely will tomorrow. It is time for bed now so I can get some rest and feel better so to bed I go.

Sad but true.

 

I swear one of the worst things that can happen is working at a job that you dread going to or just pretty much dislike to say the least. I really hate that I am in that current position hunties it is unfortunate that I am in that predicament because I use to love my job so much. The sad part is that I am not the only one that feel that certain way and I wish it was since it is mostly the whole staff that feels that certain way about the morale and appreciation that staff receive which is very poor. Another thing that sucks is working in an hostile work place in which you are always afraid of relation if something is said since I though work places were suppose to be retaliation free. There are many things that can be done to keep staff happy and have a morale up but some people just do not get it because of their own prejudice and inability to bend their arm half way. I might be young but I can think of so many ways to run a better business while keeping profit and making the company grown. That is all I have to say about that topic but I am at least glad that it is almost the weekend and I get to sleep in and not have to worry about many things but homework. In class now waiting to go home at eight and go to school in the morning. Have a great night.

It only gets harder.

 

I know it seems like I just keep saying how crazy, and scandalous my life has been for the past couple of weeks or more like months but I swear it has become a never ending story. I just keep praying to make it thru this semester of school since all this stuff has me pretty shook up and barely able to keep up with everything but I am managing. I am putting an end to this soon because something has to give I do not think that we can live as a family under this circumstances and have me worrying all the time. I am thinking of a plan that I can put into gear because if I get into the nursing program I am not going to be able to handle all this family drama and stuff and keep up with all of that. Today I was not able to make it to my first two classes for some of these circumstances and I do not like missing my classes and feeling so bad about it. Today I was also feeling some kind of way about everything, even just a bird passing by made me feel sad. I was really emotional today but at the end of the day I am the only one that can fix that in me and I intent to as soon as school is over because I wanna focus most of me energy into that for this next couple of weeks.Keep me in your prayers hunties.

I wanna travel.

 

I really need a vacation some time soon before I go crazy or depressed. I mean not really depressed I just really have been having the urge to go out of state or even better out of the country for a trip. I love traveling so much and would really love to have a chance to get to see a lot more places during my life time. If I could just travel the world and not worry about anything else I would do it in a heart beet no second thoughts about it. It really sucks that it is so expensive to travel anywhere now a days at least for we poor people. I am a big nature lover so I really want to visit places that have many natural aspects to offer. I know there are many places here in the United states to visit so I am going to try and achieve that before I start going overseas. One of the best feeling is traveling with your close friends with the window down listening to music and singing out loud like nobody is watching. Honestly even having a road trip with my friends would make me happy at this moment just like last time we all had a road trip to missouri. It was a really great experience that I want to experience again in the near future with some of my closest friends. I had a dream last night that I was visiting my house in Mexico and I really would like to visit my birth place too before the next decade but it just a hassle with all the stuff going on in Mexico. Well hopefully my dream comes true soon.
