Hi, y'all 👋🤠!
The past two weeks my writing has been directed to bringing encouragement and good vibes to friends and family 💜.
My energy level 🎚️ has been low, between the ⭐ Stars, weather ☁️ and dealing with stress.

Not a pretty picture watching my sister understand what I've been dealing with for 40 years. The old people's reality of aches and beyond. She's not used to having to take medicine and I have to help her manage them!
Tell her what they are ( and what for) I'm happy to help of course but that's where I've been putting my energy pretty much 😻.

Not to mention my crazy cat Maxy! Almost every night she goes into her room and tries to bat at the lampshade on her nightstand, it almost gets knocked over. I get her and play with the kitty stick ( it has a cloth fish 🐠 🐟 with a bell) I wave it around and she tries to get it.
Tonight she grabbed the fish and ran off with the whole thing!
Maxy brought it back to me ( like her kitty ball- she likes to play fetch and thinks she's a dog!

I lock her in my room and when she gets bored of playing she Meows very loud until I let her out. Then she goes back to the lampshade again unless Sis has her light off.
Sometimes MoJo and Maxy growl at someone walking by or the cars are making too much noise. The bass is usually up way too high and it's Loud.

I gave them some catnip downstairs and a few kitty's treats so let's pray 🙏 they settle down for the night 🌉!

I did make some changes to help me get back to my writing and hopefully get my 🥳 party started again!
I took the last mini notebook 📓 ( they have 3 packs at the dollar store) I wrote on it this morning WDC weekly goals and the date 🌹 📅!
Every week since last fall ( except when was sick) I posted my goals ( on Monday)and tried to get some done by Friday.
Some weeks I succeeded, but otherwise spaced it out and it was when I looked at a previous goal,blog post or in my other book I'd be reminded of how many I made.

A good therapist I saw for 7 years told me she thought I might have some ADHD on top of my chronic depression, and PTSD. Oye what a mess!
I've learned how to do self-help and with no resources out here, what else is a lady to do?! 🤔

Figure it out the best I can!

So I made more folders today 😁 and put more in them ( like Poems and haiku)
Old blogs went in another! ( This one will be the next one to join them!)
I have a gripe load of editing.
One plan was to edit my class lessons from the characters emotions. I was hoping it would help me write my very
complicated memoirs.
A few people know I had a very dysfunctional family and childhood. Most folks can't believe I lived through it and are so normal and nice!

The scars are there but learned how to heal and focus on helping others. I used to write so much in my journals and used it to see how far I've come.

Now if I can only get it written down in a readable format.
As I write this the weather man said make sure your phone is charged and floods are possible.
It's been raining hard most of the day and will be into the night.

Hopefully, we won't float away y'all 😜!
We have laundry 🧺 again to do and food shopping 🛒.

I hope everyone is doing good 👍 😊 and stays in touch!

Wow did you miss me? I sure missed y'all! Most of my writing was keeping in touch with friends and family 💜😁 here and there.

Good news my good friend MABs of 40+ years made it through the heart valve replacement 🐄🐮bless the cow. Another person is waiting for a triple bypass 🙏.

Last Sunday my sis and I started out on our trip to Pensacola Florida, but we didn't make it. It was too bright for her to see the hwy. She tried again ( we had gotten off the exit with me navigating and pulled into a gas station.)

I was a wreck trying to stay calm ( with no meds for my nerves in 2 years. Can you say true grit? Anyway she got back on the road and she was crestfallen in the reality that after driving 50 years ( in rain with no wipers and big log trucks zipping by. When she first started driving and picked up my 2 toddler daughters and me from an airport in Oregon.
Later she drove for the US Forrest service, fighting fire and planting trees.
Drive for Hertz rent a car and drove cross country a few times.

( As I'm writing this also adding to our list maple 🍁 syrup! She's making us French toast for
breakfast!)

So about our trip, she didn't want to risk our lives and we headed back home.

We stopped at the new TJ Max ( a big deal around here! Hardly any places to shop like that.)

As I come back to write here I'm upset over watching the News and the horror in Rafah...
Netanyahu his ego, indifference to suffering and self-righteous attitude. He has nerve to call us Americans ignorant on Dr Phil's show. Those students have are standing up for humanity. I wish some would realize that not all Jews support him .

I need to get grounded and clean out the kitties box. I saw some of the notes I took and shared in my last post. Oh that's right I was supposed to start on all that!
I will try and post again this weekend. Wish me luck 🤞 and hugs to the lady who had eye surgery 😁 you know who you are!
Be blessed y'all 🙏 🌹 😻🥁📚🌁🖊️📓
