It's nice to know I matter 😊.This is my neighborhood !
I just reread my last post and appreciate the dear 2 who cared enough to comment!
It helps me to know, I'm not alone in life and having the same concerns.
How to resolve it is a question for another time here.

I had posted my humble weekly goals and then all hell broke loose.
I'm not kidding. In the Old days I would have been writing this on my Facebook page.
These days I don't do it as much and in today's case,sis would be pissed 😑 probably if I wrote it there. She'd say " why did you bother to write ✍️ it there? It's not like anyone cares or gives a s--t. It's no one's business.'

She never reads my blog and I'm not sure if I share it on Facebook, that she does either! She never said anything about " oh I read what you said" in it that is.

Around 3 PM today I spoke to some nice folks on 7 cups 🍡 and they were nice and friendly.
Pretty supportive in a short amount of time and the inspiration I needed to do my weekly goals here and thank my friends here.
Sis all of a sudden was super sick and had bad pain. At first she thought it was that she'd ate too many grapes πŸ‡.
Her favorite is back in season Muscadine black grapes.
Then she thought πŸ’­ it was food poisoning.
( She had it twice in her life and I was there to help her through it...)
Then I thought it was a stomach bug πŸͺ²πŸ›.
Then it got worse and I Googled all her symptoms and it could be serious...

I was going to take her in an Uber to the clinic near here, where we both go but she couldn't make it to stand long enough. And was stumbling to the bathroom and back.
I called 911 and the Paramedics came in less than 10 minutes. They checked her out and were asking which hospital she wanted to go to.
She didn't.
Her vitals were good and they told her if she changed her mind, to call back. I had given her a anti nausea pill,that melts on the tongue. I showed them my bottle and it was a good idea. They said take Tylenol for the pain and see how it goes.

After they left she was still dealing with everything except the pain. I had given her a Tylenol caplet.

It's been quiet for the past half hour and it's 6:13 pm. I should make something to eat for dinner. She made a big pot of Tomato πŸ… sauce πŸ«™. Usually we'd have spaghetti tonight and she freezes the rest for the month.

We stopped buying jars of sauce last year because they were getting so expensive. Five bucks a jar for the good ones.

I'm going to make tuna salad or a sandwich πŸ₯ͺ.
And if the sauce is cooled down,put the pot in the fridge for tonight and finish the dishes.

A big part of my morning is ( besides taking my meds and getting my pain level down!) is getting the kitties taken care of! They split a can of wet food and I change the water and crunches.
I clean the litter box every day and wash it out, once a week.
I sweep and vacuum. She mops the kitchen and hallway once a week.
Of course I do the dishes every night after dinner and TV!
And bathroom downstairs is mine and done once a week or something. Depends on how bad I feel.
I'm trying to figure out how to fit in writing.
This week I wrote a lot but it was in my πŸ““ notebook and on pad πŸ—’οΈ paper.


It really helps to have some weed but that's a problem here. Because I have to use pain meds, I can't get a medical Marijuana card.
She could but it's super expensive and have to go to doctor who is registered for it. Then the health department and God only knows how much to buy it from the dispensary.
We were at one last year and they weren't allowed to tell us how much or what it looks like.

In Oregon there's dispensaries everywhere! Even across the street from the jail! LoL

I can't believe what a big deal it is for a plant that helps so many. When there's horrible Fentanyl out there and the other nasty drugs.

It helps my stress and anxiety and a little with my pain and nausea.
Enough to let me write ✍️ and be creative πŸ˜€.

A good soul was supposed to help and we'll see if this miracle happens.


In our lives we have grown it outside and inside. Man do I miss those days though I used to get paranoid sometimes when smoking it. Damn, not these days!
I can't get anything from the doctor for my nerves anymore because I need the pain meds.


Oh well!

Wow I really wrote a lot this time!
Reminds me of my blog on Myspace back in 2007.

I hope this fall πŸ‚πŸ
I will ☺️ get this port together. Maybe I can still get that self-help book πŸ“– out. People have shown interest in my life and experiences in the 1970s etc.
I still haven't played my guitar again but should soon.
I'm playing with the idea of bringing back my show "As Is" I started making videos and shared them in my Facebook group and have ones on my long list YouTube account. Not lost just neglected!

I got freaked out making my last video a month ago. You could see how sick I was.

I'm looking better. My hair is halfway down my waist and I dyed it purple! Used it for my profile pic today.
Said I have good and bad days! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜„

So thanks for being here ❀️ and giving a damn!
Y'all Rock and I mean that!
Maybe we should have a group to talk 🦜 about white 🀍 cases.

We are the elders of WDC that's gotta mean something!
Worst case is I have 10 items for eternity.
Best case I have lots maybe even my life story in a book. Even if it " only" gets published here, that's pretty cool 😎. I do love it here and am grateful we can exist and expand our lives and writing here.

Bye for now πŸ‘‹πŸ€ πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯³πŸ€ͺπŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸŒ›πŸŒœπŸŒžπŸŒπŸŒšπŸŽƒπŸ˜ΌπŸ˜ΉπŸ™ˆπŸ™‰πŸ™ŠπŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ©΅πŸ§‘β€οΈπŸ©·πŸ’ŒπŸ––βœŒοΈ
