| Hi y'all 🤠, yesterday a real miracle happened. Beyond the tension going on in this real life drama/comedy... Yesterday decided to take a chance and walk to the nearest supermarket and Walgreens 1.7 miles away from here. I used to walk so much ( I never learned to drive. I grew up in Brooklyn NY and left so didn't need to or realize I would because there were buses and subway in San Francisco too. Oregon had them or had access to family driving. I always loved seeing trees and nature 🍄🟫 up close. Taking pictures of it and myself! In 2021 was staying with a good friend in Tacoma WA. She drives but sometimes I just wanted to explore on my own. Looking at streams and flowers 🌹🪻☯️. Just enjoying it or singing or thinking about people or my writing. Prayers 🙏 too. I'd walk to the Walmart or Fred Myers, other times maybe up to the convenience store . Four years ago we moved out here to pretty rural Mississippi. And I thought about my walking adventures but we could drive and I was told " it wasn't necessary or I probably couldn't do it anymore". With the issues I was having with my health, it seemed my life was at an end sort of. Too old or whatever... Yesterday I took a chance. I brought no pain meds or any backup and just kept walking. Knowing someone in my life is having a hard time seeing... Knowing that there's no one to help, just like years past. Just reality. So you can either give up or survive and try! I took pictures on the way of things I wouldn't see, any other way. In the car I have to be focused on what lane we should be in, and what car's Etc are around. I made it and brought home a mini coke pack, Italian creamer. Found some Mardi gras beads on the ground, from the parade they had. One was a bunch of alien 👽 heads with it and remembered when we drove to Roswell NM, and stopped with our grandson the first time we came to MS. Brought them home for SIS those beads! Couldn't resist. We have beads from other parades a couple of years ago. I left about 9 AM and got back 11:30 Am. Don't know how long this will be possible but thankful to be able to. She thinks I live in a fantasy world with fake online people. I don't see it that way. Started to write a song today, just off the top of my head. Sang and can still hit some notes and keep tune. Motown, Beatles. Glad to hear music 🎵 ☮️ 🎶 again instead of being in the bottom of a black hole, It was foggy and later warm and sunny ☀️ 😎 yesterday. Today the wind 🌬️ is strong and the house needs the heat on! She watches a lot of Facebook reels and found out that if you take Natures Own Bread and wet it up, it won't fall apart. Instead if you hold it under water and squeeze it in half,it will fold and retain it's shape. Been sharing things like this with people out here and having conversations about how much food and other things have changed. How we have to watch ⌚ out for each other and share. Just trying to keep hope alive- y'all ☮️🌹☯️ Just finished Editing the Blogging Bliss newsletter for tomorrow. Check it out! It has an awesome article about Annette and there's so much more. Going to take a little rest. Sis is making Italian bread. Last week it was yummy Biscotti. Till next time Be safe be well Take care. |
Hi y'all sweetie s Below 👇 I wrote my weekly goals for the first time In over 2 weeks. I'm sitting in a half lotus 🪷 Trying to get some hello and ✍️ writing out to y'all! When so many people are becoming divided it's a blessing safe environment to be here. Kare Enga became friends on Facebook and it's nice to see the beautiful pictures of Temples and flowers 🌺 🌹 from Thailand. It's a blessing. I see Pwwheeler sharing prayers and cute pictures of Max and her kitties and flowers 🌺 🌹 🩷 there too. So the rest of this is the weekly goals oh I'm looking into online groups for people with Disc disease and chronic issues! I found on on the Mayo clinic site that looks helpful and a Catholic support group. Didn't see yet, in color Notes. Getting ready to write down Google maps reviews on fraud from eye doctor. Waiting and monitoring the situation. By tomorrow should know which way this will go... I've been doing them for years since Oregon and have tons of likes on them and my many pictures I've posted across the country! Man we've done and been a lot of places lol . Have a very blessed and Merry Meet day ! 🦉🎱🔮🪄🔎 🐝 Kind Ephesians:4:32. I'm thankful for here and y'all 🙏 😁. I've been feeling terrible while trying to get important things done around in my life. 3 weeks of laundry and appointments and the rest. The spine disc pain is off the chain ⛓️. Another appointment to hopefully get some relief? Very happy that 4 merit badgess I ordered came in the mail today 🌹❤️. I took pictures and want to share and thank the folks who sent em! Just writing this is a lot for me today. Don't want to lose my family connection here tho beautiful folks are there for me here, and email and emojis rock the house 🏠 ☯️ ☮️ 🪘 🎸. I've started dancing last week, ballet 🩰 and rock, swing 🎹🎶 🪽 It's hard to keep it up. I do some while doing dishes and stuff. My voice has changed and the high above C has left. Too many cigs and non use. Guitar hasn't been played since June. I keep hoping things will change and my energy won't be swollowed by this crappy pain. At least the beast has left and I still have my sense of humor most of the time. So just making it through the week is my goal... Will copy to blog and thanks for the awesome 😎 2 reviews on my current dear Me. I got Two Audrey Hepburn MB One Keep it up! One praying 🙏 for you. In time will have Ganasha, Prince,Ringo and more🎹🎶🪽😎☯️☮️ It's my own WDC Family album that is on my shelf and I walk by everyday. It reminds me of all the good souls I have been blessed to meet here. I haven't read the Memoirs for Dummies yet. It's on my desk and will still proofread the Blogging Bliss newsletter coming up soon.! I appreciate and enjoy being a part of important stuff going on here. Seven billion thanks to the user: Story Miss and Mass! Keep on rocking in the free world as Neil Young would say! Me |
| I didn't expect to be so behind in writing plans, trying to catch up on early important beyond daily cleaning but having us moving couch and rearranging up and downstairs furniture and wiping them off! Finding a good place and getting my writing desk and spiritual altar more convenient . I'm still dealing with super bad pain and trying to get stuff done in the middle of it. I missed doing my weekly goals last week and yesterday. Didn't want to go on about the crappy parts of my life! I miss y'all a lot and GOK ( God only knows, when I'll be back tomorrow or soon. 🙏 Praying the family does make it out here,but prepared for anything. We spent the moving savings to get her glasses that were supposed to work. Another rip off, Sadly I have more negative Google maps reviews to do then positive. I've been putting it on my back burner, I barely had time or positive mindset to read past index of writing memoirs for Dummies. I've been having to sit or sit in semi lotus 🪷 position or do standing on my toes in ballet 🩰 positions and trying to get semi comfortable. I sent an email to one of my health nurses. Going there next month. Got some headache/migraine help. Feeling like I'm in a writing limbo. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.... Gotta feed the kitties 😻 soon. Let the good times roll y'all Mardi gras And kids get the week off! We miss going to the parades down here. They throw stuffed 🧸 toys, colorful beads ( got lots from 3 and,2 years ago when we went last.! Oh Moon 🌝 pies, chocolate 🍫 is my favorite!) Been experimenting with getting better health, adding to my color Note, for weekly goals and other stuff. Sending good vibes ❤️ 💟 ☮️ 🦋 😉 D |

It's been a another nutty 🥜 week. The weather is going from Spring 🌱 to deep ☃️. It's really getting to my bones! I have been taking notes 🎶 and started an item for Dear me letter ✉️ It's due tomorrow and hopefully will make the deadline. Had little time to write ✍️ in between errands, cleaning and appointment. Will have better news next time and prayers for y'all too! To be good and warm. I just shared in Weekly goals update. I have a very rough draft of dear me. Today we were early for her eye injection appointment. 11:00 Am By noon still waiting with 4 people ahead so would have been there at least till 4 pm. Very taxing situation. I have so many Google maps reviews on hold. Very big disappointment with both glasses and lack of communication regarding " Ocular Clog" It's a real thing but some in the medical monopoly would rather not be healers, instead keep those bucks coming in... I have seen such B s by so called experts in their field but lie about results and aren't honest... We waited since Aug to get her somewhat better sight and they are no better than the eye glasses prescription she had 2 years ago. I miss miss miss y'all on top of everything. I tried last night to use my Chromebook and the new editor program from Storymaster. It's pretty awesome but won't work to change the font size. So I have one day to hand it in. It's 6 PM and I'm so tired but will have to finish it on my phone. Probably first thing after coffee tomorrow etc! I'm Central time so have a good chance. After that wanted to check out y'all's goodies. The Memoirs for Dummies came today but haven't opened it yet 😉. Came here instead now to nuke dinner! Amy's organic Broccoli and cheese in the freezer. Lord have mercy on us and keep us safe on this nutty 🥜 journey!🔯🕉️🎵☮️😔🤗😺📿🎹🙏🩰🔯🌹🌱🎵📚✍️🎶☃️🌱🌹 Will be back tomorrow sometime! On top of that, there's a classical music 🎵 piece running through my head past 2 days. I even downloaded an app for it to hear me hum or whistle the tune. It was clueless. Hopefully will come across it playing Ballet 🩰 music. Pain is 3 to a 12 , depending on the weather and whatever. Stay safe and warm 🙏 🌹 |
Well me and y'all here I be! 🐝 We haven't been able to do our laundry 🧺 because of freezing weather. Maybe tomorrow. Got sis her reading glasses and they are useless. And made by an expert (?) in low vision. I'm not impressed and will have to return to do my Google maps reviews... On the writing front, Thinking about the Dear me contest and if I can pull it together by Wed? It's due Friday and we have her injection in eye that day. Anyway pain is rough with these freezing temps even with heating thanks God. I started taking notes 🎶 on an old project, Dee Dee's 🐝 🦌 Playhouse. Kind of Captain Kangaroo 🦘 and Romper room shows from old school time. Finding out things like who has Silicone in the bottom of their sugar, when you pour hot water on a cup of great value sugar and put in a strainer... Maybe should add to my Twilight zone group instead. Truth is truly stranger than fiction anymore... So good luck 🤞 to all with your plans. Be safe and well/warm! Blessings y'all 🤠 ❤️ **** Ok that was my weekly goals thing! Thanks Bro 🎉 and peeps 😉 Will return asap! |
| Whew another nutty 🥜 week y'all and I see we all have our issues and glad we post here and support each others goals, good days 🙏 🌹 and cra ppy ones! I'm so thankful for being here and having this place to be ( or not to 🐝 😆) On my worst days over the past 22 years and just the last 2 years, coming here and being welcomed to share our hearts, lives, writing ups and downs. It's been consistent here,no matter what was going on in our personal life and whatever with writing. I could come and feel a part of this community. I started taking notes 🎶 ✌️ towards my memoir projects. Got certified today for the medical Marijuana card ♠️ ♦️ 😎. After looking at my condensed medical files from 2020 to the present, the Doctor was impressed with what I brought and said ( after seeing copy of my Spine X-ray from 2021 and part of the 14 Drs ,pain management clinics and most didn't help me though they got paid for nothing...) He said " After seeing your well saved records and understanding your health situation, if you didn't qualify for the card, no body would!"lol. Truth be told. That was today and will get my card Monday. God is good everyday. I made a video in front of my mirror ( that has been ignored and needs cleaning 🧹 🧼! It was the first time I felt like making one. I have to figure out how to share it here! May have to upload to my old YouTube channel. The pain was bad today and not great now but life goes on and I will have safe help soon. Oyx doesn't help and not good for my liver! So farewell pretty soon 😁. Hello kitty pipe can't wait to see you again sweetie 😘 I hope this is all Kosher since it's the truth. Considering what's going on in the world, it's pretty tame! Have a blessed weekend 🌹 🪻 ☯️ 🙏 🦋 y'all To be continued and shared in my New vision blog! (oops y'all dinner in ten minutes so hopefully u enjoy the show! Hugs 🤗 🌹 see ya soon 💜❤️😻 |
| Things were going well until I got kicked out of the site and what I wrote was lost. So I'm doing this in my color Note app just in case... Hi y'all 👋🤠 last night was not what I expected and the thing is that any relationship is a challenge. We all have our own personalities and perspectives ( wow this thing remembers some of what I had written, so all is not lost!) I haven't been in a romantic relationship in 30 years ( which is a long story but will be told at another time!) No we are 2 siblings and seniors trying to look out for each other and not " Choke" each other out most days lol 😆🤪. We have a long history and couldn't stand each other back in the 1970s when we first met! Over the past decades, we've lived together on and off and raised kids and the grandkids whew . This past week was busy and nuts. Monday we dropped off the Xmas presents that didn't work and sent em back to Amazon. ( She got her Levi's and nice Nordic Ware cookies sheet. Nice quality and bigger than the last one ( 17 bucks and I have Prime so no shipping! ) She got a better deck of Tarot cards (Rider-Waite the original one we both started with). I'm waiting for Memoirs for Dummies (!) and oh yeah! I forgot about the kitty 🐈 drama this week. So I'm looking down behind the living room glass and wicker table. I see something purple on the wall 🧱. I pick it up --- only to realize that it was one of the little plastic pieces of our Mardi gras wreath. It was a musical note and Mojo 😸 had been chewing on it... She has a thing for plastic. On the Bottled Spring water pack, she nibbles it. 3 months ago I was scooping the litter box ( I do it daily most days) I look down and see something red in one of the poops 💩. Later it turned out to be part of the Rameys brand Spring water 💦! I freaked out and was checking her nose to see if it was cold ( yes warm is bad , could mean a fever). So here I am looking at a partly purple piece of plastic and realized she had been sucking on it and that's what the wet sticky stuff had stuck it to the wall 🧱. And you think you have problems! So I started looking for a chew toy for cats that was safe. ( When we had dogs found out Rawhide chews are super bad for them...) So I found some Silvervine cat chews on Amazon of course! They are like catnip and pretty safe. We'll see how it goes. So Tuesday we cleaned. Wednesday I saw my Nurse practitioner and she was happy to see I gained a few pounds and was looking so much better! Thursday was a freakin trip y'all. Finally going to get her glasses for driving. The Uber driver came about 8 AM and then said she thought we were going to Pascagoula and that's where she works. No we were going to Ocean Springs the other way. She called her work and said she's going to be 15 minutes late. She brings us to the wrong place and so we have to walk across an uneven field. No problem for me because I have great balance from dancing. Big problem for her and even though I was close to her and offered my arm, boom she falls down ( as she said " like a turtle 🐢 on my back and you just stood there and left me.) OMG no that's not what happened! I tried to break her fall but couldn't and reached down to help her up! C " Hurry up and get my purse " It was on the ground and her knit hat with the Alien 👽 on it. I grabbed both in my left hand and tried to pick her up with my right arm and left! She started laughing hard and saying" You let me fall down! I can't get up, it's on the side with my bad hip oh I think I s*** myself" and laughing even more. I'm thinking omg we have to go into the office and she may smell like 💩 and she's laughing and it's making it harder to get her up. "It's Not funny"I say. A few minutes later we got to the Eye doctor and no she didn't poop! Just another story to be amusing oye. So later got home and she said since we need kitty litter we should go to Walmart. I looked panicked because we have been having to take Uber to get there. Long story short We pulled out and as I'm about to tell her if she's clear etc. She said " Let me ask you don't tell me!" She made it to Murphy's and hardly needed me to tell her what color the light was etc. We made it to Walmart and had a good time. The people who were supposed to help me with my medical Marijuana card, are taking their time and was at least supposed to call me this week and let them know if the 20-buck records from my doctor was enough. I looked into another clinic and made an appointment for this week and filled out all the paperwork and medical information. So time to feed the kitties 😻 ☯️. Later will drop by group and visit, I did check in this morning. I may share on Facebook! Thanks for being there on this journey. I'm thinking of writing under my old pen 🖊️ name Dara Page! I will catch up with you in email and reviews I've been saving! Thanks for listening 🎧😎🌹🦌❤️🎄 |
| Hi y'all 🤠 Wow last blog post was Dec 31, but have been leaving ya messages on my wall 🧱 here and always so glad to hear back even with an emoji! Well hopefully this coming month of February will bring good things again from me 😁. I really miss reviewing and traveling around here saying hi and being part of my group's of peeps 😉 The hardest part of dealing with this s***ty health is not being able to acknowledge y'all when you leave a comment or send an email or Merit Badges. Even leaving a 💜or something and it really warms my soul to wake up and look to see if anyone stopped by! It really makes my day and boosts my spirit's! Nothing makes me more happy then to bring the same joy and happiness to others. I have tons of paper and notebooks 📓 that are waiting for me to sit down and read and decide where it needs to go! An article or poems or whatever. Over the past 2 years since all this started (Feb 2024) It's been nutz truly I started off the year signed up in Dec for the show not telling about emotions class given here free! Started making friends with Amethyst Angel, and others ( sadly our friend passed away after and I remember him and his writing yet his name is in fog... But I know y'all that knew him will know. I came back at the very end of the class and so many wanted me to finish anyway and thankfully I did because of the love and support here. There's a old school Motown Song, that just popped into my head " Ain't nothing like the real thing baby, ain't nothing like the real thing!🎶✌️🎶" Yeah we have the real thing here because of a dream that Our Storymaster and Mistress had and made it come true here. If y'all can tag em for me. I suck for now with the whole HTML thing. I appreciate your help and support. On Jan 10th it was my 22 anniversary here and so many brought tears of joy to my eyes to want to celebrate 🎊 it with me! I remember years ago when Sally Field got an award and she said " Wow you like me, you really like me" and she had tears in realizing that she had a connection with others who got and enjoyed her art and work in acting. I can totally relate because that's a beautiful thing that connection with others who enjoy your music 🎶 or poems or however we share our hearts and souls with others. I've performed music and did comedy and other things like that and it's so cool 😎 when you connect with the folks who get you and appreciate who you are. It opens a door 🚪 for people to get to know each other on deeper levels. Like when we review for each other and see something unique in the writing or understand what they were trying to say... It's a sort of magic 🪄 ✨ Like when a song says something more than the words, it's the feeling, the connection. I had to run downstairs to help sis find her Pyrex glass pan,as she started to make dinner and I'm trying to get back home to my family and our land of words! So yesterday we had Uber bring us to the UPS store, down the block from my Dr. We were returning 2 of her gifts to Amazon! A magnifying table glass thing that didn't help her to read or do puzzles. It was made of plastic and had a tiny little window on it, for her to see 30 x. Also I found her a Grateful Dead tarot deck and mini book. It had awesome artwork but the meaning of the cards were changed and not in alignment with the real Tarot cards meanings. It was so hard to figure out even with the Tarot book and having done the cards since we were teenagers! It was sad but it was spaced out, made up meanings. So instead she got another pair of Levi's jeans and a new Nordic cookie sheet! Had to throw the old one out! It was used when we bought it and we used it for 3 years and got our money's worth!! She said I should get something too, like incense or whatever. There was 10 bucks left in the gift card balance. I have years of things that was put in my cart and saved for later! In fact I picked out a pair of the tree of life earrings and necklace, that I put in 6 or so years ago! I got it for my Xmas birthday gift! Today I got a book from about the same time. It's Writing memoirs for Dummies!! LoL I learned HTML back in early 2000 from it. So I'm looking forward to finally getting part of my life story started again, after so many false starts. And if course our perspectives change over the years. And now we aren't raising kids and they are safe and doing well in Oregon 🌹. So thanks for hanging in there with me and my krew! Cheryl gets her glasses on Thursday and hopefully will be driving a lot further soon 😁!!! All my love and hugs and thanks y'all.🙏🙏🙏😊😊🙏 I couldn't have done this all without y'all. Your love , prayers and humor and encouragement kept me from giving up and leaving here. Thanks from the bottom of my heart mind and spirit 📜 soul! May 2026 be safe and awesome for us all Amen indeed 👍 ☯️ 😎 🦋 😉 Speak soon 😁 🔜! |
