Welcome Y'all đ¤ . I'm into animal rescue and rights. Positive vibes and activism! đģđ It's been interesting for the past 20 years. Good folks on here and a great đ writing community. It's time for rethinking my writing and growing as a person . Sharing how to help others and ourselves đ has always been my motivation! Hugs đ¤ to new and old peeps!

Wow today makes 21 days of no " beast" in the morning! Am thankful to be waking up feeling better each day đ. I did get a lot of stuff done in my room, moving my shelf I got from Amazon last Christmas by my closet. I moved a wooden one bought at a thrift store the first year we moved back, to the wall by my bed and put some books on it. The one's I've been meaning to read like "Waging heavy peace âī¸" by Neil Young and " On writing" by Steven King ( which I've read several times since it came out!) and some Spiritual Jewish and Catholic books đ đē đĻ đ đ đ! I didn't get much writing done yet but organizing my journals and mini notebooks to date them and find old writing projects that never got very far. I also have to respond to comments on my blog and a review of My Twilight Zone fan group. I have tons of links saved for sharing again. It really feels like a miracle that I'm well enough to be doing rather than just thinking đ đ¤ of doing. Thankful for my grandkids and 3 reached out to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving đĻ Spoke to 2 today and texted with one yesterday. Sis and I ordered some Xmas stuff and will be wrapping them up đ! Will share this with my peeps here đ Have a blessed weekend đš đĒģ â¯ī¸ đ y'all đ đ đ¸ đĩ Grateful! ( I wrote the above for my weekly goals update! The only thing I missed doing was enter the WDC contest for writing about what inspired us from a song that was shared from YouTube! It was about being thankful đ and I'm going to probably do a post here anyway and include the song I was very touched đĨ˛ by it and subscribed to the group playing it. Sorry I missed y'all this week but you understand! Hugs đ¤ to y'all and speak soon đ! đŊ Blessings đ đ ( Was heartbreaking to learn about the 2 National Guards shot this week, praying that he the 24-year-old soul will make it.) đđđđđđđ   |
| Whew folks thanks ever so much for the meaningful virtual hugs đ¤đš and stuff yesterday especially! Today the test was hard but turned out groovy đ! My stomach is normal and looks like I'm going to be ok y'all! Since everything checked out it seems the only culprit was the medicines I was on for it... I won't go into detail but couldn't have anything to eat and drink. And had to call and make sure I could take my medicine like thyroid and such. It was ok but wanted to be sure đ! I thought I'd have four hours to hang out and write âī¸ but had to stay in the machine for couple of hours, looking at the ceiling, watching Myth Busters! I was let out near noon and had to be back at noon. Had a quick smoke and it turned out I was 90 % đ done and left soon after. I forgot they gave me some nasty oatmeal plain and a slice of bread. I couldn't eat much of it ugh! So I'm hoping to maybe make weekly goals again and settle down here đđ again đđ! For those who don't know Cheryl is my stepsister but love is thicker than blood! I'm getting her the drum and we are getting some Xmas goodies from Amazon! It's too hard right now to do secret shopping so we picked out some stuff and I'll let you know what! She was very stressed out about my health and just wanted me to be ok. It didn't seem like the medical profession was being too helpful. Not all are but some have been working with me to be ok in the morning and beyond. So I got a nice C Note đĩ from My Editor Word Smitty with good wishes for the test and thanks for the proofing help on the Blogging Bliss newsletter! Some GPS to help me on my quest to get my Merit Badges into my WDC album! I'm waiting on Audrey Hepburn from Princess Megan đš! Thanks y'all đđđâī¸âŽī¸đđđĻđ¸đĻ and Happy thankful thanksgiving đđđ Have a blessed night and thanks for all your prayers đ!dd |
| Well, y'all hi! đē It's been 14 days since I haven't sounded like a wild jungle beast! My record was about 2-3 days so big deal it is! I have the four-hour test on Monday to see if I have the " Rare" Gastroparesis or not. I don't want to have it because the menu sucks! It says to have cauliflower in a blender and other gross stuff! I've been eating pretty normal, watching my sugar intake and that's no easy task! I'm starting to get my energy back, and not totally depending on sugar and caffeine đ. It's taken a lot of determination on my part and not wanting to wake up like " death warmed over either!" Over the past year I have wondered if I was going to croak soon. There's days I had a struggle to keep going but I got up and had coffee and fed the kitties đģ. Maxy would come over and understand I didn't feel good. I still would pet her and brush her anyway. Mojo also looks out for me đ! Tonight I should be eating dinner but we had a stupid argument over Nursing not being a profession. I know some Nurses are good and some don't always have a clue. I wanted to be a pediatric oncologist in the 1990s. It didn't turn out that way but did make CNA. I did my best to take care of people and now find myself in the same age range as the folks I took care of. I don't look like them or inside feel other than just me đ! I don't look down on other people but some do judge me. For the most part I've done my best in this life for my family and others. Many have walked away because I didn't become famous for music or comedy or writing. That's ok because I'd rather have folks that accept me for me and not some illusion! We put a bunch of Xmas stuff on Amazon and it's just waiting for $ to come in. I'm going to give SIS an African drum that is like one she got 30 years ago. My daughter and I went to this store in Athens GA and picked it out for her birthday. Five years ago it was ruined by a tree that fell on the house in a bad storm. I wrote the folks on eBay to see if I had a chance to get it for her and they lowered the price bless em! I picked out a Beatles Sgt. Pepper shirt in blue to replace others I had. So for the most part things are going good except for being called stupid for thinking Nursing is a profession. She gets an attitude when she has beer sometimes and calls me naive. That's life people don't get along sometimes. So I'm hoping to get back to the weekly goals again and emailing here and being more in touch! I can't believe I'm gonna be 71 on Xmas đ whoa! Could be worse I at least am above ground!!! I may even update my dear me 2025! It's a thought đ! So sending thanks and hugs y'all crazy writing people đ! Glad we are in each other's lives â¤ī¸đ Ps I was going to post but she had to come in to say " I'm not stupid for being mistaken about Nursing not being a profession but just a job" it's just a conversation not being in the real world. I am thinking of moving away I'm tired of arguing. And being put down. I can't bring cat on bus but will have to figure out something. I'll do my best to stay in touch here. I'm sorry this turned out this way. I was in my room writing this all. And she had to start it again saying " The only reason I'm mad is because I never became a nurse". I said that's not true, it's not even a profession right?" I wish my life was simple and not completely complicated . Was looking forward to the holidays and not sure how to think or feel about anything. Have a blessed Thanksgiving y'all.  |
| Today is Wednesday and this week has been a big deal and blessings đđđš! There's an old song that in part goes, What a difference a day makes. 24 little hours or so. This week I've been better for 7 days in a row! No " Wilderbeast" noise and sickness first moments of waking up. I have changed my intake of sugar and caffeine and am almost totally okay đ! Last week my sister saw a reel on Facebook that had an old Chinese herbalist named Moon đ who spoke about how sugar can cause the body to overwork itself and feel like it needs more for energy. One thing was the fact that I was getting up to pee at 2 or 3 AM. And he mentioned that if one did, it meant the body was working harder to expel the sugar. After cutting out a lot of sugar and being aware of that reality. I started sleeping through the night đĨą! I've been doing this for a week and there's a big difference in how I feel. And have gained weight that I needed. I'm 110 not 107! I'm thankful for my sister trying to help me get better. And my friends whom are a lot here on WDC! I'm looking forward to being " back from the đĒž dead" that's really how it felt. Looking forward to write âī¸ about other things besides my health issues!! I have learned a lot too in my travels. And maybe will write about it in an item. Glad we have World News Tonight with David Muir now. I got us Disney plus this week! Thanks for being there đ Hugs đ¤ |
| Well hi y'all đ¤ đ, after I shared my last post thought the cricket đĻ was chirping! That quiet đđ¤Ģ! LoL anyway I was praying đ about it. Maybe I shouldn't be so honest but it was the truth. Thankfully 2 folks have donated to the GoFundMe and more will be they said. I just wanted my sister to be able to drive more safe and have some more of her lost sight. The next day sis said " Wow that's a pretty depressing blog post!" I said" Yeah I know but it's all true. Either people care or don't here on Facebook or WDC. Maybe some will help or pray or share. People don't seem to care much these days or if they do, aren't able to do more than let you know. So it's in God's hands. I did my best đ and that's all I can do!" Later I prayed Lord " I want to have good things to write âī¸ about. We used to go places and do things with the kids but it's different now. It's just us out here. So if something good happens I'll write about it or maybe just wait and see if anything does." Over the past 2 weeks I won $35.00 on a couple of scratch tickets! People I reached out to surprised us by donating and wanted her to be able to see better again too! My health is still up and down and won't know more details until after test in November and seeing the folks in Dec. I know I'm not going to be eating cauliflower that's been put through a blender or other things on the menu for Gastroparesis. They don't know if I even have it. I stopped eating granola that's enough!!! So other people are getting in touch and it's nice đ to have them listen. Today I was so happy to hear from our friend Mike. I have been praying đ as others here have been for him to be alright and be able to return. So there's been some miracles and it helps to know that our faith matters. Our prayers are heard even if it takes time to get an answer. I stopped making weekly goals but hopefully will be at it again soon. I was asked to do a review for someone's story and decided to do it. After doing the dinner dishes I play with the kitties đģ and it's nice to spend time with them. I blow catnip bubbles for them and they jump or Maxy tries to bat at it! We love the big ones and then we play with their other toys. Cat charmer and dancer! I hope to share some of the pictures soon here! I hope everyone is doing well and it was nice to welcome back Ichabod Crane with all of you!!!!! đ¤đâēī¸đēđ Time to feed kitties! And fall đ đ finally came! Packing away the shorts đŠŗ brrrr! |
