Hi tj gives thanks for all things hope I got it right LoL! Thanks for the truthful message and input ( even if I'm late in answering!) I for sure appreciate y'all stopping by and sharing. Its not easy for us dealing with food issues but there's strength in numbers and being there for each other here!!!
Lazy Writer est 4/24/2008 Hi and thanks for your sharing this here. It's taken me a bit to get back to everyone like you, but it meant a lot to read what you said!
I'm finally at a place where I can touch base a bit 😁😉!

Sugar and simple starches are evil. My blood pressure was bordering on high for years, even after cutting out salt. I would wake up mornings stiff and hurting, especially where I had injured myself over the years. Even my vision would change from day to day for no apparent reason.
A couple of years ago, I got tired of being obese and decided to try the Keto diet, which all but eliminates carbs, so no sugar, no simple carbs, and limited healthy carbs. In days, my blood pressure was down within normal parameters, my heart rate lowered, I didn't hurt in the mornings, and my eyesight straightened out. I felt terrific!
After losing just over fifty pounds through the winter, I stopped my Keto diet, knowing it would be difficult to stay with it through the summer, but I still avoided most simple carbs except for rare occasions like birthdays and holidays; I'll enjoy a bit of the goodies in moderation.
Best of luck and please, keep us posted on your progress.
You're absolutely right: it is all in God's hands, you can only do what you can do, and prayer is definitely part of that. Congrats on the scratcher wins!
Thanks Petra 🌹 I appreciate your kindness and it means a lot to have good folks like you who have a good heart ❤️.
I really need to remember how to tag!
This week has been difficult due to many matters, especially with the memories of 9/11 sad memories. The blogger also plans to write an article sharing her experience on that day. She mentioned the tragic news of Charles Kirk's murder, focusing on the rising gun violence and poor choices by young people. She felt a connection to positive messages through a spiritual newsletter and has started giving reviews for inspiring everyone. The author also showed us her photo album, which encouraged sharing personal experiences.
Well, y'all hi! 😺
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 😉. 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 😻. 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 😀!
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 😉! 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 🎄 whoa! Could be worse I at least am above ground!!!
I may even update my dear me 2025!
It's a thought 💭!
So sending thanks and hugs y'all crazy writing people 😘! Glad we are in each other's lives ❤️😌
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.
