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

| Hi y'all 👋🤠, longtime and newer friends. This is what I just wrote in my weekly goals update of Oct 17 and OT. Here I be, hanging in there with life and it's complications! So my goal was to make it through the week ( still here!) and research making a digital book. I was going to include my sister helping me go through the over 16,000 photos plus I have between Facebook and Google photos. Thinking 🤔 I could post them to the TV so she could see them better. As it turned out she didn't know how big they would show up or if she could see them at all... She can't even see the pictures we printed up of our grandkids, that are in frames on the wall... Before finding this out, I was researching the 2 ways to show on the Smart TV ( not smart enough apparently 😔) either Wi-Fi or with a HDMI cable. Wi-Fi needed chromecast attachment. Then I realized it wasn't going to help. She said to just do the Season book anyway. I was pretty bummed out that she couldn't be involved in this project. I will continue to work on going through the possible pictures and upload them in one place. She said " You should print them up anyway and put them in an album, like we talked about." I answered" what for? You can't see them and when we pass on, there's no one to leave them to." Our family has dissolved over the past year. It's just reality but we will live on in our grandsons Matt and Dom. And what writings I leave here on WDC and other places, that will be added to my portfolio 😁. I guess I'll add this to a blog post 🤠 📯. It is my writing and our truth after all! Have a blessed weekend 🌹 😊   🪻☯️🌜🪻🎃✍️🙏🎇😻😔💐🕯️🌺📸 So I haven't been a part much of the Halloween stuff and festivities going on. I'm hoping that will change! I've been trying not to be angry or upset but it's been hard dealing with it alone. This week finally she will see the low vision specialist and find out what the bottom line is. She has $190.00 for the exam. None is paid for by insurance. She worked hard all her life but is on Medicaid and Medicare and low vision glasses aren't covered. They could help her see better to drive and read. They will be between $400.00 and $4000.00. All I can do is make a GoFundMe and pray 🙏🌹 enough people will help to give her back some of her sight. It's hard when we have to drive and I need to keep her in the right lane, depending on the light and weather. We get medical rides, but can't afford to take Uber to get to the food or drug store for me. I have to go see the gastroenterologist people and find out more about what my last endoscopy showed. If I will wake up nauseous and some mornings throwing up for the rest of my life. Or will it get better? Most of the pain med I take has a lot of Tylenol in it. And that isn't good for my liver or stomach. It doesn't always help my pain either, so I'm thinking of getting a medical Marijuana card. It's a long process and will cost money, that I'm not sure I can afford. We have been trying to save to move but having sis see is most important. So this is the most I've written ( outside of my notebook 📓) in a long time. It's also a prayer 🙏 that I don't know if it will be answered. We are doing everything humanly possible to help ourselves. Hoping for some mercy 🍀 if possible 🤞. We've gotten a few lottery tickets and scratch-offs but haven't been too lucky lately. This used to be the lucky time of the year for us. Hoping things get better. Bless y'all for prayers and good energy. Prayers for y'all ❤️ with whatever situation you're in or dealing with. These are very challenging times with no end to the price of food and everything going up, but not income. We get a raise in our check and the rent goes up. Thankfully we have a roof over our head. Maybe in time a little house with a space for a garden and an adopted dog 🐕🌹🪻🌜😻. |
| Hi y'all 🤠👋! This was just written in weekly goals ( a day late). Monday lost my momentum and didn't have a plan for the week. By Thursday worke up with some ideas 💡. To figure out how to make a digital book called Seasons. Using pictures from my Facebook ( most only exists there) To write ✍️ poems about the Seasons and include pictures of the many decorations we put together over the years for the kids and ourselves. I have over 16 thousand pictures to go through! Also sis mentioned that if I died first, all my pictures would be lost. I'm going to find a way to show them on the TV, so she can see them! ( She cancelled her phone service of 13 years, because she can't see the phone or pictures on it.) We will go over the pictures and decide which one's we are going to print out. Later to get photo albums to keep them in. More on Monday.🙏🌹😻🌲 {image:4000 🌹🌜🌹🌜🌹🌜🌹🌜 I'm doing better yet still struggling with the spine pain. It takes a lot out of me! We are still waiting for an appointment to the low vision specialist. So much is riding on sis getting some of her sight back. It's like being in a prison and waiting for e pardon. We can't even make it to the groomers to get the kitties nails done. Praying things will get better with that soon. Thanks to Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose   for the awesome merit badge! 💖Breakfast at Tiffany's,oh yes! I ordered it and can't wait to add it to my WDC album! Hugs 🤗 to y'all 🤗❤️ |
Hi y'all 🤠 👋! I just finished my weekly goals and OT update! Of course I'll include it here and then continue ☺️! Lol *******"*""""* Made it here 😁. Had the endoscopy today, Hard morning but things look better in there 😜! Having it done in a hospital made a big difference 🙏 🌹! So I did start a story this week. Named it " Journey from Gautier". It just started to write ✍️ itself and that hasn't happened in a long time. Sis insisted I get some new clothes and to write instead of cleaning so much in the morning 🌄. Going to give it a try. Tomorrow my new cat eating ramen noodles will be here! I'm excited! She didn't understand the humor of it but I explained it and she's glad it's making me happy 😀! With so much turmoil in the world 🌎 at least I can bring some joy. Praying for a rebirth 🐦🔥 in myself and for others. Going to share this in my blog. Have a blessed weekend 😊! ****""""***** And so I thought about Blogging Bliss newsletter and always glad to be part of it. It's been a few years since I first started to proofread it. I enjoy reading people's blogs and try to comment and touch base when possible. I also thought about writing a post and asking for support this week. I was pretty nervous about getting another endoscopy. The DR was cool and I told him " You have quite a lot of accomplishments and thanks so much for your service" ( he was in the Marines) He said " Thanks I was proud to serve our country" He asked if I had any more health problems arise since my last appointment. No I replied, before they put me to sleep! The Nurses were so awesome and helpful. One handed me 2 heated blankets and offers one to my sister Cheryl,who smiles and thanked her. The Asian Nurse later had a great conversation about Mahjong with us as she was getting me set up for an EKG. She had been talking about Mahjong 🀄 with another patient next door. I mentioned liking it too! Now they only make the tiles out of plastic, but the older ones were made of bone. I said " years ago we were in San Francisco and saw this beautiful Mahjong set in the window. I really wanted us to get it! Cheryl added " It was nice but was $125.00 and expensive back then!" I sighed " yeah it was!" The Nurse smiled and said. " they still are, I ordered one from Amazon it was a cheaper one for $80.00. I tried to win one and it was $500.00 and made out of plastic! Still it was lovely. I had to move my Mahjong app off the front of my phone 📱! I was playing it too much! I laughed and said " oh I get it, I like playing it too. My favorite is Farmville. A different version but playing it since the first game came out! (Even though I was in a bunch of pain because I couldn't take my pain meds or anything but thyroid pill since last night, between Cheryl trying to get my mind off of it and some of the Nurses like the sweetie above, I was very thankful for the support ❤️🙏. It helped me through a tough time and kept my anxiety down.) I was too stressed this week to reach out to anyone else here or not. It's so much easier to give others support than asking for myself. Something we were working on in therapy a few years ago but didn't resolve! Anyway thankful to be in a better headspace and sending love and hugs 🤗 to y'all. Ps tomorrow deep cleaning 🧹 and getting ready to decorate for Halloween! 🎃 |
