This is a test. |

| Today has been a blessing. I prayed for a quick in and out at the doc’s office. When we got there at about 12 P.M. only two people were there! We got right into the PA’s office in like five minutes. She was a black lady with some sort of accent. She was very nice and quickly wrote up all my prescriptions. I told how I use scripture and the power of prayer to combat my anxiety. She said that faith is the best helper even more than regular cognitive therapy. I wanted to witness to her but it was not the right setting or time. An old lady at Most Excellent Way mentioned taking valerian root. I asked the PA if valerian root would help. She said that it could also increase anxiety. So I’m staying away from that. I’ve made it my mission to witness to my cousin who is now in jail. I want to ask my mom if she could take me to visit him- God willing it will happen. I just did two short reviews – on a poem, the other very brief story about a fat cat. It was charming but a little boring. The poem was excellent! I gave it four-and-a-half stars. It was titled “Away.” It was a couplet poem –my poem of choice. lol. I really want to seek God. I just posted another verse on my bathroom wall. It is 1 Peter: 6-7 Wherein you greatly rejoice though for a season.” That is wat I have down so far and I posted it today. I just need to give chapter headings for my last five chapters. And also I must number my pages and space the pages correctly. Jim did not go to his first job this morning at Caesar’s Palace. Rather he went to Alberton’s at about 10:30 A.M. I’d say. So In Most Excellent Way, we’ve been praying for a job for me. I want to work at the CVS next door but I have to go online. I called In ‘N Out and they said to go to the website to apply too. The Walgreens next door are not hiring. I was told so. Lord please give me a job at CVS pharmacy. Chad called me on the way to his job. He was saying how three people quite on the spot. Apparently, they did not show up for work. He also told me about his new lightsaber replica he is supposed to be getting in the mail. He started at 2 P.M. and he gets off at 11 P.M. So I texted Dan at 7 A.M. I said “do you know da way?” He did not get back to me. lol. I’ll see him tomorrow at church. Jim has the door open to cool the house down. Bugs are getting I’m sure. My mom and I went to Smith’s to get lunch meat and cheese. We got other things too. A Filipino girl at the deli reminded me of Ann. lol. Well that is it for now. Good bye. |
| Ah, I love doing my blog/journal. It’s so releasing. Unfortunately, I did not get my blood drawn this morning. It was about 12 P.M. and I roused my mom and asked her about doing my blood. She said she was supposed to do her blood too but she was supposed to fast and she accidently ate something. So we’ll both be doing our blood early morning on Monday. Today is Friday. Finally, my brethren, whatever in true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever pure, whatever is praise worthy, whatever is of good report, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 I think I got everything. But I might have missed one. It should have read: Finally, my brethren, whatever in true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things. This is my verse for this coming week. I stuck a paper on my bathroom wall with the verse. lol. Well, Chad is on the phone – don’t want to be rude. Bye, bye. |
| Today was dentist day. I have eleven cavities on my left and right side of my jaw teeth. The doc said they will work on one side first and then the other. And now they tell me I have to use the hydro floss and regular floss now. I go back in two weeks. Well, Chad is on the phone. So I will bid thee ado. |
| Ah, it’s good to be back doing my journal. It’s been a few days. lol. My mom and I were supposed to go early to get my blood drawn but that was a bust. I have a dental cleaning tomorrow and so does my mom. I’m hoping and praying for no cavities. I still need to have a decaying molar that needs extracting – not looking forward to that. Uhg. But the dental people suggested removing that molar and my two remaining ones too. I finally fixed my page break issue with Word 2010. It was as easy as clicking and then unclicking an option. And after that I managed to stumble on to making a title page. I’m not sure what I did but it’s done. Now I need to do three things: Put a chapter header on the first page of each chapter, find out how to automatically indent lines and paragraphs, and number my pages. First, I’ll put the header on each chapter and then get rid of the page break. Oh, and I have to put all text into single space, and put 6 point spaces between lines and paragraphs. I added more to my Short Shots entry. I need to finish it so I can edit it. The new leader of the FSFS group seems pretty cool. He is requesting for helpers to volunteer to take positions of responsibility. He also said he will be issuing a newsletter every other week. Like before , anyone can submit articles that are constructive and helpful. I am quite exited! I can’t wait to submit my 13th Thrice Prompted story. Tonight is church. After service, we’ll be going to Raising Cane’s. I’m still on my diet so I must not indulge on delicious fries, toast and chicken tenders. I’ll just fellowship. I bee live Jim has one more day off from work at Caesar’s palace. I hope God helps him make a smooth transition back to work. He’s watching sports right now. Earlier on, he was looking for proper work pants on his IPhone. He finally found some. (= My sister, Sarah, texted me today. She was in Kansas and then Fort Worth TX. It was raining like crazy. She gave me a pic. Then she shot me a pic of a beautiful, cathedral-like casino in Oklahoma. It was so big she could not get a full shot of it. In the middle of our texting, my ring tone was not working. I had to turn it off then back on. That did the trick. My bro and my sister in law will not be coming in November. It has something to do with when they bought their tickets for. Instead they’ll visit early next year. I also heard my sister in law is sick and so is their baby. As for visiting us, that will happen when it suits them. Chad keeps telling me all these weird shenanigans that go on at work. He works today. I think he works from 4 P.M. to 11 P.M. He hasn’t called yet so he probably will hit me up tomorrow. Well, that’s it for me. Goodbye. |
| This will be very brief, as it is half past 6 P.M. I stop at 7 P.M. I just wrote for over an hour. I haven’t done that much in a while. lol. I’ still waiting for Laura Leaders to call me back. If she don’t get can to me in five days, I’ll leave an another message for her on YouTube. Jim grilled steak and my mom seasoned them. He also grilled medallion potatoes. It was good. Well, I had to do the dishes so I have to say goodbye. It’s past 7 P.M. Goodnight. |
| Well, Mrs. Leader sent me the editing video for chapter one of my novel. But, there are two issues: She used a more recent version of Word. Secondly, Mrs. Leader thinks I want my header to be more than my first page. I only want my chapter title and number to be on the first page only. She let a number to contact her. I left message for her already. I’ve got to stay near my phone. lol. I got up at 11:30 A.M.-much later than I would have wanted. I looked at Mrs. Leader’s video. I may be able to figure it out. At the end of my video she said she wants to read my book and that it looks pretty good. (= I kind of bounced right when Dan got here. I was actually in his seat in his car when I chose to bail. I texted him I was sorry. Dan said it was all good. I finished Threshold last evening. It was a good book. Next I will read the last segment of the trilogy – Fire of Heaven. It’s thicker in size than its two predecessors. When I complete the series I will read The Oath by Frank Peretti My mom read it way back and spoiled it for me. Nevertheless, I’m sure there is much to be enjoyed still. lol. I think Jim is getting the truck serviced at the dealership. Needless to say, he does not work today. The floors are a mess. I’ll clean them when I know I have some time when he is gone. He may walk in the door at any time. My mom is watching Dr. Who. She loves sci-fi. She watches them over and over. I feel kind of out of it. My sister is texting me now. She is enjoying a sunset in N. Dakota. She drives truck. Sarah, my sister, is hauling booze. Next she’ll be hauling candy. (= Chad called me on his walk to work. He is working from 3 P.M. to 8 P.M. At least he’s getting hours. Walgreens was stiffing him on hours. He still spends his money on statues and stuff rather than healthcare. Chad is in very ill health. Offer thanks giving to God and pay your vows to the Most High. And call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you and you will glorify Me. Psalm 50:14-15. I went to Walgreens to get my meds. They were selling Cadbury eggs. The thing is each one is very small and is 79 cents. I just got one. It was so delicious. I got to get this formatting thing down. I’m still confused. lol. Jim took the truck to Costco. He was on the phone with my mom about which batteries to buy. I don’t know if he’s getting anything else. He went to Costco a few days ago. Well, that is it for now, Goodbye. |
| So far the day has been good. Unfortunately, I did not get up to go to the gym. Nevertheless, I did get out of the house to go to the store with my mom. She had to get a flu shot and I needed creamer. I’m still weeing myself of the unhealthy creamer to the healthy stuff. It’s a lot bitterer but I’m getting used to it. lol. My mom got four ground Starbucks bags of coffee. They’re small but they were on sale. Usually their brand is expansive. I mixed the mocha with the vanilla. It was good. Jim is at work until 6:30 P.M. Tonight is church for me. I took a shower. I still don’t need to shave. I have a nice thin beard with a goatee. I may hit the PS4 for a short while. I played for 36 minutes yesterday. I’m texting my sister Sarah now while I write. She stopped. She’s encountering some nasty weather. She is hauling alcohol to N. Dakota. She didn’t know we put down Lance. He was 105 years old in dog years. I am still mourning his passing. It is lovely right outside now. It’s overcast too. I love that kind of weather. I like the rain. October means Halloween is coming-not my cup of at all. I’m happy the church has the Harvest Festival. I may volunteer this year. The church relies on candy donations to give to the kids. But, like the costumes, nothing scary can be on the bags. I skim off the top when I serve in one of the games. lol. I texted Jared briefly in the evening. I was watching stuff with my mom too. I have an appointment with the dentist in a week. Uhg. I fear I may have cavities. W0ho knows though. I noticed some tooth pain along my upper and lower right jaw. That was a few weeks ago. Now I have no pain. I was starting to get sick and my mom thought that could have caused my tooth pain. She may have been right- in which case I am most grateful. Ricky has still not said where we’ll be going to after church to eat. I won’t be eating. I’ll just fellowship. I’m still on my diet. My mom said I’m losing weight. I think I see it too. Chad may call me soon. He’s kind of at odds with the people at work a bit. He always talks about how they treat him. Now they don’t really treat him bad but they seem to have quirks. He’ll get through all the ins and outs of the job. He s’ still learning. When my mom and I went to the store, the pharmacist asked where I work. I said I am looking for one. Then my mom said I am a writer in my defense. That is kind of true. I do write but I am not yet published. Speaking of writing, I got a very prompt reply from a person who has a YouTube vid. She did not understand my problem as I described it. So, she asked me to send her my document. How courteous. I did my two daily anniversary reviews. Last I checked, I was in the 30’s in the most credited reviews list. And I’ll go up gradually if I keep up with my reviewing. Well, that’s it for now. Good evening. |
| Today has been good I suppose. I did not go to the gym but I did do two anniversary reviews and I read two chapters. I accidently closed my book without any book mark. lol. I had to back track and read some until I came to the chapter I was on. I have not read in a while. It was nice to read again. I have like two chapters left. I hot the PS4 for about 36 minutes. I could have played more but I knew I had to stop. I plan to begin my Short Shots story today. Psalm 86:12 I will praise you O lord my God with all my heart and I will glorify your name for evermore. Last night was nice. All the ladies were there. We continued on our study on the trinity of man. A new woman named Summer was there for the first time. She was prayed over of course. Then two others went next. Then I was last. It’s nice and cold outside-perfect for going to the store. (= I got some sushi from the store for $9. It was a good portion. It was ironically unhealthy though. It was high in cholesterol and saturated fat. It will be awhile until I try that again. Jim is at work. He gets off at 6:30 P.M. He has been very chipper lately. My prayers must be having affect. It’s been three days since Lance was put down. It’s slowly getting better I suppose. There are times when I think of him and I sob a bit. Now it’s just Merlin and Nimue now. Perhaps we will get another puppy –once Merlin gets the boot that is. lol. My mom and Jim keep saying they’ll do it but nothing happens. I have not heard from our handy man Lonnie in a long time. I believe I heard he is terminally ill. I could be wrong. He still needs to do one more job we paid him to do. I always hear that phone tone whenever spam pops up in my mom or Jim’s phone. I seldom ever get any though. Once again we prayed for a job for me last night. It will come. And it will be close. Hopefully it will be a job like Walgreens or Hallmark where you’re not bombarded with people all at once. I couldn’t imagine checking at a grocery store. I’d have tons of anxiety if it were that. I still have some issues with MS Word that I need to solve. Gio said he may come Most Excellent Way. He asked for the time and place. Well, that is it for now. Goodbye. |
| Man am I mentally beat. I’ve been scouring YouTube for hours on how to get rid of the blank page that is created when I add text with a doc that has a header. I also need to get a hold of how to properly put space between paragraphs and make the document single spaced. I’ve watched a lot of videos that did not help me at all. But “Seek and ye shall find” as the Bible says. I got to keep on keepin’ on. lol. It may take weeks or months even. Uhg. I won’t give up though. Church was good. I talked to Jared some. I told him I would hit him up and ask to hang out but he pretty much ignored me. It is what it is. I’m having trouble coming up with things to type. I’m fried. The back door is open to let the cool air in. Dan, my ride, had his doors off in the cold. Even with a sweater it was chilly. lol. We had communion today. It happens the first Sunday of each month. Jim works until 9 P.M. tonight. I didn’t hit the PS4. I’m too wiped to play. I’ve had three eggs and a peanut butter and honey sandwich to eat today. There is not much food in the house. And there’s not much healthy stuff to pick up at the store. Jim said California Rolls are unhealthy. It’s pretty much just fish and imitation crab meat made of more fish. We need to go to Costco soon. Eating healthy leaves you hungry. lol. I need to go to the gym early in the morning. Jim’s vacation is officially half way done. It went by fast. Well, I’m wiped. Goodbye. |
| Today is a sad day. After watching our dog Lancelot suffer so bad with glaucoma, lameness, sporadic breathing and racing heard and trembling, we put him down. Our poor dog is gone forever. He was put to sleep at about 6 A.M. It was later in the day that his absence really sunk in and I started to ball my eyes out. I miss so much. He’s at peace now. I went to the men’s breakfast today at church for the first time. It was nice. They served eggs, sausage, hash browns, bacon as well as fruit and yogurt. I had to use my earplugs because there was worship. Doing so turns down the volume in my ears. It blasts my eardrums otherwise. lol. It is great outside. It’s actually cold – and sprinkling too. Jim is getting ready for work. He’s a little under halfway through his vacation from Caesar’s Palace. Michael called me. He loves Jesus so much. That’s all he talks about. I told him about Lancelot and that brought up the idea of animals having souls or spirits. The Bible does say the animals will lay down with the new earth. I do think humans have something significantly more than animals spiritually. I did my two anniversary reviews today. One of them was a poem from a preferred author. It was great! I gave it five stars. The poem was about nature, specifically summer and winter. It was very image creating and I told the author that. I even created a poetic line to express what I felt from the poem. lol. I called my bro Josh. I wanted to know if he received and read my pesky second chapter. It is read only. I did find a way to edit it but I have to do this quick method of doing it. I can’t just click onto it from the Documents Files. When I have put page numbers down and put my chapter title headers, I will submit it to this one Christian publisher I found on the net. But I also need to space things right. I did it once but I can’t seem to do it again. When Josh comes, I hope he’ll be able to help me out. But I don’t think he has Word 2010.With God’s help, it will all happen. (= The front and back doors are open to let in the cool air. I’ll ask my mom if we can go to Smiths’ for lunch meat tomorrow. I need something healthy but good too. I have a balance of about $181 now on my snap card. I know I’ll get a job soon; we prayed about it in Most Excellent Way together. The same prayer was made for a young lady too. It will come. Well, that’s’ it for now. Goodbye. |
