25 Cents

-

June 11, 2017: So today I was talking to a guy from Auntie Anne's, and as we were walking and talking, he stopped to look for some Reese's Pieces. He found some and bought both of us a small handful.  A little later as I was thinking about things as I often do, I realized that I have not had a guy buy me something with the exception of my brother,  dad and a very trusted friend of mine since I was with Rob Jones. Rob bought me flowers.  However this particular individual bought me a small handful of my favorite kind of candy. Sometimes women don't need flowers,  sometimes all it takes is 25 cents. I will always think about tonight and if the person who bought the candy for me is reading this, just know I truly appreciate the kindness and it's the thought that counts, not the value. You have no idea what it meant to me.
There is a a funny joke going around at work that a lady from one of the store's is pregnant by a security guard there. This is not true. However,  this joke is going so far that a real baby shower is going to be thrown and all gifts will be given to Home of the Innocent. I heard this and started laughing so hard, but I love the idea.
Right now as I lay here in bed I'm hurting severe from my arthritis.  I sometimes wonder if I have early onset of arthritis because of my family having arthritis, from my high school marching band and ROTC injuries, from my Celiac Disease which is known to cause osteoarthritis, or from everything in combination. I have been dealing with the arthritis for several years already,  but I was not diagnosed till January this year. I suspect everything had a roll to play in it.
Well, as usual, on Sundays I get off work at 9, so right now I'm just laying here in bed trying to relax. I hope all of my reader's have a pleasant night, whenever it is that you read this. I'm going to try to sleep well and have pleasant dreams. It doesn't always happen,  but it's not for a lack of trying.  Good night to all, and sleep well and have pleasant dreams yourself!

Stressed beyond belief

-
January 12th: First of all, Happy New Year. I'm stressed beyond belief. I don't know what to do. I've had a migraine headache for over a week. Went to the Dr yesterday and the shot in my butt didn't help. My brother-in-law's health I feel like it continues to decline every week or at least something new pops up every week. If it's not his health it's something else that we have to deal with. I know this is life, but I can't keep on doing this at this rate. I need help. We need help. If it's not my brother-in-law, then it's something to do with the farm. If it's not that, it's something to do with us personally.  Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile but I haven't known what to even say for a long time now. It's like my creativity spark has just disappeared from me. I need prayers, positive vibes, and positive thoughts coming our way.  I just recently lost my Great Aunt, and growing up I always knew she'd die one day too, but j...

Family is Tough Sometimes

-
To my reader's, I thought I should come here and blog about recent events.  My brother-in-law has been diagnosed with stage 4 non-alcoholic liver disease aka NASH. I do feel like I know nothing about this horrible disease. However, I probably know more than you , my reader, just because I am learning about it as I go. He sleeps a lot due to the ammonia levels in his system.  He's extremely jaundice, which for anyone who doesn't know, he looks yellow, including the whites of his eyes.  Today seems to be a good day. He seems very alert and less confused than other times. Some days he is not alert, and can barely function.  We've called in hospice and he is currently under their care. I never thought I'd be 38 years of age and dealing with hospice for a brother! It's overwhelming to say the least. So much to do, learn and ask. We've received some great things from them to help him around the house to be independent. He is a guy that desires to be independent so...

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

-
December 30, 2017: On December 29, at 9:30 am, I started going to counseling and I saw a Dr. I'm being diagnosed with Bi-polar II. My moods have been very unstable recently. I'm being put on different medicine than I was before. I am waiting now for the pharmacy to locate and obtain gluten free medicine for me. I started group counseling today.  It's interesting to say the least. There are people in there that I can relate with very easily.  I hope this makes me not feel alone. I know I'm not, yet I feel like I am. I have my parents, and my 2 friends. Group counseling was tough cause my anxiety reared its ugly head a bit. It wasn't severe, just enough to make me feel uncomfortable. Men and women both. I sat between women to try to feel more comfortable. I wanted to run away and hide. Once I got home it calmed down. I want to get my agoraphobia under control when it comes to unfamiliar territory. I made a decision today to do the $1 a week savings plan as my New Yea...
