My Best Friend

-

January 6, 2019: It has come to my attention a few times about the appearance of my friendship with my best friend. Yes, he is married. Yes, I spend a lot of alone time with him.
For years I've always wanted to hunt but I knew it didn't really appeal to dad much and so therefore I never had a dad to take me hunting. I've asked a past bf or two to take me and teach me but they never did. Then one day my friend and I were talking and I mentioned that I had always wanted to hunt and he said he could teach me and take me. I was excited. My parents were ok with it.  His wife was ok with it. I was more than ok with it. I was excited! He was more than happy to teach and take me along. I knew I was safe with him if I got hurt since he's in the medical field. I've gotten to know his wife some in the past year and I have also gotten to know his youngest daughter who is a few years younger than myself as well.
I've learned something new. I learned to hunt. I got to go hunt with him and one of his buddies. I've been accepted into the tribe of hunters, lol! I  have a new hobby that I love with a passion and even my therapist can see how happy hunting and shooting my crossbow makes me. Everyone has their hobbies that makes them happy. I finally found someone to take me under their wing and teach me. I had to take online classes. He pushed me and encouraged me that I could do it. He taught me how to use and carry my crossbow properly. I got frustrated with it at times but I finally got better than him at least that is what he said one time. However, he also said women usually are better than men. I also have my grandfather who was a sharpshooter in the Army, so it's in my dna to be good you can sorta say. I love my best friend and his wife and the daughter as well. I love that he got to teach me a new hobby/skill.
Today was the last day for deer season. No I didn't get a deer. Maybe next year. Then I get to learn how to process a deer. I guess one skill at a time. There was so much to learn and to do. Learn to shoot a bow. Clothes and gear to buy. Online courses. Practice, practice, practice. And then the actual hunting.  Yesterday and today I went hunting on my own and it was so peaceful and fun. I cleared my head. I relaxed and hoped for the best.
Let me ask you something before you judge me. What big thing has your best friend taught you recently? How much time do you spend with your best friend? What do you and your best friend do together?

This is my blog. This is my voice.

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...
