( Hi y'all 🤠, I wrote the following just free hand on Facebook. I had the Wilderbeast yuk, this morning 🌄 🌅 and for 24 days pretty much didn't. Maybe 4 days of lil beastie but have had more energy lately.

Yesterday I brought out the tote of Xmas 🎄 🦌 🎁 ornaments from my closet,along with Mench on the bench and Hanukkah menorahs and candles.
Cheryl couldn't find the Xmas stockings in it and I emptied out my walk in closet and added to the stack's of books and other stuff waiting for a place to be!

As it turned out they WERE in the bottom of the green tote,as I thought they would have been the first to be packed! There's only 2 stockings 🧦 to put up, instead of the many for the grandkids and pets. As was in the past.
I will copy some of the notes I've been taking about everything going on. From changing my meds to funny conversations that seemed to be worth writing down! We've been watching NCIS and Origins both really good shows 😎 😁 💜. Also still watching " Call the Midwife, and Poldark on Netflix. Another great period show that takes place in the 1780s and around. Awesome storyline and very dimensional characters.
So below is the Facebook post with pictures of the tree and decorations.
I've been meaning to bring some pics here to share and start learning to use the formula to share Merit Badges too. Mike was kind enough to write ✍️ it down and I need to copy it in my WDC notebook 📓 📒 for future reference.
I'm very much behind but haven't stopped either!




(This is the first year I decorated the tree myself. She did the walls but I didn't realize she couldn't see enough to help this year.
She can't see the ornaments,only the tree and lights.
She had beers and I don't drink much or have any smoke right now.
I guess I should have known but didn't. Guess she's right " it's no big deal"
For decades we put up the holiday stuff and I took so many pictures. Of the kids, the food, the places we took em.
Even though I worked in Nursing/retirement homes in my 30 s. It doesn't prepare you for when you get to those ages, yourself
Seeing other seniors at eye doctor visit etc. they look older than us. Short hair ( ours very long) and how people carry themselves or dress.
Seldom do we see others with a young spirit like us!
😉 Guess I'll copy this ditty to add to a blog post later or tomorrow.
Sis was surprised when I said " I didn't know you weren't going to decorate the tree. I was in shock and even though I know your sight isn't good. Didn't get it right away."


We listened to Christmas 🎄🦌⛄ songs and had the Yule log 🪵 on TV. Remembering the time's we had real fireplaces. Real logs we had split 🪓 and enjoyed the heat and the sight of it in Oregon.
On grey 🩶 rainy cold 🥶❄️ days .
" Sometimes the light 🕯️ is shining on me, other times I can bearly 🐻 🐨 See. Lately it appears to me,
What a long strange trip it's been " -indeed- Jerry Garcia 🎼🎶🎸📻🥁💽🍄)

Time to clean 🫧 the kitchen 😉 oh yeah I did get the bathroom cleaned up with the kitties litter box yesterday.
I need a bit of chocolate pudding and whipped cream!
Blessing's y'all 🤠❤️🙏 🌹🪻🌜🕯️☯️

Wow today makes 21 days of no " beast" in the morning! Am thankful to be waking up feeling better each day 😊.
I did get a lot of stuff done in my room, moving my shelf I got from Amazon last Christmas by my closet. I moved a wooden one bought at a thrift store the first year we moved back, to the wall by my bed and put some books on it. The one's I've been meaning to read like "Waging heavy peace ✌️" by Neil Young and " On writing" by Steven King ( which I've read several times since it came out!) and some Spiritual Jewish and Catholic books 📚 😺 🦋 😎 🙏 💟!

I didn't get much writing done yet but organizing my journals and mini notebooks to date them and find old writing projects that never got very far.
I also have to respond to comments on my blog and a review of My Twilight Zone fan group. I have tons of links saved for sharing again.

It really feels like a miracle that I'm well enough to be doing rather than just thinking 💭 🤔 of doing.

Thankful for my grandkids and 3 reached out to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Spoke to 2 today and texted with one yesterday.
Sis and I ordered some Xmas stuff and will be wrapping them up 😁!
Will share this with my peeps here 😉
Have a blessed weekend 🌹 🪻 ☯️ 💐 y'all 💕 🙏 😸 🎵 Grateful!

( I wrote the above for my weekly goals update! The only thing I missed doing was enter the WDC contest for writing about what inspired us from a song that was shared from YouTube! It was about being thankful 🙏 and I'm going to probably do a post here anyway and include the song
I was very touched 🥲 by it and subscribed to the group playing it. Sorry I missed y'all this week but you understand! Hugs 🤗 to y'all and speak soon 🔜! 😽
Blessings 🙏 💞

( Was heartbreaking to learn about the 2 National Guards shot this week, praying that he the 24-year-old soul will make it.)
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕🙏

Whew folks thanks ever so much for the meaningful virtual hugs 🤗🌹 and stuff yesterday especially!

Today the test was hard but turned out groovy 😁!
My stomach is normal and looks like I'm going to be ok y'all!
Since everything checked out it seems the only culprit was the medicines I was on for it...

I won't go into detail but couldn't have anything to eat and drink. And had to call and make sure I could take my medicine like thyroid and such. It was ok but wanted to be sure 😊!
I thought I'd have four hours to hang out and write ✍️ but had to stay in the machine for couple of hours, looking at the ceiling, watching Myth Busters!
I was let out near noon and had to be back at noon. Had a quick smoke and it turned out I was 90 % 👍 done and left soon after.

I forgot they gave me some nasty oatmeal plain and a slice of bread. I couldn't eat much of it ugh!

So I'm hoping to maybe make weekly goals again and settle down here 😉😄 again 🙏💗!
For those who don't know Cheryl is my stepsister but love is thicker than blood!

I'm getting her the drum and we are getting some Xmas goodies from Amazon!
It's too hard right now to do secret shopping so we picked out some stuff and I'll let you know what!

She was very stressed out about my health and just wanted me to be ok. It didn't seem like the medical profession was being too helpful. Not all are but some have been working with me to be ok in the morning and beyond.

So I got a nice C Note 🎵 from
My Editor Word Smitty with good wishes for the test and thanks for the proofing help on the Blogging Bliss newsletter!

Some GPS to help me on my quest to get my Merit Badges into my WDC album! I'm waiting on Audrey Hepburn from Princess Megan 🌹!
Thanks y'all 😊😊😊✌️☮️🙏😜🦋😸🦃 and Happy thankful thanksgiving 🎉💗💞
Have a blessed night and thanks for all your prayers 🙏!dd

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.

Today is Wednesday and this week has been a big deal and blessings 😄🙏🌹!

There's an old song that in part goes, What a difference a day makes. 24 little hours or so.

This week I've been better for 7 days in a row! No " Wilderbeast" noise and sickness first moments of waking up.

I have changed my intake of sugar and caffeine and am almost totally okay 👍!

Last week my sister saw a reel on Facebook that had an old Chinese herbalist named Moon 🌙 who spoke about how sugar can cause the body to overwork itself and feel like it needs more for energy.
One thing was the fact that I was getting up to pee at 2 or 3 AM. And he mentioned that if one did, it meant the body was working harder to expel the sugar.

After cutting out a lot of sugar and being aware of that reality. I started sleeping through the night 🥱!

I've been doing this for a week and there's a big difference in how I feel. And have gained weight that I needed. I'm 110 not 107!

I'm thankful for my sister trying to help me get better. And my friends whom are a lot here on WDC!
I'm looking forward to being " back from the 🪾 dead" that's really how it felt.

Looking forward to write ✍️ about other things besides my health issues!! I have learned a lot too in my travels.

And maybe will write about it in an item.
Glad we have World News Tonight with David Muir now.
I got us Disney plus this week!
Thanks for being there 😊
Hugs 🤗

Well hi y'all 🤠👋, after I shared my last post thought the cricket 🦗 was chirping! That quiet 🙊🤫!
LoL anyway I was praying 🙏 about it. Maybe I shouldn't be so honest but it was the truth. Thankfully 2 folks have donated to the GoFundMe and more will be they said. I just wanted my sister to be able to drive more safe and have some more of her lost sight.

The next day sis said " Wow that's a pretty depressing blog post!"
I said" Yeah I know but it's all true. Either people care or don't here on Facebook or WDC. Maybe some will help or pray or share. People don't seem to care much these days or if they do, aren't able to do more than let you know. So it's in God's hands. I did my best 😊 and that's all I can do!"



Later I prayed Lord " I want to have good things to write ✍️ about. We used to go places and do things with the kids but it's different now. It's just us out here. So if something good happens I'll write about it or maybe just wait and see if anything does."

Over the past 2 weeks I won $35.00 on a couple of scratch tickets!
People I reached out to surprised us by donating and wanted her to be able to see better again too!
My health is still up and down and won't know more details until after test in November and seeing the folks in Dec. I know I'm not going to be eating cauliflower that's been put through a blender or other things on the menu for Gastroparesis. They don't know if I even have it. I stopped eating granola that's enough!!!

So other people are getting in touch and it's nice 🙂 to have them listen.

Today I was so happy to hear from our friend Mike. I have been praying 🙏 as others here have been for him to be alright and be able to return.


So there's been some miracles and it helps to know that our faith matters. Our prayers are heard even if it takes time to get an answer.

I stopped making weekly goals but hopefully will be at it again soon.

I was asked to do a review for someone's story and decided to do it.

After doing the dinner dishes I play with the kitties 😻 and it's nice to spend time with them. I blow catnip bubbles for them and they jump or Maxy tries to bat at it! We love the big ones and then we play with their other toys. Cat charmer and dancer! I hope to share some of the pictures soon here!

I hope everyone is doing well and it was nice to welcome back Ichabod Crane with all of you!!!!! 🤗📜☺️😺🔔

Time to feed kitties!
And fall 🍂 🍁 finally came! Packing away the shorts 🩳 brrrr!

Whew glad to know I'm inspiring to some y'all 😁! Glad my life and trials have some meaning in this crazy world we find ourselves in!
So last Monday I saw my primary Rn and have been off the blood pressure meds and doing freaking amazing good without it!
We upped the Prozac to 40 mg, which is still a low dose but seems to be keeping me from depression Blvd!

We got a ride to Gulfport 30 miles away ( and where we had lived until 2020 when a tree fell on the house. Sis had to get a home for our German shepherd we had raised five years...)

Anyway Tuesday we saw the Gastro people and I was told it may be Gastroparesis. Long s***ty name for a rare gastric emptying disease. Oh my.
It's when your stomach takes longer to send food to your small intestine.

She gave me samples of FDgard supplements which aren't helping. Menthol and caraway oil.

So I have to take a test and they give you eggs or oatmeal and exray how long it takes to digest. Oh crap 🙄! I have to wait until the week of Thanksgiving because the hospital only has one camera and another one has broken ones!

So I can't go back to Gulfport until Dec 11 to find out if I do or not.
Sis has a birthday on the 10th where are we having fun yet?!

If it is there's no cure and I can be like this forever 😭 oh crap 🙄!
Let's hope and pray 🤞🙏 they CAN fix this. I hate waking up feeling sick almost everyday. 🤢
Wednesday we went to the low vision specialist and he's going to work with her. The glasses to help her drive better were $15,00 but will make them for cost $950.00 and the little tablet that she can use to read and see the tags in the store was $400.00 but will do it for $200.00.



So I made a GoFundMe on Thursday and we got one donation from a Rabbi who is kind and we never met in person but have been friends on Facebook for a few years. My girlfriend of many years is going to help next month. Our kids shared it. I'm going to share it here in the chance someone can help or at least share it. Even five bucks or something would help. I know people are strapped for money too
We only get $64 in snap for sis and I get $87. It goes in a snap and with the government shutdown won't get them this month.

We get Humana cards that can be used for food,TP and kat food once a month and is a blessing. I use mine to pay the Internet so we have that and can stream TV ( all sis can do is watch FB reels and TV. She can't read or sew or do puzzles anymore. It really sucks 😔😭) I also pay the electric with it.

We used to take the kids and grandkids to so many places and do so many things.
This Christmas 🎄 we wanted to take the Amtrak to New Orleans for the day. Our birthday's are in Dec, her's the 10th mine is Xmas! It's not going to happen, besides not having the money, I'm too sick in the morning to make a 7 Am train 🚆🚂 and ride 3 hours there.
We lived in Algiers in 2012, right across the river from New Orleans and loved it! Sis couldn't find work and her daughter's boyfriend lived off us and then left. We raised his autistic son and he's doing fantastic.

It's been a long strange trip like the Grateful Dead sang! Year after year and now we have conversations like " if we can't save the money to move, who's going to rent to us when we're 75? They'll figure we're going to croak!"

That's funny but very sobering in reality.

We know there's no Mr Wizard 🪄 to fix it or be there for us.


We've always depended on each other and worked and pulled ourselves up out of each hole.
Yeah right now I wish I had something to smoke in my pipe 😜! But that's not going to happen either.

So we pray and hang in there.
I miss writing and reviewing and being able to do normal things.

It's getting harder for her to drive and I stopped learning because I'm so sick in the morning. I feel wrung out.

Today my check came and we had to go to the store, she was having a hard time seeing the road and I had to keep her steady in the right lane.

I have to shove my anxiety down and can't be nervous because it makes it harder for her to focus.


Sunday it was raining out and we got alerted on our phones of a Tornado 🌪️ in our area. ( She disconnected her phone service because she can't see to text and can use the 40 bucks for food.)
Anyway I heard the wind pick up and for the first time heard a sound like a "Freight train 🚂" it was scary but before I could say don't open the door 🚪 she did and almost couldn't close it the wind blew so hard 😧😞.

She grabbed Maxy the big Kitty and said " let's get the cat's in the carrier" Maxy scratched her ( we haven't been able to get to Jennifer our groomer in months and doing my best clipping nails) Maxy ran upstairs under her bed and Mojo probably was under mine already.

Later we saw video from Gautier MS, and the Mexican restaurant a mile and a half away was hit pretty bad. So we're a couple of apt buildings.

The portapottys across the street in the park were knocked down.

We were spared and the rest of the duplex complex.

So let me try to share the GoFundMe at least y'all can see what I made trying to help.
I'm going to post first and add it here so I don't lose what I wrote! Hugs 🤗 and thanks y'all for prayers and encouragement 🤗 🙏 🌹


I'm praying 🙏 🌹 for Heaven's help to make things better!
Please help this world and the people also.

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.🙏🌹😻🌲

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 Elf Princess Megan Snow Rose Author IconMail Icon 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! 🎃
