Over the Worst

Page 83 of 365.

Good Afternoon Lovies. I hope the day is good to you. It was a weekend of drav, laying around being sick. I, at least, got some writing in, so I don't feel like I wasted the entire time.

Today, I am happy to say I think I am through the worst of it. I get extremely frustrated because I know there are places I need to go and people I urgently need to see.

I noticed over the weekend, that this isn't the week I was dreading when it come to medical appointments. I only have dietician and thrombrosis; and thankfully, I am having my dietician appointment over the phone. Having diabetes sucks, especially when you don't have a habit or urge to eat. People think diabetes is all about focusing on your sugar intake, but that is only a sliver of what need to be done.

I would love to be able to eat veggies and salads, certain fruits every day; but the government has made that impossible for anyone to afford the healthy food. Sure, they preach a good game, but when you walk into a grocery store and can buy a bag of chips for 98 cents, and buy a head of lettuce at 4 bucks... how is anyone able to sustain a healthy diet??? THIS is what my dietician and I work with. 

My biggest problem is I don't eat. I have always struggled with eating; and the medical experts keep telling me, it actually isn't technically diavetes, it's that my kidneys and liver are not functioning right. Yay me, right?!!

Anywho, I didn't want this to be a blurb about my appointments and stuff. I wanted to celebrate that I am recovering from whatever was kicking my ass the past few days... which means, I plan on venturing out this week... Stay safe. Stay warm. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be LOVED!!!

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
