I’m thankful that I had the opportunity, with the help of my family, to extend hostility this past weekend. I had some friends to my home for a meal and some association. Everyone enjoyed themselves and that did my heart good!
It can be easy in life to be consumed with our problems, ills and various circumstances, but it never fails to be rewarding when you think of others and try to focus on how to bring joy to someone else.♡
Good evening all! Hoping you’ve had a pleasant day.
This day started off very challenging! I was very sore as well as exhausted with the thought of commuting to work. After two Advil, my heater and settling in at work, I managed to feel better, and thanks to Jehovah, got through the day😩
Now however, having shed my bandages, annoying clothing lol, and being able to relax in my home and room, I feel so much better! Even better is knowing that I have five wonderful days before I need to concern myself with the dread of another morning where I have to prepare for work! Thank you Jehovah! I get to enjoy my friends and family in MY environment😄🤗👏
Hello All!
With the potential option of taking advantage of what the city calls,” ordinary disability”, which would allow me as a vested employee, to basically retire due to non-work related illness, I have reached out to my dermatologist, psychologist and primary care physician in order to obtain from them, in writing, why I should be found eligible for this provision. Today was my appointment with the dermatologist. I was optimistic after speaking to one of her residents, that today’s visit would send me away with what I need to present to HR in order to get set up for an evaluation visit with the city doctor.
Those hopeful expectations were dampened when I was told by the dermatologist that “I haven’t exhausted all approaches to my condition” REALLY?! Do you tell the cancer patient to keep pushing because there are soooooo many possible approaches to treating the disease??!! That in no way validates the decade I’ve spent, primarily, self-managing this thorn in my flesh! I hate when physicians equate their so called expertise, with what you as the patient know as a result of living in YOUR body!
Having shared that, I asked Jehovah before embarking upon this to help me see his direction either way. I’ll continue to hold to my faith that he’ll do so. I do thank you all for indulging my venting session♡
I have the best sisters ever! I love them so much and am thankful to have them in my life. I’m not a big social media person by any means, but I wish to publicly state how great they are!
Being able to spend time with them this past weekend was so enjoyable. They’re both blessings in my life.
Good morning my faithful few 🙂
It has been quite a while since I’ve posted anything. I felt the need to do so today.
Not feeling down, but was quite disappointed to realize that I physically couldn’t get into an adorable peasant blouse that my sister bought me last year. It buttoned down to a point, but not far enough for me to be able to pull it up, and pulling it over my head definitely wasn’t working..ugh! I’ll have to pass it along. Amazing how much one can long to live inside another body 🙂
Moving on, I attended the regional convention of Jehovah’s witnesses a few weeks ago. The theme was “Don’t give up”. If that’s not timely, I don’t know what is. No matter what challenge anyone is facing, the admonition and encouragement given spoke to it. I am determined to keep going, knowing that Jehovah has something better in store and that he knows EXACTLY how I feel, always.
It’s important in life to remember and count your blessings. Among the blessings in my life, is my nephew, James Devon Rivera. A young man of integrity, loyalty and great character!
It brought me great joy to see him graduate college this past Thursday. Anybody can obtain a piece of paper, but the sense of pride is born out of an individual who wants to be the best person they can be, and desires to do for and help others. That’s the person I know my nephew to be!
Love you to the moon and back little boy♡
Howdy folks….
Almost halfway through this week. Feeling tired, but who isn’t I suppose. I was able to make a dermatologist appointment for the 22nd of this month. In addition to some dry patches that have been showing up on my left leg, there’s a large area of dry and sensitive skin on my left ribcage. I attribute it to years of having hot water run on my left armpit since it’s always been the worse one. It’s rough and burns, particularly after I shower. I’ve been using vaseline and cocoa butter lotion, but I know that it’s time to seek medical attention. I look forward to hopefully getting some help.
So that’s that. I’m going to take a sick day Friday and rest. That I look forward to.
Hope you all are well……ttys
Hi loyal readers!
I haven’t checked in in a while. I’m doing alright. My sisters and I went to Puerto Rico for a few days. It was great being with them. No matter where we may have gone, I know it would have been a good time.
I so appreciate the way they look out for me, as well as how we look out for each other. From making my bed, preparing my bandages, offering to help me dress and going to get breakfast, my sisters are special ladies!
Do we always agree or get along? Of course not. But we love each other and I wouldn’t trade them for ANYTHING!
I love you Leah and Lori! You’re the best!
Good evening readers!
Coming off an extended weekend. I had off for Good Friday, and I had today as well. Yes, I’m thankful for those four days, however, my mind and body are in need of another day! I feel the thought of preparing for and going to work causing anxiety. That indicates to me that I need to take the extra day!
June marks 17yrs with the city/my office. I’ve earned my time wouldn’t you say?😉
I’ll pray and concentrate on preparing my self for Wednesday tomorrow. That’ll help it not to be such a drudgery
Hi all
Few days since I’ve checked in. Over the past week, a few people have expressed that they’ve found my blog encouraging. It’s encouraging to me that by sharing my experience, I can uplift someone else.
Thank you for allowing me to share♡
