Good Saturday morning, I pray and hope that everything and everyone is having an awesome day. It is sunny and getting warm here in West Michigan.
I just wanted to pop in and touch base with everybody and share what I’m listening to today, at least this morning anyhow. Have a wonderful day folks.🤗🙏
Good evening, your friendly, random hobby blogger. 🤗 I wanna do a daily/weekday recap. You’ve heard and seen some of my weekly/daily recap, but here, I’ll be going a bit more in detail. For starters, I’ve just watched the starting of this conference, which was the prayers, information for it, etc. https://dfj2020.com/, it’s free, but they’d like it if you register. There is a teens version for anyone who’s got teen girls interested in it.
Today, I didn’t have to get up at, before bird thirty, hubby had the weekend off, so he’s going fishing with his mom and our youngest daughter tomorrow, while I hang out and relax. I’ve gone to physical therapy at our metro hospital, Rivertown mall location. For anyone who’s wondering, I’m in West Michigan area, and it’s one of the three big hospital outfits, similar I’m sure, to other towns/states’medical facilities. I’m on the fence on which hospital outfit I’m more particular to, they’ve all got their niche in which they’re recognized for. Physical therapy woke up the pain my stress echo gave me Weds.
After my PT appt and their running around, we stopped at a McDonald’s closer to where my PT offc is located and, well, that was a bit of a nightmare. Praise Jesus my husband kept his cool and minded his P’s and Q’s. Now, I realize that with this covid-19 “pandemic”, that places are looking to fill positions and some are truly looking to fill them with good employees, but some, like today, I think were just looking to fill spots, because, the gal was new, had really no clue what she was doing and apparently, the person or people were supposed to be training her, weren’t as available as they should’ve been. We left there, and headed to McDonald’s closer to home, which wasn’t excellent, but better than the first one.
I didn’t have to go out much this week, thank God. But, a big part of my week was trying to take it easy and many, many phone calls. And receiving many scam calls. I’m not sure about anybody else, but when it comes to scam calls, I love my phone’s ability to handle those calls. My phone, is a Google pixel 3xl and I love my phone. I can’t speak for the newer versions of my phone, but I can say, Google’s screen call feature, love it 😍😍😍 it’s saved me countless hours/days of calls and dealing with scammers. My husband one day, wanted to know how it worked, because, outside of his immediate work dealings, my number and myself, dealt with everything else. Which after 15+years of being everything to everyone around me, I think that should qualify me for obtaining a position as a VA. In case anybody may need a basic, multitasking mom for phone calls. 😁😁
Ok, I think I have bored everyone to death enough. Sorry, I’m not in a position right now to add colors and pretty pictures to keep everyone’s attention, that’ll be one thing I start trying to rectify in the near future. Yes, I’ve found free ways online to teach myself that, among other things.
Have a wonderful and safe Friday night folks. I’ll catch ya later this weekend.
Good afternoon folks, I pray all of you are doing well. Me, I’m here, I’m alive and kickin, vocally anyway. Hubby got home last night from work, with very scheduling pleasant news-he’s not working today or tomorrow and he’s going fishing!! My response-🙏🤗. Thank you Jesus, two days off.
I had P.T. This afternoon while the family got stuff prepared to go fishing. I hurt now more than I did when I got there, but, sadly that’s prior for the course for somebody with chronic pain/chronic illnesses. Neither here nor there, I do have a couple things to post here, that, hopefully all who are pretty sick of quarantine days and covid-19 as I am.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3098151736906976&id=100001365416784. I pray you all have a wonderful rest of your day and an awesome weekend, me, I’ll be relaxing, reading and writing, with tentatively, no hospital/ER trips. 🤗
Good afternoon, it’s me again and I just wanted to share another devotional that really spoke to me. I hope everyone is doing well.
I’m trying to take it easy today, but it’s not working so well. If you haven’t already seen my post from Weds, I had to have a CT with contrast yesterday morning, which was fine, even thought I ended up with two i.v.’s and then my stress echo, done with meds instead of actually being on the treadmill. Oh wow, that sucked and it really hurt.
Ok, I’m off again, to try getting some reading in and to finish my laundry. Later folks.
Happy Thursday morning everybody. I just got done watching this video and I’m leaving the link here for anybody who may want to watch it/listen to, it’s an eye opener, especially if you’ve been going through the motions of the day. I know for me personally, this is definitely something I’ll be listening to, and maybe even sharing here, if not for anybody else here to do, for myself to do and obey God and start reinstilling this into my family’s daily habit.
This was my first thing this morning’s to do, I’ve already been awake off and on since apparently shutting my alarm off at 2:40 this morning, but I’ve gotten hubby out the door, albeit a tad late, started laundry.
I’m off to continue laundry and get some reading in. I’ve got a few e Arc’s to get read in the next few days and some library books to attend to. I’ll try getting on a bit later today to update on how much reading I actually accomplished. Have a blessed day all.
Good morning lovely people. Here in Michigan, at least where I’m at, it is in between raining and clear. I’ve had one test done today, in waiting on the other. Invisible, chronic illnesses are not for the faint of heart.
I’ve dealt with invisible chronic illnesses for a long time and they suck. Today, I’m special, I’m blessed with having two i.v.’s. I just wanted to jump in, say hello, I’m still alive and kicking and to share something today that has already been comfort to my family.
Pray Confidently to God
King David faced difficulties and was threatened by many wicked oppressors. Without help and hope in the situation, David turned to God and prayed “But You, O Lord…” He used “But” to turn the hopeless situation to hope, from helplessness to confidence because he knew God is greater than his problem. David prayed confidently that God is his shield to protect him and God is his provider to give him glory. When David has no one to lift him up, God encourages him.
Prayer: Father Lord, we declare that you are our shield and our provider. In all circumstances we are facing, Holy Spirit, help build up our sense of security in You alone. In Jesus’ Name
One hour before my other test, two i.v.’s that are tender. I’ll update again later. Have a blessed day today.
Good afternoon folks, I’m back for a how my week was. My week went alright, last Saturday, we had come back from a pretty good weekend in Cadillac, MI, a really nice campground. We had friends up there and we hung out, destressed, and overall, enjoyed ourselves.
Last Sunday we hung out at home, watched our church service online, recouped from vacation. 🤣 Monday, I had a phone appt with my gastro Dr, I had to make sure that I got his attention, when I explained that, I’m tired of all these “unexplainable” pains and whatnot in my guts and under my ribcage. Drs do not like it when you put your feet down and explain, I’m not gonna keep doing this, test here, oh everything was negative, so, I’m not exactly sure what else to do. Some Drs may even ask you, well, what would you like us to do, or, what do you want me to do? Well, instead of half assing your job, buck the system, think or go outside of the little box the government doesn’t want you to do, to find the root of the problem, if you don’t, you’ll have lost customers due to your inability or fear of getting in trouble.
I’m sorry guys, ranting was not on my agenda, however, it apparently is meant for you to hear. Tuesday,I had nothing going on, I finished two books, I just need to get them up here, Wednesday, I had a follow up with the PA in my Drs office (primary Dr). She asked about how my two blood pressure meds were working, one is a water pill that helps aid the blood pressure. I explained, umm, well, the water pill doesn’t seem to be working at all, the actual blood pressure pill seems like it’s helping to keep my BP down. But there’s still swelling in my legs, I understand being heavy and it bothering your joints to squat or walk or kneel down, but when I do them, it straight up hurts, which means, there’s still swelling. I’ve also had an 8lb weight gain since last being seen a few weeks ago. Because of all that, they drew blood, the same evening, they called to let me know, that my one blood test called the d-dimer, something I had never heard of till now, was elevated, meaning, I’m now scheduled for a CT with contrast dye, to rule out blood clots somewhere in my heart. I’ll be having an echo test for my heart shortly after that. Along with other tests my gastro will be having done, to hopefully rule out, cancer, or other serious issues with my pancreas, liver, intestines. Like having chronic pancreatitis, fatty liver disease, and NASH/NAFLD wasn’t bad enough.
Alright, I’ll stop venting. Have a great rest of your weekend, prayers and blessings to you all, and feel free, if anybody is dealing with invisible diseases or invisible illnesses that nobody can figure out, I’m here to listen, sympathize and pray.

Good afternoon folks. I’m sure you’re wondering why my title is, Ted Bundy catches a killer, I’ll explain. I’ve been much more into true crime crime lately, now, I do love me tv crime shows, all three of the Chicago’s, law and order SVU,9-1-1, etc, however, I do love me true crime.
I have been watching forensic files, true crime shows on YouTube, unsolved mysteries and stupid scammer videos on YouTube also. Oh, least I forget, tons of booktube videos. Which would explain why, I don’t get much reading, writing, blogging, or anything else for that matter.
So, for anybody else into true crime shows, books, podcasts, take a listen to forensic tales on stitcher, or wherever you’re able to listen.
Praying everyone else is doing well. Safe travels to anybody traveling, prayers and blessings to your day, and if there’s true crime podcasts, shows, books that you listen to, that I may not have heard about, please feel free to drop it in the comments section and I’ll see you in another post.
Good afternoon folks, just a short touch base message. So, in my last post,I popped in for a recap of my crazy week, and these past few weeks, has been exactly what the title says, rest, relax, recoup.
That, has mainly been recouping from my surgery, which went well. It was squamous cell carcinoma, they got it all in one cut, which was awesome. It sucked being grounded, and I’ll still have to take it a bit easier, even though I’m a momma and wife, so, clearly, that won’t be easy.
In other news, I have actually finished two books, which I will try getting up by Monday. Both very good, and highly recommended.
Today is also July 1st, the start of camp nanowrimo, which, I’m gonna try my hand at. We’ll have to see how that goes. So many opportunities for writing prompts/story starters God gives us, while we sit and go “I’ve got writers block, what do I write?” Yeah, I’m a big culprit of that, so, as I’m taking it easy, I’ll be doing some writing and tentatively, reading.
If you ever wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans. Then sit patiently, as he changes your plans to suit him.
Have a great night folks, have a wonderful rest of your night.
Good afternoon folks, my week has been pretty, well, strange. Last Sunday was pretty alright. Monday, I was in transit with mother in law to my surgery, and we encountered a flat tire. It was getting close to the wire on what time I got there, and I wasn’t sure if I was going to get there or if I was going to have to reschedule. Then, thank you Jesus, Mom’s small group members, came, cutting there grocery trip short, to come and transport me there, with five mins to spare.
So, had my skin cancer surgery done. She stopped to see about length of time to get her tire repaired, and that brought her to getting me home, getting it repaired and my afternoon to take a nap and her getting dinner for us.
The kids had to have their computers brought back to the school, and then the week, went kinda alright. Yesterday however, hubby and I got outta the house together and went and adulted, to his bosses birthday party. Which was exhilarating, painful, but exhilarating.
Today, is Father’s day, so I am wishing everyone here, a wonderful father’s day,I prepped dinner and breakfast, which was a bit too much for my surgical incision. I never thought I’d hear any Dr, telling me I had cancer, but I did/do.
In mid July, I will become a grandma, and I will have a F/u with my primary Dr regarding my blood pressure meds, and in mid July, I’ll be seeing a spinal specialist regarding my latest MRI and what may have to happen to resolve these headaches I’ve had straight for a year.
I’m having issues giving my personal battles to the Lord, but I know, God’s got this.
To close up this post, I did read and finished an ebook, that’s not actually out till November this year,
It was a pretty good informational book for people who weren’t aware of some of these things, but for ones who’ve been doing some of these, it’s kind of a no-brainer. It was a good book, again, it’s actually something that should’ve been out about the same time technology got it’s boost, into smartphone/tablet season.
So folks, on that note, happy father’s day to all the father’s here, have a wonderful rest of your day. Prayers and blessings to the rest of your week.
