Hello, all you wonderful people, you.
I hope you’ve had a beautiful Saturday, filled with love, joy, and peace.
At the recommendation of a few of you out there, I’m going to keep this brief tonight. I’m very tired and unable to focus on what I’m writing, unsure if any of it will be meaningful or coherent. So, I will write only a little today, so as to keep the habit alive and have a basic record of the day’s events for future reference.
For any who might be wondering, I’ve now written at least one post each of the last 105 days. It’s been 96 days since I last chose to access pornography. It’s been over a month since I last chose to let fly a premeditated curse word, and it might well have been weeks since I’ve let any fly at all. I’m still going strong on the sugar thing, coming up on 100 days fairly soon. Exercise has taken a dive since I’ve not been feeling well and not getting my body taken care of properly, but once I’m back to the land of the healthy, it’ll return as well.
As of right now, my poison Ivy rash keeps on advancing, the least sensitive areas being the last to show that they were affected–the tougher parts of my my fingers, parts of my legs, etc. I’m also getting some re-infections from I know not where, as I see little breakouts happening in more sensitive areas that would have broken out before had they been originally infected.
I don’t know what all has the poison oil on it, but there’s not really much I can do at this point. I gave a worthy effort in cleaning off the Durango, my tools, different places in the house, etc. I think it’s just gonna have to run it’s course–eventually be wiped off whatever it’s on by skin or something else, and… we… we’ll deal with it.
I spent the day chatting with a friend, reading, thinking, and spending lots of time trying to make sure my tech had everything he needed for the jobs of the day. I’ve got a friend in a very challenging situation today, and I spent some time chatting with her a bit.
Anyway, I’ve got some important things on my mind tonight, and there are some things I’m waiting to hear back about from someone, but they will come when they come. Right now, I’m wiped out. I’m gonna take a nap right now, if not just pass out for the night completely.
#1. I’m grateful that though I’m still having new poison ivy issues popping up and some places are getting worse as time goes on, I’m at least grateful that my face, which had it the worst, appears to be on the mend, little by little. Yay!
#2. I’m grateful that I have had peace today through some seriously crazy stuff today. It’s been really nice.
#3. I’m grateful for caladryl.
#4. I’m grateful to be able to sleep until I choose to wake up tomorrow.
#5. I’m grateful I was able to eat a bit more today than has been my usual. I got down two and a half frozen burritos, along with salsa and sour cream. I had to chop the food into little tiny pieces because my face was splitting trying to open my mouth big enough to fit normal bites in, and it hurt a good bit.
Well, folks, I’m gonna grab a glass of water, put some caladryl on my swollen fingers.
I wish you a beautiful night! Loves and hugs to all y’all.
Lift the World.
