I come to you all with good intentions, to be consistent with posting and reviewing but health issues can truly derail a person. Good news, my referrals were finally put in for MRIs (brain and spine) so I hope to have answers soon.
In other news, my son’s job on the reservation had to be cut short. Toxicity in the workplace cannot be ignored. Once again he is seeking employment and perhaps a new direction. In his down time he created a non-profit that combats graffiti with urban art done by local artists.
Right Now:
I have student ministry this morning and will be working on a message for November later. My brain has to go through this “gathering” phase and then the inspiration pours out.
This Week:
Let me just say that Halloween should always be on a Saturday. Tuesday is just not acceptable. The traffic just to get home from work will be a nightmare. I’ll be lucky if I can get home before the first trick or treaters arrives! Plus, cooking dinner. The wait times for delivery or takeout are brutal on Halloween. I will probably throw something in the Crockpot.
Reading:
I heard about a re-telling of 1984 titled Julia. I’m intrigued. I just added it to my Kindle.
Watching:
We were in the mood to watch a spooky movie so we tried the remake of Friday the 13th. Oh boy. It was not good. Honestly, the original is not great either but I guess I prefer the campy-ness of it.
Listen, you all have a really good week. I hope to get those MRI appointments made this week. I am trying to remain hopeful but it’s alarming to be able to walk one minute, and then a few moments later be completely unable to control your legs. Pray for me, please. Wish me luck. Think positive thoughts. I appreciate it.

Many many prayers. How frightening it must be
Thank you. I go from being very worried to being very mad. There’s so much I want to do but right now I feel like I am walking around with a wet fur coat. So weighed down. It’s exhausting.
What a great idea your son had for a non profit!
Sorry to hear about the on going health issues. Will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
If you’re still in a reading mood, I just finished the new William Kent Krueger book, The River Runs Through It. He is such a wonderful writer, love him. Just started Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson, it’s going to rain all day- so looking forward to a day of reading.
Sounds wonderful. I’ve only read one Krueger book but loved it. Adding his new one to my list. Oddly enough, I am giving the message at church on 11/12 so I have been immersed in the Bible and it’s been good for my current state of mind.
I am sorry you are going through this. I hope you get answers that lead to solutions soon.
I agree with you on Halloween. I also wish there were “hours” … you know like 6-8:30. I just like to get the dogs up and settle down by nine.
Interesting book you added to your Kindle.
Happy Sunday
Some small towns do have rules for trick or treating. Hours, rules for when it falls on a school night, etc. I just remember me flying home in a rush to get the kids fed and dressed before the onslaught. I could have used an extra hour for sure.
This year was really good. I had two students from church stop by the house and I had conversations with all of the older kids. They will always be welcome to trick or treat. Why not let them be kids for a little while longer?
It must be just so scary to go through this. I so hope they figure it out, and fix it.
Praying that you are doing better soon.
Hoping your son finds his perfect employment match soon.
What a great idea for a non-profit!
Thinking of you! Sending {{{hugs}}}}
I am so sorry that you are going through these horrible health issues. It must be scary. I do hope you get the MRIs soon and that they figure out what’s going on (and that there is an easy and painless solution). Sending hugs!
Hoping and wishing for the best for your health.
Good luck to your son in finding something he really likes to do. Sometimes it takes a few different jobs to find it.

Oh gosh Ti — I send you positive thoughts for your MRI. What you’re going through sounds very tough. I hope they can help you. So sorry this is going on. Keep us updated.
Still waiting for the MRI referrals. They were put in two weeks ago. Still waiting.
I hope you get some answers soon, Ti! This has been going on a long time, and I’m sure you’re very frustrated.
Will you have either/both of the kids home for Thanksgiving this year?
My daughter arrives for Thanksgiving on 11/17 and will return after that weekend. My son arrives Thanksgiving morning at the crack of dawn and leaves the next morning.
I hope your son finds a good place to work that fulfills him. I am still keeping you in my thoughts as you face your health struggles. HUGS.
