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.

Good morning! I am seriously excited about it being October. Some of our neighbors have already decorated for Halloween. I brought my stuff out at work but maybe this weekend we will get the house stuff up.

Right Now:

Grabbing a few chapters of Save What’s Left before heading out to hang with the students.

This Week:

No news from the doc. Nothing has turned up  besides the five auto-immune issues but she says they are well managed through medication. So then why can’t I walk like a normal person?  Could it be long covid?

Next weekend I visit my son in Seattle. That should be a nice break. He plans to take me to all the bookstores. One store has cats! He knows about my walking difficulties so we will do what we can at a very slow pace.

Reading:

I’m in a weird reading mood so I am reading my book club pick, The Marriage Portrait and dipping in and out of some review copies.

Watching:

The students at church mentioned a show on Netflix called Manifest. It has four seasons! I thought it was new. It sounds interesting. Maybe I will give it a go.

Have a great week. We had a short burst of heat again but now it’s supposed to really dip into cool temps. I am looking forward to it!
