I posted something on my birthday and Chelsea said it sounded like I lost my motivation for blogging.
How dare she!
So I hid the post and now I’m trying again, happy late birthday to me!
The 20th anniversary of this blog is coming up, and I’m coming up short on ideas. I need to just get over myself.
I was so young when I started this blog. I had a little girl and I adopted a kitty and there was no shortage of things I wanted to talk about.
My little adorable girl is now 31 years old! Same age I was when I started this blog! Lol nothing ages you like having adult children. Chelsea is still beautiful, kindhearted, and my support and my joy. She takes care of me now, even as I’m taking care of my mom. I thank God every day that I’ve had such love in my life.
As I’ve gotten older, my migraines went away, for the most part. Now my pain comes from my knees and my back. I’m old! I get shots in my knees and my back now, just like all the other old people.
My memory is non-existent. Dwayne will bring up stuff that happened and I remember nothing. I think some of it is because of the medication I was on for years (read, Topamax and Ambien), but mostly it’s because I’m old!
My vision is so much worse than it used to be. Years of loud music and concerts mean that I can’t hear anything anymore. I’ve gained weight that won’t go away.
I go to bed at 8:30 now.
I know I should appreciate things because it will just get worse, but I’m bitter! Why didn’t someone tell me about wearing earplugs and putting lotion on my face and watching what you eat!
My mom is 71 now and her skin looks younger than mine. She put lotion on every day of her whole life. She’s still doing it! And I’m not!
Anyway, I’m just not enthused about getting older, and I need to get out of that mindset. I’m not old! Comparatively, anyway!
So now, I’m just going to sit in the rocking chair and try to come up with some ideas. I’m exciting! I’m young-ish! I can do this!
Thank you, for reading my post about nothing, and please forgive the excessive exclamation marks. Goodnight!
p.s. I'm grateful to be alive. I'm grateful for my experiences. I'm so grateful for everyone who has helped me get where I am today.
