Weather is Jumbled Up

            For the last day of May, June begins tomorrow.  Am I ready for summer?  Yes, I am, but it does not feel like summer to me.  It feels much cooler and the weather has been rainy and wet.  Did the weather get mixed up a little bit after January 22, 2019 rolled around five months ago?  I think it did.  I have been dealing with some depression or some kind of low because the weather has not been very cooperative lately.  I even remember leaving the hospital on January 22, 2019 in a snowstorm.  The snowstorm was the first big one we had since winter became official on the calendar.  It is almost like the weather went from summer to winter because the weather has been fall-like up until the day I left the hospital.  I do not forget that easily – yet. I am 48 years old.  I feel the weather has been having some issues lately.  Or is it the fact I live in Wisconsin and the state has its issues?  Maybe that’s it?  Global warming comes to mind.

Thought For the Day 5-29-19

Come into actual, personal contact with Christ, that you may exert an influence that is uplifting and reviving. - Pr 156

Living My Life

            I have been out of the hospital and on outpatient dialysis now since May 7, 2019.  I feel that I still have freedom and I still living on my own in my own apartment.  I am indeed living my life the best I can.  It has been a while since I have seen my counselor SW and this coming Wednesday, May 29, will be the first time since this winter days began.  I am looking forward to seeing SW after a long time – a few months.  I have been doing okay and I will be okay, but I have been struggling enough to notice that some things have changed for me emotionally.  I do not trust strangers anymore and we meet strangers every day. In fact, when I first began outpatient dialysis, I met some strangers at the dialysis center, and now I consider them all family  members in my professional realm of life whether or not the workers are traveling every few weeks.  The dialysis center has seen two travelers depart since I began dialysis.  I have been dealing with life the best I can.

            One of the toughest things I have been dealing with is weather.  I am not sure if the weather here in Wisconsin has fallen behind this year or what, but it has been rainy, stormy, and the sky has been showing a lot of grayness. It is sad.  I get out as much as I can for a little before dialysis and while I have appointments.  Not always can DKF get me out for a drive every time I leave my apartment for dialysis, but I get out for a little while before being hooked up to a machine for 3 ½ hours.  The weather has been a little unbearable lately.  I am still living my life as normal as possible. 

Today'a Plan II / May 19

Hello and good afternoon from Janesville, Wisconsin.  The rest of my day and plans was that my AR parents visited for a while then headed up north to Gays Mills to see other family before heading back home for the rest of the summer.  They travel so much to see family that they have vowed that they will be spending the summer in AR/at home this year/this summer.  I find that understandable because home is a very important part of life.  In the past few years, I do not remember them being home much.

Today's Plan I / May 19

I have not come up with what I want to write about in my blog just yet, but what was in coming will come to me soon.  I have been busy getting ready for my parents visit this weekend. They were planning on being here yesterday after dialysis, but their little dog S (Female)  could not travel because she was not feeling very good.  The idea of them being here around 10 AM this morning pleases me.  I am glad their dog is feeling better.  Here I am waiting patiently while I should make sure I have brushed my hair for company, lol.  After they leave, who cares?  I do, but it is Sunday.

Yet to Be Known

Have I written a blog before?  No.  Do I want to? Yes.  What can I write about?  I have read many blogs and never thought of writing one of my very own until now even though I have had an account at Blogger since 2015.  I just never found the time to write a blog – in the case since 2015 begin writing a blog.  Today, I do not have an excuse to not start.  Is it different from writing in a diary?  I believe so…yes.  I am a Christian who wants to spread God’s Word to others, tell my story to others, and make my mark in the world.  I do have a story to tell – a true story, and writing a blog seems to be a good place to tell my true story at.  Would I have readers and followers?  That is something yet to be known.
