Sunday Reflections 11/4/2012...


I slept really well last night. I think I may have worn myself out completely after doing a record 3.4 mile walk at walking group training, then tackling taking down the Halloween blow-ups, then putting up the Thanksgiving blow-ups...even getting some laundry done in between.

I enjoyed my friend last night, a good steak dinner, a good cock massage at half-time, the win by Kansas State over Oklahoma State...it was a good evening to top off a good day.

Today, I headed to the grocery store early to get a Sunday morning paper. I cancelled my subscription last month in an attempt to cut out unnecessary expenses. I only really read the Sunday morning paper, which has the sale circulars, the TV guide for the week ahead and the<b> classifieds. </font></b>I still like to look at the<b> classifieds </font></b>and if I see a job I think I may be good at, I like to apply, just to see if there is another place to work that is better than where I'm at. Don't get me wrong, I'm at a good place in my employment life, I just don't want to feel like I've settled again. Though this job feels a hellofa lot better than the last one which I hated before I even started. This job simply fits where I'm at in my life, though the pay is considerably less than the previous job.

I'm tackling my finances, trying to trim even more fat from my day-to-day finances. I know if I can just get my car paid off in the next year, I'll be in such a better financial spot than I currently find myself. This also means paying close attention to my overall health and making sure I'm eating right, exercising a little more than I have been and staying in close and constant touch with my primary care doctor. I feel as though I'm a walking time bomb with this Crohn's disease...which some folks comment on how they would be more concerned over the Rheumatory Arthritis...funny, I've lived with the RA and the pain associated with it all my life it really doesn't strike me as something that will cripple me any time soon. I refuse to give in to it, thus, I keep moving.

Now, the Crohn's, well the more I research and read about it, the more disturbed I get as it can come up in other organs and places in my body than just my colon. Holy Crap, that just scrares the Hell out of me. Which in turn gets me all freaked out and nervous. My latest round of blood work found my liver enzymes climbing higher, so I scheduled an appointment with my primary care doctor tomorrow (Monday) morning to talk about what this may mean and how we need to address this situation. I also want to talk to her about whether or not I need to schedule a colonoscopy as my gastro doctor had told me after last year's colonoscopy in December that I really needed to have one every year from now on. Unfortunately, my health insurance won't pay for but one colonoscopy every eight years, so I'm trying to determine if I can go another year before scheduling that colonoscopy. I just want to get a good feel at my odds and where I currently find myself health wise.

I've got several projects I'm tackling today and I'm also supposed to go and visit an elderly family friend sometime today. I need to do a bit more grocery shopping, staying within the financial budget for the week. I'm trying to plot and plan my meals and food consumption more closely for the week...thus, maybe cutting those impromptu trips to the grocery store during the work week.

I've got to tackle cleaning out some closets and start getting rid of some of the "stuff" that I've accumulated in the past 5 years. I keep thinking of how much stuff my mom and dad had and how me and my siblings were left to dispose of all of their stuff and I feel a panic coming on with regard to declaring myself a horder. I have to come to terms with letting go of clothes, shoes and overall stuff I don't need or use any more. What a psychological nightmare!!! But I've got to do it. I've got to deal with the fact that I can't take any of this stuff with me when I die and what good is something if I don't use it or wear it any more????? It is simply gathering dust and taking up space!!!!

I want to clutter free my house and all the spaces so I've got to address these issues and deal with them.

The temperature outside is an incredible 60 degrees. Perfect for doing outside work but I really have to tackle some of the stuff inside today. Amazing how much I can get going in my head when I'm left to my own devices!!!!

Why am I spinning and whirling over all these issues? Because my life is fixing to take another big turn and I'll be sharing my house with not only the man that I call my significant other but his mother will be moving in with us by the end of November.

I have to make room for this elderly woman and what things she will be bringing with her from Oregon. I don't have a problem taking her in, I just have to get rid of some of my stuff and make room for her.

This will also put a crimp in some of my naughty, nasty doings, but I've about got that all figured out. My friend has family in other parts of Oklahoma and we've tackled this issue when his mother has been visiting before...so, I really don't think that will be an issue. It doesn't really matter because she needs to be here with us and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I need to get busy and tackle another load of laundry. I will continue to think on all I have before me and how I'm going to handle it all. It really doesn't seem to be all that crazy or unnerving when I start thinking of all the folks where Hurricane Sandy came ashore and all that they are dealing with.

Have a great Sunday and a great work week ahead!!!
