Bad Blogger
Oh yes I'm bad at blogging. I hate continually repeating things but I see that this will be my first entry for 2013. Yikes!
Since April I have been working 20 hours a week which is enough to support myself financially. No more unemployment. Getting the hours has been a significant struggle during the summer and I am hoping it gets better now.
I have made it through the horribly hot summer. I had repairs done to my house. The significant ones were adding a ceiling fan/light to the livingroom, a new front door that looks just like the other but doesn't have gaps around it, safety bars to hold onto in the tub and a new kitchen faucet. Other things, too, but these I needed. Well, ok, I needed the railings out front because there are a lot of stairs.
On October 10th I fly to New Hampshire to spend 7 days with my family. I need that desperately. I miss them so much!
I've been blessed with wonderful employers to do a job I love from the home that I love.
For almost a month now I have been suffering with a left knee and surrounding area that hurts like crazy. I limp. I have no health insurance or money to afford a doctor so I use the only thing I know that can work - prayer.
It is getting dark earlier now. This makes me happy because I know that winter is coming. Not only will it be cooler but I am still here where I want to be. If the leg is doing alright I will decorate as much for Christmas this year as I did last and that was a lot.
This coming Thursday my dad will have been gone from us for 15 years. Maybe I should say "gone from this earth" because he really is always with us. Memories. I miss him terribly.
I talk to my mother at least once a day. That helps me handle being lonely. She is my biggest emotional supporter.
I will see Ally, Matt and Sean while I'm back east and I'm looking forward to that a lot. Also my college friends who I miss.
I don't sleep well but that is a combination of planning ahead and too much in my mind. I know whatever happens to me, wherever I end up, the destination isn't really of my planning. God's got things planned. I just hope I'm smart enough to follow and trust.
I have had struggles this year with my vision. My eye doctor has been kind and generous and allows me to get the treatment I need even though I have no insurance. I am still paying off the 2011 work. So that's another blessing from heaven.
As summer fades into fall, fall means a trip to see family. When I return it will be very close to being winter and I will like that. Cooler weather. The ability to fill my time with crafting and not worrying about roasting because of the yarn.
Hopefully I will get back here again, maybe after vacation with pictures.
Life goes on. Not always how we'd like but it goes on. I am not as well off financially as I'd like but I have so many other blessings that I'm not worried. And I'm a lot happier than I was before I was laid off in June, 2011. Much happier!
