It Was A Long Week, IMO

 Good Monday day... it is late morning and almost the afternoon here... strange how time sometimes feel non-existent, right? I think there was a scientist who proved that... not sure.

Enough of that... let's talk about what happened in the past week and today... well, I chose today (Monday) because I don't really do anything today... nothing that's important so it's a good chance to do my blog, right?

Tuesday was the first day of December... man... 2020 seemed to wanted to drag on... and so... I've started some challenges... those challenges were... photo of book challenge and a writing challenge... as well as an added bonus of using a website called drawspace. ( https://www.drawspace.com/ ). It basically teaches you to draw... you have a few free options and you guessed it... I am using the free option because I am dirt poor xD Might I add, mom fell hard this day... and well... she's alright but that's a long story.

Wednesday was a long day since my mom had to go to the doctor. Not because she fell but because she needed to refill her anxiety medication... for those that don't know... my mom suffers from panic attacks... they rarely happen but she does have a nerve problem that causes her to shake... so taking this medication keeps her from getting any worse. But I am glad this day was over with...

Thursday was finally a day that I was glad to take a break... I did search for a topic to talk about... so keep going to after I finish the next two days to see what I will talk about.

Friday, we went to Walmart to get our personal shopping done... what I mean by personal... it means that we needed to essentials for our daily living... whether it's toothpaste to vitamins... just stuff that you need for a healthy lifestyle. Gotta keep trying to take care of ourselves.

Saturday, we decided to watch the local Christmas parade... unfortunately... I didn't take any photos for this because it was very short and had mostly... firetrucks... believe me... you wouldn't like it.

Sunday, we mostly had a lazy day... we took a drive down to Mullins Station Road... a road that is where my dad works... but we just went to the coal yard and I tried my phone out for that... and well... you just have to check out my Instagram for those photos...

Now before I go into the topic... I am going to ask people if I should make a special page for this page... but I think I'll wait xD Alright... let's get to the topic in hand.

My topic is... NY Times 1,000(+) writing prompts... for those that don't know, I love to write...

You can view the page here:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/12/learning/over-1000-writing-prompts-for-students.html

So... instead of doing all of the prompts, I might try to do one of them for this post...

What Challenges Have You Overcome?

Let's think about this... I guess I could say... grief, health scares and depressing scares. Let's talk about each one... grief is a big one here... for those that don't know... I lost three family members to cancer... My grandpa had melanoma in his eye... and it spread to all over his body... but that's not what really killed him... he died from his bowels busted due to a colonoscopy test. That is scary to think about but it does happen very rarely. My aunt passed away from cancer that had spread all over her body. It wasn't long after she was diagnosed that she had passed. My grandma had cancer of the mouth... she suffered the most, but when she passed, I was sad but glad that she no longer had to suffer. Grief was different for these family members... I cried at most of them... Health scares is something that you have to deal with all your life... if you are not healthy like me and my mom... I had cancer on my thyroid and was lucky... since it was only stage one and didn't spread. My mom, however, has all kinds of problems... mostly she does have the tendency of falling easily. Last year, she had hurt her hip and broke her pelvic bone. She was lucky to not have any surgery but she did had a long month of recovery. Depressing scares... I wanted to say I was depressed for most of my young adult life... which I was... but after my aunt's death... I sort of snapped out of it... and rose to get away from that mood in one way or another. So... I had realized that you can get stronger... no matter what comes at you. A challenge just means something to face towards a good recovery.

And Another News...

I will keep my blog as is by weekly basis. I am going to start using bold for the days of week starting next Monday... and the topic will have a line go across to let you know that I am talking about something else. That way you all won't be too confused. Now I won't do these random topics every week... since there are some that I won't do xD

Alright, shall see you all next week.

That's all.

With love,
