Month: September 2026

No One Said it’d be Easy

I tried finding an old post that I could repost that I could put a song in. Sheryl Crow. no one said it would be easy is completely in my head and I wanted to share it again, but because this weird AI stuff on my blog, I can’t! But just know that is playing in my head right now!!! Hopefully, I will find the post tomorrow because the song was still be there.

Kind of Stinks

I called Bluehost today and I’m kind of out of luck for the short term so I think I will be posting grammatically incorrect posts for the short term. I have said all along that AI is going to be the death of us and at least it’s messing with my blog. That and my eyes are going anyway so it’s not easy. This kind of stinks.

Hint of a Scrape

I was supposed to call Bluehost today, but I forgot. I am having such a difficult time reading anything! Hopefully, I can get all this Meta stuff off of my blog tomorrow. I felt a hint of a scrap today for my Pomegranate bag-o-chapstick and then I can use the regular tube I have before I begin Pumpkin Spice on October 1.

I will Allow it OR Not Too Much!

today, I tried the maple cream soft chew. I dug it. I was nervous. It was going to taste like syrup or that crazy overpowering Yankee Candle Company smell that I hate! I hated it growing up, for sure!

But, I will allow it. It tasted more Autumn than the green apple and even the pumpkin spice. I only had five today. I had three maple, one apple, and one pumpkin spice. They all have really cute pictures on each of them! I didn’t notice that before. I think this definitely will be something that’s going to make an annual appearance because I have already been weighed so I can be a little more relaxed with what I eat. But not too much!

Blog is still wonky. my capitalization errors bother me a whole lot! They have added new commands for AI, which is messing everything up for me.

2 Servings

I did not overheat today. Thankfully! I did, however, I did have two servings of the Pumpkin Spice soft chews but I dug the green apple ones that I had yesterday, but I liked the pumpkin spice so much more! Still having technical difficulties with my blog, but that’s what I did today.

Doozy

I thought I had successfully transitioned to fall weather. But with this little bit of a heat wave, I overheated today. it was definitely a doozy because I was by myself at the house and I just reclined in my chair and listened to Gavin DeGraw. I was in and out of consciousness for a while.

I had the Werther’s Fall flavored green apple caramel today. Actually, I had four of them. They were good!

I’m going to try the Pumpkin Spice tomorrow. I am having difficulty with my blog right now. I think it has to do with my vision. Hopefully, pictures tomorrow.

ANOTHER Executive Decision OR Weird

Yesterday, after I got home from the doctor, I dropped my ‘bag-o-chastick.’ I use a regular tube of the flavor when I leave the house and I use up the bag-o-chapstick until it’s gone when I get home.

Because of this fact, I have made yet another executive decision! I am throwing this tube out on October 1, regardless if I am finished with it or not. Let me ‘Splain ya:

So, it’s wonky now. It feels weird on my lips. I have a movie to watch on October 1 and that is when I change over to Pumpkin Spice chapstick. I’m not going to sit through this weird feeling on my lips anymore after October 1.

Two Birds; One Stone

I went to the doctor today. It was my six month checkup. I got weighed before I saw the doctor.

I lost 10 pounds.

In six months.

That is concerning!!! I haven’t been doing anything differently!

I said that to Dr. Chamas’ nurse and she agreed.

Dr. Chamas came in and we had our polite greetings and then I blurted out, “I lost 10 pounds?! She responded with, “I see that.”

I haven’t been doing anything differently, just existing. She told me that she is not concerned because I still look good and I don’t look sickly. I guess that’s what my problem is. Is that going to happen to me?!

I have been chubby my whole life and so it’s weird that I’m not?! I really don’t know how I feel about that. I don’t think I like it.

This song popped into my head, even though it is completely out of season now that it is Fall:

I never really thought that that would be me, but it’s here now and I’m not sure what to do with it.

My Mom got to go to the doctor as well because we have the same doctor. She went for her annual as I went for my six month check up. We’ll do the same thing next year! Two birds; one stone, I guess?

Savannah, Dr. Chamas’s nurse, is pregnant. She is due in January. She is having a little girl and they are naming her Sophia. I was so excited to tell her that the next time I see her, I get to hear about her baby! I told her that I never had a girl baby! We both congratulated her a bunch!

The Outside of my Right Heel

I see my Primary care doctor tomorrow. that’s it for the month of September. I have had my heat on for two days and I think I’m going to wear my winter coat when I leave the house tomorrow.

Last night, I was completely reminded how much neuropathy sucks! It seriously ain’t no joke. Yesterday, when my Mom put my shoes on to get ready to go to bed, it hurt the outside of my right heel. When I was laying in bed to go to sleep, it was NOT any better!

When I am in the house, and not leaving, I do not wear shoes anymore when I sit in my chair. My mom rigs my legs so my heels are not touching anything. Ever since the pressure sores of ‘22, from April to November. That was rough! It looked really rough, but I can tell you that I don’t think I felt it as much as it hurt for real. Thank God!!!

I ended up going to the emergency room and they thought that I had Mersa. I thought for sure that I would be admitted, but I was wearing my compression socks and when my Mom pulled my socks off before the doctor came in, the scabs came off, so my sore looked okay. The doctor wanted to give my Mom an honorary wound care award, but she just wanted my sores gone like I did. I think I went to the ER in July and they weren’t gone until November.

I’m lucky that they have since healed and it does not look like anything happened to my feet but I have to keep my heels raised because if they rest on anything, my heels hurt. It was especially difficult when my wheelchair was broken last July? because I had to wear my shoes all day long! My mom was very concerned, but I told her that my heels are stressed, but they’re not going to turn into sores again.

It just really stinks that this neuropathy is killing my feet and there is nothing I can do about it. My Mom covers my feet at night with a blanket because they get cold. I told her about how my feet felt last night and she wondered what she could do. I told her that she can’t do anything and it just sucks to suck! I eventually got to sleep. I wonder what will be like tonight?

I’m so excited for the fall weather, but I’m not sure that my body can handle it anymore. That stinks because it’s only September and cold is a thing now. I remember I told Sarah that it felt like my feet were dipped into ice cold water up to my shins one night in the summer. I wonder what it’s going to be like in the fall and the winter?! I’m sure the outside of my right heel is not going to feel very good.
