So I Begin Another 30 Days of Blogging

 September 1, 2021 

Blogging with Effy Wilde begins another month of blogging on her Artfully Wild Blog Along group on Facebook.   

I am excited to encourage myself to blog again for 30 days.  Effy Wilde opens her blogging page up at least once a year, sometimes more.  The last time was the month of April 2021 and I so enjoyed posting, reading other blogs and replying.  

Most of the other bloggers are showing their artwork and I enjoy seeing them.  My blog is random.  I enjoy taking pictures and posting them.  I kept thinking I wanted to sketch and practice learning how to use Procreate on my iPad but so far I haven't done a thing with the program.  I'm not going to try and figure out why or beat myself up.   It is what it is for now.   

I've been trying to work out a lot of sadness, not fear about the Delta virus and it has been so hard.  I got fully vaccinated last April and was feeling a little safer and more hopeful that my husband and I could go out more safely but then  - - - so much has not happened since then --- do I really want to get into this on my blog?  Not right now.  Maybe not at all.  I don't know right now.  

So here I am again blogging again and hopefully it will be fun.  I know it will be challenging.

Until my next post happy reading, happy blogging.

Thank you for reading. 

Hodgepodge - Day 29

 Only one day left with blogging with Effy.  Gosh April went flying fast.  When I saw her invitation to join the blog-a-long it was already April 2.  But I caught up and now we're almost at the end.  That doesn't mean we have to quit blogging though and she is going to do another one in the fall.   Yay. Thank you Effy Wild.

I need a cook top and because of Covid the store I was going to get it from couldn't even order it until the middle of June.  Last night before shutting the computer down I saw an ad for a cooktop from another store and it said it would be delivered and installed around May 8 2021. I was so excited and put it in the cart.  But I didn't finish the order.  Hubby decided to call this morning and some customer support person in Pa that we could hardly understand said yes we could get it by that date.  Then we got disconnected. So he called again and this time we were told that it was back ordered and wouldn't be here until the middle of June.   I'm shaking my head like was this ad a come on?  I don't feel they were going to be able to deliver the cooktop in May at all.  Maybe, but it was such a disappointment.   We have maybe one burner that might work.  I bought one of those hot plates to use.  I have my instant pot, portable oven and microwave. But I was so excited last night thinking I could cook again on all four burners.  

After a few tears I got over it and am thankful for having gotten our vaccinations and so much more.  I could do a gratitude list but I've got one going on in my brain.

Please make it easy - Day 20

 Since getting fully vaccinated and waiting two weeks, we've cautiously ventured out.  Even though it's nice to know that we are more protected now than before, I still want to be careful.  Now we have some catching up to do.  Dentist appointments, Doctor visits, Eye Doctors and more.  I felt a bit overwhelmed and anxious thinking about it all.  Plus I have had agoraphobia and going outside my comfort zone has been problematic at times. 

I am very much into talking with my angels, pulling angel cards, doing angel readings for others. I've taken some really amazing classes with Radleigh Valentine that were so helpful. So I asked my angels and spirit buddies to help make all this easier.  

Sunday night before going to bed I decided to write a list of things I wanted to get done on Monday.

1) Write my blog

2) Pay bills

3) See if I could renew our driver's license online

4) Renew prescriptions

5) Go to Lowe's

6) See what it takes to make some changes with our insurance plan.

I managed to do everything on the list in the morning except Lowes.  But after lunch I got a 2nd surge of energy, so we went to Lowes to see about ordering a new slide in stove top.  I felt a little anxious when we left but kept thinking about my angel crew helping me and doing some mental tapping.   Would you believe they can't even order one until the middle of June? I had to laugh because that was easy.  I mean we didn't have to stand around waiting for paperwork and all that.  We have one burner that will work sometimes.  I also bought a single burner hot plate and may order another. 

On the way home we stopped at the grocery store and picked up some fried chicken and a rotisserie chicken. That was a nice treat and will make meals easier. 

I emailed my brother to see if he could come over and help me get my printer working again.  He's my computer guy and if it wasn't for him I'm not at all sure I'd be online. 

This morning he came over and again I asked my Angel group to help make this printer work again and to make it easier.  Archangel Michael is the angel to call to help fix things including electronics. 

 

Now my printer is working again. 

I have a dental appointment tomorrow afternoon and instead of just calling in one angel I am going to take them all with me and hopefully that will be easy too.

So if you have something that's difficult or makes you anxious just call on your angels for help.  You probably won't hear a voice from the clouds but you could get some new thoughts or see a feather, some coins or you will be nudged to look at your clock or watch and see 3:33, 11:11 or other special numbers.  There are so many ways our angels can help us and again 



I am blogging every day in April with a fantastic, loving, creative group of bloggers.  I hope we continue with this blog-a-thong.

Blogging With Effy in April Day 1

 Ok so I'm a day late but it's better than as late as I started the last time - when was that, two years ago?  I was hoping Effy would start her Artfully Wild Blog Along and she did! Thank you.  For some reason this blog challenge inspires me to blog more.  Will I blog all month?  

I am so glad it isn't this day a year ago.  I was alternating between liking to stay home and being terrified about the pandemic.  I hadn't decided about having food delivered yet, we were still going grocery shopping very early on Sr. Citizens day. That meant 7am.  I am not a morning person, especially not shopping but we had to eat.  The empty shelves were shocking.  I had a grocery list but had to revise what we were buying due to many foods being unavailable. I hope I never have to go through that again.  

One thing I learned from all this is how much easier it is to shop for groceries online and have them delivered.  So even though I had my 2nd vaccination on Tuesday and April 13th I will be considered fully vaccinated, I am looking forward to going places a bit more safely now, I intend to continue having the main groceries delivered.
