Decisions

It's nothing major by any means, but I finally decided what to do with this blog.  Let's face it.  I'm not going to make money with a blog; I'm not a writer.  I re-read my previous posts and realized that I don't know anything to blog about except what's going on in my life and occasionally an opinion I have about something.  Now why was that so hard to figure out?  Because by reading other blogs, I thought maybe no one would read mine.  I have nothing profound to say.  It's more of a journal for me and it doesn't matter if no one reads it.    Sure, it would be nice to have a "following".  In fact, I had hoped to make some new friends here, but if that doesn't happen it's okay.

I think from time to time I will have a giveaway, but I'm not going to drive myself bonkers trying to get followers who only come here for giveaways.  I'd rather people read because they relate to what I may write about.  I'm not eloquent with words, I'm just a simple, down-to-earth person.  I suffer from depression and other ailments and when I'm feeling depressed, hurting or whatever, that's what I will write.  By making this decision, I feel a sort of freedom.  It's because I've never worried about impressing anyone and there's no reason to start now!

Moving on...Hubby has a doctor's appointment shortly for another checkup on the broken arm.  It's healing, but there's a problem with nerve damage which affects his thumb, index and middle finger.  The hand still swells and he still has pain.  The surgeon has referred him to a neurologist to find out what's up with the nerves.  He has an appointment tomorrow for that.  I'm praying no more surgery is necessary.  We have no health insurance and another surgery would just pile on even more medical bills that we don't need.  However, if surgery is necessary, surgery it will be.

Update on the doggie peeing situation:  Giz' diapers have done the trick for him.  The culprit now is Tiffi, so I put her in diapers too.  Being the little prissy dog she is, she's figured out how to wiggle out of her diaper and twice I've caught her going into my dining room to pee.  She'll require a large doggie diaper for her fat little rear.  Just when I'm thinking my grandson will stop wearing diapers and I'll get rid of that expense, I'm having to spend money on doggie diapers.  Go figure.

I have to get dressed now.  If story weather is expected in your area, stay safe and make sure your weather radio has fresh batteries!  If you're going through stormy weather in your personal life, find solace in prayers and The Bible.

Happy Wednesday.
