Starting to write book about my life experiences

Afternoon, everyone ! Hope you all are doing well.

Just wanted to let you all know, that I am in the process of starting to write a book about my life experiences. I may even include my experiences, up into the part where my life entered into the Alabama mental health system. My grammar may be off, but I still plan on writing it.

I think a lot of my manic depressive issues started at a young age. Being around people who would bully, intimidate, and manipulate me. I have so many random built up thoughts and flashbacks about it. I have nightmares about it. I don’t wake up screaming, thank God, but they are still nightmares to me.

Other then the above, I am doing some better, after my sinus infection. Still a little sniffles, otherwise, I am well.

I am planning on going with my friend, Jack, to Birmingham tomorrow. Got a fun day planned.

Blessings, Love, and Light !

Start to Sunday evening !

Allergies, antibiotics, cold, dental, physicians, sinus

Good Sunday evening !

I hope you all are well. I am still sick, for a week now. Sinus cold, just won’t go away. And I am still taking the antibiotics that my doctor gave me. Still nothing.

I go to the dental surgeon tomorrow. I had a tooth pulled about a month ago. They have to examine my teeth, and where they extracted my tooth, to make sure everything is ok. I can say, when they pulled my tooth, they put me out, and it felt like it was 30 seconds to do it. It was a surprise, to me, that my mouth didn’t hurt after they pulled the tooth.

Well, that is all for now. I will write more later, or maybe tomorrow.

Blessings, Love, and Light !

Sinus infection

Hey, everyone !

I am sorry for not posting on my blog for the past few days. Sunday I came down with a sore throat, that lead to a sinus infection. I took sinus medicine ever since Sunday, and had not helped, so I went to the doctor today. He gave me an antibiotic, and cortisone shot. Hopefully I will be better in the next couple days. We should see.

Other then being sick, things are going pretty good. After I went to the doctor, I was able to spend time with my parents today. Ate some great spaghetti.

Well, that is enough for now. I’ll write more later, or tomorrow.

Blessings, Love, and Light !

Up in the early morning

Hey, everyone !

It is the beginning of an early morning for me. Yesterday, due to the changing weather, I got my first sore throat of the season. The smell of pollen didn’t help, and my allergies kicked in. Luckily, I had some prescription meds for allergies, that was given to me. Helpfully that will help. If not, I got some antibiotics to kick it on out of here. ROFL.

Oh by the way, the picture to the right was taken by me, of the sunset back in March.

Blessings, Love, and Light !

Changes to my blog

Hey, everyone ! Hope you all are having a great evening.

Just wanted to let you all know, that I have changed the graphic, underneath the main title header, at the top of this page. I wanted to add a graphic header that represented a peaceful scene. Hope you all like it better than the previous hallway looking graphic.

I also have added some new links on the menu bar to the left, all the way to the bottom, and underneath the Twitter button. I have also recategorized the link label names. Hopefully this will help you understand specifically what category represents what link.

Well, that is all for right now. I may be back later. If not, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Blessings, Love, and Light !

Each memory, is like writing a chapter.

Good Afternoon, everyone ! It is a beautiful day here. The rain is pushed out. And it is breezy. It’s sad though, today is the last day of the weekend. For some of you, the day is not over yet. Enjoy it while you can.

For me, everyday, is another day to me. I still struggle with having bipolar. My medication is helping me, somewhat, maintain a healthy day. But then there are the times my blood races, my moods swings, ALOT, and I want to leap out of my body. Panic attacks, especially when I am around people. Man ! It takes a lot to just express all those feelings, from just a few sentences. Verbally, I can’t tell people my feelings, but I sure can write about it. I have enough thoughts to write an entire book. Each memory, is like writing a chapter.

I have to stop writing, or I will start panicking again. I have my limits. I am trying to write somethings down, every morning, afternoon, and night. There may be times, that I just needed to write things down right then, while it is fresh in my mind.

Well, I hope you all have a great afternoon !

Blessings, Love, and Light !

Good Sunday Morning !

Good Morning, everyone ! Hope you all sleep well. I did.

I woke up with a scratchy throat. I thought, “oh, no”. A bug has been going around, and I may have it. I felt my head this morning, and it felt warm. My eyes feel watery. After feeling some of the symptoms, I automatically took some medicine for it, along with my daytime mental meds. I am giving the medicine a day to see if it helps. If it does not help, I have some antibiotics that my doctor had given to me. Hope it helps.

I went to see this morning, how many views I’ve had on my blog. I found out, that last October 2011, I had a little over 1,000 views, to the monkey bread recipe that I posted in my “Recipes” section. I’ve never had made this recipe before, but I have tasted monkey bread before, and it is yummy. If you are interested in seeing the recipe, click here. There is even a picture of the monkey bread on there too.

Hey ! I may be back later on later to blog some more. If I feel the urge, as sometimes I do. Crazy me. I always have some racing thought going on in my head. Anyway.

Blessings, Love, and Light !

Hey, everyone !

Just wanted to let you all know, that I saw a comment/link listed under one of my featured recipes. The recipe I had featured, was for “Barbecue Baby Back Ribs“.

So now, in addition to the recipe, I have revised it to include the wood chips tip. You can find links to the recipe, wood chips tip, and the website below. You can also find the links in the “Recipes” section, under the baby back ribs recipe. Hope you all find it useful.

Tv Reporter taking my voice away !

I recently saw a post on a tv reporter’s Facebook page, that was talking about a current news story. There were a few people who commented on the story, then when I went to talk about the story, the reporter said that she deleted my comment, saying that it may offend her viewers. That is bull. She went on saying I was generalizing, and that my comment was not an opinion. I have views, just like everyone else. I have a right to free speech, just like everyone else. What is even worse she is going against my constitutional rights, refusing to let me air my views on her Facebook page. What the nerve to do something like that. I then continued the conversation through private message. I went on to tell her, that she apparently was not aware that all stories might start a debate, which my intentions on her Facebook page was to not start one. She replied that she was fully aware of her responsibilities as a journalist is. She told me about her 7 years of experience as a journalist, and about her many viewers that followed her throughout the years. This has nothing to do with threatening to take away my freedom of speech. She has to be aware that some viewers might feel offended, and I’m sorry if it does, but it is life.

And that is how I see it.

Blessings, Love, and Light !
