I am a writer and podcaster chronicling the raw journey of surrendered faith amid the daily grit of caregiving. I explore how obedience in the small things uncovers the vastness of God's Kingdom, one honest word at a time. Β«Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.Β» Romans 12:2 ESV

I had intentions to go hang out in Global for a little bit today. But I can't remember why I wanted to hang out there?! So instead, going to rake some leaves and work on sprinkler system water pump/tank thingy. #RandomThoughts

Dogs just traumatized a mailman. Don't think this one will be buying life insurance from me. They waited until he got close then sprung out on some shock and awe isht. Kinda funny, but not....well heck it was funny. No need to lie. πŸ˜²πŸ˜€πŸ€£πŸ˜†

When it's my time to go, if it's not accidentally a fast and short episode, it would be an intentionally fast and short episode. My family knows this is what I want. When that day comes as it does for all of us. #RandomThoughts

#Nostr fam, around 10am (earlier today), As I was following the ambo back to ER for the umpteenth time in the last 7 days, I was thinking....worse week I've had since I can remember. But here we are end of the week and I have much to be thankful for. So not my best week, but WE all made it. So Pat yourself on the back....I'm patting myself on the back. πŸ€œπŸΎπŸ€›πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ’œπŸ«‚βœŒπŸΎ

For the last 4 years I've asked myself why I continue to pay an A m ex annual fee. Well, these last 3 weeks have helped me answer that question. They were actually more convenient, helpful and resourceful then our office pa. #RandomThoughts

#Nostr fam, happy to report mom is home. The speech situation is a bit limited. But, we have physical and speech therapists, and nurse scheduled for the home starting tomorrow. So all good in the hood for the night. Maybe We'll all get some sleep tonight. #GratefulSon

Going through all of my mom's Internet passwords and updating them. SMH If you have aging parents, do them (and you) the favor and quizz them on a good process for pw construction. Assuming a 3rd party authenticator or PW manager might be too complex for them. If it's not too complex in your case, teach them how to use a pe manager or 3rd party auth app. #RandomThoughts

If you are a nurse....THANK YOU! you're all an amazing bunch of human beings. I hope someone tells you this not only just at home but every day at work too. The ones at our hospital here are all top notch πŸ™πŸΎ. #RandomThoughts #InCaseYouDidntKnow

Someone just walked up to me and pointed to another dog and whispered...."that dog over there is a racist". I think he was serious. πŸ˜†πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜† I kept it moving. The beauty of headphones. You can instantly fake a phone call and with minimal sign language tell a person to go away without having to use your voice. #RandomMindRumblings

The first and last time I personally witnessed an ultrasound, I was waiting for mini me to check into the world for the first time. And today I experienced it for a second time as my mom prepares to check out of this world. I'm about as prepared as I can be for that eventuality. What I'm not ready for is everyone else. She just had another stroke so they are moving her from ER to ICU to more closely monitor the blockages. Every stroke episode = more brain damage. #Wooooosah

My mom had a stroke last night. She's in ER. There is some brain damage. Don't know the extent of it yet. I am posting this here, bc I havent shared the news with anyone yet. My sisters and I feel best to manage the situation amongst ourselves for now before looping in the whole family. So this is my outlet. Thanks for endukging and lending me your ears #Nostr fam.

Good morning #Nostr fam. Sometimes it's best to keep your thoughts to yourself. I need to do better at recognizing those situations. If it's not helpful to anyone other than your ego, it probably doesn't need to said. #RandomThoughts

Joy: surprise visitors for mom from some folks she hasn't seen in 2 + decades. It's really cute to witness. They're like high school girls. #RandomThoughts

If you are dealing with aging parents that have dimentia or Alzheimer's, that speak multiple languages, converse with them in there first language and you'll find much more meaning while engaging with them. Their first language is a lot less confusing to them. #RandomThoughts

"Yes, your choice of passwords says a lot about you. Thats why we use password generators." I just watched a 17 yo explain that to her 45 yo dad. And I could tell by the expression on his face, he did not know this. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ€£

My 2 sisters and I can witness a specific situation together, at the same time. We would reconvene and debrief after the situation has concluded. And the three of us would observe and make note of entirely different things. Just about a 100% of the time all our reads were correct. But we were all blind to two other truths. This is why it's important to chop it up with those 2 OFTEN!
