October Chill

 Just looked out the window and realized it's quietly raining. I hope we get to go back to normal Washington weather. Fall and Winters full of rainy days, with little to no snow here on the west side. Moderate temperatures, not too cold. Summer was a bit more like the good old days, hoping we get lucky. I really don't like the super cold and a lot of snow. I liked it better when we had to take the kids to the mountains to find snow to play it. It would be a great snow day then back home to the warmer rainy weather. 

So grateful to be where I am this year. Been working hard to keep it and get ahead. PTSD and overwhelming Anxiety issues have presented a few challenges along the way. My ability to work a normal 9-5 job went out the window years ago. I've finally found a way to work around my limitations, and still work. Sadly, now the physical body is starting to wear out. Makes it a bit more difficult on a daily basis. But we are still getting it done. Last night was another painful episode with my stomach. Very tired today. I think I kept Chanelle and Sylvester awake too. 

I love doing the inspections and merchandising for companies. I get to go places I wouldn't normally travel. Now living up north, I'm actually closer to most of my assignments, making it more profitable by using less gas to get around. Forever grateful to my BFF Debbie and the car. I absolutely love the car. I'm hoping to get a few repairs done and new parts put on in the next couple of months. She'll look good as new when we are done.

I miss the kids, and don't hardly get to see anyone anymore. I have 2 that keep in touch and 2 that I will never understand. I pray for them daily. My grandkids are all growing up so fast and getting so big. Even the great grandkids are starting to be in school all day. Life happens pretty fast when you're not looking. 

One more job then I'm done for today. Homemade chicken soup and dumplings for dinner. I finally got a couple cookie sheets so I can bake again. I miss my homemade cookies and snacks. Still looking for that houseplant Tradescantia Spathacea. Found it on Amazon, but I'm not too sure about plants in the mail? I will let you know if I decide to order it how well it arrives. {alive or dead}. 

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

Tinnitus

There is actually a word for it. Have you ever heard of it before now? 

It's only been in the last few months that I hear it constantly; it's one of the reasons I need some kind of noise like a movie going on to go to sleep. If it's quiet, the buzzing is louder. I don't like loud noises, because it hurts my ears. Considering I have this constant sound going on, it's hard to find peace and a happy medium. I know I'm not the only one with this condition, according to articles I've researched, there are millions that suffer from it. It does make it hard to rest. Hard to hear things, especially voices.  

Is this something you suffer from as well? What do you do for peace? 

Tinnitus is a condition characterized by the perception of noise, such as ringing or buzzing, in one or both ears without an external sound source. It can be a symptom of various underlying conditions, and while there is currently no cure, there are management strategies available to help cope with its effects. Common causes include exposure to loud noises, ear infections, and age-related hearing loss. If you experience persistent tinnitus, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management options.

Tinnitus: What Causes Ear Ringing and How to Treat it

Tinnitus is when you have noise present in your ears that others don’t hear. About 26 million adults in the United States have tinnitus, says Joy Onozuka, director of community engagement and communications at the American Tinnitus Association. For some, the effects of tinnitus are minor but for about 20 percent of those who have tinnitus, constant ringing in the ears can distract their sleep and concentration, and cause anxiety and depression.

It's enough to drive you crazy!
