Ups and Downs.

Hello all you amazing affiliates out there!!!

Today has been an emotional roller coaster for me. I was unable to sleep last night and I didn't even lie down until 5:00 a.m. this morning. I hate when I cannot sleep at all. If I can at least get my usual 3-4 hours, I have a much better day. I woke with a start and wasn't sure where I was!! I'm assuming that the dream that I was having at the same time my dog began to bark and woke me up, had a lot to do with that feeling. I'm glad that he woke me because the dream was not a particularly pleasing one. Another inclination of not being able to sleep.

Anyway, I was delighted when I saw that my rank had increased by three positions....yaaay!!!! I was truly expecting it to drop as I kinda took the day off yesterday. I had others things to take care of and it was a quiet day for me. I was excited to see that Irma was taking an even deeper turn to the northwest, only to learn later in the day she had made another turn to the northeast. That gave me cause to begin to worry again. And my dog was not himself either.

He wanted nothing to do with food. He wouldn't eat bacon, livermush, not even cheese! Not that I had all those things for brunch, I just offered them to him. I think that he is not feeling so well today. This has me worried a bit, another 'down' for me. He is 12, and that is getting up there for a dog. Thanks to CBD oil, he is moving and grooving much better than he did once before. The Vet didn't seem to think that it was a bad idea. Considering that at one time he could barely walk and he was screaming like a human with pain. That was the most horrible sound, and there was nothing that I could do to help him. It turned out that he had a pinched nerve in his lower back and CBD oil was and is the only thing that gives him relief. He is running and playing with the other dogs again. I think too that the low pressure that is preceding Irma is working on his back as well. So, he has had a down day and if he is not feeling well, that plays with my emotions . He can't tell me what is wrong and I feel totally inadequate to give him comfort. But I digress..........

My day proceeded with the normal everyday things, except for a feeling of foreboding. I just felt really uneasy about something for most of the day. I called to check on my son and granddaughter, and they were just fine. No one was sick that I knew of, and then it finally hit me. This is going to be the first major life event that I will be facing without my Dad. The last time that a major hurricane hit us was 1989. That was HUGO (HurryUpGetOut). Being that I live on the line of being both northerly and southerly, I'm accustomed to a mild weather pattern, until recently. It seems like the weather pattern for the area has changed like the times. Again I digress......

It was on to making mental checklist in my head of the things that I had to finish up tomorrow to be ready for Irma if we were in fact impacted by her fury. That kind of brought me down a little. I can do a lot of things, but there are things that I can't do alone. Some things are just men things. Yep, I said it. Sometimes you need a man around for the bigger things. So I decided that I would call one of my friends tomorrow to help me out with a few of the things that I just can't do alone. This brought me down again. If my dad were still around, I wouldn't have to be worrying with all this. He would already have seen to everything. Here I am missing Daddy so much again.

It was time to fire up the computer and get back to WA. This is always a stress reliever for me. I just love it so much, I can hardly stay away from my laptop. That sounds a little crazy, but it is true. I decided to check Jaaxy to see what my site rank was, and I got a really big pleasant surprise!!! Or so I thought. I was 'told' that it was Page1, Position 1 in Google. My mouth fell open in disbelief!!! Could it be true?! Was it possible!?!? Was I crazy?!?! So I decided to ask about it. To my dismay, it was probably not as great as I thought it was. It seems that my keyword is all wrong and I have no traffic. But hey, at least Google knows that I am there. Still, it was another downer. Not very good for my day. I decided to go on to the things that I could change. To work on my website. That actually went very well and my day was looking up.

You know, I was just thinking, I am sitting here doing my 'woe is me' thing and I actually have it pretty good. There are people in Texas, the Caribbean, Cuba, all over Florida and on up the east and west coast that have lost everything. They have had to leave their homes and the lives that they had become accustomed to, not knowing what they may or may not have left when they return. They left loved one's behind to relocate to places that they are strangers to, places that they may be forced to live in for the rest of their lives. Yeah, I got it pretty good. I may be facing a major event in my life, but I know that it won't be as bad for me as it has been for many others.

So I will take my little story and put it to bed. And I will ask all of you to look around and realize that if we look long enough and hard enough we can always find someone else who has troubles more than we. Just say a prayer tonight for all those who have lost and those who will lose before this storm system is over and has moved away. Be thankful for what you have and be prayerful for others.

Thanks for your time. I feel much better now.

As always, any and all comments, opinions, and likes or dislikes are welcome.

I have found that my outcome is better when I don't look for who has it worse than me or who I have it better than. Now I look at who has the strength to endure what they need to make it to what we want. Eliminate the the positive (yes the positive) and the negative, I always seem to have more in the tank to tackle even bigger tasks reaping bigger rewards, both mentally and physically. Just as I deal with my chronic pain, I try to never look at "oh I felt better or I feel worse cause its raining" I just try to focus on the now and try to achieve my tasks at hand. It's almost like not wasting the energy on worrying about something that you have no control over allows you to use that energy when you need it most. It's like Jose now, no use to worry about it as no matter what you do, Jose will either come or not come regardless of what you do but, if you just plan for the worse and enjoy whats available, you truly will have more energy and a better outlook overall.
I'm really glad that wench Irma passed you by and I totally feel for your furry friend. With my damaged back, it's the high-pressure systems that bother me.
Overall, I think you are doing an amazing job negotiating the highs and lows so less digress more yee-hawing!!!

Ahhh, another chronic pain sufferer. Is it not the pitts!?!?!

Yes, now that I have dodged the Irma bullet, it's back to the daily churn of things.

I will definitely take your words to heart and start yee-hawing much more!!!!

Cheers!!!

Hi Tammi, thoughts with you and fingers crossed that Irma decides to pack her bags sooner rather than later. I know it is tough going through 'firsts' without someone you miss so much, but good memories can be a blessing. Just know that it is a pleasure to have you here at WA! Keep smiling, Sue

I'm not going to say this too loudly, but, IRMA IS NOT GOING TO AFFECT US AS ONCE WAS BELIEVED!!! Think that she heard me???

I realize that I am probably being a baby about this whole thing, but HUGO was a disaster, and I have worked in enough volunteer programs to know the kind of destructiion that a hurricane of this uncharted magnitude could be. It's scary!! And I do miss Daddy so much! He would have all the answers, and I, on the other hand, have all the questions. But I am smiling, and it will all be okay!!

I love the friends that I have here at WA. I know that you have my back. It means a lot!!! Thanks!!!

Stay safe and will be praying for your safety. By the way what exactly is CBD oil?

Great to see you adjusting to the random meanderings of the storm Tammi. I pray you will be safe until it finally dissipates!

Thanks Mike, I don't believe that we will be getting the brunt of her fury as we once thought!! Shewww, thankfully we dodged that bullet!!! I can breathe again!!!!

Thank you Tammi... we all need a dose of reality reminding us that things could be worse. Good luck on getting a good nights sleep. Jay

Thanks Jay, I going to try to get some sleep tonight.

Rest well as you are in a strange place.

Be safe and take care.

Talk to you soon...

I wish we had a LOVE IT button! So heart-warming. You must go into writing for a career-the way you can tell your stories. I'm speechless!

Have a blessed night. Be safe.

It was good for your spirit to share with us, Tammi :)

Yes it was!! Not such a great post, but good for my soul...T

Great post T!

We don't realize how our lives can be a blessing to someone that is living in Hell.

When we appreciate what's good in our lives we can deal with what's wrong with a much stronger approach!

Kudos,

Thank you Shannon. I feel like this is one of my weaker posts. Just couldn't get it to come together. But thanks for your kind words, I feel better about it now!!

I believe they call that Murphys Law!

When we love it they usually hate it!

When we hate it they usually love it!

Throw it to the wall and something is bound to stick!

I hear you!! I like your attitude!! It's so refreshing!!

Thanks for sharing, Tammi.
