I started reading this book this past Friday evening and finished it on Saturday. I simply cannot believe how talented this writer was. If I am not mistaken, I read she is no longer with us in the WordPress community. The book mentioned she had struggled with breast cancer for 17 years and was taking the hospice & palliative care path. I reviewed this book via Amazon and Goodreads. It’s an amazing collection of gut-punching poetry. Saturday, March 08, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Sunday morning workout. I’m down 15 lbs since November of 2024. And I would like to lose 15 more in the next 4-5 months. Sunday, March 09, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
I am making my own sauces, pickles, toppings, compotes, etc. I diced cucumbers for pickles this time around. The ingredients were one cucumber, fresh chopped garlic, 1/2 serrano pepper, honey, ginger, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, water, and various seasonings. In the Manuka Honey squeezable bottle is the juice from my last canned pickles batch and some olive oil to act as an oil & vinegar sauce for my sandwiches/subs. Sunday, March 09, 2025.

Lentils! If you’ve been following me for a hot minute, you know I love lentils. I actually rinsed this batch that was remaining in a bag and pre-seasoned them as well. I put a little apple cider vinegar and water in with them and placed the jar back in the cabinet. I can’t wait to have lentil soup in the next two weeks or so! Sunday, March 09, 2025.

Life is such a precious thing. Every time I think about every day I am given, I am thankful. I mentioned to the crush today that when Jernee finally does pass away, I will be completely and utterly alone. Her response to me was, “Let’s not dwell on that today, please.” I was simply stating a fact – albeit, random as it was, a fact, nonetheless. She didn’t want me to break down or shut down, and I get that. I do. Jernee’s vet visit is this coming Thursday, and we will see what’s what.
The weather has been a bit topsy-turvy since the time change, and I am dealing with some rather mischievous allergies. My left eye is red and swollen, so I guess I’ll be wearing my glasses for the next few days and not my scleral eye contacts. Spring is just around the corner, so I see it’s doling out its gifts early. *Sighs*
Here’s hoping the week ahead will be a fantastic one for all of you. Stay safe. Stay sane. Stay present!
Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-BookandPaperback) yet?
Thank you kindly! I am a bit better today and my face and eye are no longer swollen! It’s the little things. Jernee has had a great day so far today, and I’ll take it! 🙏🏽💙
Look at you, looking good and congrats on your commitment! You do it all…. Seriously, making your own sauces would do me in. Love that! The book sounds amazing! I wonder what happened to her! And you had to read it before mine did you! lol
😂
Awww sweet Jernee and your convo… happy she hasn’t had any more seizures!!!
Love to you and so happy you are in such a great space.
💓
Haha. Honey, this whole building is so astounding to me. I have to pinch myself sometimes to remind myself that I really do live here. Lol. The amenities are incredible. Lol!
Sarah Connor was a very talented and brave lady from what little I have read. She last posted on 17th December 2024, just 10 days before she died. What a lot she packed into her life!
I am so happy this is the case. I hope there will not be anymore. She is, however, beginning to lose her balance every now and again. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. My poor baby is just deteriorating; getting old ain’t for the weak. 😫😩🥺
Aww Tre 😪😪 I know, its heartbreaking watch the deterioration.
Getting old is nothing to look forward to, unless your physical health is okay , even then🙄
I worked in a care home for the elderly .
Enjoy the time you have with her now.
Hugs 🙏
Congrats on your commitment to staying healthy trE! 💪🏼 Sadden to hear about author Sarah Connor. Sounds like she was a wonderful and courageous person.
I think Jernee is trying to stay strong for you. It’s interesting how animals can feel your spirit, even when you say nothing. Enjoy her present “presence” regardless of how much time may be left for the both of you. Much love and courage my friend. 🥰🙏🏼😊
Hang in there trE. This is such a tough reality to face, but as you noted, in time you will be okay. God wouldn’t bring you to it, if He wasn’t going to help you through it sis! Stay encouraged. 🤗🙏🏼😊
I hope you are feeling better soon. And its so good that Jernee hasn’t had more fits. I hope her vets visit goes,well. Take good care of yourselves.

I wish I’d known about her writing sooner. She really was a powerhouse judging by the poems in “Always Fire.” A POWERHOUSE! *Sighs*

Thank you, Kym. I really need Jernee to do what’s best for her. I love her to pieces, but if she needs to leave, I need her to let go.
I’ll be okay in time. It’ll break me all the way down, but I’ll have to learn to live without her. 🙏🏾🩵
