Something To Think About #10

trE

Have you had your daily dose of “human medicine” today?

This is such an inspirational quote to me. Are you human medicine? Is someone you know and love a form of human medicine to/for you? I saw this quote against a different background on fellow blogger, CreasCreation, OOSGreens blog. It stuck with me and I wanted to share it here, too.

I will share “Something To Think About” for the next six weeks on Sunday afternoons. It may be a quote, a picture, an interesting phrase I heard, artwork, etc. Whatever I share will surely be intriguing or involving enough to spark a casual discussion or in-depth conversation. Stay tuned every Sunday for this feature!

Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?

I recently signed up to write on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak about the most recent events with my place of employment as it pertains to racism and discrimination. I welcome your visit.

NaPoWriMo #27

I ordered some new,
necessary items for
my home and estimated
delivery time was from
5 – 10 PM, Saturday.
I waited and waited and
waited.
I guess I’ve been Amazon’d
again–paid for same-day
delivery–it’ll end up
being next day, instead.
*Sighs*

Hair day! It had been just over three months since my last wash & retwist/retightening. I was so happy to see my loctician and to have Ájá attended to! Saturday, April 13, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
I bought a new keyboard & mouse set for my desktop. The other set was white and clunky-looking, which didn’t match my bedroom colors and decor. I really love this set ten times better! Saturday, April 13, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

Sunday morning workout. Both my left knee and right ankle do not hurt nearly as much as they used to. But, each of them gives me occasional pain. It’s best that I keep braces on them when I workout or go for long walks. Sunday, April 13, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

Another weekend has come and gone, and I am now stuck with Monday. LOL! I guess I will have to make the best of it. Here’s hoping all of you will do the same, too! Enjoy the week ahead as much as you can!

Every weekend is a gift. I am enjoying each one as they’re handed down to me, and I look forward to them now so much more than before. I hope this week will be kind to all of you!

Something To Think About #7

I don’t remember where I saw this quote, but I immediately saved it because it is DEFINITELY something to think about.

I will share “Something To Think About” for the next nine weeks on Sunday afternoons. It may be a quote, a picture, an interesting phrase I heard, artwork, etc. Whatever I share will surely be intriguing or involving enough to spark a casual discussion or in-depth conversation. Stay tuned every Sunday for this feature!

Also, today is Jernee Timid’s 17th birthday! The Little Monster is still here! There is not a day that goes by that I am not in awe of her. She brings me peace. She gives me joy. And to this day, she still makes me laugh. I wouldn’t trade her for anything!

Happy 17th Birthday, Jernee Timid!

Jollyfit 6-In-1 Daily Kidney Function natural supplement for dogs and cats. Jernee has been in Stage 1 kidney failure for about 3 – 4 years now. However, the most recent kidney functions have been slightly more elevated than they have been over the past few years. She still has protein in her urine which she has had even longer, but the vet is concerned that these elevated functions could have sparked the seizure she had several weeks ago. She has had two vet visits total since that seizure and has another one scheduled for April 09, 2025, when the tech will collect urine from her once again for a UPC (Urine Protein Creatinine). If it is elevated again this time around, they want to either change her food (food actually designed for kidney function) or place her on meds. They will do neither. Jernee will be 17 years old the next time she goes to the vet and I will NOT have them medicating her or changing her food. I purchased the natural supplement you see above and have been adding it to her food (which I make myself and have been doing so for the last 3 years) since Saturday evening. This is the route I am taking with my baby. She will not be someone’s money pit because she’s aging. Saturday, March 29, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

The weekends have been a welcome reprieve given the drama and nonsense with which I am currently dealing at work. I now live for the weekends and cannot wait to race home on Friday afternoons. I do not like this feeling and I have not had it since I left my previous job, and it’s all because of one person. But I have prayed about it. I am still praying about it. And I am happy to be able to do what I love for the time being until I have made my move away from this company. Thank God for patience. Here’s hoping everyone has a lovely week ahead! Be safe out there, folks!
