The Struggle is Real

 

for inspiration

I feel like I

I have sinus headaches, dizzy to the point of 8 days of Dramamine to walk with Beau. Yes, my BP is fine, before you ask.

I am hungry all the time, with IBS I can only eat certain foods but am

overeating those foods and also added a few I know are trigger foods.

My brain said, so what? eat that piece of bologna with mayo, pay the price.

I did. Stomach cramps and I have gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks.

I am craving ice cream. It's all I think about. I last had ice cream in January of 2017. Five years and have not craved any of the sugar I gave up.

Your first thought is to say, so eat a bowl and get rid of the craving. I can't. I am addicted to sweets, one bite, just one bite and like any addiction I am lost.

 For me to do a post, my creative part of my brain, likes to embellish by exaggeration, making normal everyday things interesting, exciting, funny.

When that part of my brain is depressed, I resort to puns or avatars or both.

I decided to try to explain how I feel.

I decided to take Sat/Sun off and not post, woke up Sat AM and I had left Beau's Post on autopost.

It's Me Again!

 

Hi, it's

Bob yells down the hall:  where is the left over BBQ?

Sandra: 2nd shelf, round bowl, gray lid!

Bob: Where? I don't see it

Sandra storms down the hall and POINTS to the MIDDLE shelf, ROUND bowl (the onl round bowl we own) GRAY lid..

Same story, different day.

Bob: where is the vaseline?

Sandra: Hall closet, Middle Shelf, in the Basket where your nose drops are!

As I said it I walked to where he was staring at the basket like it would JUMP OUT and handed it to him. 

Just sayin.....

To be fair, not long after I walked in the room where he lives on the sofa, and said

I need a word..

What is that thing you get on your lip that hurts really bad?

his answer was Fever Blister. 

My Words are gone, but I do know where the BBQ is. For Now

PS tomorrow is SEPTEMBER! Wow! how did that happen? 

I am trying to keep myself and you Smilin!!!

Let's Talk or Not

 

(I am struggling to do posts, but I need contact with friends, my heart is so heavy I can hardly type)

If you find this strange, it might get even stranger..

Tell the TRUTH now, Do you do talk or text on the phone while on the throne? 

 Do you think I do?

Yes I do and 

I text all the time and read and comment on blogs. EWWW!

TMI??

Truth now???

Come ON, you KNOW you do.

Avatar Speak!

 

I forgot to put on yesterday post of resting cell phone on your wrist to hold it steady, the one imporant thing. You have to choose the option of a floating shutter button, so you can move it where you can reach it... using the cell and the shutter button is awkward.

My Personal Emojis

If you think it is strange that a woman that is over 3/4 of a century old, is playing with these things, I can explain it.

Life is HARD!  Being Old is HARD!  Having a hubby that is even older with health issues is HARDER! A scary diagnoses of Congestive Heart Failure on my beloved dog, Big Boy is Hard!

When I PLAY with the avatars and emojis and text people and create silly post like this one, it is an Escape. Like going on a cruise and getting away from it all. The good news is I do it on my phone, I cruise the phone and when Bob talks to me, I don't even know it!   HE SAYS that is HARD.

Above left side is a 3 emoji text I sent to a friend. Say it with emoji only... the other two are a couple of my favorites. They are animated in text, the bottom one waves, the top the halos wobble.

Below are just a few that I have to choose from... I love emojis and am new to them. Just since I got my new phone.  

Below Lower right is my "personal supposed to look like me avatar."

they had no old people, no short hair, this means this is not for old people to use, right?

I say who cares???? 

This has been in my drafts for over a week.. and since I created this you have seen post of 

my avatar Play Time.

WHO KNOWS WHAT Will POP UP NEXT?

Later Gators YOU MIGHT be surprised tomorrow

FORGET ABOUT IT, Positivity I mean

Last week I had a discussion with my blog buddy Ann, from SnapEditScrap after she wrote this comment on my post.. I am glad good things are happening, you have had so much going on.

I said I have on my blog face, my ACTING face, what you see on the blog is not my real face.

She commented I should do a post of my real face and get it out of my system.

HERE YOU GO

 MURPHY's Law

I wake up in the middle of the night, from my restless sleep and I feel

a blanket of dread, like I my chest is being squeezed by a 

Troubles, please wait

 water is rising, the climate if crazy, the fires are burning, the earth is quaking

humans are fighting and ranting and raving and do I dare even MENTION the condition of our politcs.

While all this is going on the economy in the whole world and our daily lives are afflicted by

I have been so stressed I have not been able to drink my coffee. I love coffee.

I just had to say, I believe in postive blogging and I try to lift your spirits and by doing that lift my own spirits.

Please Don't Worry About Me

Positive Polly will be back tomorrow

EH! What's Up Doc?

I type in, define Selfie and a long list of STUFF came up.

Are selfies a sign of insecurity?

Is selfies a disease?

What does it mean when a person posts a lot of selfies?

The answer there was......

She is over confident!

or

She has low esteem!

For me it could be I HAVE TO MUCH FREE TIME

I also found this trivia.

On average, 93 million selfies are posted per day and 10 selfies are posted to instagram every 10 seconds
