REAL 2025 June 16

Still fighting the infection but much improved. Short walks. Eating is good some days and not so good other days. Nightmares are tiring. 

Thank Goodness It's Sunday

~ Plants still blooming

If the current leader of the country is acting like a king, he's doing it wrong. A king wouldn't bother with the Constitution or contend with anyone. He'd just wipe them off the planet. You know, like other dictators have done. But he hasn't. For the record: June 14 is the 250th birthday of the military. A run up to the 250th birthday of the country, something that wouldn't exist without the military. Kind of a big deal.

REAL 2025 June 9

Short walks. The knee still twinges. Eating healthy some days not others. Sleep is still plagued by nightmares. Fighting an infection. One day at a time. 

Thank Goodness It's Sunday

One of the signs of the last day is a plague that covers the whole earth. Many thought it was the virus of 2020, until it wasn't. Many think the plague is yet to come. According to WHO, every year, around the world, "there are around 73 million induced abortions." According to another site, the conservative number is 40 million a year for over 30 years, meaning over 1,200,000,000, yes, that's over a billion babies terminated. It's more lives than any other cause of death and more than several of the leading causes combined. Some will shout that there are fewer with the repeal of Roe vs Wade. Ummm. Nope. The number has increased, only now the abortions are being done at home with pills through the mail. The plague is here and spreading.

65. Worth the Risk (Pine Valley series Book 1) by Heather B. Moore contemporary romance.  

REAL 2025 June 2

Walked to the end of my street (a few houses) and back a few times. Tried PT for my knee, but it still gives me a little trouble, as do my ankles. Not giving up. Eating healthy is easier if I stick to a strict routine. Sleep is plagued with nightmares, waking up tired. 

Thank Goodness It's Sunday
