nah
It's the neuropathy after my stroke and the cold weather just plays havoc with my right side I noticed the other day that the hair no longer grows around my ankle on the right side because neuropathy
and the nerve endings at the bottom of my feet just it hurts a lot
and there's nothing that I can do to mitigate the pain and my right arm goes through these pretty gnarly spasms
It's interesting when I was younger I remember thinking that I wanted to feel death
I wanted it to be something that I felt because it's part of life and I wanted to experience it and I remember having these thoughts
and of course, we think we're the hero of our own story and when I thought it
I thought of being shot saving a beautiful woman from a terrorist or burned alive saving a busload of children
I didn't think it was going to be a five year struggle to walk and be in pain
but it's definitely an experience
and God has a sense of humor

Good Morning Humans
Fiesta Friday!
It’s a good day to have a great day! But sadly, it is a DIY project. So whistle while you work and let the day speed by as Happy Hour draws nearer.
Then when it’s time, bounce out that side door and proceed to a trendy Mexican eatery and enjoy chips, salsa and top shelf margaritas until all is right in the world.
See y’all on the patio later today.
