Relaxing before the storm. We are seeing a storm warning coming soon. I am not sure what location it is headed to. However, this morning I woke up in extreme pain. I thought rest would ease it for me. Nope, not at all. I waited so long to go enjoy myself. I continued with my plans. My relaxing place is the casino. I am not a big gambler though. I just can't do it. Today I took $40 with me to play. I said I would cash out each time I won. I came home with $37 winnings. I love that. See I told you.

My goal of pulling out allows me to come home with my $40 all the time. I ended up going to the auto parts store for Suzie. You can guess who that is. Recently, I began to take notice that I don't like outside life. gatherings and the like. So I am going solo and loving it. I am getting calls and people clearly are not happy with me. I just don't care to be honest. I will be 54 in a few weeks. I am working so hard to get my cards off the ground.

I am inside making my home comfortable as well. Between my fainting and pain do you really think I am wrong? No way it is high time I make fun times for myself. I want to make a routine of the casino but with maybe $30 instead of $40. I find that easier to part with in my hard to come by budget. After buying the part for $50. I paid The Fixer $20 towards my upcoming fix.

I don't know him but I went to see him early this afternoon. It was blazing here with 95 degree temps. I drove to McDonald's. I got him a small lunch and drink. It was the least I could do with him under a hot car. I came home broke once more but of course I am happy. I had fun today which was the goal. The other bit of joy was on the way out of the casino a man saw me bent over in pain. He stopped to walk back to help me.

Then the bus driver that was driving stopped. Got off the bus to help me get on along with the nice stranger. I could not sit but I did hold on tight. it turned out the driver's wife had the same diagnosis as I. I tell you it was a nice blessing to be helped when I am normally passed on the road. I recall fainting near the bus stop. I came to with an extremely bruised arm.

Everyone at the bus stop watched as I struggled off the ground. My bike tabled between my legs. The pain was beyond words. The mark looked like a chunk of beef liver sprawled on a counter. I wabbled home with my head held high. I got to my building. Up to the 12th floor and down the long hallway. As I entered I dropped to the floor screaming in pain.

That was one of the worst falls because, in a split second, I moved my arm to my head which saved my life. The kindness of strangers can be hit or miss. I will always show kindness because it just makes me feel so good. Who does not want to go home to a frugal meal and smile? Kindness is free so sharing it comes naturally to me.

I just hope you have a chance to be shown kindness as well as share it .
