The Blue Jungle

I just found out that one of my friends passed away. She hasn't done her daily update since the 2nd. I thought maybe her mom was worse. She passed away unexpectedly on the 2nd of February. She was also the mod of one of the communities that I write in. She was always there for everyone. She will be missed. And Small Fandom Bang will never be the same again. If you could say a little prayer for her family, she would appreciate that. Thank you.

What are three specific goals you’d like to accomplish this year, and how can you break them down into manageable steps?

1. I’m trying to save money for a trip at the beginning of 2027. We’d like to go to Hawaii and it’s so expensive. It’s a cruise that will have five different ports of call. We get to pick out the best excursions. My brother and his husband are. Going to go with us. It’ll be fun for all four of us. Now we just have to start saving.

2. My daughter, Chris and I are planning a five day trip to Albuquerque to Santa Fe, NM. It’s my brother Dan’s favorite place to hang out. I haven’t seen him in almost a year. It’s time for a visit. We are planning for August. It’ll be so nice for the two of us to see family. There are three that live in Albuquerque. That’s the second goal.

3. I’m helping a friend out with her mother. They’re both my friends. Vicki is 65. Her mom is 89. Beverly’s got beginning dementia. Anyhow, Vickie still works 4 days a week. Beverly doesn’t get around as well as we wish she did. Neither of them can really afford someone to be with her four days a week. So, Vicki has asked me if I can do it. I’m not thrilled. I’m 74 years old and not in the best health. This is going to be hard for me and Beverly. We’re both old and cantankerous. Now, my goal is to try and do it two days a week instead of four. I’m hoping my body can take it. My hubby is a little upset because I’m not in the best of health and he’s worried about me. I’m going to have my hands full, between Vicki and my hubby. Those are my three goals for this year.

What would it feel like to step out of your comfort zone? How can you step out of your comfort zone more this year?

I have always been shy but I took part in Snowflake Challenge for four years to build up my confidence and stop being so shy. I have friends all over the place. I love having something to read on my reading page every day. So, now I find it easier to step out of my comfort zone. I joined quite a few communities and write and create moodboards and post a few times a week.

Posting a little early.

How many flights of stairs would you consider walking up in a building, or do you always take the lift/elevator?

Only two. I’m on oxygen, so my pulmonary hypertension keeps me from doing certain things. I can walk downstairs just fine but going up is very difficult. Basically, I always use elevators.
