We've been here 3 days, have filled out several information sheets … and we are still waiting for a permanent space here, in Castle Rock-WA: we have a space that we have been paying daily rates, since we arrived early Sunday morning - but we want a space to rent monthly since we will be here for at least 6 months. Could be longer. The daily rent is $75/Day; we live on a limited income - $2,250/mo. is a little too rich for comfortable breathing space & already they have sucked $225 space rent out of us, while running us through $75 worth of endless, ridiculous hoops, "to be approved". We have stayed here before, our "information" should already be in their data bank; all the "background information" is still the same. This wait & information gathering, is ridiculously stupid; we just want a settled space to set down in, until at least Fall - we are not purchasing real estate.
With every "12 to 24 hr." delay & every $35 background check, I'm getting annoyed.
We need to be fully set up so we can get on with our local business, already.
Holland was up at 3 AM, filling out the Park questionnaire at 5 AM - doing what he could do to satisfy the endless questioning, while I slept; then, around 7 AM, after I had been up long enough to finish my morning cup of coffee, he closed his laptop and went upstairs, to get the sleep that avoided him earlier.
While he slept, I worked out.
The Overhead Shoulder Stretch is an effective way to improve flexibility, relieve tension, and enhance overall upper body mobility.
The Bodyweight Half Squat Side Reach exercise is generally considered safe for a 69-year-old woman to perform, provided she maintains proper form and technique. It is a low-impact exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, including the legs, core, and back, which are essential for maintaining strength and independence. Assessing joint mobility is vital for performing squats correctly and safely, especially as we age.
It is crucial for the individual to assess her specific health conditions, such as knee pain or balance issues, and to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine.
For those with a history of knee pain or other medical concerns, it may be beneficial to consider alternative exercises that do not place excessive strain on the knees.
Overall, with proper guidance and attention to personal health, the Bodyweight Half Squat Side Reach exercise can be a safe and beneficial addition to a senior's exercise regimen: Squats become a key indicator of functional health and independence for older adults. The ability to perform even a modified squat indicates good muscle function, balance, and joint health, all of which are essential for everyday activities like sitting and standing, walking, and maintaining posture.
I do this exercise with my back against a wall for support, keeping the back straight & upright throughout the entire movement - no hunching. Keep squatting, and remember: it’s not just about how deep you go, but how well you can move! Age is just a number. Even in your golden years, squats should be part of your daily movement.
The Darebee Because I Can Workout is generally considered safe for a 69-year-old woman to do, as it includes bodyweight exercises that are simple, safe, and accessible. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new workout program, especially for individuals with health concerns or those taking medications.
Darebee's Because I Can exercise routine, uses dumbbells and employs compound moves to stretch muscles along the body's kinetic chain. It appears to be deceptively easy but it makes a considerable oxygen demand so it strengthens your cardiovascular system while helping you become stronger and feel more in control of your body.
The kinetic chain is a concept in anatomy that describes how the body's joints and muscles work together to perform movement. It was introduced by Franz Reuleaux in 1875 and later adapted by Dr. Arthur Steindler in the 1950s. The kinetic chain can be classified into two types: Closed Kinetic Chain: The distal segment (like the hand or foot) is fixed to a solid surface, allowing for coordinated movement across multiple joints (e.g., squats, push-ups) & Open Kinetic Chain: The distal segment moves freely in space, allowing for independent movement at one joint (e.g., bicep curls, seated leg extensions). This workout, provides both:
While I worked through the workout routines, my mind wandered …
Last night, my husband again mentioned that perhaps we should go to an Oak Point gathering while we are back in WA - and again, I said I didn't want to go - he can go, if that is his choice … but, I do not want to go: the people up there are not nice people, and most are just plain miserably hateful. He told me "jeannie paulsen died months ago". I didn't believe it, saying, "that old battle axe is too hateful to die and do the world a favor. Besides, I would have known - someone would have told me, and I haven't heard a word."
Well, he pulled up his Page notice, and showed me: sure enough, the old witch had died. Praise the Lord! The reason I hadn't heard, was because the people keeping me updated on local happenings had also left the Oak Point gatherings - and those who were posting the sympathetic death whines, had been blocked by me.
Holland is still friends with those hilltop devils: I am not, nor will I be. They are not friendly people, and I am tired of feeling the devilish knives at my back. He continued talking, saying, "You know, there are good people up there" … then, he started naming off the [good] people; and I said, "No. N.o.n.e. of the people you just named off, are "good" in any way, shape, or form. No. If you insist I "go back" … all those people will have to have vacated the premises. Preferably the way the last 4 have vacated the premises. You and I have a very different view of what [good] means."
Then he said, "I wish you hadn't posted that FB Post - you didn't need to go off on a 5 page rant." I just shrugged and said, "Well, it wasn't a 5 page rant - it was perhaps a 5 paragraph notification:
{{Saturday, I got belated news about a Pastor friend who had passed into Glory a year ago - he was much loved & will be much missed. I anticipate seeing him in Heaven & introducing him to Bob, who had heard a lot about Charlie throughout our 44 year marriage.
Today, my husband told me of the November 2025 death of 1 of the Oak Point devils, jeannie paulson - again, belated news: this woman was a hate-filled gossip bent on running everyone's life and destroying those she could not control - the only ones missing her will be those with hearts as dark as hers. I believe she got the shock of her life to find herself in Hell … and I thank the Lord I will not be seeing her in Heaven. No apologies forthcoming. This woman was evil.
She is the 3rd one: Elohim is cleaning house up there - every 1 that directly attacked the people HE SENT THERE is being taken out. Be careful how you treat Elohim's Children.
Live your Life wisely: Eternity is a looooong time.}}
"Holland, I am just sick and tired of evil people being praised. And if you are a truth bearer, like you claim to be … I don't see why you would take issue with the truth being told; just saying. ALL of the Bible is truth telling, Holland, a.l.l. of it: from Genesis' accounting of Abraham - and all the way through the Gospels & Epistles (which find foundation in the accounting of Abraham's lineage). Christianity is based on truth telling histories; Paul was especially vociferous & to the point about people who were wicked in thought, act, and deed; people who need to be called out for being run by a demonic spirit; and people, who, should be avoided because they refuse to change their evil ways - it is actually our duty to call the evildoers out, so as to stop their wickedness from spreading among the Body of Believers.
Perry's Aunt Edith, Coralie, Rusty, Anne, & Jeannie, all fall into that category, and all died hard & now reside in Hell. I'm fairly certain that is an accurate conclusion, considering that Revelation 21 is flourishing up there, & I don't apologize for speaking the truth. And I don't particularly care if people - including you - are offended by the truth. The modern church is diseased for lack of truth & the correct Biblical way of dealing with rotten people (the adage of 1 rotten apple will cause the ruination the whole bunch, if it is not removed): I will not go back until those "good people" you just mentioned are also gone. One way, or the other. But, if I go back - which I do not ever see happening, the remaining 11 devils (Don & Judy, Dan & Dawn, Luroy, Heva & Betty, Perry, Tanya, Rodney & Corrina), will be gone. If you want to go up there while we are here, go. But stop telling me I need to go back with you - I don't dance to the devil's tune, and I don't feel the need to flirt with the sharpened knife points welded by those devils." He said, "I don't know why you have to name them …" And I said, "I name them because that is Paul's example when dealing with people run by demonic spirits: they need to be named & leadership discipline applied, so that people know to avoid contact with them; but when leadership is run by the same spirit, total contact needs to be broken. That is why I won't go back. I love you & I don't want to be a burden - or an embarrassment to you; but, I have to do what is best for me - in my Christian walk according to what Scripture teaches; not what you believe or don't believe according to different translations. I adhere to the KJV & I walk the Messianic Walk, as Yeshua & the early Church did. Maybe the whole purpose or me being there at all was so we could finally meet & fulfill your vision. But we do not agree on doctrine. We do not agree on theology. We do not agree on actual Biblical writ. And we, for sure, do not agree on association with bad apple rot. That is why I won't go back."
That was the end of that opinionated convo … but I doubt it will be the last time the topic is broached while we are here.
God help me.
I don't want to be like Jonah … but I also do not want to step out of Elohim's Plan for My Life: I am not getting the same message my husband claims he is getting for my life's direction & the [need] to be permanently in WA State - specifically at Oak Point!
For the time being, in this particular moment of time: we are here, for however long we will be here. And, as I promised, I will "be as good as gold" - meaning I will not be constantly complaining about being back in WA: but I won't be forced into unpleasant situations, either. There will be many times we will go places & see people, together as a couple: there will several times he will be going alone to places & visiting people, where I am not welcome - nor do I feel a particular draw, to be.
I am at a place in my Life where I just want peace. Peace is what I intend to have. I do not feel the need to rub shoulders with rotten people. I do not feel the need to grieve the removal of bad apples.
