Holland had a Dr. appointment at 8 AM ⚕️, this morning - so, I put out an S.O.S. to my FB Family π»π to {{please pray that someone there knows what they are doing & his struggling lungs gets some relief ☝️π}}
Whatever is going on in Holland's lungs π¬️is starting to scare me π€¨: I do not want to become a 2nd time widow πππ₯Ί
The exam went well π©Ί & we're both confident that he may actually finally be getting the kind of medical attention he needs. And miracle of miracles - he even wanted me in the Office with him ⚕️π
(((THANK YOU, LORD)))
2 sets of ears ππ are better than 1, when dealing with important situations. 2 [miracles] in 2 Days time. Will wonders never cease π❤️
So, I thanked Elohim as we were getting into Betsy - and when we got back home, I immediately went online to thank my faithful, loving, Friends π»π
Holland did not get the prescription refill he was angling for …. BUT he DID get a knowledgeable Doctor, who actually knew what she was there for, asked him the right questions, and came to a reasonable assessment. He was asked if he has ever used a portable oxygen tank & he said he has "a while ago" … I'm thinking he will probably be using one again, until this thing with his lungs stabilizes & the pneumonia clears up. So, an order was put in π¨for him to see a Lung Specialist (a Pulmonary Doctor) ⚕️π¬️ We will be on wait for an appointment to be made ππ±π¬, but at least now, he is getting some progress with his COPD issue.
On our way home, we collected the mail π¬π¦ - and noticed that foliage is changing π³π … so we meandered along the way home ππ for a good mental break to get outside and feel the golden sunshine ☀️; and the energy of the changing season π§‘ππ
Back home again, Holland engaged in a relaxing siesta π₯±π€ … and I did a quick 1-set workout (heat & humidity didn't allow for anything more), switched out nail polish π , brewed a steaming mug of pumpkin spiced coffee, & delved into my latest Read π - to relax in the comfort of temporarily disappearing into time & space ⛵️ππ✈️, while remaining present in my small corner of the world. Books … especially Clive's adventures offer companionship, curiosity, explorations, understanding, and a quiet place to rest when the real world feels a little too loud π☕️

I ate supper π½️ while scrolling through my Blogger Friends posts π»π … and got some ideas ππ‘πΈπ from the shared Blog posts - which, if anything comes of the ideas, will be shared at a later date π
I opened my lights package & enjoyed the colorful display, while watching The Rubin Podcast … and this is my breakdown of tonight's "leads" - understand that I am being as generously kind as I can be when assessing the greedy, unkind, and seriously demented minions overtaking America's governing seats in a mad rush to conquer & destroy: Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” π»π§π️ talks AI trojan horse concept πΉ; America-China scientific checkmate; if obama & the demonrats π€―ππΊπ©π€‘π½ are "all for it", or hyper hysteria π±π€₯ π on an issue - it's more than likely poisonously rotten & should 100% be avoided; hypocritical backwards πΏ mindset communist & muslim millionaires/billionaires … and their equally unhinged & unscrupulous political zombie parrots π€‘πΉπΊπ»π️πΈπ§♀️ screaming about "equality!" while obviously being unequal in financial means π€¦π»♀️; TDS suddenly tamped down when government handouts are demanded by political morons; newsom-harris lose touch with reality; obama sanctioned leftist communist lunacy, that promotes total government control over personal accountability/responsibilities & business operations; CA paying cash to homeless people to engage in identity fraud to push illegal political initiatives & pushing a Bill #AB1896 π, that would refuse a job to anyone who worked for ICE - or any agency that has dealt with Immigration Enforcement issues; stagnation … across the board, on all levels.
