It's been ages since I have posted

 Life has just kept going so fast and I haven't blogged in ages. Mostly I feel depressed because of not being able to walk well because my knees are shot. I need to lose weight so I can get knee replacement. My doctor put me on Ozempic for weight loss but it didn't help at all. I didn't lose any weight and it just made me feel awful. My stomach had a lot of gas issues and so much pain. Finally after getting up to the 2.0 dose and it still not helping I decided to quit. There was no sense continuing to take the shot and it not doing anything to help and only causing me stomach issues. 

Yesterday, my daughter and I vacuum sealed 6 quart jars of self rising flour. Prices on everything keep going up and I figured I needed to do what I can to save money so we don't all end up starving to death. With flour at least you can make biscuits and gravy. It might not be the healthiest meal but at least you can fill your stomach with some food. 

WV is in the middle of a drought throughout the whole state. I think every county has a burn ban on. It did rain a bit yesterday but we need way way more. Some places are even restricting water usage. 


Once Again a Life Flip

 So many thing have happened to me since I last posted. I won't waste your time going over them all but they left me questioning a lot of my life choices. As a result of some self reflection I have made the change to return to being Pagan. I am not Wiccan but more of an eclectic belief system. I am doing what works for my life and own peace. I follow a herbal cottage paganist belief system. I have always been deeply connected to an herbal lifestyle. I have always thought that every illness had a natural cure it was just a matter of finding that cure.  My personal feelings are that drs are in the business of creating customers not cures. I look to find a vitamin or herb first.
