In a pickle.

Well it helps to have someone else here to talk to our house guest.  My partner isn't telling me the truth nor is the house guest.  My partner is telling me that our house guest needs time to get over being homeless possibly up to six months.
Our house guest told the over person staying and taking a course for a week that he is here to help his friend and doesn't like the way my partner is treating me.  He would like to have a place of his own but has to stay here to help his friend.
I'm wanting him out and was blaming him for having no privacy.  Seems I don't know anything that is going on in my own home. Now I'm really in a pickle, our guest house guest would willingly go if I asked him, maybe.  My partner would blame me if his friend was to leave.  Maybe I should ask both to go. When the other person leaves I will find out where I stand. One week of confusion.

A new life?

My live just may be getting better or go back to just being a couple.  Haven't written about what has been happening in my life this past 3 weeks but it has been a living hell.  I have been putting up with a friend of my partner since the 6 of August.  I understood we had agreed he could stay until my niece came yesterday but I overheard him tell someone on the phone a few days ago that he would be staying at his friends four to six months, that would be Christmas or beyond.  I don't think so.
Tonight I'm going to have my say and give the ultimatum of  Sept 15th that the friend be gone and if my partner does not stand beside me and agree with me, he will be gone as well on Sept 15.  I don't really want that but my health and my life is worth peace of mind which I haven't had lately.
I don't know how this evening is going to  go but one way or another I will have my way.

Much better

Still don't know if anyone is reading my blogs but here goes again.
I'm feeling a whole lot better now that I stopped that new medication.  I did have almost every side effect known to that drug.
My niece got married Saturday and I felt as if I was there all day.  I know one of her brothers didn't go but don't know about the younger brother.  I phoned him Friday night but got no response to the question.  I know her nephew from Ottawa went because I just talked to him on the phone from Van airport on his way home.  He had a layover of a couple of hours before the flight home.
I know this isn't all that interesting if anyone is reading this and I promised myself I wouldn't do this so I'm done for today.
If I was still in that working writers challenge I would be writing a how to list. How to what that is the question? How to write a blog when there isn't anything to say.  Don't write anything hehe.Okay I  quit for today and am going to work on my manuscript I'm hoping to have finished in a little over a month.  Good thing I'm almost finished it, the draft that is or the first go round.

Tired, listless sore and have no energy

Oh boy when you take medication that you have all the side effects of you can feel like well you know. I've stopped taking them and still the effect hasn't gone away yet, but I did just quit, and had a little build up of the drug.  I like chiropractic and acupuncture better than gps.  It may sound like I'm against general practitioners but I'm really not, it is just that they decide to change what works for what may not work or make things difficult and painful. Quit gypping Gladys, just stop taking the pills that are making things worse for you.  Okay that is what I have done.

One thing I am happy about is the visiting cat was let out of his locked room after 4 days and got out one of the cat doors and went exploring the neighborhood. I'm sure he will come back after he has explored around and gets hungry.
Oh-oh unless he decides to go back to his old home which is a thought that just hit me but that is a long way and over a bridge.  I hope that thought is wrong and I pray it is wrong. Hope no one else thinks of that. Remember Lassie Come Home? Well it could be Oreo tries to go home but he would never make it.

Sunday August 9

If the man I married in 1969, was still alive it would be our 45 anniversary today.  But he died months before our 25 anniversary.  If he had lived I wouldn't have met the man I am with today.  He cares for me and we have been together longer than anyone expected, 18 years, actually longer than I expected too but it is a give and take relationship.  We may not be as happy together as we were when we met and weren't sure if this was what we wanted so we decided to spend a Christmas week together and I was going home January 2, well I didn't come home. The next February the Unity In Action minister did a partnership service for us.  Our friends took us out for lunch after the service. I think our honeymoon was when his sister asked us if we would like to come to the Dominican Republic to bring in the New Millennium and also celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.  We said yes of course so we went and had a marvelous time at a resort where the family had the whole resort to themselves for a week then a French couple came and joined us for the New Millennium some time around midnight. We weren't sure of the time as we were on the beach with fireworks.  We waited until we saw other fireworks down the beach.
It was also my first time on a motorcycle, it was rented, and Ken dumped me in the sand and water as it had rained the night before. Well he told me "Do not put your feet down no matter what, so I didn't and when he tried to skirt the puddle the back wheel skidded and down we went. Or I went down he just stepped off the bike and stood laughing at me.  Until he realized I may have been hurt.  We both got back on the bike and rode back to the resort. I think we all hoped that Y2K was going to happen but ofcourse it didn't so we had to come home on the 5th of January.

Discover Acupuncture

I'm helping a friend who is opening a new acupuncture office.  Sandy is a caring sensitive interested in her patients Acupuncturist.  She is looking for more patients who need her help with any kind of medical problem that can be helped with acupuncture.  I've been going to see Sandy now for a couple of months and she has helped with my digestion and the swelling in my legs.  She has also helped with pain associated with degenerative vertebra.  I recommend Sandy as a professional Chinese medicine acupuncturist.

What to write?

I've started a write a business challenge exercise with the Working Writers Club.  The first week is to write a one list article using a topic.  That is my dilemma, what to use as a topic for a list of something about it.  Lets see, maybe Unity Church, two that I have belonged to and the headquarters in Kansas City.  Now that would be something I do know something about.

My list would start with:

1. Charles and Myrtle Fillmore started the Unity Movement, a New Thought belief in the late 1889. Charles was born in August 1854 in St.Cloud,Minnesota and died in 1948.  He married Myrtle Page March 1881 They wrote many books on the power of God. Myrtle used her personal God power of to heal herself of tuberculous by prayer and meditation. She talked to each of her cells daily telling them they were healthy and full of the power of God.

2.  The headquarters is Unity Village, which is 15 miles southwest of downtown Kansas City Missouri, near  Lee's Summit. The village is beautiful, bountiful rose gardens, ten fountains that cover 14,090 square feet in the center of the court yard. There is a first class hotel for anyone to come and stay in the peace and quiet of one of the most beautiful villages I have ever been to.  There is bookstores, prayer chapels. Private walks through wooded areas.  A peace like you have never felt before will be yours before you leave this amazing prayerful village.
Google www.unity.org  to view anything you want to know about this most peaceful, prayerful place in the world as far as I'm concerned.

3. Unity Villages beautiful prayer 165 foot tower, Silent Unity is staffed 24 hours a day by members of Unity Village to pray with anyone from anywhere in the world.  Silent Unity can be reached by phone, e-mail silentunityprayers   The person on the other end of the phone will pray with you until the presence of God fills you with love, peace and takes away the worry, fear or what ever had been bothering you.

4. Charles and Myrtle also started the Daily Word magazine which was used by only a small group of people but the word got around and now in 2015 The Daily Word Magazine is used around the world as daily inspiration.  I first saw the Daily Word magazine on my mothers bedside table, in a care home, for a number of years.  I never asked her where she got it nor read it.  At that time I knew there was a God but didn't want to deal with religion as I knew it. I had also been told as a child that God has a very long memory and never forgives. That kind of God I didn't want in my life anymore I wanted a loving caring God I knew was somewhere.  I came to know exactly that. The love of God, Spirit, Light and Power. God is within everyone and will speak, feel and touch with love and peace.

5. Unity Churches are new thought that believe God is a non-gender Spirit of Light and Love and is Mother/Father/God.

6. Now that I have written about Unity Village I will start about Unity of Vancouver in B.C on the east side of Oak Street and about 40th Avenue or one block south of 41st Avenue.  Unity of Vancouver was the first Unity Church I had ever heard about or been in.  A friend asked me to go to church with her on a Christmas Eve some time in the late 80's. That was the most interesting Christmas Eve service I had every been to. I wanted to hear more.  But it was February of the next year that I finally asked my friend if I could go with her again. That was where I found the Daily Word.  Where Mom got it I don't know. For about 4 or 5 years I went every Sunday and to classes Wednesday night, until I left for another Unity Church. It was at Unity of Vancouver I learned God isn't an angry "old man" living in the sky somewhere just waiting for me to make a mistake and chalking up all the mistakes of my life to hold against me.  I learned the God of the Universe is a loving God who lives in each of us and also has a very short memory. He forgives long before we forgive ourselves.  We are the temples of the Living Christ. Now when I write out a prayer before reading my Daily Word the answer is more than likely the word for that day and the message answers my prayer or tells me how to deal with the prayer and the verse in the bible that deals with that word for the day.

7. From Unity of Vancouver I went to Unity In Action on Edinburgh Street and 17th Avenue in New Westminster B.C. Where Unity of Vancouver is a big beautiful church with stained glass windows, a platform that would hold a choir, and a grand piano Unity In Action is a small country style church in the midst of big city. It is a spiritual cozy, beautiful in it's own right as a historical building.  Unity has has had it for about 45 years as a number of years ago we celebrated it's 40th Birthday.  The first leadership group bought it from the Baptists who had it for I don'n know how long. I have been going there for 22 years and have no intention of leaving. It may hold 100 people, where as Unity of Vancouver would hold maybe close to 500. The difference makes Unity In Action a small community of friends with new people coming every week, to hear a wonderful Unity Minister who trained at Unity Institute of Learning at Unity Village, and listen to a wonderful professional piano player who can make that instrument talk, like a pipe organ, a band, guitar or any other musical instrument needed for the particular song being sung. The piano was a gift from a grateful member of Unity In Action. Our singers are first rate as well. There is also a half hour of prayer circle every Thursday at 6 PM from where our prayer box is prayed over for a month then sent to Silent Unity to be prayed over for another 30 days. From the fall to spring there is usually classes after the prayer circle.
We are so blessed by the love of God.

8. I served 6 years on the board of Unity In Action while we went through good times and bad that took payer, love and the patience of God to see us through. Now we are a happy healthy community of loving caring members who welcome anyone to come and join the singing, inspirational talk and music.


This is my list for the first week of August.  Didn't take as long as I thought it would.
