Share Your World: May 22, 2017

May 22, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 0 Comment

This will be a weekly post of the most random of random questions to answer- to share my world! Thanks to Cee’s blog for being the brainchild behind this!

What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? Have children. This is a painful struggle we’ve been dealing with for over three years due to major health issues on my part.

Everything in our baby box…just waiting…yes, we love Doctor Who.

My last haircut (pic taken my last day of work)

How often do you get a haircut? It used to be every three months or so, since I also dye my hair a bit because its natural color is quite blah. But due to the unpredictability of my health, and thus my ability to leave the house and keep an appointment, I’ve neglected it. Last time I had my hair cut was October. It could definitely use a trim and some color, although I want to grow it out again. I just need to justify spending the money on it, since things are tight right now. But I never leave the house anyway, so I don’t suppose it matters how I look.

In regards to puzzles what’s your choice: jigsaw, crossword, word search or numeric puzzles? Word searches! I used to do those all the time when I was a kid. I kind of miss them. I should get some word search books…I also used to do the USA Today online crossword with coworkers during slow times at work (we got through a ton of them on Christmas Eve one year).

How many cities have you lived? You can share the number of physical residences and/or the number of cities. Regarding number of cities, only four: my hometown (western New York), my college town (northwestern Ohio), our first place after getting married, and our current residence (both northeastern Ohio.) But if you include moving around every month to different cities and states during my clinical rotations during my 6th year of pharmacy school, nine. Although to describe some of them as cities would be vastly incorrect, haha.

In terms of physical residences (since I lived in a different place every year in college), eight. If you include clinical rotations, fifteen. I don’t miss literally living out of a suitcase for a year.

Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? Ugg. Well, I had a little medical rebellion last week that didn’t work out too well for me. It just proved to me that I really am sick, even though I was trying to convince myself that maybe I’m not quite as sick as I seem…but it appears I am. In a weird way, I’m grateful for that because it at least proves that I’m not imagining things.

I’m looking forward to my husband being home (relatively speaking) this week. Last week he was at an emergency medicine conference in Orlando all week. But even though this is the week he works seven 10-hour shifts in a row, he’ll at least be home during the nights and mornings.

    I am sorry that you’re in poor health. I pray that you’ll be able to have a baby some day soon and be healed of your illness. Have a blessed day.

      Thank you so much. We know it’s all in the Lord’s hands, so that makes it a bit easier to deal with.

        Yes, it does and I think that He understands when we have a hissy fit about it, too. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who holds tomorrow. We’ll be just fine.

          Yes, He does! He knows we are His children, and as such, are prone to acting like children sometimes! ? I know He has a fantastic plan. I take comfort in Psalm 139. ??

            Goodness knows I’ve had my “acting like children” moments. 🙂
            I look forward to hearing about His plans for your life. Have a blessed day.
