Snow Daze

At this time, north Texas has come to a stand still due to weather with frozen heavy sleet on the roads. This morning, I wanted my weekly McDonalds breakfast binge so I drove out and got it safely and timely. Drove through a stop sign after locking in my brakes. It does help that, inContinue reading “Snow Daze”

The Fort Worth Water Gardens

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. The Fort Worth Water Gardens are free to experience in downtown Fort Worth Texas. The attraction caught my eye when a luxury automobile dealership was airing things to do in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The art exhibit is aContinue reading “The Fort Worth Water Gardens”

The Quiet Voice

Have you ever been quiet enough to listen to a quiet voice? Profound short message by a male voice that is powerful and gentle yet humble. Twice for me in the past 3 months of communication that is current of things that I have been wondering and/or thinking about. My experiences were, “Fix ….” theContinue reading “The Quiet Voice”

The $1200 Grocery Card Scam

The commercial starts with an older retired woman who is struggling with food costs. Then, she prays and then discovers the $1200 grocery card on television. She calls and qualifies, of course. Later, she does the,”happy dance.” After she receives it, she’s thanking God in prayer. It all looks legit to viewers on the surface.Continue reading “The $1200 Grocery Card Scam”

Panic Attacks

For the six days, I’ve been waking up and panicking about unemployment and benefits. Yesterday, I took the time to call a representative to sign up for unemployment. My material is coming in the mail. Very informative from a calming man who felt my tension. This morning, I woke up with one again and remindedContinue reading “Panic Attacks”

My Fun Five for Friday

List five things you do for fun. On this Friday, I’m thinking about fun things to do to relieve the stress of unemployment. My fun five aren’t necessarily for the Texas environment but for colder climates especially in the summer months. With that, Happy FriYay! Leslie Elizabeth David.

Thursday, January 22nd

Today, I finally applied for unemployment which is a great relief. Still learning the Texas prompts to get payment and to file job applications too. Last night, God placed it on my heart to contact my younger brother whom I haven’t had contact in years. He got mad at me more than 13 years agoContinue reading “Thursday, January 22nd”

My Felines, My World

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be? The one thing that I could have Bella and Luna understand is that they are my world. Being born as a premie and being on the outside of the “mainstream” all of my life, my fur babies have been a rock forContinue reading “My Felines, My World”

My Youngest Brother

Took a huge risk tonight and emailed with my younger brother whom I have not communicated in years. It felt awkward and was difficult. My emails told him how proud I am for his educational choices along with hard work and dedication helped his career. In addition, I showed him pictures of my home paintedContinue reading “My Youngest Brother”

Wednesday

It’s been five days since I lost my job. Over the weekend and the Monday Holiday, I was in a fog. Yesterday, I spent some time at Texas Workforce Commission to learn how unemployment works here in the Lone Star State. Then, today, I accidentally lost connection to Texas Unemployment from having a minor panicContinue reading “Wednesday”
