Growing Old is not Easy

It has been an awful few weeks. My best friend, Lover, and Husband of the past 11 years has suffered from epilepsy. We did not have a clue he had it. We thought he had a stroke in December of last year but now it is more involved. I have spent the last two weeks at the hospital with him. I am not sure what comes next.

I am lucky that I still have a job. I recently got a contract position with an aircraft part supplier. They are so kind that they told me my position is still there for me. I am not making any money with them at the present but I will manage. I do have some retirement funds coming in.

I am using this time to set up an Etsy shop. I go to the hospital in the morning and stay until the afternoon. I then go home and instead of sitting in my room and crying, I am making myself useful and productive. It will be an adventure in media marketing for me.

I will not go into great detail about my husband’s illness. I am able to share many things in my life that are very personal but at the current time this illness is just too painful for me. I adore my husband and over the past week I have been deeply saddened by his condition. My heart is breaking into millions of pieces. Later I will be able to share more on this subject but it is just too real right now.

Soooo, I am having to learn to survive both mentally and financially. This can be done. I will share my journey with you guys if you are interested. If you have any questions or comments feel free to share.

Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested. I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more. I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry. I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas. I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects. I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress. Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic. If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth. Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
