Birthday Weekend Continues

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! My birthday weekend continues, thanks to my wonderful partner, Junior. Yes, yesterday was my official birthday but Junior wants to make sure my birthday is wonderful, and it has been wonderful. My partner and I went out to breakfast with my best friend and her partner at the Blue Star Cafe and Pub. The food was delicious as always. Also, my partner and I will be going out to dinner with a group of our friends to Red Robin for my birthday. Red Robin is my favorite restaurant, and I love their food. I am grateful for awesome people in my life and that they want to celebrate me even though I am uncomfortable with it. I am uncomfortable with it due to the trauma I dealt with as a child but at least I know I have people who care about me.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except that I will post more about my birthday this weekend. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

A Great Start to My Birthday

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is my birthday, and I am awake earlier than I would like to be on my birthday but there is a good reason as to why I am awake early on my birthday. I am at my partners, Junior’s place with my cat, Billie. Anyway, Junior woke me up and served me breakfast in bed. He made me French toast, scrambled eggs and chocolate milk. After breakfast in bed, Junior and I had some intimate moments. Intimacy that felt good and I am grateful for. I am so very happy that Junior is so respectful and loves me even with all my challenges. Junior making my birthday start special is so very awesome of him to do and it truly makes me feel special.

A Fun Time w/Friends at Breakfast

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! It is 12:06 in the afternoon here in Seattle and I am back home from having breakfast with my friends. Two of my friends took me out to breakfast. They took me out to breakfast to one of my favorite restaurants called the Blue Star Cafe and Pub. It is in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. In fact, it by the novelty shop Archie McPhee’s. Archie McPhee’s is a big deal here in Seattle. Anyway, my friends and I had a wonderful breakfast and thought the food was really yummy. We had a great time and had fun.

Feeling Emotional

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is seven twenty in the morning here in Seattle and I am feeling emotional. I am feeling emotional because I am missing my parents. Sadly, both of my parents died within two months of each other. My mom died of lung cancer and my dad died in hospice care from aspiration pneumonia. It has only been three months since my mom died and one month since my dad died. The grief is really intense at this moment in time. I wish both of them were still alive. I miss both of them very much.

The grief of losing both of my parents might be intense right now but I am grateful for the friends I have in my life. In fact, two of friends are taking me out to breakfast. They are taking me to breakfast at Blue Star Cafe and Pub in the Walingford neighborhood of Seattle. In fact, Blue Start Cafe and Pub is near the novelty store Archie McPhee’s which is a big deal here in Seattle. I have some amazing friends who care about me and willing to take me out to breakfast for no reason other than they care about me.

Up Too Early & Plan for the Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is four fourteen in the morning here in Seattle and I am up way too early. On that note I also ended up going to bed really early for me last night which explains why I am up way too early. I got a really good night of sleep for a change and that is a good thing for especially after my insomnia was acting up.

Two of my friends are planning on taking me out to breakfast later this morning. We are going to one of my favorite places to eat called Blue Star Cafe & Pub. It is in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. In fact, it is near Archie McPhee’s which is a fun novelty shop which my friends and I might end up going to after breakfast. I am so very grateful that I have friends who care about me and like to treat me to meals especially my favorite meal of the day, breakfast.

A Pleasant Surprise

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is just barely after eight o’clock in the morning here in Seattle. Thankfully, the weather is somewhat becoming more normal for Seattle. It is now currently raining but sadly it is still cold outside and in the thirties (Fahrenheit) but at least it is not cold enough to snow at this point in time.

As I type this particular blog post my cat Billie is on my lap as my partner, Junior is fixing me breakfast when he does not have to. He decided to come by my place after his shift as a Seattle fire fighter to spend time with me and to make sure I eat. When Junior showed up to make me breakfast I told him he just wanted an excuse to see my cat, Billie. Anyway, Junior is making me French toast with scrambled eggs. Junior knows how much I love French toast and scrambled eggs and how I have been craving them almost daily. I am always happy to spend time with him and wish he didn’t spoil me so much.

So Far A Good Saturday

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning (again), World!!! I started the day off pretty well by doing a mindfulness meditation practice. I do at least two mindfulness meditation practices a day. One in the morning and one before bed. I find that starting and ending my day with a mindfulness meditation helps with my mental health challenges and my recovery.

I went to the University District’s Farmers Market to have a breakfast sandwich and to help support local farmers. While there I also bought me a sunflower as they are my favorite flower.

A breakfast sandwich I get at the Farmers Market.

The above picture is the breakfast sandwich I devoured. I devoured it because it was good and yummy!!! I got it at a vendor that only sells breakfast sandwiches at the University Districts Farmer’s Market. The U-District Farmer’s Market happens every Saturday, year-round from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

When I arrived home I decided to attend an online twelve step meeting that focuses on adult children that grew up with dysfunctional families and alcoholic parents. I really enjoy going to the twelve step meetings.

Now it is time to cuddle with my kitty cat, Billie. I love my cat so much. I’m thinking I might start a weekly post called Caturday Pictures of Billie for a Saturday post.

I don’t have much else to say in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Breakfast of Champions for Lunch

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! It is now 12:00noon in the afternoon here in Seattle. I finally got food in my stomach. I order McDonalds via Grubhub. My breakfast slash lunch was pancakes, four hash browns and a hot chocolate. Billie my cat wanted me to share be this was a no share meal with Billie the cat.

As I hate my meal Billie laid next to me as I ate and listened to a podcast about Philosophy. In fact I listened to Philosophize This. In fact I’m grateful for this podcast as I am learning lots of information.

I think I need to finish this post as I am about to fall asleep. I hope you hall have great day. Peace Out, World!!!

The Start of Another Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is the start of another day for me. Or maybe I should say that in less than an hour I will be starting work at a job that I love. I love my current job so much that I am willing to work being way too tired to function or that is how it feels at the moment.

I didn’t sleep very well again last night. At least the lack of sleep wasn’t due to a neighbor pulling the building fire alarm for stupid reasons. I couldn’t sleep due to the not so lovely thing called insomnia. I am not a big fan of having insomnia.

Despite not sleeping due to insomnia, I actually fixed breakfast for myself. I made myself French toast, scrambled eggs and chocolate milk. It was a tasty breakfast. I did find out that my cat, Billie Dean, loves scrambled eggs. I had to hurry up and eat my scrambled eggs or Billie would have eaten them for me.

I now have to get ready for work by putting on a nice shirt since I work from home on Wednesdays. So, if I feel like it, I can wear pajama pants to “work” when I work from home. Most of the time I do since I wear a nice shirt. When I do work from the office I wear nice pants and not pajama pants.

I do not have much more to say in this blog post except that I am glad it is Wednesday and the week is half over. I also want to think you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you read my blog. If it wasn’t for you reading my blog, I wouldn’t be writing my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!
