Jewells of Thought

The past two weeks have been so crazy busy and yet slowly surreal. Both Christmas and New Years Eve are officially over. This is where I begin my annual introspection as I get ever so close day by day to January 20th.

As of today after nearly a three month stint in therapy for my foot I didn’t get the phone call. I had only 10 sessions and my insurance allows me 75 a year for all therapies PT and OT. I do feel a bit of a difference because of therapy I just was not ready for it to end and my therapist said we still had an avenue to focus on. I have better strength and the swelling is done until I walk on cement of course. That is the conundrum staying away from cement but staying active and doing what I need to do and love to do without tiring or injuring my ankle further.

So while I waited for that phone call I made another one this morning. For the past two months I have patiently waited for Indy to call me with a surgery date. This afternoon I found out they are still finalizing the schedule and that I am still very much on the list for this month, I think. Talking with the nurse made me feel better though regardless; I wasn’t forgotten.

Too many things have happened to digest even now between Christmas, babysitting earlier this week, New Years Eve and now the Speaker’s vote. I think my favorite thing from today was seeing Vice President Elect Senator Vance smiling ear to ear while the outgoing V. P Harris was swearing in his Republican friends in the Senate earlier today. Apparently she made a couple of botches with her decorum and was even rude to Senator Bernie Sanders which surprised even him.

We totally had a God moment today. If our Republican Representatives hadn’t decided to change their votes they could have sidelined the American People’s mandate too too easily by their callous and ego-laden attitudes during the roll call. We should all be Thanking God decisions were changed even if Thomas Massies was not changed the two that mattered were definitively changed.

Every day since New Years Eve some breaking news has brought us death and wounded numbers. As much as I am not quite ready for my birthday we need Trump’s swearing and done more like New Years Eve quickly. Out with the old and in with the new cannot come soon enough for our country. The incompetence is ghastly. We need Trump’s new team in pronto Homan, Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard they need instated pronto as well.

Today helped with the awkward phase. We now have our Speaker we need for Monday to certify the election. I was hoping my surgery would be over before my birthday. It could still happen it’s only the 3rd, but I have to have a certain amount of time to be off certain medication before the day of surgery. I feel like I am in limbo just a little bit. Surely it will all work out the way it’s supposed to for me and for Trump’s Inauguration so he can instantly get to work making good on those promises he made for us.
