cheekyNow Playing: Day 2966-Chapter 3... Happiness~My Silver Lining
We both have watched the latest video of super silly Babyblue vs. a SWIFFER clean SWEEP so many times now that we both lost track! Hahahahaha! If you haven't had a chance to check out today's Podcast-Blogcast video at, "Our Crazy Little Life," you certainly don't want to miss this one! Hahahahaha!

What didn't start off on a very funny day was literally having to reschedule today's rescan for tomorrow. I could not get comfortable at all with the nagging tumor pressure and pain. It also started firing up seizure aura... so needless to say... the radiologist felt it would be best to come in tomorrow afternoon. This way I could take my medication and let my brain and body rest. It took until around 11am for the pill to finally kick in, but finally I was able to go to sleep... Geesh!! I can't wait to get this next surgery over and done! I would much rather just get this one over with so if there is something that can be done surgically, at least it might lead up to far better days. More good days to enjoy life and share plenty of smiles and laughter with our little family. The new surgeon who took over my case will be performing surgery early next week in a hospital setting where at least they can handle any issues right then and there, not having to go under the surgical lights more than a few times over and over again. The past few months have literally been a huge learning curve for myself and Eric. Just because one, two, three or even more than four surgeons may not feel that nothing surgically can be further done on a far more complex medical case. Doesn't necessarily mean that every other surgeon will feel that exact same way. Each and every surgeon is truly different and unique when it comes to their expertise and personal opinions on far more complex medical cases. I am fortunate to now have come across my third surgeon in this still so very new... new year. Three new surgeons who are willingly wanting to go above and beyond so this gal can see far better days ahead. Amen!
On a far brighter note... literally... Eric is now working on the basement steps as we are close to finishing up this latest home repair project. We still are working on a second back up plan. Right now there is no way I could handle the drive across the great USA, our final move to the beautiful red rock mountains out west. It's important that we still have a second back up plan! One particular property that Eric was ready to place an offer on the other day with over 30 acres of land, just happens to be a bit further out in the country. But once again... these crazy realtors and their sneaky ways of not being upfront and honest on their property listings and disclosures. Ummmm... waiting until the bank sends over the approval and then NOW telling Eric that another area of the property still has work that needs to be done?? Like... major type of work??
Yea... these realtors in this day and age and their never-ending realtor games. More of our top 10 Realtor Funnies to come tomorrow. Trust me... they are good ole funnies that I am sure anyone can totally relate to when it comes to buying or selling a home. At least... by our own personal experiences! Hehehehehehe!

After sifting through the rest of our videos and photos of the overnight stay at a very historic barnhouse located in Kentucky. We came across this quite interesting photo that was taken in the parlor room. Eric was playing the piano... or at least trying... while I was sitting back taking random pictures of the property. Two pieces of our ITC equipment are visibly seen below this sort of spectacular white energy that seems to be reaching for an old stuffed animal that we placed along with our equipment, on top of the piano. We didn't come across this photo until earlier yesterday evening. After going through other photos and videos of the exact same room and area on top of the old piano. We have no solid explanation of what appears to be someone reaching for the old stuffed animal that we found up in the attic and placed on top of the piano earlier in the evening during our overnight visit. A few that we shared the photo with did also make mention that they firmly believe this to be some sort of energy... possibly from whomever was present within the parlor room while Eric was playing the piano. What an amazing capture of what really does appear to be someone reaching for the stuffed animal! The current owners have other information that suggests of a young girl that still resides within the old historic barnhouse. Could it be the little girl? I guess the only way one will ever find out... is in the afterlife. I am so glad to had captured such an amazing photo!
Talking about a fun way to make the time go by on my not-so-great days! I believe to have literally tapped into another part of my creative genes... videography!

At least I have been able to still stay productive over this weekend while putting together the fifth wig donation which will be going to Panama City, Panama later this summer. The Gastroparesis Awareness Campaign has been accepting new and gently used wigs, hair extensions and other hair accessories over the past 
four years. This will be our fifth donation to help bring miles of smiles to the beautiful women of Guatemala and Panama who suffer from hair loss due to various medication conditions. Their smiles truly say it all!

Did someone just say... JOURNEY?! Like... the rock group, JOURNEY?
You will never be a peaceful person trying to explain yourself to others.

We began our Valentine's Day bright and early this morning. A 6:30am wake up call to get up, get dressed and head out the door to brave the morning rush hour traffic. Rain+Ohio drivers= never arriving on time when in need to stick to a schedule. I dread making the trek across state lines, but sometimes it is what it is to see a few of my specialists. We still have a mess on our hands with a lot of confusion between our insurance company and the surgical facility. I think it is great that some specialists group together and invest into their own offices and surgical center. But it does make for a lot of great confusion and being in the dark when it comes to who covers and who doesn't cover private, physician owned surgical centers. My urologist works with the same group as my prior radiation oncologist. We were told 2 weeks ago that our insurance would cover the testing, surgery, biopsies and part of the 15 weeks worth of experimental outpatient treatment. But of course... yesterday we receive an entirely different message left on Eric's cell phone voicemail. 
Hey there! Yea you! Come join US on our new website! A Podcast-Blogcast of a little bit of this and a little bit of that!

This photo is of myself and our neighborhood sweetheart we named, Papa Kitty. We have recently opened our home to Papa during the cold winter months here in the country. If one could look into the eyes of a most lovable feline fur baby... it is indeed the eyes to the soul that tells such an incredible story.

Looks like mama deer and family are also taking it easy this morning here in the country... enjoying some berry flavored corn, diced apples and crushed acorns. 
feeding station. I like to say that he did it, "Big City Style!" Who would had anticipated for it to take literally 15 minutes to break open two blocks of hay and spread it out over the muddy area? I know... Eric the big CITY slicker! Bah~hahahahaha! It was absolutely hilarious! I thought I even heard the deer in the woods behind us laughing... hehehe
hehehe! 
So what's a gal to do? 
quizzical
I decided to finally answer numerous questions on what kind of liquid beverages and supplemental shake
For a few individuals over a decade ago that told me drinking SlimFast as long as I have would literally destroy my kidneys and other GI organs... I beg to differ. Per professionals, SlimFast will not destroy your GI organs nor kidneys. It is a very healthy alternative to those who suffer from GI distress, Gastroparesis or any other medical condition that does not allow one to consume a normal daily (solid food) diet.

We were also fortunate to be able to send everything in real time, as it happened, to the current owners. A 4th generation family of farmers with what definitely appears to be a very active house. The energy and spirit of the old historic farmhouse... still remains. The owners were nothing but shocked at the photos, videos and even audio of an elderly woman sighing as Eric attempted to play the piano. Hahahahaha! One audio in the basement of whom or whatever it was... later we realized it was a growl of some sorts. This information soon made sense after the owner informing us of a story with both of her children at a very young age, both separately drawling an image of what they had seen in the basement. Both siblings had no idea what the other was seeing, whether alone drawling on two different, yet separate occasions. I then began to ask if it was a male presence? I was then only told... not human, all I want to say, hint. We did pick up on a photo taken in the basement, pure darkness, no flash, yet the same piercing eyes were clearly seen in the basement. Do I believe in good spirits? Yes. Do I believe in bad spirits? Well... I know they do exist. But I also believe that they know those whom hold a special gift. They... it... could not harm myself. They could not harm us. But I advised Eric that we leave it alone and not go back in the basement. Leaving whatever alone as I clearly made it known to whatever it was with piercing eyes in the photo. Could turning a happy farmhouse into a dark, Halloween theatrics of sorts stir up this negative energy? I am sure it didn't help after they had to quickly shut down the attraction due to volunteers expressing fearful stories of things happening to them. Yet, were afraid to tell the owner in fear they would not be believed or as if they were lying. That haunted house then got permanently shut down. I believe it to be the proper response, but as well I also believe the Halloween decorations need to be taken down. The house needs to somehow be brought back to its original glory. 
The most energy and activity seemed to be isolated within the first floor. In between the living room and parlor room. An old piano, a mystery piano of sorts was the center of most odd, yet amazing things that happened during our stay. I asked the current owners, literally on four separate occasions, on who owned the piano. I never received an answer, so I will leave that question as it seems to remain... in the dark. Eric had a blast trying to remember how to play a piano. I was far too busy just standing, then taking a seat behind him with all the equipment running. Little did I know just how active the room would become, so full and alive of energy! Those who we felt slowly make their presence known as they welcomed us into a day and age where playing the piano was fun... a huge celebration among family! 
The original staircase and old chandelier mesmerized me... ever since our very first walk through of the old barnhouse property. It's no wonder since it seems others whom still reside there feel the exact same way. A most favorite part of the house that still remains. Being in the parlor room, felt as if time stood still, frozen in the moment of years gone by. I believe this part of the house is also fondly adored and still loved by the same female presence that we felt and seen during our stay. We both felt welcomed, although it didn't start that way. I think you first need to just be quiet and listen to the historic property. Sometimes... the best way to connect is just to start off saying nothing at all. Let history and the home speak for itself. Always has... always will. 
I believe that somehow, after we pass our spirit comes back to those places that brought us such happiness. Myself and Eric felt this way with whomever was with us during our stay. One selfie, literally distorted as if the female presence really did want to join us for some photo fun! We were not using any flash, only the beams of the moon peaking into the parlor room windows. If you ask me... its all pretty darn amazing!
