June 1

800 picking field peas today. Kids get to go swimming.

1000 I decided to join them after a while. LJ disappointed we didn’t get more peas. Can come back on Thursday and pick all the veggies we want bc they’re done. Whew! Thank you, Lord for the abundance. May have to buy more jars & rearrange pantry.

Pool felt so good on my sore, crampy, achy muscles. Helped them relax quite a bit.

Joe serious about building deck with boys. I’m happy too. Gonna get outside place to relax and enjoy. Praying for wisdom and safety during process.

1230 came home to rest a little while eating lunch then work on putting up veggies. 8 trays dehydrating zucchini. No energy to can tonight.

330 Joe asked me to take car to shop to get tired checked out. Can feel tension in air between races. Almost can cut with knife. It hurts my nerves and makes me want to cry for their souls.

One man came in yelling at man behind counter bc they were booked up and not able to take him today. Another man been watching video after video on the injustice recently happened building his anger up. Now he’s yelling at man behind counter bc he’s been sitting in waiting too long..

I politely asked him to calm down bc he’s acting like that in front of my daughter. He started yelling his case at me. I explained there were better ways to handle it. He told me if I was afraid and didn’t like his actions I could just leave or stay home and hide. I told him No I’m not leaving. He told me it was his right to act like that and he didn’t really care about what I thought.

I kindly told him I’m sorry he felt that way but there is someone who cares. Jesus love you died on cross for you and wants you to go to heaven with Him. He said he didn’t care about that. I told him you might not right now but one day you will.

He said few more things as to get his last word in but he shut up after that. He has now left the premises.

I was relieved when he left bc that situation could’ve gone a number of ways. Thank Lord for His protection.

1000 tried to work more on next character trait but I’m having trouble keeping eyes open.

Feet are ice cold to touch. Eating handful of dark chocolate covered almonds.

415 oh boy only have 15 minutes to be out the door to church. Took couple hours for feet to warm up (covered in blanket). Listening to radio to attempt keep nerves calm. I’m emotional basket case. Song made me cry. I feel rushed don’t handle it well.

Thankful to wake to another day. If only I could understand why I become so lethargic after stressing to focus on something. Why it causes so much pain afterwards? Why it makes me so grumpy?

 

950 Dr visit with Chiropractor. Acupuncture – 16 needles on back then 6 needles in front. Most of needles felt like I was being zapped. One needle my nerve grabbed on and stung going in. Dr was surprised how quickly it grabbed on.

Mentioned few spots are gateway (can’t remember verbage).

Looked up acupuncture chart

https://www.acupunctureproducts.com/free_acupuncture_charts.html

Very interesting…

LV2, LV3, ST38, LI4, TW5, BL17, SP21, GB20 (these are spots I remember – I know I’m missing some)

Lymphatics, Nervous System, Shoulder, Face & Head, Hand, Blood & Blood Chemistries, Master Lou Point, All Cerebral Disorders.

He’s basically giving me a tune up. Lol.

He also used some kind of Gadget to measure the electrical current flowing through my parts of my body. Some parts were overflowing exponentially, some were fairly normal, and some had no current at all. It was cool to hear. I’ll have to look that gadget up later.

Asked about my headaches. Told him I have one all the time but I’ve learned to overlook and work past it most of time. When I focus hard on something, it causes migraine, blurred focus, blurred vision except yday I chose to eat dark chocolate covered almonds which helped keep migraine at bay instead of taking poison meds.

He said chocolate has caffeine which stimulates the nerves and almonds have magnesium. Though it’d probably make you want to eat more it is better natural alternative to medicines.

Note to self: do not wear mascara to chiropractor apt. Acupuncture caused tears today making mascara run.

When Dr came back in he asked how I got my black eye bc I didn’t have it when I first came in. Lol

Adjusted my feet, ankles, legs, hips, back, hands, & neck.

Dr seems really interested in my improving.

10am Joe took me to thrift store to shop. We were there to look for a dresser for Jordon but they didn’t have one that would fit in their room. Chose to look around. Asked if I could go look for a dress. I had tried a dress on over top my clothing but was unsure how it looked on me. I turned around to look for Joe’s opinion but a lady was shopping near by instead. She asked why I was shopping for a dress. I proceeded to tell her. She said that in her opinion I needed either a black dress or a solid color. Back in the day when men preached they wore all black to be taken seriously. She said I needed to be taken seriously so I should find a black dress. She then asked me to share part of my lightning story. During the conversation, she told me she could sense the presence of God was with me. She said that she was amazed to hear how much God is working in my life already. She proceeded to help me find a dress. It fit perfect. Thank you, Lord! What a humbling and encouraging experience.

130p Really sleepy. Tummy cramping bad. Going to lay down for half hour.

Dr Young believes! He was very thorough. He asked bunch of questions especially of neurological factors. Amazed that all learning (visual, auditory, & kinetic) is difficult for me post lightning strike. Said I should’ve been seeing a neurologist all this time. We told him I did. He gave puzzled look then Joe proceeded to tell him what happened. He repeated and what did he mean? Joe explained. He was aghast. Said he should be reported. He agreed that no one should joke like that.

He said I was going to be a challenge because I have a lot of things going on that need addressed. He did acupuncture treatment today. Placed needles in 3 places in legs, 2 in hands, 1 in chest, & 1 in head. Going to do shotgun approach for master reset of my system. Said reason my tongue has white patches is the fact that my system is overloaded with mucus.

First needle in lft foot shot pain all way up my leg. Once he got all needles in (12 in all) if I moved my hands or feet it would shot pain through that region. After about 10 minutes, my lft hand and arm started going numb. Joe let Dr know. Dr came and took needles out in arms, chest, & head. Left needles in legs & feet.

Makes my soul just want to cry in adoration of God’s beautiful creation of which I’m unworthy.

Feeling tingling chilling sensation in neck traveling down spine to low back.

 

Going to start D.E. to see if it’ll ease some of this pain naturally. I loathe having to take pain pills. They have so many ill side effects.
