Good day Readitizens!
It is a sunny and warm, no, HOT Friday lunch time. How is everyone?
And so it happened. The lazy bug, yes that was not a typo, the lazy bug bit me last night and I ended up with no month-ender article. But that's fine, right? I'll make that up in October. I am quite a bit off lately no spark of imagination. If there is, they are only suitable for short posts.
How was September? Seems it is an unspoken thing every month end and month start.
September was honestly overwhelming.*nodding my head here as I try to let that settle in for truth* . Both good and bad. We get by with a cup of coffee (who am I kidding? LOTS of coffee cups), a lot of prayers and a lot of looking up to Jesus.
He did, after all, gave us a forewarning:
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 , NKJV
It was not long ago when I posted this in noise.

Then after that a lot of news came in and it was hard to stay thinking straight most days.
One time, I woke up and I heard my dad talking over the phone telling his friend, "Sometimes I do not even want to check on my messenger. News these days are always that of someone being taken home to heaven. If not for old age, other sickness, mostly COVID case."
I thought I would be numb but every news still stings. The only comfort I have is that they are no longer suffering and to some who passed on, I know I will see them soon for when it is my turn to go home.
You best be visiting these awesome souls! Their written thoughts are stunning!
But the best thing about it is that I know God is still in control despite all the conundrum. I praise God for the healing He granted the household of my shoti - my younger brother. Also the household of other friends and colleagues, even our good neighbor in the other place that we used to live in. We still frequent in that area to get our stuff, mails and bills and they gave us heads up that we should not go there yet. I also recall how many times I've been spared for possible exposures during this month.
So far that is what's up with 2 of my Five F's - Friends and Family.
Health-wise, hmm. I have been doing a lot of stretches - in my imagination. Hahah. I haven't jogged, biked, or moved a muscle other than, getting off the bed, doing minor chores, sitting down, getting up again, walking around the dining table which is not huge.
I've managed to pump in some air on my bike some few weeks back but that 27 is not enough it needs 45. I ran out of battery. So you know how when momentum gets broken, nothing happens? This is that. I need to get it recharged.
On the side of entertainment, the easy entertainment would be Netflix. I've lined up a lot of to be watched because it seems there is a lot of trending series these days. Squid Game being one of it. But even though I am a series fanatic, I've also lost that appetite to really catch up. I just want to be entertained. But even during watching, my mind flies off elsewhere. Haha.
Games? I've gone back to playing ML, again. Just for breaking the loopy cycle lately. Also, after losing too many times in Splinterlands. As for pew pew pew, consider that gone for now and waiting for how the developers plan to recover. Haha.
Music. I've only strummed my guit for only few times last month. Played the ivory one time when I was in my house but not too long also. Need to get these fingers working on some music too. That will help in getting my happy hormones up.
Ah. As for Finances. Yikes. I don't do monthly wrap-ups but I do keep personal tracking for both noise and read. I, again, felt that sudden dip few weeks back. The old story of buying at a price you thought was low enough and then the market dipping lower after few hours happened. Ouch. So need to get that green up and up.
Earnings went to bills and loan payments and other adulting stuff. Both platforms have been of very good help. The community is just awesome so let say Readitizens and Noise-itizens thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Let's continue on making the most of both. More stories and noise-making!
Sensible or not! Woohoo!
I really have no concrete "read goal" for this month. Save for making sure I have a start of the month and and end of the month article, I plan to enjoy every moment of typing in my thoughts - fiction or not. Who knows if my head gets a little too chatty, I can write more. Not! or maybe..
Alrighty October! We are ready and set for you. Let's all strap up and enjoy the ride, yeah?
The best is YET to come.
P.S.
Thankful for @FarmGirl for posting her Five F's article. That got me somewhere in the middle of my blabbering.
Better get some thoughts off my head now and maybe be writing better later.. .argh!
