Average Kimberly leans life lessons from a Little Frog

I got this cute little frog figurine 

From Barnes and noble. 

I thought it would be possible,

But sadly it only sits in one position.

I take the little frog

With me and take photos of it.

It came with a little book and there is 

Also a coloring book.

It has self care quotes.

It’s ok to not always feel positive.

I think I needed to read that.  Lately I have 

Days where I feel crabby. And that’s ok.

Average Kimberly, Junk Yard Jim and the big pain in the butt... How Junk Yard Jim Progressing.

 

 

I wish I could look in my crystal ball 🔮 

And know when Junkyard Jim would be better.

Last week we went back to the pain doctor and 

Jim got a sonogram shot in his S1 joint.

He really did not want this shot, but it happened.

While at the doctors office on the 8th floor 

The fire alarm went off.  We almost had 

To walk down 8 flights of stairs.  Jim

Can’t walk down stairs, so I was very glad when 

They realized it was a test and not a real fire issue.

Jim has been getting better each day since the shot. 

He is able to walk 14 minutes on the treadmill.

The week before he could do 5 minutes.

Hopefully he will be even better soon.

Average Kimberly's Canva creations.

I enjoy putting my photos in Canva

Templates.

Then I add quotes or tell stories or share ideas.

These are nail art ideas I might try.

I got the ideas from Pinterest.

Making pages on Canva reminds me of

When I used to make scrapbooks.

But I don’t have to cut and paste things.

@Average Kimberly’s favorite quotes

I’m trying hard to be centered in this 

Crazy World and with caring for my hurt husband.

I try to read uplifting books and focus on 

Positive things.

I also listen to meditation music at bed time.

Limiting the time I spend on computers looking at social media is one of my goals.  It just drains you.

I always think of God when I am outside in nature.

The beauty of the world amazes me.  I also think he could come back and fix all the issues we have created here.

That is what I sometimes wish for. The return of God and the world being restored to its glory.

Average Kimberly is learning to Go with the Flow in the Rapids of life

 

My word of the year is Flow. Lately I have been

Wondering if I am in the rapids of life or 

Stuck on a giant rock, possibly with rapids around me.

My Husband has been hurt since April.

He is slowly getting better.  But I am the

One doing pretty much all work around the house,

Plus working full time.

He has been barely able to walk, and in

Almost constant pain.

Back pain is not fun my friends.

I just keep going.

The whole world seems crazy lately.

Average Kimberly, Junkyard Jim and the giant pain in the Butt

 Here is the update on Junkyard Jim.  The Steroid shots to the back did not fix him.  So if you are someone who was fixed be thankful.  He is now doing physical therapy and taking two pain medication.  In two weeks he could be getting a different steroid injection.  He is hoping this will not happen.

He is doing a little better.  But recovery still seems far away.

Average Kimberly, Junkyard Jim and the giant pain in the butt continues

 When you live with someone who is in pain everyday 

The days seem to blur together.  Junkyard Jim is walking around a little better, he was actually walking without the cane yesterday.  The problem is he can only walk for a little bit before the giant pain in the buttocks comes to get him.

I no longer look for a giant miracle, I look for small miracles.

He is walking better, he is up and around a bit more. It’s a slow process.  

Keep him in your prayers please.
