Average Kimberly, Junkyard Jim and the big pain in the butt.

 If I had the ability to draw, I would draw you a 

Picture of Junkyard Jim, surrounded by old cars, with a big 

German shepherd dog biting his bum.  If there is an actual person who reads this blog and if you have any artistic talent please draw this for me.  I do not want to use AI to make my drawings for my blog. Since I can’t draw you will have to imagine junkyard Jim and his dog, the big pain in the butt. 

The big pain in the butt has been biting junkyard Jim for 4 months now. Despite getting three different steroid shots and doing physical therapy, junkyard Jim is still in pain. 

The pain in the butt, has taken over average Kimberly’s spot in the bed.  She has been sleeping on the big comfy couch for 4 months. She desperately wants the pain to go away. She wants to sleep in her bed.  She wants her husband to go back to work. She wants life back to normal. 

Thanks for reading.  I don’t give AI companies permission to use any of my blog posts for training your AI 🤖 bots.  

I had 60,000 views last month and I am quite sure it’s all just AI scraping. Because I know I’m average and boring.

Average Kimberly.

Average Kimberly completes 30 days of no fast food!

I have gone more than 30 days 
Without getting takeout food.
This was hard, but I learned a lot.
I have some new recipes.
I am in my second month of no takeout food.
Hopefully this helps me be healthier.


This month I am also starting no
Sweet treats.
Slowly working towards being healthier with my 
Food choices.

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.
