BITTERSWEET NOVEMBER
Looking back on this last day of November and the last day of NaBloPoMo, I can see that I made mistakes, but I learned also. November has been a whirlwind. Right after signing up for NaBloPoMo, my doctor’s found not one, but two, new chronic illnesses; Chronic Kidney Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis. This turned into a lot of tests and more doctor visits for November.
I thoroughly enjoyed NaBloPoMo. I started a bit late and ended up playing catch-up for most of the month. I’m thankful for NaBloPoMo, because it gave me something to concentrate on; something to keep my mind busy, so I didn’t worry about everything that was happening around me.
More than likely, I will not participate in a meme for December; there is just too much to get done during the count down to Christmas. Plus, I have more doctor appointments, more tests, and in addition, more shopping, wrapping, cooking, etc…
I’m sure you will see me poking my head in, when I can, taking a look around BlogHer and posting on my BlogHer page.
Please come and visit sometime.
Sorry to hear you are dealing with two new chronic illnesses. I hope both turn out to be easy to manage.

I also started late…. Plus missed a few (several??) days in there that I just never was able to catch up on.

It was still a great meme and I probably will try it another month; just not December. 🙂

Jumped gun on “post comment” button…. Enjoy reading your blogs, Debbie.
Hope all turns out for the best in terms of the 2 illnesses/diseases. Not really good with comforting words, thoughts/prayers, etc.
