Updates, musings and rambles from the Burgher (good, bad and uglier)

So, I know long time no see AGAIN and so sorry to let you guys down. I have been EXTREMELY busy. With my son in school, work, trying to catch up on housework...those of you that follow me know that I have chronic pain so stress does make it much worse! etc etc.

Let's see hmmm, good. I went Goodwill hunting and scored Adidas memory foam slides for $6 never used. I also scored my sons winter shirts for next year, just need to catch up on pants. This is a good time of year to clearance shop and do goodwill..stores and people are trying to make space and clean out their closets, per-se. 

I,after almost six years, finally got full time at work. Good. Of course there is a catch with that..it's Wal-mart..haha. I had to open my availability which is 7am to 11 pm and boy did they take advantage of that. It's going to be really stressful and exhausting but the extra money will be worth it! 

Bad and good...my son had a really bad cold but he is better, but it seems my mom got it. My 92 year old grandpa has a severe flue and is not doing well. 

Anyway, enough for today. I do have some rambles in my head...which ones do you want? Saving money? Being giving? etc?

Also need to support my goodwill habit so here is a link to swagbucks, an extremely easy way to earn  gift cards or paypal money, if you are interested I can give you tips that are quick...I average about $5 a month on there. PLEASE USE MY LINK! God bless and have a great week!

Updates, still not feeling great

Hello! I finally got over my cold but am having issues with liver enzymes. I got an ultrasound yesterday, been having bad stomach and lower back pain. Plus exhaustion even after taking off work. Since, for once in my life, I posted personal stuff on Facebook here is the posts, so you know what is going on. I appreciate all of you and your thoughts and prayers. If anyone needs prayer let me know! God bless and have a good day! 


Dec 10:

Normally don't like to post personal stuff on Facebook, but this time I am really worried. I have a possible physical issue, a big one. Going in for further testing tomorrow. Please keep me in your thoughts and or prayers, thanks

Later Dec 10(was in ER)
I want to thank all of you for your support. Still in pain n blood work totally different than last week. So the ER  sent me home after seven or so hours or so. Going to primary tomorrow hopefully find what is wrong

Dec 11 ;

Hi, thanks again for thoughts and prayers. I go to my primary today and if she says it's nothing, I am calling in the big guns ---my mother and if that doesn't work (hello, mama bear doesn't matter how old the "child is") my aunt Jackie Mastrocesare who happens to be a nurse. Something is the matter. I don't feel good and I want to cry. This coming from the person with bad arthritis that stands on her ...large butt all day at work and work that said butt off. (I hope lol) So when I don't feel good-in fact much worse something is the matter.
Please keep praying. God can heal, but God also gave doctors brains to use. Thankfully my new primary, though young, LISTENS to me. This is what started the testing process in the first place, that showed the original o\way off blood counts.
Sorry about the  novel, but you all have been so good to me it makes me feel wonderful to know I am really cared about and Mike Doyle and Andrea M Zierath you both better message me! and Lynmarie Halliday Moore I will message you ttfn I'm off


Later Dec 11:
I am becoming one of those annoying tmi posters but update___going to get an ultrasound next week

Oh my goodness! It's been forever and I am very sorry about that. Life has been hectic and crazy. I have been cleaning, ATTEMPTING to catch up on my cleaning at any rate. Plus work, plus freelancing etc etc etc. 
Anyway, I have been doing well on my savings. My pain is through the roof, my doctors nurse forgot to send in my refill for my pain med and needless to say it works. My WHOLE body hurts its horrible! 
So, just stopping by to say hello and complain..hahah 
How are you? 

Hello all sorry its been so long since I kept your posted! Life has been as the kids would say...cray. Anyhoo working tons of hours due to the Holidays black friday etc. My dad is home and doing better but not best. Thanks all for your continued prayers! 
I have so much on my plate and my pain is flaring up but yet I know I am still blessed! Have to keep my eye on my goals. After the first I am limiting my availability at WAlmart. cant work the crazy shifts like work til 11 pm and back at 7am anymore. Just cant do it! 
Anyway, how are you? What are you doing to meet your goals and how are you doing at being frugal? keep me updated! 

Updates, complaints and positives from the rambling Burgher

Hi guys so lets get the complaint out of the way first. My back is out and is killing me. Went to the er and got prednisone and Vicodin and its not touching a thing.

Ok so on to the positives! I have a $30 check from send earnings coming woot! My work at www.menacerecords.net is rewarding, fun and pays well! I had an awesome Aldi trip and even got some clearance items there! 

Any way trying not to type to much due to back but will be on and off throughout the day! 

ttfn! and God bless! 

Rambles and Hacks for Life from the Burgher

Hi all! Know its been a while here but just keeping you updated. i had a death in the "family" my blood family. I was adopted and now have re-connected with a lot of family, including my brother. Its amazing and has opened me up to drop a lot of the baggage, it was devastating but also a golden opportunity to drop a heavy load.

Any way here is a few tips that I keep forgetting to tell you. For those two heavy boxes of powder dish soap or laundry soap, save a creamer package or something similar. Just fill it up, make sure every one knows what it is and it makes it easy and neat to pour into the spouts. Great f or those of us with chronic pain. Also, if you get stuck on gunk anywhere put soap  and a bit of water and take an expired drivers license or credit card and it scrapes right off. Reduce and reuse! 
God bless!

Ramble's from the Burgher

Ok so you are stuck with the rambler again! I am sick, stuffed up and sore so this is not going to be my best effort ever. Anyway, got that all out!
On to the rambler! I just finished several orders on fiverr and I just had one guy order Five orders! weee! That is good...but wait...there is more! That means I have to do the work. Oh well! Some one has to do it!
Other thoughts didn't do to bad on my monthly grocery shopping. Saved probably $50 give or take which is good. If I wasn't so sore I could've done better, but every little bit helps! I wish I could finally find that one(I am finally ready:) to help with finance so I could focus more on my writing and less on being out and about making myself sore. I am good enough at saving money to make it easier for a 1 income household to thrive.


Anyway done with rambling! how are you?

Back to blogger and my new mission!

Hello all I am back! I tried word press for a while and just did not like it. So back here now! I will be bringing over my posts from there to keep you updated as to what has been going on in my life. 

I have decided to start making people aware of chronic pain issues and arthritis issues. There is more than 100 types! Rheumatoid, lupus, psoriac and more! Fibromyalgia is another form of chronic pain also.

I have an autoimmune arthritis, the doctor is narrowing down which one. That means that my immune systems attacks healthy cells and not just germs. It is hard, I am undergoing intense treatment and will be starting Humors , it is especially hard since I am on my feet all day for work! 

I hope to help and offer support and get support in return. I will cover a variety of topics including life updates, frugality's and how to deal with the pain.

What do you have to deal with and how can we all help?
