Cold, cold, cold, but CATS!

 Howdy!

Today's an interesting day!  

Most of the United States is now covered in massive snow/snowstorms.  The southwestern corner of Missouri is cold, but no snow.  Very sunny.  Yesterday, there was some thunderstorms, but that was it. 

A lot of people are home as a lot of places closed ahead of the snowstorm advance warning!  

Now, there's something to be said for having advance warning, especially if people take advantage of it and make good use of it.  Prepping houses, yards, etc, to avoid as much damage as possible.  Spend time with family.  

I love spending time with Purple.  He's my family in my little apartment. 

It's nearing March 8, the deathday of my husband.  It'll be 3 years.  I am finding that I am becoming a bit teary lately but I think that's because I haven't really completely processed the fact that I don't have him on Earth anymore.  That I'm beginning to really grasp the magnitude of my loss.  

I go by the principle that it's okay to not be okay.  The only caveat is that I do not harm myself nor others if I'm not feeling okay.  

Not many months after his passing, I went and got a tattoo on my left arm.  I wanted something to represent him and also to add a semi-colon.  Many of you know what the semi-colon means in this context.  Ye, I lost my husband, but my story continues.  

It's been almost exactly 3 years to the day.  My story has been chaotic and probably will remain chaotic for a while longer.  This apartment is not a good place to live and I am working on finding a new place that is much better maintained and much safer.  I had hoped that this place would be my final move, but it seems not to be fated.  It seems that there is one more move left.  After that, I hope that I am done with moving!  

I've adjusted to life without my husband.  A lot of problems, yes, but also a lot of good things, as well.  Just matters is how you CHOOSE to view things!

Intro!

Hullo!

This is my third attempt at blogging.  Let's see if I do any better this time.  :)

I'm Sunny.  I have a tendency to babble, to have really oddball random thoughts.  I like to think things out loud, so to say.  It's a good way to see what's percolating in my brain.  

Tonight, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to blog again, that I have plenty of thoughts in my head that might be interesting to others (and certainly to myself!) so ... here I am.

You might now be wondering who I am, aside from the little blurb that doesn't really say much about me.

Welp... I am Deaf.  I was born deaf into a family full of hearies, although my deafness is genetic.  So yah, some posts will likely talk about what it's like to be Deaf.  What it's like to be out there in a world meant for people who can hear.  

Another big thing about myself is that I have epilepsy. There's so much about epilepsy that isn't really known, yet is known.  Paradoxical, yes, but there it is.  It's also why there is such a big stigma around having epilepsy.  Yes, this means I will be talking about this here and there.  

Not much else for now other than to mention that I have a wonderful tuxedo boy named Purple Sparkles (Purple, for short) and that I am a widow. 

 I love movies, tv shows, and movies.  So I'll probably babble on and on about what I've watched or read.  

A word of caution:  there are times where I may miscommunicate things and it may not make sense to you.  I'm not the best at communicating myself to others.  I want to improve upon this for the future, to make my life better, and to learn more about myself.  This blog is intended to be learning about myself, but I offer it to others in the hopes that they may learn more about themselves.  That is how I have been learning about myself; through others.  Movies, tv shows, books, chatting, the oddball random thought, whatever pops up - that's what inspires my thoughts.  So yes, sometimes, it may seem weird.  

I am proud to be me, whoever that may be.  

Sunny
