Hallelujah. The weekend is here and I can finally sleep in. OMG. This has been one long week with a few unexpected things happening. Everything is all fine and dandy now. Woohoo! The year of the horse. And the panda in the clip art picture, I guess? For now anyway. LOL 😂 😁🐎🐼🐴🙏🫶☮️🏆💖🌅🌨️🌟🦓😂✨🤠👍

First snow in Reno on the valley floor this year. This week has been tough for me. 3 medical appointments done, with one more tomorrow. I did get some good news from my medical team, so that's good. Onward, during the year of the horse! Think horsepower! 😁🐎☮️🫶🌨️👍✨

I'm eating my breakfast & watching YouTube videos of my favorite songs. I'm studying how the Superstars sing & do their presentation. This will give me some ideas on how I want to sing on a stage someday. Sure, I'm a dreamer. But a dream has to start somewhere. 🤔☕️🎶🌠🫶🐎☮️🕊🕯😁✨️

Health report. Today I got the great news I was hoping for. My doctor said my yearly medical exam numbers came back as near perfect as possible. A big difference from 10 months ago. 10 months ago I changed my diet and now my health is in line within the medical parameters that my doctor has for me.

I love social media. I've met some great people here & their animals too. I mostly follow accounts with animals because I like animals a lot. The love that animals give back to us is incredible and is a gift from God. On social media, we can support each other, too, all around the globe. 😊☕️🫶🌄☮️🐎🌠🕊🕯✨️🙏

Carly Simon has always been one of my favorite singer songwriters. I remember listening to her music when I was younger. Her music is soothing to the soul, resonates about life's experiences, & is just awesome to listen to & to dance to. Her songs You're So Vain & Anticipation are my favorites!

Today, on January 1st, 2026, I started the day by praying to God for people and animals, and for the world. And also giving thanks to God for my blessings. So the day has come and gone. Now it is nighttime. Before the end of this night I will pray to God for people and animals and for the world. 🙏☮️🌎

Today, on January 1st, I am reminded how fragile life is. A friend's mother passed away today. My friend was with her Mom throughout the night as 2025 became 2026. Her Mom had been a good mother, passing on good traits to her. The daughter praised her mother. We both prayed and cried together. 😢🙏💖🕊️☮️

2025 was a long tough year for me. Health-I had 2 medical issues last year with one of them lasting the entire year, and it is still with me. Soon that medical issue will be gone through proper healing. Music-last year I began writing the lyrics to 3 songs. That continues this year in 2026. 😁☕️🎶🫶🪩🎵🌠✨️

I'm watching this episode of The Midnight Special. This episode has so many country music stars. Loretta Lynn, Marty Robbins, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Rich, and many others. Amazing. Awesome!

I'm eating my dessert & typing my poem into my new smartphone. It's funny when a smartphone goes down, you can't get some old documents off of it. So, thankfully, I have my poem memorized. I'll type it into my new smartphone so I can send it out electronically to a client. OMG. 😁🙄🚁🐎☕😻🌠🎶🫶🦜🦉☮️🌅🪩✨

My medical appointment went well today. There is progress in the healing of my injured leg. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In the next 60 days my leg injury should be completely healed, finally. So now, here on New Year's Eve, I'm going to order a pizza for dinner. Oh yeah! 😁🍕☮️☕🪩🦜🌟🦉🌠✨

Today, on New Year's Eve, today is a medical day for me. And I am tired. But things need to be done today. So, now that my medical appointment is over, it's time to make some coffee and get motivated and put in the day. Oh yeah. Woo-hoo! 🤔☕️☕️😁🌄🎶🫶☮️🕊🌠😆🤣✨️🏞🎵🫶

As I'm eating my dinner, I'm watching some YouTube videos of 1960s Rock and Roll songs. Some songs I heard when I was a kid & some songs I've never heard before. Life has gone by 60 years since then. Amazing. As they say, "If walls could talk." Well, I'm glad walls can't talk. LOL. I love music. 😁☕☮️

Football. The Raiders are my team. I saw the Raiders in Oakland when I was a kid. My family had season tickets. In 2025, the Raiders placed last in their division. In 2026, I hope that the Raiders come back with a fighting winning spirit. Now I hope the Denver Broncos can win the Super Bowl. 💯🏈🌠😁👍

I'm watching YouTube videos of music from the 1960s. This music led into the Rock and Roll era of the 1970s and beyond and more fame and fortune than the 60s. The music of the 60s was just as good, but things changed economically. And look where we are today. I still like the 60s. I was there. 🤔☕️🎶🌠✨️

Everyone's posting how they're walking out of 2025 & into 2026. 2025 has been one of the toughest years of my life. But I kept moving forward. Don't give up. You can take a break, but don't give up. And in 2025 I started writing what may end up as one of the greatest songs ever. To be continued. 😁🕊🎶

How funny. I found a YouTube channel of the Looney Tunes cartoons that I grew up with. I wasn't even looking for these cartoons. So I watched a Christmas cartoon here tonight. It was funny and it brought back a lot of good Holiday memories. 😁🎄🤔☕️🦌☃️🦉❄️🫶☮️🕊🌠✨️✅️👍

This is how I watch YouTube from my phone. It's been a long week. I'm still doing 3 medical appointments each week. So today, after my medical appointment, I just relaxed most of the day and watched a few videos. I got some groceries delivered, too. And ate food. OMG. 🤔☕️🍛🥗🎄☃️🦌🦉✅️☮️🫶✨️👍

Good morning, Bluesky Universe. It is Monday morning. OMG. I really wanted to sleep in more but I have a medical appointment today. Bad hair day too. Just kidding about the bad hair. OMG. Ugh. Time marches on. OMG. Time for breakfast. OMG. 🙄☕🦌🌲🦉🫶☮️🌠☃️😁✌️✨

My Army flag that I use as an indoor type doorway partition. LOL. Long story. I've eaten my dinner tonight, which was a gigantic plate of pizza & steak. Beverages were coffee & water. Now, I'm going to rehearse (sing) a song that I created about a cat. I have a few animal songs, none published yet.

Every photo has a story. Photos are priceless. A snapshot in time. When I took this photo that day I didn't feel good but the photo came out good. If you look closely, this is my profile pic. Reversed and filtered. In the photo I'm wearing my US Army Staff Sergeant rank and my military ribbons.
