An updated what is going on in my life.
Hello, I hope you are having a good week. I wanted to explain why I haven’t been posting lately. The truth is I’m having a difficult time writing articles for my blog because I can’t concentrate, which is related to anemia.
The good news is I am finally scheduled to receive my iron infusions. I have waited nearly two months. Once my iron levels return to normal, I’m hoping writing will become easy, and my energy will return too.
Have good day,
Alexandra
Giving a brief update on what is going on in my life.
Wow! I can’t believe it is February!
Unfortunately, once again my surgery didn’t go as planned. I couldn’t be put under anesthesia safely. So, I am at home recovering, waiting on the Lord and my doctor on what will happens next.
There will be no Sunday Talk podcast this Sunday. I don’t have a voice, and my throat hurts.
I am planning to return my writing next week and move forward on my projects.
My apologies that I went dark this week. I am in the process of getting ready for my surgery. I may be offline this week. For the latest, you can to Twitter @ AMstorytelling.
Thank you.
I will be discussing changes to my Blog and talking about my health.

Did I accomplish my goal of keeping Christmas Chaos away? Last week, I discussed my goal of preventing chaos in my kitchen by washing my dishes regularly.
Yes, I did for the first week.
On Christmas weekend, it was bitter cold and blizzard conditions slammed into my area changing my Christmas plans. This year, I am blessed to have two Christmas celebrations. We had a nice Christmas dinner and enjoyed watching Christmas movies on Christmas Day. It wasn’t stressful and drama free.
Before Christmas weekend; it was a hectic week for my household. With a blizzard, running last minutes errands, me dealing with low iron, and extra appointments. It was chaotic. I found the strength to persevere.
By the end of the day, I was exhausted. When I looked at the counter, my dirty glasses taunted me. In ADD fashion. I ignored them. Oblivious to their existence. So, I chose to focus on working on a hot spot, the kitchen table. I sorted through items, and mail, and put things back in their designated places.
I had already decided if the dishes weren’t done by Friday. Friday was the deadline for the dirty dishes and the main priority that day.
Friday came along with the blizzard and there was nothing else for me to do. And so that morning, I decided to wash dishes. Because I didn’t want to wash a whole bunch of dishes on Christmas Eve.
Once I got the dishes all caught up, I was able to stay on top of the dishes during Christmas weekend. And that created a stress-free, drama-free environment. I enjoyed Christmas with my family which was wonderful. And today, waking up to a nice clean kitchen was a tremendous feeling.
Now, I’ll just stay on top of things, by staying in my routine with the dishes, when there’s a pile, and monitoring the hot zone, my kitchen table. the main celebration for Christmas is this weekend, which is New Year’s weekend.
How did you manage Christmas Chaos this year? I would love to read about it in the comment section below.
