I’ve got so much going on in my life this month in November. I have a lot of work going on here at Pad53 including trying to surpass my post count for October 2023 which was 237 posts published. As of this note, I’ll have 229 posts published in November 2023. So I’m not very far from my goal and I think I will do it. I am working on a posts index which is essentially list of all posts on my blog. I’m hoping it will help to make this website more efficient to use. It’s going to take me awhile to finish it though, considering there are currently over 400 posts.

I am moving to a new apartment. I didn’t want to move, especially since it will be more expensive, but it has become a necessity due to family drama. I won’t go into details. Even though I don’t want to move, I’m kind of looking forward to getting into a new place for awhile. I’ll have a new pad so to speak in terms of living space, and I’m going to nickname my new apartment “Pad53” in honor of my blog here. It’s fitting since I launched this blog this year, and will be moving this year, and both the notebook theme and housing theme fits the name of this website.

I have had to cancel medical appointments this month due to moving. Actually I didn’t cancel them. I just didn’t go. The scheduling was crazy, and I need all the time I can get for packing and moving. I will have to try and get these appointments rescheduled. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it on this blog before yet (I try not to go into deep details about my personal life usually), but I will in this post. For about 20 years I have dealt with developing kidney stones. If you don’t know, and I hope you don’t have to deal with this yourself, those of you who may be reading this, kidney stones are extremely painful, and usually require a medical procedure to remove them or help them pass through your system. I recently had one starting in July of this year, and had a procedure done for it in September. Now the doctors want to do an xray on my throat to see if I may have a thyroid problem that could be causing me to develop kidney stones in my kidneys. If this is the case, it will require another surgery which I’m not in any way looking forward to.
