It was not major surgery, but it was surgery that needed to happen before I got much sicker and the infection got much worse.<\/p>\n<p>I am happy to say today that the hole in my body from the surgery has finally healed and closed up entirely. It healed well and without complications. I took very good care of it the surgeon said, so thankfully in that I avoided any infections that could have happened in the process.\u00a0 I have a large scar in it&#8217;s place. I am happy to not be taking care of it on a constant basis and to be bleeding constantly as I was before the surgery. It also made me very sick for a while, as the infection was in my body and causing me all sorts of problems.<\/p>\n<p>Now that it&#8217;s healed up, I&#8217;ve had some bouts of nausea, vomiting and sickness that may or may not be related to the recovery, but overall I am doing much much better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook<\/strong><br \/>\nI do have a Facebook page for mimitchi.com, I do not post on it very much. In truths I am not entirely sure what I want to post there, but I know from following other pages that I do not want to be annoying to the people that follow the page. So when I do post, I try not to post too much to read or too often. People like to glance over things, not read a novel and they don&#8217;t like to be bombarded with too much stuff either.<\/p>\n<p>On a related topic though.. I have had a personal facebook page for around seven years now but I am not a very active facebooker. I post jokes, repost other page posts, funny stuff mostly and sometimes news. Occasionally I post pics from games I play or other related things. Usually I just repost funny things I see from other places or gaming stuff. I am not one of those people that keeps a live journal on facebook of my personal every day life. Sometimes I write something, but mostly I just chat privately with friends for more personal topics.<\/p>\n<p>There is one thing about me that doesn&#8217;t seem so common with others, is that I do take the term &#8220;friends&#8221; literally and only add people that I know and trust and would call a friend on some level. I don&#8217;t add people that I do not talk to on a regular basis and essentially don&#8217;t add anyone I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>I am a very private person by nature &#8211; which is kind of a funny thing to say for someone who blogs about their personal life on occasion and blogged for many years when I was younger too.<\/p>\n<p>In that, I occasionally get requests from people who want to be on my personal facebook page. This comes in email and through the mimitchi.com facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>I have thought a lot about this topic and am not so sure I want to open my personal page up to the entire world to be on there for various reasons. I know people are just being kind and sincere in their requests and are probably very nice people. I just don&#8217;t know really how to go about that. I have made friends through mimitchi.com who are on that list of friends though, people I have known for years and chatted in email and on the chat boards for a long time when I had them up and running. I am not even sure why anyone is interested in truths. Most of what I write goes here in the blog. I do not do much writing on facebook and the things I do talk about.. I&#8217;m not so sure would interest people since I am into things now that I do not\/have not talked about much before on the site. It is a topic for me to think about. If you have thoughts on that, feel free to comment below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr. Spider Origins<\/strong><br \/>\nSpeaking of Facebook, my original first writings about Mr. Spider started on facebook about three years ago. I would write these funny posts for friends and they were such a big hit with people. These letters to Mr. Spider began when I moved to a location that has more spiders than usual and still does.<\/p>\n<p>All of the stories you read, while edited to be dramatically humorous, are actually based off of real things that have happened to me in my encounters with various spiders. I decided to gather up all of my previous stories I wrote on Facebook and publish them here for others to enjoy, while writing new ones as I have new encounters with spiders.<\/p>\n<p>I have gotten only good responses about the Mr. Spider posts and intend to keep writing more of them and keep publishing them, hopefully at least once per month.<\/p>\n<p>I seem to write about mostly serious topics here on the blog, so I think some humor to break up the seriousness is a nice thing indeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spicy Soup<\/strong><br \/>\nI know this is pretty random, but I love spicy foods. I have recently added Ghost Pepper sauce to my list of things I eat on a regular basis, that is how much I love spice. That stuff is amazing, I might add. I also have always enjoyed cup of noodles soup &#8211; I know I know.. it has very little nutritional value but it is just one of those Things I enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>In that, combining spice and noodle soup is definitely a happy thing for me. So I have to mention a soup I tried only a couple of months back but I have really grown fond of it. I am having it for breakfast right now as I write this post so you know.. I can&#8217;t help but to write about it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00BEIKRBY\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00BEIKRBY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=mysticfortres-20&amp;linkId=6BUKPEYKADK4LCEV\" target=\"_blank\">Nongshim Shin Noodle Black<\/a> is a cup of noodles that is amazing and outstanding. The creamy spice flavoring is one of my favorites I have ever tasted. Definitely not for someone who is sensitive to spice though, it has a nice spicy hot flavor to it. For my taste buds it is perfect, but if a person doesn&#8217;t normally have spicy things I am not so sure they would enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I just had to mention my most favorite soup of the moment. Fall is here and winter is well on the way so I am especially enjoying having soup at this time of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Closing&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nOverall, things are going okay for me. I have been meditating, which has helped with some of my anxieties, and I also try to stay focused on more positive things in life and the things I am grateful for in this world. I try to keep a distance from poisonous people and am holding close to my heart those that are true friends.<\/p>\n<p>I have dreams and wants for the future, that is something I have not had for many years. Some people suck the life out of you, unfortunately my health and energy bar was drained away for a long time before I realized things needed to change.<\/p>\n<p>It is my sincerest desire to make the next 35 years happier and more fulfilling than the first 35 years of my life. In 2011 everything changed. In 2012 everything changed again and I might add.. for the better of everything. Life has begun. I still have a lot to work through, but I am not walking into my future blind.. nor am I walking into my future alone.<\/p>\n<p>Enough of me for now.<\/p>\n<p>A little reminder to live a little.. be unique, be different, don&#8217;t conform. Paint your art on a canvas in the dark, eat your soup with a fork, wear your slippers out to your favorite restaurant, and most definitely&#8230; take care of yourself and those you love.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&#8220;To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.\u201d\u00a0 ~Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 5am and time to write out some randomness.
