Share Your World – March 5, 2018

March 5, 2018 Cee Neuner

What did you or did not like about the first place you lived without your parents?

The Army Barracks at Ft. Jackson, SC. Those buildings looked like they were left over from World War II. Can’t say I either liked or didn’t like them. It was the place I did Basic Training and AIT. It was my first time being away from my parents from any length of time and I was excited, scared and happy all at the same time. Heck I was a teenager. I suppose you could compare it to a college dorm. You make friends and you deal with some women as the we used to say back in the day, Weren’t wrapped too tight.”

What is your most favorite smell/scent?

Food in general

Flowers specifically Roses. My mother’s favorite flower and mine.

Would you prefer snowy winters, or not, and why?

I hate snow and I hate winter. There is nothing fun or romantic about ice and snow unless you like falling and injuring yourself. Snow is nasty, messy, cold freezing punishment that gets more and more difficult to navigate the older I get.

Also since January a whole hank of my hair has come out from my scalp thanks to winter rashes and infections. My skin cracks, peels, and my entire body feels like someone threw acid on me and lit me on fire. I’ve had to stopped taking selfies because my hair is coming out.

Plus I don’t see well and have balance issues so snow is just an opportunity for me to slip and fall. Subway stairs with ice and snow are an invitation to cracking my head wide open. I wish that I lived in Hawaii.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

Some canvasses I’ve been working on. Right now I’m calling them the Starry Night Constellations series. Darkness is something I can relate to for good and for bad. My emotions have been all over the place and as always I’m forever on an emotional roller-coaster.

I work at night so I darkness is normal for me. I both Love Darkness and Fear what lies in wait for me. Midnight is my reality I have had chronic insomnia for years so even when I worked days I was often up all night, in many ways Darkness is my friend from inside to outside. Fog, Mist, Darkness and Silence are concepts that are an integral part of my being. Being a Loner and Solitary I do enjoy the Silence of the Night. One of my goals is to go or be somewhere that I don’t have to interact with people.

Share Your World – October 23, 2017

October 23, 2017 Cee Neuner

I combined the last three Share Your World questions as work has been very hectic and there was an incident on my job that was disturbing to say the least. One of the employees Snapped. Therefore even though I’ve been acting normal and trying to keep my emotions and feelings under control the altercation I witnessed has affected every aspect of my life.

I apologize to my readers.

Was school easy or difficult for you? How so?

Both. Fairly easy concerning academics except math. I hate math and I suck at math. I Love English and History. Then and now.

Difficult because I was bullied in school. The summer before I graduated High School and went into the Army I was pushed down a flight of steps. Children can be and are cruel. Very cruel.

List some of your favorite types of animals.

Cats. Dogs. When I was a teenager gerbils.

What is your favorite large city you have been to? What is the one thing you remember most?

The city I live in New York City aka The Big Apple. All parts of the city are memorable. Most tourists concentrate on Manhattan where the majority of tourist attractions reside but the outer boroughs have their own special charm and elegance.

What do you consider is the most perfect food for you? (It can be your favorite food to something extremely healthy.)

To be honest chocolate. Dark Chocolate! LOL!! 🙂 😀

Are you focused on today or tomorrow?

Both. My mind is all over the place. I am rarely in the moment. I have anxiety and panic attacks plus what took place at my workplace a few weeks ago turned my life upside down in a bad way. More triggers. More worries. Crying. Tears. Insomnia.

The only place that I’ve found peace and solace in these upsetting nerve wracking weeks was a couple of Saturdays ago while walking through a local neighborhood historic cemetery near my home. Cemeteries are calm, quiet, restful, peaceful places great for introspection and deep thought.

If you could interview one of your great-great-great grandparents, who would it be (if you know their name) and what would you ask?

My Great, Great Grandfather William Henry Halstead who fought in the Civil War plus his wife. I want to know more about my Great, Great Grandmother and her life after her husband’s death.

What is your favorite outdoor activity?

Walking and taking photos.

In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?

Passenger. I can’t drive.

If you could have three wishes granted for you alone, what would they be?

Health, Wealth, More time with my brother Stephen.
