I got a skin infection on my tattoo. Just to show what that looks like:

I was so worried about it. I felt hot, it felt hot. It’s supposed to be in the itchy phase but wasn’t. Went to Urgent Care and got some antibiotics. Slowly healing now but still freaks me out a bit.

I had a great bday! I am now 43! I got my tattoo on my birthday:

It’s soooo cute! It didn’t hurt either. Not until Wed then it hurt. He kept saying really? It doesn’t hurt? lol!

Then we went to El Jefe it’s a new restaurant in our town. It was sooooo good!

The food was amazing! Had leftovers which is the best. All in all a great day!

Another week in paradise, just kidding. Another winter storm what’s new. Now America is in war, oh I am sorry conflict. Why? Ugh! I don’t understand the government and now I feel I know even less than before.

I still have to go the dentist to get my tooth adjusted again. I hate it!

But I am looking forward to Tuesday which is my bday. Getting another tattoo! I can’t wait!

Ugh!! Again my mouth. Ok, went to the dentist and had a biting issue. So, he shaved down my tooth. That helped but then biting hard again on the other side. Went back had it shaved down. That was good but now again on the other side. IT’S NEVER ENDING! Usually, I wouldn’t care so much if my mouth didn’t hurt because I am biting too hard on one side. WHY???!!! UGH!

OH my I have a tooth ache! For more than a week now! I couldn’t to see the dentist till today. I am not sure what is going to be done, I think it’s a cavity, I hope it’s that. Ugh, I can’t handle it anymore with the pain and the pills to take away the pain. Always gives me stomach ache when I take pain pills for too long. Stupid teeth!

Good news I have a little over 600 subs. I am happy for this. I’ll keep going on my YouTube.

Learning more crocheting squares. I tried this bubble heart. Granted this is my first try:

It’s not great but first try is ok. I will keep trying and I am making a Unicorn square too. We will see how it goes.

I have been learning new cross stitches for fun. This is what I learned so far:

These are not perfect, but they were my first try. I am pretty proud of myself for learning something new.

Finally feeling better. I was sick for so long! I still have a tiny cough but that’s ok. Jeff still has a nasty cough. However, he says he feels fine just the cough. Jeff and I started working out together. We really get the burn on. Nothing really else going on which I like, I like when there is nothing. Staying home and paying off debt.

I can’t believe it’s already the New Year! I feel this year went really fast.

For a week Jeff and I have the flu. So, trying to get over that. Last week was Christmas, we went to Chrissy’s house and Chrissy got me gifts that do not make sense to me. I got ugly mugs and not even the right size, they are small, cooking utensils that are Christmas themes, don’t cook and slippers that do not fit even though I told her my size. I know it’s the thought that counts however it also shows how little she knows me. Kim and Corey actually gave us a gift, Kwik Trip gift card. Whooo free gas! We got gifts for everyone and everyone liked their gifts even Chrissy because I know what she likes. The reason I know because she told me many times even over chats. I keep telling people gift giving is my love language.

We did the giving tree not the famous Angel tree. The giving tree is a local tree for our community and it was fun to go for shopping for other people and give back.

This year I found out I can’t have a sleep apnea machine because I am allergic to the mask. I am still getting billed for it.

I got a big tattoo and it was the first tattoo that actually hurt really bad after the fact. Worth it. I am getting another tattoo on my birthday next year.

We redid our Kitchen and built a porch. What will we do next year?

I built up my YouTube I went from 5 subs to over 500 subs. I will continue doing YouTube, I even got some hate comments and survived because I am sensitive but trying to become tougher. I had to delete some comments because they were very hateful though. There are certain things I won’t allow on my channel.

I decided to distance myself from Adam. I don’t want him in my life at this point. He is a hateful and narcissistic person I don’t need in my life. Will he be back in my life, I do not know.

I started taking tirzepatide to lose weight. So, far so good. I lost 7 pounds but I feel better mentally. I lost some inches around myself.

On to 2026!

OMG! This tattoo is unlike any tattoo before it! I found my breaking point of being tattoo. He kept saying almost done, almost done, I just have this little bit. I was shivering which I wasn’t cold, I was at my breaking point.

The pain! The pain is bad! I was crying on Thursday, how bad it hurt in the morning. I am sure I accidentally slept on it at one point. The pain is crazy!

The sign was the worst! All those orange circles hurt sooooooooo badly!!
