I want to thank my husband Jeff. Was having a problem uploading to my blog. He took some time and found a solution for me so I can continue writing in my blog.

Let’s talk about that A Small Orange. WTF! I wanted to put more pics on my blog. I couldn’t, kept saying I ran out of space. They told us that I had enough space. They were wrong. So, Jeff did some investigating for me and found a different provider. First of all, was a lot cheaper than A Small Orange and I now can add all the pics I want to my blog.

Here is the thing I have been using A Small Orange for more than eight years and they didn’t want to help me. That’s not a company I want to keep around. They should have been more grateful that I stuck around. Instead, they brushed me off. So fuck ’em. They don’t deserve loyal customers.

Now I want to add the pics from last month that I couldn’t show before.

Jeff got me great stuff for Christmas. He got me this huge bag of coffee. I am in heaven. Lol!

He also got me a beautiful necklace! A funny; Jeff is like why do you love penguins so much. I am like they are so cute. Aren’t you sick of them? No way!

Awe it’s so very cute! Jeff said that is me and him. Yes!

Time for Tex pics! He got some cool stuff for Christmas.

See the orange one. That’s his orange and it squeaks! He loves it of course.

This was his joy. He destroyed it and now it’s no more. My parents gave it to him but it didn’t last sadly.

Chrissy was the winner of Christmas besides us. Lol!

He has his stocking and his bottle. Lol!

I am happy I can continue writing on my blog. My husband is so great!

Happy New Year! YAY! I made it a whole another year!

Time for a year to rewind! I went through some changes this year. I finally went to see the doctor about my anxiety which was huge for me. I have been dreading getting that taken care of. But….I am still working on it. Still need to see the doctor to get my medication adjusted however I am proud of myself for finally going.

I got the run around from my old dentist. It made me mad! I was in so much pain. I have had enough of my small-town dentists. Google search found my dentist for most of the rest of my life, I hope. Something surprising I got almost all of my immediate family to go there too. Good for them! Everyone there is so super awesome and nice. I am glad my old dentist messed up, so I could go there instead. This year was the year of teeth again. I had 2 toothaches, put in a screw I didn’t know I couldn’t get (thanks to insurance), broke a tooth, had two pulled out, and got a mouth guard for the night.

I did one virtual race and started another. Have not finished that one yet. Going to join the rat race as they say. Going to join all the people losing weight for the new year but I want my momentum to continue all year. I hope this is the year that Jeff and I can go on vacation.

I can’t believe it but Tex will be 5 this year! No! I want him to stay in his puppy ways forever. 4 was a good age for Tex. He grew up but still remained himself. He didn’t have an awesome year as he got really sick. But was able to help him and he got better.

I am looking forward to this year to see what it brings. I hope mostly good things!

We decided that we will celebrate every other Thanksgiving with my family and then the other year with Jeff’s family. It’s only fair. Plus we both need a break from each other’s family. LOL!

Anyways, Jeff’s dad Ken has told us he could take off of work anytime. Also, he is working now because he is bored since his wife will not stop working. He went back to work at his old job. He can work from home or go to the office. He does both. So, Jeff asked if we can come and see them on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving a MONTH before Thanksgiving. Ken finally got back to us and said he and his wife have to work and can’t. SO, Jeff said we will be near them on Wednesday can we come and see him just for a little bit. No, we can’t because he will be at the office. I think it’s an excuse. We haven’t seen them since Father’s day. I think it’s BULLSHIT! I feel hurt and so does Jeff that they never want to see us anymore. They don’t even make suggestions to see us if something doesn’t work out. I am sick of this shit. We are family and should be able to see each other. I am beyond heated on this. I don’t understand ever since Ken got remarried it’s been hard to go and see them.

I think the reason I am so mad is that my parents are always like when can we see you. Come and see us. It’s the very opposite.

Oh well, I am trying not to be so mad about it even though it’s difficult. We will still have a good Thanksgiving anyways. We get to skip all the traffic and have fun at home. Gotta watch Trains, Planes, and Automobiles which we always watch at or around Thanksgiving.

FINALLY! Finally, the truck has sold. Jeff met and negotiate with a ton of people for the truck. A young man came and looked at it. Then it was sold just like that. Jeff said he was a nice young man. He said this is what he had been looking for. So that was great! Now Jeff can stop being a butt. Lol! He was really stressing over the Silverado.

I finished this for Halloween. This one took FOREVER! It’s a list video. I can’t believe I watched all these movies!

Jeff and I have been debating on getting a puppy for a while now. But I wasn’t sure because Tex is such a good dog. We remember that Tex did love Scotty. So we thought he would like to have another dog around. We thought a female dog this time.

Jeff found this 5-month-old puppy named Marley that was 2 hours away from us. We put in our application and was approved very fast. On Wednesday we schedule a meet-up and possibly take her home. We had to bring Tex with us. He did really good in the car this time. He doesn’t like car rides.

We met her at her Foster’s mom house. Nice lady and huge fenced-in backyard. We liked Marley but I wasn’t too sure. Jeff really liked her so we decided to take her. When we got home it was NOT good. Tex was having a huge panic attack like we have never seen before. Marley was not nice to him and even tried to bite him. Also, she didn’t like me. She would never look at me or give me kisses. When Jeff held her, she would give him kisses and look at him. I could tell she didn’t care for me. Plus Tex having this huge panic attack.

Tex has never ever been aggressive toward other people or other dogs ever. He was cool with my sister’s dogs and my Aunt’s dogs. He has seen and been around other dogs. But Marley was being aggressive towards Tex. It was not a good situation.

Jeff talked to the Foster mom and asked if we could bring her back and she was totally cool with that. She thanked us for being really honest about it. Why lie about that.

When we got back again really late at night. Tex was like we have never seen him before. He started talking and being super affectionate! He was super happy for us to be back and with no other dog with us.

We have learned a lesson. Tex has to be the only one. We are cool with that. At least now we know. As I said Tex is such a great dog! He doesn’t chew on anything, never has an accident, he is fun-loving and overall a great dog.

I was really sick last week. The most I have been ill in a long time. No, it wasn’t Covid it was in my chest. I had a terrible time with my asthma too. It was bad. It was four days of sickness. I also had the worst headache I have ever had for a week too. It was kinda scary.

I am all better. Now I have to be more cautious because it’s snowed today! SNOW! I have to be careful about how cold it is so I don’t have an asthma problem again. Jeff was so wonderful. He got me lotion tissues and a humidifier for my side of the bedroom.

I didn’t add it last time but we got a new to us truck…..Okay I have to say this. I wasn’t happy that Jeff wanted to get a different truck because we drove to Michigan to get that one truck earlier this year. That sucked! Plus all the things he did to the truck too. New tires okay yes that was needed but he got a lowering kit installed. That was a crap day to get that done. When told me he wanted a different truck I was mad.

He found another one a Dodge Ram just like the one we sold to get the other truck from MI. We had to go to Ladysmith Wisconsin which we have never been there before but it’s a small town. That was a day. First, it takes three hours to get there and then three hours to get back.

Well…I couldn’t be mad anymore about getting a different truck because we had to tack the Silverado because our other SUV had to go the shop for a repair. On the way to Ladysmith, our truck lost power and couldn’t get it to over 50 miles per hour. It sucked! So it took longer to get there. Thankfully they had an O’Reilly’s Auto Parts store so they could check it. Jeff bought the part and we headed to the place where the Ram was. Also, very lucky that the Ram was at a small-time car dealer and repair shop.

I have to say everyone was nice but also the lady was starting to get annoying. Found out it was the man who was selling the truck’s daughter. She made me feel uncomfortable. Just her in general. I also thought she was a bit on the dumb side. Besides that everyone else was very nice. They even changed the part for us on our truck for free. In the end, we did get the truck and I do admit it is nicer than the Silverado.

Now though we are having a lot of trouble selling the Silverado. So now we are stuck with it until someone buys it which I hate. I told Jeff the Ram has to last at least ten years because no more trucks. This is it. I know that sounds like I am being difficult but I hate switching vehicles even more so trucks. Plus it doesn’t help our finances. That’s the part I hate the most!

A neat lady I have known all my life passed away on Tuesday, September 20, 2022. Her name was Aunt Sue.

She was my dad’s sister-in-law. She was such a great lady. She was out of a box kind of person and I loved that about her. When I was a kid, I used to go and hang out at her house. I used to watch John Wayne movies with Uncle Dan and talk with Aunt Sue. I loved seeing her for Thanksgiving. She was an amazing lady.

She started to fade for some years as she developed Alzheimer’s disease. Only some weeks was she put into a great facility her oldest daughter found for her as Uncle Dan no longer could care for her on his own. Then she got Covid. She decided she no longer wanted to be around. She stopped eating and drinking then she passed away. It was very sad!

I rather not think of her that way. I will always have fond memories of her. In October the family will do a celebration of life. I like those so much more than funerals.

I love you, Aunt Sue. You did live a great life and had a great family. You will always be the cool Aunt.
