I don’t know what it is but I have been emotional for some reason. I HATE IT! I want to cry for absolutely no reason. Emotions are dumb sometimes.

I think I need to leave my house and go do something normal or something fun. I am in my home all the time well almost all the time more than normal.

Last week we got a new to us table. But it needs some TLC. We are going to sand it down and stain it. We also got some new to us chairs. They are nice and when we finish the table they all will match. The table set we have now is too low. Sitting at it for long period of times is terrible for my body.

More people at Jeff’s work got Covid. So now Jeff has to work from home instead of his every other week.

I feel at this point, whatever. I know I shouldn’t say that but I feel eventually we all will get it. Unfortunately yes some will get it much worse than others. But for me, I think I will get it and survive and so will Jeff. It’s called positive thinking. Also, they say vaccine. They don’t even have a vaccine for the common cold. So…yeah I don’t really see a vaccine coming any time soon. I am skeptical of getting a vaccine right away anyways. I know they do trials and such. But talking about the government here and I don’t trust them.

Last week our governor said all of the state of Wisconsin needs to wear a mask everywhere. I understand stores but restaurants? I don’t know if they are really helping. I DO wear my mask in every store I go. But I can see why people don’t want too. Like I said we all going to eventually get it. Unless someone lives in their homes forever but what kind of life is that?

I was really scared in the beginning because of the fear media. But not anymore and I don’t watch the media. Now the only thing I worry about is Jeff going to able to keep his job? I hope so and don’t reduce his hours either.

Goodbye 2020 I want you to leave, there is the door. —>

Yesterday Jeff and I went to a new restaurant for us. My parent’s told us about it. It’s called the Greenwitch Bistro. It was really, really good! Everything there is organic. The service was amazing as well. We will definitely be going back.

I call it the great debate of 2020. To wear a mask or not. Jeff hates wearing his mask. I think it’s a good idea to wear a mask. Even got a fancy one.

I have crazy frizzy hair. Lol!

Last week, we had my sister’s dog. Bailey and Marley. At first, everyone got along until late Tuesday. Marley peed in the house three times and pooped in our home two times. He supposed to be potty trained, I guess not in my house for some reason. He also didn’t like Tex after Tuesday. Think because was jealous that Tex and Bailey were hanging out. He would bark and growl at him. Good thing that is all he would do and not be aggressive to him.

Bailey and Tex were buddies. It was neat to see. They would play ball together! If Bailey got the ball first she would drop it and Tex would bring it to me. So silly! I called her Diva as well because all she wanted to be is the center of attention. Bailey was so cute!

However it was time for them to go. It’s was pretty cool to have four dogs and to see what’s like to have more than two. I think one day I would like to have three dogs all at once but four is a bit much for me.

The poop situation wasn’t a big deal as my mom and sister thought it would be. My dogs poop bigger and at least 2 times a day most of the time. So it wasn’t bad at all.

Having Bailey and Marley convinced Jeff of getting a medium-size dog because all he wants is big dogs. Lol!

They were happy to go home and I am happy to have my two fur babies.

Bailey is the light tan and Marley the dark brown. They are Labradoodles. It’s funny they wanted to share that tiny bed.

Last weekend was the 4th of July. We went to my parent’s house. I saw three of my aunts and uncles. Some were leery about getting close to anyone and one of my aunts was like “Can I just hug you?” I was like yes! I haven’t been anywhere.

Everyone was there for maybe a couple of hours but Jeff and I stayed a lot longer then that. It was nice to chat with the parents.

Also on the 4th was Tex’s birthday! He turned 2.

We got him a Kong ball. Since Tex is a heavy chewer and he loves his other Kong toy. He hasn’t destroyed that we figured a ball would hold up. Tex loves balls it’s his favorite toy.

Back up to last Wednesday July 1st. Jeff and I did our first landscaping project. We have been talking about it forever and finally did it. We put down rubber mulch and planted some Hostas.

Saturday is not only July 4 Independence Day, it’s Tex’s birthday. He is going to be 2!

Saturday will be the first time this year where Jeff and I are going to a family get together. We will see how that goes. I have heard some of my aunts are nervous coming. Anyways it will good to see them. No need for hugging. I think it will be fun.

Father’s Day

Sunday was Father’s day. My parents came over and it was a warm sunny day! I was happy it was nice out we could sit outside. Jeff made bacon burgers and brownies. It was so yummy! We gave dad a gift card to Menards since he is planning on building things for their home.

What I am really impressed is Tex. He didn’t bark at them like he usually does! He was adulting! At first he was a little timid but then it was a flurry of kisses! Lol! He really likes my dad. Kept going over to be petted by him.

He was a tired boy at the end of the day.

We have been trying to sell our Durango since last year. It has happened! We said goodbye to our Durango on June 12.

The couple who came over and looked at it. They tried to strike a deal for a lot lower than we wanted. They came back almost 3 weeks later and said they would take it for what we were asking for it. Yay!

It took almost a week for the bank to clear everything and on June 12 at 11:30 at night they came and got it. Why they had to get it on Friday instead of Saturday. Maybe because the wife really wanted it since it was to be her car. She was excited to finally get it.

I have mix feelings. I am happy because we are closer to getting out of debt. But sad because it was a good car. However it did need work and there was some rust starting. It was fun to drive though.

Father’s Day is next weekend on Sunday. Last month we invited the father’s to our place like it was a normal year. Of course my parents said yes right away. I said that I bet Jeff his parents will say no. He said he gave them 90% they would say no.

Guess what they said no.

I have to vent because I asked Jeff does that make you mad? He said not as mad as you get. I told him why it makes me mad.

Here is why: I remember Jeff’s mom Darlene. I loved her like my second mom. I remember she called, emailed or FB messenger us frequently. There wasn’t one week we didn’t hear from her.

After her passing then Ken got remarried. It has been distant Ville. We NEVER hear from him. It pisses me off because of what I stated about Darlene being in our lives. We don’t hear what he is doing or if they are okay or they got a new dog. WTF?!

I hate it! Just because he got married doesn’t mean he can throw away our relationships. I don’t understand. I don’t feel hurt, I feel very disappointed in him.

Jeff said that he never thought of it that way. I didn’t tell him to have him feel bad or feel the same. He said he understands now and he wanted to think on it.

In any case we are going to have a good Father’s day.

Danielle’s Collectables

The tin is a sea shell and in the amethyst rocks are from my Grandpa on my dad’s side. The fools gold are Jeff’s. The orange rock is actually sort of shaped like a rock. Jeff got me that. The plastic fox is also from my Grandpa whom I am named after. His name was Daniel and I of course is Danielle. After he died I got this from him. The toy was inside of the shell container I don’t think anyone knew it was in there. It’s cool to have something from him. I remember him a little he died when I was a child.

These are from my Grandma on my dad’s side. Now I remember her she died when I was close to being a teenager. She got Alzheimer’s. I remember visiting at a nursery home. It was sad she didn’t remember my dad most of the time. After she died I got these two figurines. That’s why they are special I have something from her.
