We are celebrating Christmas this Saturday with my parents. I have to say I am still mad about them going to Florida for Christmas. All my life my mom would never let us celebrate Christmas night with anyone else. We HAD to go there for Christmas night. Now, she gets to leave? I think that is so unfair.

It will be nice just us and them to celebrate. However, it’s hard to think of all the Christmas nights we had to work around because we HAD to be at my parents. It would have been cool to see Jeff’s parents for one of the Christmas nights. Now that can’t ever happened because of Jeff’s mom not being here anymore. I can’t stop thinking of that. Just sucks.

I am grateful they are still here that we can still see them and celebrate with them.

Adam came for a visit, and Tex and he finally became friends! It took some years, lol! It was fun that he stayed the night. We talked and laughed. I have to get that friendship before it leaves again. That is how it is when it comes to Adam.

I was upset with the siblings. No one wanted to make popcorn balls because no one could eat them. That wasn’t the point. The point was to spend time with each other and have fun. So, Dad, Jeff, Adam, and I made them anyway. It was so much FUN!

We got to hang out with Cutie Tank!

Jeff always takes great pics!

Took a cute video of Tex:

I have been asking Tex to take out his clean blankets for years, and finally, he did! He can get his clean toys but not his blankets. I was so happy he finally got them!

We did pumpkins:

Jeff did middle scary pumpkin! He did such a good job!

This week is vacation week! Yay! The only sad part is saying goodbye to Tex. In fact, we had an anxiety session. Tex gave himself a hot spot and thought we couldn’t go because the place we boarded may not take him. Jeff called in the morning and they acted like it was no big deal. What a relief! They will wrap his leg and put his cone on when he is done playing out with the others. I am happy they can still take him and take care of his leg. I am happy he will be fine and we can have fun!

There was not a whole lot going on this week. I decided to watch strange cartoon movies for my YouTube channel, roolikes2review. I came to find out that I had seen most of these from my childhood. I don’t know why these were considered children’s films. LOL!

For example Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. I have seen this before but was young. Wow! I liked that movie even though so strange! Of course, the music was great. Then I watched Forbidden Planet, I have never seen that, and yeah strange. I watched the Hobbit and noticed I had seen this before and it was sort of boring and I like Lord of the Rings. I finished the Lord of the Rings cartoon version of course and yes I liked it. Have also seen this before. Who knew?!

I am having fun watching these strange cartoon movies.

Here it is my new TMJ mouthpiece. I have to wear it for 2 years. It’s okay. I can’t eat with it; it just sits in my mouth. Hard to talk in it though, I have to learn how too. My mouth is pretty sore but I hope it will get easier. This will repair the cartilage in my jaw joints.

Nothing else really going on other than this. A week and a half will be vacation time!

Jeff’s sister Dawn came for a visit for two days. Tex was IN LOVE with her. LOL!

He was being so silly with her. Had to some times tell him not to be a Velcro dog. lol! But he was a good boy. Also, Ken and Milena dog Yoda came over. NEVER AGAIN! They have this little dog and was totally be being a brat. Milena was afraid that Tex would hurt him. We are like no. He was such a good boy! In fact Tex stood by us more than seeing this dog. Yoda would lunge and Tex and bark non stop at him, gave our baby anxiety. We felt bad for Tex. That dog can never come over again.

Jeff is now 48! Happy birthday babe!

I love this pic! I am framing this pic. It’s wonderful! We had a wonderful time with Dawn. Jeff had a great birthday.

I got answers to my mouth sort of. It’s not my teeth it’s the muscles and nerves in my upper jaw. This is good because I don’t want to pull any more teeth. Bad because I need more tests. I am getting a TMJ mouthguard. In the end, my dentist was right but it was a lot of tears and being upset to get to this point though, and money. Ugh sometimes I feel like I bleed cash I don’t have. I think sometimes everyone feels that way. Just sucks!

On Tuesday I spent the whole day with April. We did a lot of horse model stuff. LOL! I can’t believe how many she has! They are so cool! It was nice to see April again. She is doing amazing! She is slowly walking up the steps! It’s awesome!

Jeff’s sister Dawn is spending Friday through Monday with us. We haven’t seen her since 2019. It will be fun to see her again.
