Finally the end of the month is here. That means new flooring which was a long time coming. Our office carpet was the nastiest part of our house. Finally, it got tore out and replaced with vinyl wood flooring. Pics later as I am typing this they are still working on it. This it what the old carpet was, it was from 1983, it’s been here since the house was built. Every time it was hot out the carpet would smell like a basement and other stale things. The owner before us had a dog and it smelled like old pee sometimes, then my sister’s dog did pee on that carpet. Tex has thrown up on that carpet. Dog things has happened to that carpet. No matter if was cleaned or vacuumed it was still so gross! Now it’s gone!

Seeing my mom this weekend. Haven’t seen her since last year. They are home now. Saw Jeff’s mom at the cemetery. It was nice to spend some time there.

First time that Jeff left for a work trip for days! I didn’t think I would feel anything different as I don’t mind being by myself. WRONG! I felt sad that he had to been gone for days. Mostly the night time all by myself. I do have Tex but he’s been a mopey butt. I knew he would be. I miss Jeff!!! I am glad he came home on Friday. Jeff even said that he missed me a lot.

Another gripe is that I am so glad my bff April checked up on me on how was doing, not. She didn’t, I don’t know why that also sucked.

Tattoo looking better. I was worried I would need more antibiotics but it starting to calm way down. Still a bit red but I think that’s just me. It’s has started the peeling process and so now I just leave it be which seems to be helping. This one was so strange because it hardly has no color in it as it is mostly outline. Yet, in flared up. That’s tattoos for you, never know what will be the outcome.

It’s sad our last tree died this winter. It was really shedding it’s bark and losing branches. We were worried that it would fall on the house. So we had to say goodbye. One of the main reasons why we bought this house because it looked like a house in the forest with over 20 trees in it and now they are all gone.

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.

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!!
