After 3 years Jeff got Covid from a co-worker. Then I got it. It has sucked so much! It has been over a week now since I got it. UGH! I lost my taste and smell for 2 days. I didn’t like that.
After a week of having Covid, I have so, so much mucus. I hate it! There is little to say this week as I am still recovering from Covid.
Sigh. I don’t think I have acid reflux, I think I have a throat ulcer. I can’t get it looked at till JULY! WTF?! Everything is booked up till then. I am on a waiting list but it is still JULY?! I did email my doctor to see what she can do for me. Just waiting now. The waiting game is the one game I hate!
Tex is looking handsome! He got groomed. AND we decided to do a subscription for barkbox. We did 6 months to see how it goes. Here is what he got:
He got 4 toys, 4 treat bags, and 3 treat sticks. Which I think is a lot. However, he has already destroyed 3 out of the 4 toys already. So these toys are disposable. Not really liking that but it is what it is. Also, it’s cool to have all the treats but wish the toys weren’t so easily destroyed. We will be only doing the 6 months since we already paid for it. I wouldn’t recommend this if your dog is a heavy chewer even though we did do the heavy chewer box. He still destroys them in an hour.
Got one problem solved. I had to take out another tooth. I was talking with Jeff and now I officially have 16 teeth total. That isn’t good. I did not get my implant but changed of plans. Going to still get an implant where he took out my tooth. At least that is something.
One more week and I can see the doctor about my acid reflux. That means I can get another problem solved.
Jeff is getting his first cleaning at the dentist I go to next week. I want to know his opinion of the place.
OMG! The show the Last of Us based on the video is AMAZING! I have NEVER EVER seen anyone get it so right! FINALLY! Finally, someone made the show just like the game. I loved that game. I played it many times. So I know what’s happening but I love it! Jeff doesn’t play video games however he loves the show as well.
Is it the beginning of the year? Is Danielle’s health terrible again in the beginning of the year? Yes! WHY?!
My acid reflux has been bad. So much so that I have to go see a doctor about it. I couldn’t get in till Feb. I have been trying to deal with that. When I lay down I get this huge lump in my throat and sometimes it burns. Thankfully, I only threw up acid once, and once is enough for me. Which also means I can’t have yummy food with any kind of seasoning. I am also doing Keto so I need salt but can’t eat that much salt because of acid reflux. Like really?! I am trying to balance it out till I can see the doctor.
I switched doctors. I don’t why it has taken me this long to switch. My regular doctor works at Thedacare. He has NEVER listened to me. I am sick of that. Screw him and Thedacare. I need to see someone who listens to me. So, I chose Prevea. See how that goes. What’s cool about finding a doctor of today is all the Google reviews on them. Can see if there is a chance I will like a doctor or not. Also, this is the first in a long time that I have chosen a female doctor. I usually go for male doctors because they are more gentle when getting a pap smear and those kinds of things. But, so far that has been the case but at the same time, I need to be heard.
I have a tooth that is dying in my mouth. Can I win? NO! I had the strangest thing happen. Sitting at night I heard that tooth CRACK! like on the inside. I have never heard that before from a tooth. I am supposed to get an implant on Monday. So I have been trying to hold out till then. It’s been okay. Thank goodness for Ibuprofen. LOL! I am hoping that can extract the tooth and put the implant in the same place right away. My mouth is going to be so sore on Monday. But I rather have a sore instead of a pain.
Winter decided to show up on Wednesday night. It was sort of warm and we could see grass. Now it’s a winter wonderland again. That’s how my beginning of the year is going so far.
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!
Finally got the tree up! We bought a new topper last year and we just remembered it this year. LOL! We love it!
Here is Tex being cute!
Jeff did a good job with the lights on the windows. Everything looks good.
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!
I have been having fun learning about the Untouchables tv show! I am putting this show one of my favorites to watch of all time. I said one of my favorites. Lol!
Another cross-stitch project for my wall. It was cute and had to do this one. Alien Christmas!
