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.

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!

Can you believe 15 years together today? So crazy! Happy anniversary to my person, who I love so much! We have come so far in our relationship and we endured a lot. I am so happy I found you. We took a chance and now look where we are now. We are great together. Love you forever and ever……

I am not feeling it this week and it’s all Adam’s fault. SO! Adam is back he came back last Wednesday. We told him that we go and see him on Monday. Monday at night we were going to have a potluck so everyone could see Adam. But we said we spend all day with him. We all met at a restaurant and the first thing he said “Jeez, no one came to see me since I been here. You guys couldn’t even see me on Sunday. That sucks. You guys suck.” He made me feel terrible.

Here is the thing the only reason he came to Wisconsin was his friend was getting married. I figured he would get drunk at the wedding. So what would be the point of seeing him on Sunday if he is hungover? So we go and hang out with him at the parent’s house.

Then when we leave after the potluck he says can you see me again. We said yeah we will come for dinner tomorrow which was Tuesday. Then he says oh I can’t going to go hang out with friends. But bitches when we couldn’t see him or make time for him before.

He made me feel like this:

Also, he has been saying really mean things and then saying just kidding. It doesn’t feel like he is kidding. He is being such an asshole this time. I don’t understand last time we had so much fun and he seemed more grown up. This time he is so cynical and mean-spirited. I am glad he is leaving back to Portland. I really don’t want to be around him anymore.

People from my town are frustrating people. For months we have been trying to get anyone out to give us an estimate on redoing the outside of the house. It’s like they say like pulling teeth to get anyone out here. Doesn’t anyone want business? I know it’s summer, I know they are busy. But a phone call, text, or literally anything to say hey we put you on the schedule that is all we are asking so we know.

Oh God, don’t even get me started with the electrician! I was getting frustrated with that guy. I know it’s not Jeff’s fault but I was hounding him to find anyone else to come over and get this shit done. I was so mad. I mean just call back and say you are busy, so we could find someone else. Jeff was insistent on having this one electrician who came over early this summer. FINALLY, he came on Wednesday.

We had three guys come and look at what we wanted to do to our house. We really need new siding on our house as a lot of it is rotten plus we want other things done on the outside. The first guy came out and never got us a quote ever. He has never called or emailed or anything. Never heard from that guy again. That was over a month ago. About two weeks ago we had another guy come. Still waiting for his quote. UGH! The last guy came to see what we wanted. Within days he gave us a quote. I told Jeff if that second guy doesn’t give us a quote by next week Friday. Forget it! We will go with the third guy. Ridiculous!

Who knew that getting quotes from people would be so hard? We aren’t even picky. Just whenever they have time to come out. Which you would think would be easier for them. UGH! Well oh well. I have a feeling the third guy will be our choice. We shouldn’t have to call or remind the second guy what we wanted or whatever. He should have taken better notes. We were also told the second guy was going to have someone come and measure. That has never happened either. Sucks for them.

I want to say all three of these people have a pretty good rating. The first guy his business had 5 stars on Google. Did you see “had”? Not anymore. I lowered their score. Sucks for them. Also, reviews can always be changed. If they tried to reach out or anything it could have been avoided. I don’t feel bad about that.

A funny Jeff was like no more reviews till we see what happens. LOL! I will not be a keyboard warrior until we decide who we want. Pretty sure the third guy though.

SO….Jeff asked me if I wanted to try weed with him. I said yeah. I have only tried weed once with Jeff’s sister but it was different. I vaped with her. It made me feel calm and nothing else. But it was nice. So…I thought it was going to be like that.

NOPE!

We got weed cookies. I thought it was going to be a nice time. It wasn’t. I felt it right away like calming but then OMG! I felt so strange and then I got a headache. A terrible headache. I didn’t feel well.

Well…Jeff had the worst time. He said he felt like he should go to the ER. He felt terrible! I didn’t know he felt that way. We finally just went to bed early. The next day we didn’t feel too good.

So…that one time Jeff and I did weed is the also the last time. I’ll stick with CBD.
