I lost track of time! Again. Lol! Humans, right?! Anyways it was so hard last week to pack April’s stuff. We aren’t even close to being done. Think of someone’s house who is a little on the hoarding side. That’s April’s house. It’s not as bad as a hoarder house but well on its way. April and her brother used to live together. A lot of his stuff is there and that was way over 5 years ago. She keeps holding on to it and she keeps telling him to come and get it. He doesn’t live that far from her place. Yet he never has and I doubt he will now come and get his stuff. I would have said come get your stuff or the dumpster it will go. Sometimes April is way too nice. Now though it will go in the dumpster can’t move it with her.

So….SHE GOT THE PLACE SHE WANTED!!!! I am so happy for her. Her new place is not that far from where she lives now. Plus it’s a house she gets the lower half.

Last weekend was rummage sale extravaganza! I found a nice shirt, books, a blanket and this really cool paperweight.

It has real flowers in it. I have to find that strange thing when I do rummage sales. This was it for this year.

Life

This was my week:

Situation bff April tells me she has to move. Why? Because the neighbor across the hall called the landlord. She claims that April’s apartment smells bad and she can smell it in the hall. This neighbor also hates April and this was the 3rd time she called to claim this. It looked bad for April because her mom made it so much worse than it needed to be! She always causes trouble. Her mom called the cops. What the hell are the cops going to do anyway? Because of this, they want April and her parents to move out. Thankfully they are letting her stay until the end of the month of June. Of course, her mom blames her for this even though it was her fault. She didn’t need to get involved. Her parents always make April the scapegoat for everything bad in their lives.

So all week been looking a place to live. It’s been hell! There is nothing to rent right now! So stressful! Plus no one will help her. It will be me and her packing her whole place. All I got to say is April likes to keep things (A LOT OF THINGS!). It will be tough.

I will go see her on Monday and stay for some days. We are going to go look at a place. I hope it works out because it solves all of her problems if she can get it. Fingers crossed.

Another thing, places are not requiring masks anymore. I feel to still wear my mask. I was standing in line at the pharmacy which is a place for sure people should wearing their masks, I feel. However, if people choose not to. Whom am I to tell them so? I would never and have never during this whole thing. Anyways standing in line with my mask on, the only one to have a mask on except staff. This woman is standing sort of next to me. Was chatting with the pharmacist. She was talking about she feels happier she doesn’t have to wear a mask. Then she looks directly at me and says “SOME people I guess didn’t get the memo that they don’t have to wear a mask. Since masks are ridiculous.” Mind you I was doing nothing but standing in line. I wasn’t telling people to wear masks. I wasn’t doing anything. So I look at her and said “Oh I am sorry. What country do we live in? Oh, that’s right, America I can do what I want!” Any other week I would have shrugged it off because I am not a confrontational person. I have been stressed for days trying to help April. So she got what she got. LOL! I wish people who just mind their own business. If a person is minding their own business why provoke? Oh well though it felt good to tell her off.

This Sunday is Mother’s day. I got mom some good presents. I bought some stuff on Wish. I thought for sure it wouldn’t come because it was supposed to get here on the 3rd and it came on the 7th of this week. If you can’t tell it’s a theme. Lol!

The little item on top of the candle is strawberry earrings. The big strawberry is actually a purse. Those are the items I got from Wish. The bag is cuter in person then on the website.

I am trying really hard to let this go. But my mom got her hair done…..

The grief she doled out last year for dying my hair was unbelievable. Then yet she does this! (Taking deep breaths.) However I think this looks great. I am going to let it go just hard right now. But I will get over it.

Like I mentioned this Sunday is Mother’s Day. Every year I send out invites on messenger. We always do a pot luck. I usually get on people’s cases to contribute whatever. Not this year. I said what we are bringing and no one else said anything else. So maybe we will just have hamburgers for Mother’s Day. They are adults, they can read. I don’t feel the need to be concerned with everyone else anymore.

I got my new diamond painting. I will be doing for my mom’s birthday in September.

On Thursday May 5 I saw the cutest little fox in our yard! He ran fast and I couldn’t get his front. But I did get a pic of him.

Here is a cute pic of Tex sitting like he does always. Lol!

Hair

I did it! I cut off all of my hair.

Hair before:

I first put my hair in a ponytail and cut it off. It was fun! Then I cut all the long pieces as much as I could. Then Jeff buzzed my hair. I haven’t had this short first of all ever. But short hair in general 2015! It feels so nice.

First time in like forever I am not going to dye my hair. What you see is what it’s going to be. I feel liberated not to have to dye my hair because I feel a certain why about having white hair along with my black original hair color. It feels like to just be me and be happy with that.

Life

Last week Jeff fell down at work. His own fault but still falling down as an adult really sucks. His leg somehow got wrapped up in his headphone cord and it tripped him. He fell on his knee and DAMN! The bruises he has is crazy! I also think he pulled some muscles too. Thankfully his work lets him work from home. He worked most of last week and some of this week from home to heal.

My mom came over on Monday. She really is into diamond painting now and knows I have been doing it now for a couple of years. She came over and we diamond painted. She is doing people with umbrellas and I am doing another very colorful owl.

I got this a week ago. After mom left I had this much done.

Friday I finished it!

Life

Last weekend was Easter. I went to my sister’s house she got her shot. My parents have their shot too. It was also my niece’s bday and she was milking it for sure. It was a good time to sit and chat with everyone. However my older brother wasn’t there because he couldn’t come over because he didn’t get the shot. Chrissy is still pretty mad at him and I am too a bit. It’s hard to forgive someone who doesn’t care about their family. But I am working on it.

I got now some more CBD oil this time. Wow those gummies tasted so very awful! But they worked good though. I like that I am continuing my journey to help myself with anxiety.

On Thursday I got my last Covid shot. I got instant arm pain but I felt fine. Till the nighttime. My throat felt strange and it’s hard to explain. It’s not scratchy but more like it feels like I guess I would say a lump in my throat is the best way to say. It feels so strange. My head feels terrible like when I get the flu. My arm hurt so, so bad! I can’t touch my arm or lay on my arm it hurts that bad.

I hope it only lasts this weekend and then I will be fine.

Life

I bought my first CBD product. Since last year I don’t know why but my anxiety has been a lot worse than it has been in years. I always have anxiety but thought it wasn’t as bad as I like to admit. It’s bad. We have a place here to buy it and I was surprised. I went last Saturday and got some gummies. I wasn’t sure how it would make me feel and I have to say they worked! I was not anxious going to the dentist this week. However I think next time I will get oil. The gummies taste like medicine trying to be cover up with gummies.

I finished that diamond painting owl finally. This one was tough.

Vaccine

I feel so lucky! On Thursday Jeff told me he put me on a list to get a call to get the vaccine. It was leftover doses from the day. Anybody spouses at his work who wanted one. That’s me! I have been wanting to get one so badly! I was so jealous that Jeff got vaccinated because I really want to be vaccinated too.

I thought to myself there is no way they going to call because it was only for this week and only Thursday and Friday. They said they usually have 0-11 doses left over. Also, they said in this email Jeff sent me that I would have to be there in 20 minutes or less which is doable for me. Just didn’t think I would get a call. I called my county because they also opened up for appointments. I called them on Sunday and left a message. Never got a call back all week.

I was all ready to go by the end of the day since the email said between 5 or 6 pm may get a call. At 5:30 I got the call! I was so excited! I am so happy that Jeff put me on the list. I went there and I got Moderna which Jeff has too. He got his second shot on Friday. So far so good. He said he doesn’t feel any different. We will see how he feels this weekend. After my first shot, I felt fine. They made me wait 30 minutes afterward because I am allergic to Penicillin. I saw others that only had to wait 15 minutes afterward. I felt fine though and my arm didn’t hurt. Also, side note I got my period on Thursday and well it kinds sucks getting the shot on the same day but also happy to get my shot. I was listening to the workers talking while I was waiting because I was the last one for the day. I literally got the last shot left over for the day! I heard they called maybe like 4 other people before me and they either couldn’t make it in 20 minutes or refused. That’s why I feel so lucky I got it on Thursday.

Later that night I got a huge headache and felt so fatigued. Then on Friday morning my arm hurt really badly. It reminded me of how bad when I get the flu shot in my arm. The only difference with the flu shot I usually get a lump but with this, I didn’t get that. Throughout the day on Friday, I felt fatigued then feel better so on and on all day.

I am a happy girl though. It’s worth feeling like poop to get the vaccine. That means I can go see my family, well the ones that are vaccinated. I wouldn’t put others at risk because I am vaccinated. I can still give it to someone else who isn’t vaccinated. Also, the worry of getting Covid is less. Of course, still, wear my mask and wash my hand more often will still be a practice for me.

My hair really needed to be dyed! I gave myself a little hair cut too before dying it.

I did black and purple together for the top and middle. Then just purple on the ends. The results:

I LOVE IT! Jeff dyed my hair for me. He has gotten so good at it!

It’s the best hair dye! Iroiro has made my hair so soft. Also looks at the waves and curls. They are back! It feels like my hair. Before it felt dry and it was so straight. I have been trying to get it back to this. I finally succeeded. I used coconut oil conditioner and Sulfate free, argan oil shampoo.

This is the last dye I will do on my long hair. After this fades, goodbye hair. It’s really thick again and it will be nice to have no hair for summer.

Life

Got my dye! I decided to go with this brand. I wonder what the fade will be? I hope all my hair dyes this time too. I am doing black and purple mixed on top and in the middle of my hair. Then purple about 2 or 3 inches on the bottom. I interested in how it will look. I guess I will know this weekend.

Jeff bought Tex a new toy. He is so cute with it. It’s his ring and he LOVES to show it off. When Jeff comes home from work, he brings it to him to show off his toy. He is just too silly.

Also, Tex is so smart! He learned a new word “nice” in a week. Literally been teaching him since Monday. So crazy! Nice means keep your legs to yourself. We now let him be on the bed during the day. Also, when Jeff goes to bed Tex can now sleep with him. He used to think the bed was for play. Unfortunately, when I lay down he still thinks that way. So when I go to bed he has to sleep on his dog bed in the living room or his dog bed in the office. Pampered, right?! LOL!

Anyways on the bed, I like to pet him and give him belly rubs during the day. He kicks hard and he kicked me in the shoulder leaving a big bruise. He doesn’t mean to, he tries to move his arm under the hand. But he does that too aggressively. So I taught him “nice”, and on Wednesday he got to not kick and keep his legs to himself. How smart is that?! Now Jeff can say “nice” when we watch tv and he is petting him. He still does I will put my paw on your but he does not gently. He understands not to do that. I am proud of Tex!
