More people at Jeff’s work got Covid. So now Jeff has to work from home instead of his every other week.

I feel at this point, whatever. I know I shouldn’t say that but I feel eventually we all will get it. Unfortunately yes some will get it much worse than others. But for me, I think I will get it and survive and so will Jeff. It’s called positive thinking. Also, they say vaccine. They don’t even have a vaccine for the common cold. So…yeah I don’t really see a vaccine coming any time soon. I am skeptical of getting a vaccine right away anyways. I know they do trials and such. But talking about the government here and I don’t trust them.

Last week our governor said all of the state of Wisconsin needs to wear a mask everywhere. I understand stores but restaurants? I don’t know if they are really helping. I DO wear my mask in every store I go. But I can see why people don’t want too. Like I said we all going to eventually get it. Unless someone lives in their homes forever but what kind of life is that?

I was really scared in the beginning because of the fear media. But not anymore and I don’t watch the media. Now the only thing I worry about is Jeff going to able to keep his job? I hope so and don’t reduce his hours either.

Goodbye 2020 I want you to leave, there is the door. —>

Yesterday Jeff and I went to a new restaurant for us. My parent’s told us about it. It’s called the Greenwitch Bistro. It was really, really good! Everything there is organic. The service was amazing as well. We will definitely be going back.

I call it the great debate of 2020. To wear a mask or not. Jeff hates wearing his mask. I think it’s a good idea to wear a mask. Even got a fancy one.

I have crazy frizzy hair. Lol!

Last week, we had my sister’s dog. Bailey and Marley. At first, everyone got along until late Tuesday. Marley peed in the house three times and pooped in our home two times. He supposed to be potty trained, I guess not in my house for some reason. He also didn’t like Tex after Tuesday. Think because was jealous that Tex and Bailey were hanging out. He would bark and growl at him. Good thing that is all he would do and not be aggressive to him.

Bailey and Tex were buddies. It was neat to see. They would play ball together! If Bailey got the ball first she would drop it and Tex would bring it to me. So silly! I called her Diva as well because all she wanted to be is the center of attention. Bailey was so cute!

However it was time for them to go. It’s was pretty cool to have four dogs and to see what’s like to have more than two. I think one day I would like to have three dogs all at once but four is a bit much for me.

The poop situation wasn’t a big deal as my mom and sister thought it would be. My dogs poop bigger and at least 2 times a day most of the time. So it wasn’t bad at all.

Having Bailey and Marley convinced Jeff of getting a medium-size dog because all he wants is big dogs. Lol!

They were happy to go home and I am happy to have my two fur babies.

Bailey is the light tan and Marley the dark brown. They are Labradoodles. It’s funny they wanted to share that tiny bed.

Last weekend was the 4th of July. We went to my parent’s house. I saw three of my aunts and uncles. Some were leery about getting close to anyone and one of my aunts was like “Can I just hug you?” I was like yes! I haven’t been anywhere.

Everyone was there for maybe a couple of hours but Jeff and I stayed a lot longer then that. It was nice to chat with the parents.

Also on the 4th was Tex’s birthday! He turned 2.

We got him a Kong ball. Since Tex is a heavy chewer and he loves his other Kong toy. He hasn’t destroyed that we figured a ball would hold up. Tex loves balls it’s his favorite toy.

Back up to last Wednesday July 1st. Jeff and I did our first landscaping project. We have been talking about it forever and finally did it. We put down rubber mulch and planted some Hostas.

Father’s Day is next weekend on Sunday. Last month we invited the father’s to our place like it was a normal year. Of course my parents said yes right away. I said that I bet Jeff his parents will say no. He said he gave them 90% they would say no.

Guess what they said no.

I have to vent because I asked Jeff does that make you mad? He said not as mad as you get. I told him why it makes me mad.

Here is why: I remember Jeff’s mom Darlene. I loved her like my second mom. I remember she called, emailed or FB messenger us frequently. There wasn’t one week we didn’t hear from her.

After her passing then Ken got remarried. It has been distant Ville. We NEVER hear from him. It pisses me off because of what I stated about Darlene being in our lives. We don’t hear what he is doing or if they are okay or they got a new dog. WTF?!

I hate it! Just because he got married doesn’t mean he can throw away our relationships. I don’t understand. I don’t feel hurt, I feel very disappointed in him.

Jeff said that he never thought of it that way. I didn’t tell him to have him feel bad or feel the same. He said he understands now and he wanted to think on it.

In any case we are going to have a good Father’s day.

Soon I will be adding my collectibles. I have so many and have some great stories attached to them. I like reliving the memories.

I hurt my arm. I think I sprain my bicep. Ugh it has been hurting bad since we did the floor. That’s all I think why my bicep hurts so much.

We decided to sell the Durango because we owe a lot on it and we want to start to try to get out of debt. I mean we already started to get out of debt it’s the one bill that would help if we could sell it. That means the truck needs to be fixed and Jeff has been trying.

Go figure when Jeff is fixing the truck someone wants to look at the Durango. So if they want it we have no vehicle to drive. So it’s fast track to fix the truck. We do have the option of borrowing my mom’s car but I really hate driving that car. Plus I know Jeff will hate driving it as well. I hope he can fix the truck in time if they want it.

If it does sell that’s where our stimulus check is going. To pay off the rest. Hope it happens.

All I can say is when you get older pulling teeth is harder. Ugh! Will the pain ever end? Also this week I have found that there was pieces of my tooth still inside. I was worried because I woke up one day and the clot had come out. Never had that happen before but lucky because the rest of the tooth chunks came out with it.

I can’t just sit around waiting for my tooth gap to heal. So I mowed the lawn the other day. I have to say my mouth hurt so much that night. UGH!!

However it’s starting to fold inside its self. That means it’s healing nicely. I rinse with salt water every night that helps. I just can’t wait till I don’t have to think about it.

I have been dealing with my tooth since last year. AND of course it started to hurt when eating. “They” said save the tooth! Get a root canal done. “They said.” Well all that pain and all the pills. I physically couldn’t handle it anymore. The antibiotics I have been on since March. My body is like no more!

I called the endodontist last Thursday. He wanted to put me back on antibiotics. I told them it actually hurts worst then before the root canal. He said time for it to come out.

I at first really wanted to keep it but not for all the months of pain and antibiotics. They got me in on Thursday so that’s good I didn’t have to be in terrible pain for long. I haven’t had a tooth extraction with a crown and root canal done in a very, very long time. So I was unsure what it would sound like.

Terrible is what it sounds like. The crown sounded like someone took a jawbreaker and smashed it on the ground. I have never had anyone take a grinding tool to split my tooth in half to take it out. It was awful! For sure the worst tooth I have ever pulled. Lots of blood.

I had the worst headache when I got home and went to bed at 8 at night. I couldn’t handle the pain I was in. On Friday my mouth was swollen. I also have little cuts and I think maybe some bruising in my cheek. It was terrible. I hope it’s the last tooth ever to come out.

I was telling Jeff in my lifetime which I am only 37. I have had 15 teeth pulled out that includes wisdom teeth. I think the average person has 32. So yeah it’s a lot. I am going to have to figure out what to do with my teeth so I can eat properly. But I can’t till next year anyways.

Remember this stuffed animal we got accidentally by our mailman? He got a new purpose. I call him Anxiety bear. I have been having bad anxiety about going to the dentist(s) for my tooth. I remember when I got Lasik and they let me hold a stuffed animal when getting the procedure done. I thought why not do that at home. So before every appointment I hold him and rub his ears and arms. My hands get really sweaty too. When I hold Anxiety bear and play with him, I can just sweat on him too. I know this sounds strange. I have to say it helped so much! I couldn’t believe it. I felt calmer when I went to the dentist. I still do breathing exercises but they weren’t really helping me, alone. Anxiety bear helps me. I don’t take it in with me but just holding him before and the car ride over has helped.

Last weekend we got our living room floor done. Wow what an improvement!

We bought this rug. It’s doggy approved.

Last weekend we decided to paint before putting down the floor. So if any paint gets on the floor no big deal. We painted the hallway and one closet. It went from white to tan which is the same color as our living room.

Was supposed to do flooring this weekend. But I got a sinus infection been sick all week. Starting to feel better but not totally myself. Seems like the floor is just never going to get done. Even though I know it will.

Getting ready to do some floors this weekend! Finally no more garbage floors. Excited to get some work done as well. I have been feeling like a slouch since Jeff works from home. The disadvantage of living in a small home.

Was worried that Jeff would be unemployed because a lot more people got laid off this week. But he gets to keep his job. Our lock down has been extended to May 26.

Pictures to follow what we get done this weekend.
