Our chest of broke! The bottom drawer died. It was on it’s way out but I finally did it and broke it beyond repair. So we needed a new chest of drawers and Jeff found this! I loved it because I really like the style.
In the ad I thought it was blue and tan but it’s black and tan. That’s okay I still love it. Also it was nice her son helped us load it in our car.
Also we sold our chest of drawers that was broken. Literally people will take anything for the right price. We made $20 dollars off the broken chess of drawers. And the woman didn’t even haggle so yay!
Tex came home! Yay! Oh he is more behaved! We have to do more at home. I have to work with him everyday to keep him well behaved. Sometimes he doesn’t listen to me but it’s all in just keep practicing. Soon the trianer will come back to our home to show us more stuff for us to work on. It’s awesome! He already knows but they say they have to teach the humans. Lol true!
Also we couldn’t believe it but Tex is taller! He looked different but it’s his face that is the same and that TONGUE! LOL! Doesn’t stay in his mouth. Of course when I want to take pic he moves.
On the Keto diet Jeff has lost 28 pounds all together. And I lost 10! It’s awesome!
Tex comes home on Saturday. I can’t wait we miss him.
I have been learning a computer language. I have been learning HTML5 at Codecademy.com I like they have a work area to make the lessons to see how the code works. Also awesome area to ask questions and others answer. It’s free and I like it even though it’s hard. After I learn HTML5 I want to learn CSS. What I want to do in the future is to make my own story game apps. I think that would be fun.
We put in an A/C in our house. It’s called a split system.
This cools the half of our house so nicely. Gets so hot on one side of the house because the sun always beams down on it. We do have an really old A/C but it is on the front of the house that works. But wow this split system is super quiet as well.
On Wednesday there was a baby buck in our back yard. Could tell is was a buck he had tiny fuzzy horns. Jeff got some good pics of him.
This coming weekend we are going to celebrate Independence Day. We went firework shopping last week. It was okay. It was really, really hot out!
I lost six pounds! I am happy but I wish it was more. Lol! The reason being is I have lost six, gained six, lost six and so on. So I wasn’t like jumping for joy that I lost six pounds. But it is a start.
Jeff has been working on his car. I think it’s cool he starting his hobby again. I have never seen him actually working on it since we been together. I can tell it makes him happy!
We sent off Tex. He is in training now for 2 weeks and we miss him. We won’t be able to celebrate his birthday which is the 4th. But we will when he comes back. I think this is good for him. We will have well trained dog that won’t run off. That is my biggest fear that he will run off and we will never be able to find him.
I picked this book up at a used book store and it’s the last in it’s series. Anyways don’t have to read the first two before it. This one was actually good. It had a car explosion, gun fight and action! Oh and the romance is pretty good in this one.
Finally another one that is good. There sure is a lot of these that are crap.
Now on to Keto diet. Wednesday I had the Keto Flu. OMG I felt like my head was going to fall off my neck. I had a queasy stomach as well. So basically I felt like crap all day. Thursday though I felt great. I am glad that only lasted one day.
I been having leg cramps. I couldn’t figure it out because I drink a ton of water all the time. I feel hydrated but I have terrible leg cramps in the morning where I feel I can’t walk they hurt badly. Found out I need more magnesium.
However I lost some I should I put it? I guess fat in my breasts. My breasts feel not as big even though they will always be big. lol! Looking forward to buying smaller bras.
For someone who thinks about food a lot. This diet has me not thinking of food. I usually think about lunch then what we are having for dinner. I don’t know why I would think this way. I would think of other things I would like to eat. Seriously I had a problem. I am also an emotional eater which is terrible.
I am influenced by ads. If I see a new chip flavor I want to try it. I say Doritos are my kryptonite. I like Doritos since forever.
Now on the diet I haven’t thought about food. It’s nice! I only eat when I am hungry which is two times a day. I don’t eat breakfast I am not a breakfast person anyways and I am done trying to force myself to eat breakfast. So no problem not eating till noon. I do drink coffee in the morning. Oh it’s so awesome! I have whipping cream instead of milk in my coffee and it makes it taste great. Also don’t really need that much of it in the coffee.
On the Keto diet for dinner my brain switched to I can only have this much to eat and that’s it. Now with the diet I can eat as much as I want for dinner which is all meat, no carbs and no sugar. We did have bacon and eggs one night and get this it was too much! I can’t believe it! One night we just ate bacon. It sounds silly. In fact I eat so much less then I ever have. One day I skipped lunched. It’s crazy to me.
I can’t believe in one week my brain has to switched to food, food, food to I am not hungry. When I see ads on the net or on TV I think POISON! I think this diet I will not cheat is ether. I can’t really without starting over. Nothing is worth eating to start over.
Last Sunday was Father’s day and we had the father’s at our house. Jeff cooked a great meal! We had bacon burnt ends so yummy! Also brats and burgers. We made devil eggs and a Keto friendly dessert that wasn’t that good. lol! My dad liked it though.
Jeff and I decided we are going on the Keto diet. We started on Monday and Jeff already lost 10 pounds even before we started. WTF!!! I am jealous also proud of him at the same time.
It’s strange I woke up today completely full like I just ate. In fact I didn’t eat lunch because of the full feeling. I’ll see how this goes. For the first 2 weeks we are going to have no carbs at all which I thought it was going to be hard. But I am in a great headspace. I really, really want to lose a lot of weight so I am very committed to doing this Keto diet.
My dad has lost 20 pounds and my 18 but what I couldn’t understand why only that amount? Because they have been doing it for awhile. Well found out on Father’s day why so little they cheat. This is a diet where you can’t cheat. Once that happens you have to literally start all over again.
I have big plans when I am small. Like new clothes! Sounds silly but right now clothes shopping for me is my worst nightmare. I hate it because I feel fat (and yes I am fat) and nothing seems to fit me the way I imagine in my head to look. Also feel great in my own skin would be pretty awesome! Just even losing 20 pounds I know I would feel better about myself. And that’s what’s in important on how I feel about myself. I am doing this diet for myself. However it does help that Jeff wants to do this too. We can are Keto buddies!
Last Friday Jeff had the day off and we planned to go to Green Bay for rich people rummage sales! I thought it was going to be awesome but it turned out disappointing. I thought nice neighborhood full of rich people they would get rid of some cool stuff. I was wrong.
There really wasn’t anything. A whole neighborhood of nothing. I found one doggie blanket and a pocket mirror at one. Then we went to Chrissy’s rummage sale and Andy was the only one there. He was telling us that Chrissy was setting out stuff he was still using. Lol! I did find this cute owl picture.
Only cost 7 dollars. I also found a cute heart mug and a Beauty and Beast glass for April. That’s it. We know not to go to those next year.
A few weekends ago we painted our bathroom. I keep forgetting to log into the journal. At one time someone painted the bathroom a peach color. Why?! I have no idea. I don’t care if was the 80’s. Peach! No way! Here is something that I have never encountered any place we lived in. Only one wall in the bathroom would streak. Like it looked like paint streaking but I could wash it off. I have no idea what that was?! Even when it was winter out that wall would streak. So crazy! Since we painted no more streaking on that wall.
I wanted to do a totally different color than tan or white or even off white. I wanted green. But not like dark green a light green. It turned out great!
What’s ironic Adam’s ex girlfriend gave us a picture with the same green. I didn’t know it till we were finished. How it matches. Lol!
I have read one of his other books A Goomba Ways of Life and it was pretty funny and fun to read. Actually Jeff got these books to read. But I know him he will never read them. Too bad too. They are booth good. This book made me laugh and has some good insight for regular life. I love the pics in this book too. Highly recommend this book.
44.
Meh. If I could I would skip this book. Ugh this book is whiny! I don’t really like books with whiny kids in them and this one has one. The only good part of this book was the end. There was no real romance till then. Not even the middle of the book was holding my interest. Oh well I read it and it was painful.
I have to share this pic of Tex and April they are buddies! So cute!
Seriously I think it goes me, April then Jeff when April comes over. LOL! And this is the dog that chose Jeff. Tex just loves April and always wants to play or try and crawl in her lap. Ha ha! Look at that tongue that is Tex’s signature.
Found out April’s cancer came back! I am mad and sad at the same time. Fucking Cancer! The only good news is it’s a slow moving cancer. It’s a lymph node in her throat since she has thyroid cancer.
Okay…So Jeff, April and I went down to Mayo in Rochester Minnesota which is about a 4 hour drive from where Jeff and I live. The day before we went to pick up April which is a hour and forty five minute drive. I only say how long because of what comes up soon. Want to add that Jeff is the best husband ever. Driving us there and back. Also driving around MN. I am glad he was there.
We got to MN in the night and stayed at a pretty okay hotel. The bathroom was strange. It was one room with a toilet and a very slippery shower/tub. While showering I thought how has anyone not fallen out of this tub? It was very slippery. The bed was okay as well. Funny April is like I hate this bed. I am going to sleep on the couch. She loved the couch. She even said I want to take this couch with me. Too Funny!
It’s crazy how they schedule things in Mayo. They schedule appointments way to close together. For example April’s first appointment was at seven in the morning then the next was at 7:45 in the morning. Thinking forty five minutes enough time. Nope! First they make you wait forever and you see the clock tick past your next appointment. We didn’t leave till 8:10. Thankfully they will still take you if you come late but isn’t that ridiculous!
April had three appointments in the morning then one in the afternoon. We got a little break and we ate then went shopping. Afterwards was the big appointment with the doctor to tell us the results.
April and I went into the appointment. I got the death glare from the doctor. She asked who is this. April said this is my sister. Truth! But the death glare? Really?! Anyway April kept asking her what’s the news? She kept side stepping it saying we will get to that. Okay you know it’s bad when the doctor doesn’t get to it.
Then what seems like forever she said that April had cancer and what she needs to do to take care of it. April was like no more surgery! She said surgery. But she gave another option Alcohol injection. Which is ethanol injected right into the lymph node. This should dry up and and disappear all together if successful. The doctor was not willing to say much about it which why?!
By this time April was giving her the business! ROFL! April stated we live in WI not MN. It takes roughly six hours to get here. Also I will not go to appointment after appointment just cause. Are you going to pay for everything? We are not all millionaires! Which Mayo loves to do! They love to schedule appointment after appointment, forever. We met some people who have been there from weeks to months! It’s insane! I love how she stated I have a life.
The thing was all the doctor could say was “I understand” and “You’re young.” When she didn’t know what to say she would say “I understand.” But really she didn’t. The doctor couldn’t give answers to the basic questions. Then when April asked about the injection the doctor answer was “You’re young.” Saying you’re young you can get the surgery and be fine. However April thinking and mine what if more lymph nodes get cancer can’t have surgeries forever. And that is the first thing the doctor said. You can only have so many surgeries and even going back to take this lymph node is risky. So….! The doctor was not listening and just saying those two things over and over. It was frustrating!
Now I am trying to help April on what to do. She suggested getting treatment in Canada which I didn’t think of but heard of others doing. Mayo is suppose to be the best of the best but at this point it doesn’t seem that way.
