Saw April in her home. She is looking good. Her cat Sage is super happy she is home. I am happy for her. Going to have her charity event on July 27. Thanks to Chrissy. I hope it’s not a million degrees outside. Been absolutely hot out!

I am planning my sleeve tattoo!! I have consultations in Oct. I am going to get to half-sleeve lower of steampunk. I am super excited it’s going to be my right arm.

It’s my bday on Sunday! I will be 41. Wow!

On Friday going to see Chrissy and family. Then on Saturday going to see the in-laws for family bdays. Sunday is my bday and I am doing nothing.

Bad news I have a tooth that hurts but the tooth is healthy. So, I have to see another dentist to have tests done if it’s a nerve thing instead of the actual tooth. I have a severe headache that goes into my eye. All that helps a bit is Excedrin. I hope they can help me. I can’t with this headache. That’s Tuesday and hoping it’s a solution.

Last week I was so sick! Jeff gave me his cold. Ugh, I am not having a good beginning of the year. I am all better. But jeez!

I am excited for the rest of the week though. Time to have some fun.

Here I am again feeling mad about my family. I am tired of this. Ugh! FAMILY! We have a chat group of the siblings and I told Chrissy. I told her good luck getting money from Adam. As we are going in for parents gift every year. Then Chrissy said Adam you going in with the gift? Of course, Adam complains he has to pay rent and a high bill. I called him out because at this point I am done. We all have problems it’s called life. He complains so much and the others let him get away with it. I am done. This new year I am not holding back anymore. I am done with his shit or anyone else’s shit.

Something awesome. I am getting another tattoo. A lot smaller one. I am getting it Dec 26. Will share afterward. Excited!

Last Thursday was Thanksgiving. It was a different kind of Thanksgiving. We only stayed for 3 hours. Usually, we stay for 6 or more, depending on. We played a game with mom. We ate. Tell you what eating at Thanksgiving used to be so stuff can’t move. Now it’s so puny. Korrie my new cousin made the turkey and there wasn’t much there. It was so pathetic. I am glad to leave only after 3 hours. Not a lot of people talking to each other either because the Packer game was on.

I finished this cute penguin.

Mother’s Day went good. I made these flowers for my Mom, sister, and sister-in-law.

Chrissy really loved these. She was like how long did it take you? WOW! I love these. I think she thanked me a million times, which surprised me. That day was a good day.

I am all the better from my rashes which whew I thought I would have to see a dermatologist. I am glad I do not have to. I am getting another implant in July. I am looking forward to it and I am looking forward to finishing my tattoo.

Made up with my sister so Mother’s Day is back on. It was good we could move
passed it like adults.

My legs! Sunday, I went back to Urgent Care. I got another round of pills. I
was debating on seeing a dermatologist because I figured skin, they know skin.
But now I think I will wait. I think my legs got extremely dry. They felt very
scaly. I got Aquaphor and wow this stuff has helped me so much! I really wished
I did this first before going back the 3rd time but at least now I can
get some relief. Also, I am able to sleep which is so important. I was not a
happy person because I couldn’t sleep because of my legs.

We went to Ulta Beauty on Tuesday because I had to go to the dentist to make a
plan for another implant. I wanted to get my mom a gift card for there. I have
only been in Ulta one time with my mom. I don’t know, I thought it was going
to be fun to look around. I was wrong! This place actually gave me anxiety and I
was having a wonderful day. First of all, the smells were all perfume mixed
together literally burning my eyes. I felt like I didn’t belong there. I
wanted to look at the makeup but just couldn’t. I felt so anxious there. So,
crazy! We just got the gift card and left. I never want to go back there again.

I only did it myself but going through carb withdrawals. lol! It sucks. Oh well, it will get better.

I just found out that my town is getting my favorite coffee shop, a Dunkin’ Donuts I am excited.

I am unsure what I should make my sister-in-law for Mother’s Day. Ugh, I hate it. So, I am making flowers for my mom and my sister. I don’t want to make flowers for my sister-in-law as I don’t like her. I usually give her the ugliest flowers. Lol! I did that last year. But I can’t just make flowers for my mom and my sister as we all celebrate together. Ugh, oh well again. It is what it is. I just don’t like the fact I have to waste my time making something for someone who I don’t want to. I am just going to do it anyways.

I feel better from Covid took forever. There are some side effects I have noticed from having Covid. One thing is some coffee that I liked before doesn’t taste great anymore. That sucks. Another thing is I think Covid damaged the nerve in my jaw. I gotta talk to my dentist when I see him later this year on seeing someone to take a look at it. I went for a cleaning and my teeth are doing great but OMG my jaw hurt so bad later that day and the next day and the next. It felt like I fell on my face hard. I couldn’t talk that much or eat because my jaw hurt so bad. It didn’t feel like any one tooth it felt like my whole jaw was in pain. When I first got Covid my mouth hurt really badly for a good week. Then it started to get better till I went to the dentist and had to hold up my mouth open. I really think it’s a nerve in my jaw. I feel better now but it could hurt in the future. So, gonna see what can be done about that.

I have been thinking lately and decided to make this week about Tex. I was thinking that Tex and I have a unique relationship. He is by far the most intelligent dog we have had. Also, the most emotional dog ever too.

He gives me Tex sandwiches which I totally love! Every morning he comes over and sits on top of me and I pet him. He gives me a thousand kisses too! I pet his head and neck which he loves. Never had a dog do that. I give him Tex sandwiches too. Which means I give him hugs. He loves HUGS! His tail is wagging so hard. It’s great.

He is the best. Don’t get me wrong I loved our other fur babies too. They all were unique in their own way.

I think because we have had Tex from a puppy. Got to see every stage till now. I am dreading the later stages. But that’s life it goes on.

I love the relationship I have with Tex. I mean look at him. So cute!

We decided that we will celebrate every other Thanksgiving with my family and then the other year with Jeff’s family. It’s only fair. Plus we both need a break from each other’s family. LOL!

Anyways, Jeff’s dad Ken has told us he could take off of work anytime. Also, he is working now because he is bored since his wife will not stop working. He went back to work at his old job. He can work from home or go to the office. He does both. So, Jeff asked if we can come and see them on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving a MONTH before Thanksgiving. Ken finally got back to us and said he and his wife have to work and can’t. SO, Jeff said we will be near them on Wednesday can we come and see him just for a little bit. No, we can’t because he will be at the office. I think it’s an excuse. We haven’t seen them since Father’s day. I think it’s BULLSHIT! I feel hurt and so does Jeff that they never want to see us anymore. They don’t even make suggestions to see us if something doesn’t work out. I am sick of this shit. We are family and should be able to see each other. I am beyond heated on this. I don’t understand ever since Ken got remarried it’s been hard to go and see them.

I think the reason I am so mad is that my parents are always like when can we see you. Come and see us. It’s the very opposite.

Oh well, I am trying not to be so mad about it even though it’s difficult. We will still have a good Thanksgiving anyways. We get to skip all the traffic and have fun at home. Gotta watch Trains, Planes, and Automobiles which we always watch at or around Thanksgiving.

A neat lady I have known all my life passed away on Tuesday, September 20, 2022. Her name was Aunt Sue.

She was my dad’s sister-in-law. She was such a great lady. She was out of a box kind of person and I loved that about her. When I was a kid, I used to go and hang out at her house. I used to watch John Wayne movies with Uncle Dan and talk with Aunt Sue. I loved seeing her for Thanksgiving. She was an amazing lady.

She started to fade for some years as she developed Alzheimer’s disease. Only some weeks was she put into a great facility her oldest daughter found for her as Uncle Dan no longer could care for her on his own. Then she got Covid. She decided she no longer wanted to be around. She stopped eating and drinking then she passed away. It was very sad!

I rather not think of her that way. I will always have fond memories of her. In October the family will do a celebration of life. I like those so much more than funerals.

I love you, Aunt Sue. You did live a great life and had a great family. You will always be the cool Aunt.
