I am on a path of finding myself and it’s beautiful! I decided to go on a spiritual journey. I am finding I am worth more than I give myself credit for. I am starting to understand more about my surroundings and how I project myself. I feel this is the way to go. For years I have been trying to figure out God in my life. I believe in God but I don’t feel any kind of religion. This makes me feel good and I am trying meditation. Taking one day at one time.
I got an implant last week Thursday. It was crazy! It bled so much. It was swollen for 4 days. I don’t remember any other dental implants that were that swollen for days like this one. The stitches like always were bothering me. I am glad to have them out.
Last week nothing really happened to write anything. This week however I learned something I wish I had known before. Ugh! Yes, I am going to complain about my in-laws again. I just don’t understand. Because I know Melina is not Darlene but Ken should be the same. Used to tell us important things going on in his life so why isn’t Melina like that? We do the same if something is important we talk about it with them. They are family.
We had Father’s Day here like we always do. It was a great day. Melina was acting so strange though. She was quiet and that isn’t her. On Wednesday Jeff saw his dad at work. He told him that Melina’s brother had died of cancer in May. MAY! Father’s Day in June. WTF! I wish we knew. We could have been more understanding towards her feelings on that day. I understand death is hard but Ken could have said something. They are so strange about that. We are for sure no longer close and that’s sad.
Melina called me to apologize for her behavior on Father’s Day. I told her not to be and that I understood. She is one of those people that can’t grieve right away and could tell she is having real trouble doing so. Ken told us she hasn’t cried all that much but is depressed about it. Understandable. Just wish we knew.
We had fun with Tex. We took him for a ride. Trying to show him when he goes for a ride it doesn’t mean bad for him. We went to Dunkin’ and he had a pup cup which he loved! He was so tired by the end of the ride though.
FINALLY! Finally, the truck has sold. Jeff met and negotiate with a ton of people for the truck. A young man came and looked at it. Then it was sold just like that. Jeff said he was a nice young man. He said this is what he had been looking for. So that was great! Now Jeff can stop being a butt. Lol! He was really stressing over the Silverado.
I finished this for Halloween. This one took FOREVER! It’s a list video. I can’t believe I watched all these movies!
On Thursday I had my stitches taken out. I have to go see the dentist next week. For some reason, my gums bloated up and they are starting to go over my screw. Not good! My dentist was actually worried. Gave me some prescription mouthwash to try. If that doesn’t do the trick, he says he will give me antibiotics to see if it will calm down. The best part of it is this all free to me. It’s all included in the price of getting an implant. Well except for the prescriptions but still that’s pretty cool.
My dad goes to the same dentist. I have been telling my dad since February that the dentist I see now is great! Everyone who works there is so nice and he should go. But he said that he liked his dentist. Then we got to talking about Bay Care in Green Bay. How you have to see your dentist then go there to get work done. It’s back and forth and costs so much money. For example at Bay Care when I got my tooth pulled in 2020 it costs me 200 out of pocket. At the dentist I go to now it was only 20 dollars out of the pocket of course with my insurance but still! Also, no going back and forth. He does it right there.
Finally, my dad went to see my dentist. He was so pleased! He said they took x-rays and explained everything in a lot of detail. Unfortunately, my dad needed 4 teeth pulled but were happy to finally find the problem with his teeth. He is doing good after the pull and happy with the dentist. Like I said he would be. lol!
Saturday is not only July 4 Independence Day, it’s Tex’s birthday. He is going to be 2!
Saturday will be the first time this year where Jeff and I are going to a family get together. We will see how that goes. I have heard some of my aunts are nervous coming. Anyways it will good to see them. No need for hugging. I think it will be fun.
We have been trying to sell our Durango since last year. It has happened! We said goodbye to our Durango on June 12.
The couple who came over and looked at it. They tried to strike a deal for a lot lower than we wanted. They came back almost 3 weeks later and said they would take it for what we were asking for it. Yay!
It took almost a week for the bank to clear everything and on June 12 at 11:30 at night they came and got it. Why they had to get it on Friday instead of Saturday. Maybe because the wife really wanted it since it was to be her car. She was excited to finally get it.
I have mix feelings. I am happy because we are closer to getting out of debt. But sad because it was a good car. However it did need work and there was some rust starting. It was fun to drive though.
I forgot to say on January 4. I was petting Tex and he was sitting on my foot like he always does. Then he saw Jeff pull into the driveway and got all excited like he always does. Except this time he used my foot as a launching pad to jump into the air and I heard crunch!
It hurt so badly! I thought for a couple days that he broke my little toe on my right foot. But after a few days I came to the conclusion it was two toes he broke. My two last toes on my right foot. I have been dealing with that. Nothing I can do really. Can’t go to the doctor because they don’t do anything for toes unless it’s the big one. I have been putting it up at night and taking painkillers. That’s all I can do till they heal.
On Friday the 11th. Well even before then Jeff had been complaining that he didn’t feel well. And didn’t know what to do. By Friday he came home and I admit he didn’t look too good so we went to the ER. He was complaining that his chest hurt and had a lump in his throat.
The time we checked in and the time we sat down. We had to get up again because we were called that fast. I think because Jeff said his chest hurt. They worked fast in the beginning.
They worked fast to rule out heart attack. They took blood to rule out other things. Jeff had to get an x-ray of his chest. It’s cool they gave us a print out of his x-ray. They ruled out a lot of things. Found out he was really dehydrated. They gave him I think it was three bags of solution which took the longest. We were there at five and didn’t leave to almost nine.
Since we were there so long ugh I was in so much pain when we got home. My foot! I couldn’t take off my shoes or put my foot up. It was swollen and painful all that night. Sleeping wasn’t really a thing that night because of the pain and nothing seemed to helped.
However I am glad he is okay though. I was so worried.
I had the nicest thing happen to me yesterday on Thursday. Went to the post office to send my friend Helen her package for Christmas. However they are always changing the rules when I send her packages. Sometimes they don’t want you to put on the label then they want too. It’s like make up your mind! Anyway I didn’t put the label on and they wanted the label on. Also they wanted me to buy the tape. Ridiculous! This woman behind me paid for the tape. I couldn’t believe it! I thanked her so many times, that was so nice!
I want to write about adoption again. Some of my family are really happy for us, so are friends. However what I didn’t count on is the other half. It’s strange to have some family not either want to talk about it or object going the adoption way. It’s not discouraging however, if they want to be that way then so be it. I look at it as this is our life and this is what we want to do. No one is going to talk us out of it. In fact we decided to go with Lutheran Counseling & Family Services. We had a great chat with Kate on Thursday and just talking to her, she help us make the decision to go with them. We start the process in January. We are very excited. She said for some reason they have been having lots of boys come through. However I told Jeff, I think we will have a daughter. Funny that is what April said too! It’s very exciting!
I am having the what the hell moment here. So Adam is back in town and he never contacted me. I had to be the one to contact him. I find that to be strange because he usually does. He talked a lot about coming over and hanging with us but so far nope. So what the hell?!
On Tuesday April came over and we made a ton of Christmas cookies. Tex wouldn’t stop licking my fingers and got powder sugar all over his face. Silly dog!
Then April wanted to make a egg nog bundt cake. So we did.
My tongue doesn’t know how to handle it though. Funny! It’s like there isn’t supposed to be nothing there. There hasn’t been for almost three years. Feels like it’s too big to be in there even though it’s tiny. I am happy with it and you can’t tell it’s fake from the rest of my teeth.
I am going for round two getting another implant this November. Yeah a full set on one side.
We moved all in our new house. Now we just have boxes everywhere! Time to unpack and stay for a long time. That is a good feeling.
Unfortunately because if you are married you know husbands do not listen. I told Jeff he was going to hate the bathroom. And guess what? He hates the bathroom. I know what he would say ‘well we were going to buy the house anyways’. Yeah I know. Funny!
When I step on the tub it makes creaking sounds. Also it’s tiny. We have to redo the bathroom. Good thing my husband is good at finding things on sale. We are hoping Jeff’s Uncle Jules can help us with the bathroom. He does that for a living doing construction projects and he runs his own business. Maybe he will give us discount you know family discount that would be nice.
I will keep you updated on the whole bathroom thing.
