I felt so bad on Saturday! That day was lunch with Chrissy and their family. I almost canceled because I felt so bad. But I went anyways. I had a great time with everyone and Chrissy got me this for my birthday this Friday!

That is a purse which is cool. I told her she didn’t have to get me anything and she paid for lunch. That was so nice of her to do. She asked if she should invite Corey and Kim and I said no. Hahahaha! My theory with Corey is we all have internet he could contact me at any time and he never does so oh well with him. I am too old to deal with family bullshit.

Later on Saturday, I did go to Urgent Care. The doctor told me I got a cold after having Covid. She gave me some cough suppressants and they have helped so much! No more waking up at night to cough and feeling terrible because of coughing. I still feel not myself a hundred percent but I think I am getting there.

I am 40 today! 40! I can’t believe I am 40 now. I am not sure how to feel about it. One thing though is I made it! I am still here. I am happy about that.

Well, I am feeling better from Covid except for this chest cough. I gotta go to the doctor’s next week to see what can be done.

Today I am having lunch with my sister and her kids. To celebrate my birthday which is next Friday. I think that will be fun.

I have to add this. This creeped me out! About a month ago April told me these two elderly ladies were checking out. April works at Walmart as the self-checkout cashier. She said she had a nice conversation with them as they were checking out. Their bill came to a little over a thousand dollars! Then they took off! The police were called and April had to make a statement. Yesterday the police came to her work and told her they caught one of the ladies. April asked if she gotta go to court now. The police officer said no because they have been looking for her because she committed murder. MURDER!!!! AHHHHH! April chatted with a murderer. That’s creepy to her and me. She said she couldn’t believe it and this woman is like in her 70s. So crazy!

After 3 years Jeff got Covid from a co-worker. Then I got it. It has sucked so much! It has been over a week now since I got it. UGH! I lost my taste and smell for 2 days. I didn’t like that.

After a week of having Covid, I have so, so much mucus. I hate it! There is little to say this week as I am still recovering from Covid.

Sigh. I don’t think I have acid reflux, I think I have a throat ulcer. I can’t get it looked at till JULY! WTF?! Everything is booked up till then. I am on a waiting list but it is still JULY?! I did email my doctor to see what she can do for me. Just waiting now. The waiting game is the one game I hate!

Tex is looking handsome! He got groomed. AND we decided to do a subscription for barkbox. We did 6 months to see how it goes. Here is what he got:

He got 4 toys, 4 treat bags, and 3 treat sticks. Which I think is a lot. However, he has already destroyed 3 out of the 4 toys already. So these toys are disposable. Not really liking that but it is what it is. Also, it’s cool to have all the treats but wish the toys weren’t so easily destroyed. We will be only doing the 6 months since we already paid for it. I wouldn’t recommend this if your dog is a heavy chewer even though we did do the heavy chewer box. He still destroys them in an hour.

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!

Got one problem solved. I had to take out another tooth. I was talking with Jeff and now I officially have 16 teeth total. That isn’t good. I did not get my implant but changed of plans. Going to still get an implant where he took out my tooth. At least that is something.

One more week and I can see the doctor about my acid reflux. That means I can get another problem solved.

Jeff is getting his first cleaning at the dentist I go to next week. I want to know his opinion of the place.

OMG! The show the Last of Us based on the video is AMAZING! I have NEVER EVER seen anyone get it so right! FINALLY! Finally, someone made the show just like the game. I loved that game. I played it many times. So I know what’s happening but I love it! Jeff doesn’t play video games however he loves the show as well.

Is it the beginning of the year? Is Danielle’s health terrible again in the beginning of the year? Yes! WHY?!

My acid reflux has been bad. So much so that I have to go see a doctor about it. I couldn’t get in till Feb. I have been trying to deal with that. When I lay down I get this huge lump in my throat and sometimes it burns. Thankfully, I only threw up acid once, and once is enough for me. Which also means I can’t have yummy food with any kind of seasoning. I am also doing Keto so I need salt but can’t eat that much salt because of acid reflux. Like really?! I am trying to balance it out till I can see the doctor.

I switched doctors. I don’t why it has taken me this long to switch. My regular doctor works at Thedacare. He has NEVER listened to me. I am sick of that. Screw him and Thedacare. I need to see someone who listens to me. So, I chose Prevea. See how that goes. What’s cool about finding a doctor of today is all the Google reviews on them. Can see if there is a chance I will like a doctor or not. Also, this is the first in a long time that I have chosen a female doctor. I usually go for male doctors because they are more gentle when getting a pap smear and those kinds of things. But, so far that has been the case but at the same time, I need to be heard.

I have a tooth that is dying in my mouth. Can I win? NO! I had the strangest thing happen. Sitting at night I heard that tooth CRACK! like on the inside. I have never heard that before from a tooth. I am supposed to get an implant on Monday. So I have been trying to hold out till then. It’s been okay. Thank goodness for Ibuprofen. LOL! I am hoping that can extract the tooth and put the implant in the same place right away. My mouth is going to be so sore on Monday. But I rather have a sore instead of a pain.

Winter decided to show up on Wednesday night. It was sort of warm and we could see grass. Now it’s a winter wonderland again. That’s how my beginning of the year is going so far.

I want to thank my husband Jeff. Was having a problem uploading to my blog. He took some time and found a solution for me so I can continue writing in my blog.

Let’s talk about that A Small Orange. WTF! I wanted to put more pics on my blog. I couldn’t, kept saying I ran out of space. They told us that I had enough space. They were wrong. So, Jeff did some investigating for me and found a different provider. First of all, was a lot cheaper than A Small Orange and I now can add all the pics I want to my blog.

Here is the thing I have been using A Small Orange for more than eight years and they didn’t want to help me. That’s not a company I want to keep around. They should have been more grateful that I stuck around. Instead, they brushed me off. So fuck ’em. They don’t deserve loyal customers.

Now I want to add the pics from last month that I couldn’t show before.

Jeff got me great stuff for Christmas. He got me this huge bag of coffee. I am in heaven. Lol!

He also got me a beautiful necklace! A funny; Jeff is like why do you love penguins so much. I am like they are so cute. Aren’t you sick of them? No way!

Awe it’s so very cute! Jeff said that is me and him. Yes!

Time for Tex pics! He got some cool stuff for Christmas.

See the orange one. That’s his orange and it squeaks! He loves it of course.

This was his joy. He destroyed it and now it’s no more. My parents gave it to him but it didn’t last sadly.

Chrissy was the winner of Christmas besides us. Lol!

He has his stocking and his bottle. Lol!

I am happy I can continue writing on my blog. My husband is so great!

Happy New Year! YAY! I made it a whole another year!

Time for a year to rewind! I went through some changes this year. I finally went to see the doctor about my anxiety which was huge for me. I have been dreading getting that taken care of. But….I am still working on it. Still need to see the doctor to get my medication adjusted however I am proud of myself for finally going.

I got the run around from my old dentist. It made me mad! I was in so much pain. I have had enough of my small-town dentists. Google search found my dentist for most of the rest of my life, I hope. Something surprising I got almost all of my immediate family to go there too. Good for them! Everyone there is so super awesome and nice. I am glad my old dentist messed up, so I could go there instead. This year was the year of teeth again. I had 2 toothaches, put in a screw I didn’t know I couldn’t get (thanks to insurance), broke a tooth, had two pulled out, and got a mouth guard for the night.

I did one virtual race and started another. Have not finished that one yet. Going to join the rat race as they say. Going to join all the people losing weight for the new year but I want my momentum to continue all year. I hope this is the year that Jeff and I can go on vacation.

I can’t believe it but Tex will be 5 this year! No! I want him to stay in his puppy ways forever. 4 was a good age for Tex. He grew up but still remained himself. He didn’t have an awesome year as he got really sick. But was able to help him and he got better.

I am looking forward to this year to see what it brings. I hope mostly good things!

Jeff did a good job with the lights on the windows. Everything looks good.
