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.
Sunday was Father’s day. My parents came over and it was a warm sunny day! I was happy it was nice out we could sit outside. Jeff made bacon burgers and brownies. It was so yummy! We gave dad a gift card to Menards since he is planning on building things for their home.
What I am really impressed is Tex. He didn’t bark at them like he usually does! He was adulting! At first he was a little timid but then it was a flurry of kisses! Lol! He really likes my dad. Kept going over to be petted by him.
He was a tired boy at the end of the day.
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.
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.
The tin is a sea shell and in the amethyst rocks are from my Grandpa on my dad’s side. The fools gold are Jeff’s. The orange rock is actually sort of shaped like a rock. Jeff got me that. The plastic fox is also from my Grandpa whom I am named after. His name was Daniel and I of course is Danielle. After he died I got this from him. The toy was inside of the shell container I don’t think anyone knew it was in there. It’s cool to have something from him. I remember him a little he died when I was a child.
These are from my Grandma on my dad’s side. Now I remember her she died when I was close to being a teenager. She got Alzheimer’s. I remember visiting at a nursery home. It was sad she didn’t remember my dad most of the time. After she died I got these two figurines. That’s why they are special I have something from her.
I bought these two in the 90’s at a Goodwill in Appleton. I simply thought they were cute.
I couldn’t believe about 2 months later I was in Green Bay at Saint Vincent De Paul. To find two more. And to have them be different and far apart from each other. What luck. They were meant to be mine!
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.
I beat Resident Evil 3 the other day. Now I can write my own opinions on the game.
First this game the original was the first Resident Evil game I beat. I remember spending weeks on it. I remember how scary it was with the Nemesis chasing me. Resident Evil 3 was the very first. At that point I had Resident Evil which to this day I haven’t completely beat and Resident Evil 2 which I went back and beat. But RE 3 was the first.
I was excited about this remake. I loved RE 2 remake. So this had to be just as good or better right…..
WRONG! What were they thinking making this one?
I have 2 major problems with this title. One: Nemesis. When he showed up and the running away from him in the beginning. I was laughing! Not scared. He looks so stupid! I know they were “trying” to make him look updated scary but they failed. He looks dumb. I also wanted him to say “STARS!” Way more like I remember.
Second Brad. How Brad died. He is part of S.T.A.R.S. he gets bit by a zombie. A ZOMBIE!!!!!! NOOOO!!!! In the original he dies by Nemesis. Why didn’t they keep it that way? I have a problem with him dying by a zombie. He is an elite officer and he dies by a zombie. I hate it! Brad is a coward in RE. They could have made him a hero. Sacrifice himself for Jill in this one. I don’t understand why they didn’t.
One death I don’t mind that didn’t happened was Carlos. Who does die in the original but this one he doesn’t. Then are they going to add him in the later titles? Maybe one of the movies? Many questions on why they left him alive. Does he become Jill’s friend or more….?
I know Chris and Jill. But I never saw them that way. More like BFF’s.
Isn’t Jill the strongest character as well?! She gets knocked around with the Nemesis and doesn’t die. Crazy! I just had to say that even though she is in my top 3 faves just not 1.
Wesker, Chris then Jill. Are my faves.
Back to RE 3. The chasing scenes are the hardest and scariest. I am not good at those at first. Once I got the hang of dodging then they were bearable. I didn’t know this but now I am on my second round of going through the game. The Nemesis seems more aggressive. Didn’t know you could make him madder. Yikes!
Of course there are parts that I hate more than others. One is putting on the power for the station with the maze of gross bugs. I get lost in there. I still don’t like Hunters. They are still hard to kill but dodging helps.
Overall it isn’t a terrible game but it isn’t the greatest. RE 2 is better than it’s original where RE 3 the original was better.
If they do make RE 4 I hope they go with the formula of RE 2. Now RE 4 is a game I have only gotten half way through. It would be cool do actually beat it.
Games from the Resident Evil franchise would be cool if they remade. Code Veronica. I want a remake of that. It’s one of my favorite story lines and favorite book from the series.
Resident Evil Outbreak. That I have to say the one I played the most! There was a squeal but the first was the best.
