I didn’t get my ears pierced even though I really wanted to. The wait was insane to get them done. So, thought of getting them done at a tattoo place but damn it’s so expensive. Now, I know I shouldn’t do my own ears but I am going for $7 dollars. Well, Jeff is going to pierce my ears. lol! Oh well, it’s happening this weekend.

WTF???? Pay money to get Tex groomed and it was shit! I told Jeff we have to get Tex groomed my allergies are bad. So, we took Tex to be groomed and they did a shit job! I am mad! They got shampoo in his eye and did somehow hurt his upper back. Went to hug him like I always do and he whimpered. Found he had a little bump that hurt. It finally went away and he is fine. WTF?! They never said anything about it. Also, Jeff and I brushed Tex for 20 mins and he looks much better. WTH! I mean that’s the reason why we got him groomed. UGH! Every pet place in our town is shit. We will find another place next time. Just ridiculous.

It’s finally here my medal for completing this YES.fit.com race. Dolphin discovery 69.7 miles.

It’s really heavy. It’s more than I thought it would be and I love it! The pic doesn’t do it justice but it’s fantastic!

Today I am getting my ears pierced. This will be the last time I do it. If my ears reject this time, I am done for the rest of my life. Going for one piercing on each side, traditional piercings. I will just get more tattoos instead. LOL! But really I am getting another tattoo next year. A lot smaller one and I can’t wait.

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.

I have been thinking lately. It would be nice if someone asked me how I was doing. I am always the listener but rarely the listened to. It gets tiring after a while. That is just how I have been feeling lately. This also goes with why I don’t think I am an interesting person. Jeff said I am but he can be biased. lol!

I watched three scary movies in a row and that’s super rare. I also watched 2 fun movies as well. I have been wanting to watch something scary and just couldn’t find anything super scary. I finally watched Halloween Ends. Can that be the end? Ugh, those movies are so very stupid. But I can say I have watched all the Halloween movies. I watched on Netflix Choose or Die. It was scary but not super scary but fun! I also watched on Tubi Borely Rectory 2017. That was fun! It was live-action animation. I love that stuff! Then I watched on Tubi Hell House LLC trilogy really scared me. That’s rare to have three movies in a series that is equally scary and even more so scarier than the first. I thought Hell House LLC 2 was the scariest!

It will be okay. I will be okay with my stomach. I now have a fire to lose weight and get better. I know I can do it because I have done it before. Go me! I walked 2 miles this week and I am super proud of myself for doing so.

Sigh…..April is getting on my nerves again. It’s on and on forever, it seems. I have told her many times that this summer I am busy. That the one time we planned for her to be here was your last chance till maybe fall. She couldn’t come to see me because I had COVID earlier this year. She didn’t come because of her mother. She is 39 years old. She can make up her own mind. Her mother was afraid she would get it but that was several weeks after I had it and was all better. I am mad about it because she hasn’t been to my home since 2019. But I have driven there so MANY times and even helped her move. She can’t come to my house? Ugh! I am done with it.

Sometimes I just to the point that I am done with certain things. I have noticed lately as I have been thinking about my mortality for some reason. It’s a strange thing to explore. Which makes me just be done with certain things.

We celebrated the Fourth on the second at my Uncle’s house. I was surprised by how few people showed up. I saw my Uncle Dan he is doing well after his wife passed. It was nice to see everyone who was there….Well not everyone. I have decided I am done with my cousin Alice. I know, I know I have said that for years but this time I am done. I didn’t really even talk to her. It’s clear she doesn’t really want me in her life and that’s that.

I had to go to the hospital for a test for my acid reflux. It just has been bad since late last year. I was for sure thinking I had an ulcer. Well, not that. I do have acid reflux but it’s mild. I found out I have an incurable stomach issue. I have gastroparesis. Basically, my stomach can’t process certain foods easily. I had to fast to get this test done and hadn’t eaten anything for 12 hours. Cheese stuck in my stomach from eating that at noon the day before. I do have some of the symptoms that go along with that as well. So, I am unsure about going forward and what I will do for sure.

Tex turned 5! Can he stop aging now? He had a great bday! He got a dog cookie. My mom and dad got Tex a new toy! He is such a good boy! We love him very much.

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.

I got to hang out with my mom on Wed. We went out to eat and went to the huge sale at Herrschners. It was fun. Here is my haul:

It is done. Our house and we love it!

Before:

After:

We love it so much!

IT’S DONE! YAY! I am beyond happy with it!

Hubby took a video of it because it’s too big to put into pictures. He added music too. It’s great!

I am in love with it! This video does it justice as I can’t see all of it just by looking down.

This was super painful and I was happy to have it end. Wade the tattooer told me I was AMAZING! Lol! I didn’t swear or take a lot of breaks. I only took one break and endure the rest. It was the most painful ever! Wade said I could really get any tattoo anywhere because you know some tattoos are really painful like this one because I did a great job enduring it.

It’s weeping a lot! Every time I had it done it weeped. Because this is bigger it’s weeping a lot that is normal. I can’t wait for it to be healed. It’s gonna be so cool!

Next Wednesday I can’t wait to get my tattoo all finished! I am so excited to end the process. I can’t wait to see it all done.

I can’t believe it’s going to be June. Going to hang out with my mom to go crafting one full day! Which is one of my favorite things to get and look at. Something else to look forward to.

Okay, one more thing. Next week Jeff and I will almost be done with getting the house ready for the builders to come and change the outside of our house. We, also get new windows! I am excited.

I finished another YouTube video:
