First I want to start with what made me mad. Since the start of January I asked Chrissy if her and her husband want to get together for game night. At first she said should couldn’t in the beginning because she a business trip. Then we couldn’t because Jeff had to work all the next weekend. So we decided on this weekend Saturday, January 27. She said that was perfect because her dad was taking her kids for the weekend. But then two of you friends died tragically. I understand but that was before the 27th was a week away. I understand it’s sad I had a friend die.

If she wanted canceled she could have said I can’t I am still grieving. And that is understandable but no her excuse on canceling was: my dad’s birthday is the 28th. Which by the way is every single year! Like how can you in this day in age forget anyone’s birthday? It’s called putting in your calendar on your phone or computer. It will always reminds you or on even FB remembers.

 My dad’s birthday was on the 24th. She put it as MY dad’s birthday is the 28th so we MAY not be able to get together. I told her why didn’t you say that in the first place. Like why didn’t you say we can’t get together this weekend because my dad is having his birthday party on Saturday. Let’s schedule something else. Her response was: I did!  All that day I was hurt. I thought for sure we were getting along and having fun. I don’t see anywhere in that sentence that she wanted to reschedule? What really got me is my mom went over there and had dinner with them the day after the tragic event happen. She told me they were laughing and having a good time.

So…guess what my response to myself was? “Well I guess we won’t see them until there is a family event.” Thinking to myself that I don’t need her and that just another sibling not willing to hangout with me which makes me sad and it feels like it’s me. It’s just another wall that I didn’t want to put up yet there it is.

Now let’s talk about fun!

April came over on Monday January 22 till the 23. We had so much fun! My FB friend made coconut butter and I wanted to try to make it. She has a food processor and I do not. I figured I could make it in my blender what’s the difference. The one she showed looked chunky. April and I made it and it came out as spreadable butter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guess who liked it? Jeff! I couldn’t believe it. So we did good because he liked it. It has very simple ingredients as well and we didn’t measure.

It is: Shredded coconut, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt.

With April I always have fun. Also April is now a Wiccan, Christian. So I am learning so much about Wicca. It’s interesting to me. She blessed our house. That was was cool and fun.

Look what I got:

 

 

 

 

 

 

My IDLife box. It’s strange it comes in a big box like this. Also so fast! I thought for sure it wouldn’t be here but I got it on Monday.

Here is what’s really strange to me:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pills come in a roll. So what if you had to go somewhere are you supposed to take your roll with you? Also let’s say I have to fly, I am pretty sure you can’t take the roll with you.  I really hate this design choice they made for this. Now I have to cut all this up to put in my pill container. Thanks for the work and garbage.

It will be awhile to see if they actually work.

Is it coincidence that my doctor told me I needed more vitamins then my FB friend posting on which vitamins we all should take? Strange right?

So my doctor told me I need vitamin D because I live in WI and don’t go outside that much in the winter. True. So I started taking vitamin D. Talking to my mom she said she takes biotin for hair and nails. I was thinking of taking something for that.  I started taking that and I have to say biotin has helped with my nails they are stronger then they ever had. I also have brittle toe nails and this has really helped with that. I never know if OTC vitamins would work but so far so good. 

My FB friend does IDLife. Which is an online company where you buy all vitamins, powder etc. It’s a healthy company. I am always skeptical of companies like that because I don’t like to be lecture on my health and such. I didn’t get that from her and I know she does her research on such things. When going out to their website you have to take a health assessment. They ask some detail questions found it strange that it didn’t have a lot of OTC meds that I take on their list. They ask you that what you take everyday. I have heard taking fish oil has really good health benefits about it except I have tried taking it before and it tasted like fish. I hate fish. I don’t like to eat fish so why would I take a pill that tastes like fish? Anyways I am willing to try fish oil again. I decided to try IDLife fish oil which is omega-3. I hope it doesn’t taste like fish. So far though I thought it was a bit pricey. As a penny pincher it was hard to shell out the money for it when I see it on Amazon for so much less. The shipping is what killed me. A little over 10 dollars for it to be shipped to me and they go by FedEx. Was hoping for regular mail. I had to wait to order anyway, payday! But she had a coupon for one day. So I got almost 4 dollars off for the pills. The pills came to 20 dollars and some change for it. I am being skeptical that they will work as everyone said it does but I can be wrong.

Just been trying to figure out what more I can do for my body just then exercising and eating right.
