RIP Rev

Aww, so sad to see this while scrolling through my alumni page on Facebook. This man was an icon on our campus in high school. And since he was a campus monitor, and I was not the most studious of students, we met quite often in the parking lot. So many students over so many years got to meet this gem of a man!!! RIP Rev!!!




 

Back to the Doctor

Well, I was back at the doctor again today. I guess Covid wasn't enough. LOL! I have a place on my left hand that just popped up within the last week that I needed to have looked at. It's very painful and tender. I met one of my new doctors today and she is really sweet. It could possibly be a cyst but she said it looks an awful lot like a pocket, which could be infected. She said she wants to keep an eye on it because if it gets larger or doesn't go away, I have to go in for all those nice type of scans.
 


I had to have a different steroid shot and was put on another type of antibiotic. Oh and this cough has definitely worsened over the last two weeks, which I was told sounds like bronchitis leading up to pneumonia. 
 
 

Wands Up! RIP Beautiful Lady!!

 



Wands up!! RIP Dame Maggie Smith! She had so many wonderful and amazing moments in movies throughout her career!! And yes, Harry Potter was a huge favorite!!!! 💓

Happy 25 Years!

Cheers to 25 years to my amazing husband!! 🎉 Today, we celebrate our 25th Anniversary, our silver one. My hubby bought me some pretty pink wildflowers and a card. We had planned on going out and having a nice dinner, but Covid got in the way of that. We are still feeling the after effects, so we just stayed home and enjoyed the evening. One day I would like to do something really special.




Honestly, we really can't afford to do much these days with everything being so expensive. I do get a bit envious of those that can take the many vacations and outings that I see posted on Facebook sometimes, but I am thankful to wake up each day and that God just allows me to be with my family.  💞

Happy Birthday to Me!

I took the day off for my birthday, at my supervisor's request, and just kicked back and enjoyed my day. My wonderful, amazing hubby did indeed make my favorite dinner and even ordered me a special cake. Can you guess what it is? SIMS, one of my favorite games!! I got some cute birthday cards and balloons and played a few games with my kiddos, too. 🥳

It been a crazy couple of weeks as my family ended up with Covid for the FIRST time and it was this new variant. Well, at least the first time that we know of is what our doctor said. LOL! I am feeling a bit better but this cough!
 


 

I'm back - Happy Fall!

It's been a while since I posted. I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog. I had some issues with my personal family website host, which is where quite a few of my images I use for my blog are stored. While trying to change my plan from bi-annually to monthly, I was not able to update and publish my website. Thankfully everything is resolved and my website is back online and updated. I have always had some kind of website since the days of Geocities. LOL. 😄

With that said, Happy Fall! It's my favorite time of year and the temps have indeed dropped here in Texas, which I am enjoying very much. The humidity is still up a bit, but at least it is not 100 degrees outside.



Work is going okay I guess. Now don't get me wrong, I love my job! It's just that things are not as smooth as they used to be. The last year has been quite the headache. I will never understand the "it's just a job" aspect because I put my heart and soul into my work. Working with other people that do not have the same passion as I do makes for rough time, especially when you are supposed to be working as a team. Let's just say that I have a way different set of work ethics.

My family is doing well. Now. We are just getting over this new variant of Covid. We have no clue how it came to be in our house. I can't say if I brought it home from work or if the hubby picked it up out shopping. I got sick and ended up going to the doctor but I refused to be tested. The symptoms that I was battling were more allergy than anything.🤧But then my son started feeling ill and then my husband got sick. He visited doctor and tested positive for Covid. Then our daughter started feeling bad. Now we all live in the same house and I think it is safe to say that Covid is here. This was the FIRST time and we have tested negative for it since the beginning. It's been crazy though. Taste is off. Smell is off. Everything tastes blah! And this cough that I still have needs to go!! I was off work for almost two weeks. I was made to take off because they would not let me work from home. I blame the other admins for that, but that is another story.

Today, I took the day off at my supervisor's request for my Birthday! 🥳 I am just going to clean up a bit and kick back. Normally my husband would make my favorite dinner - spaghetti and meatballs - but since our taste is off, He said lets do it another night. I do want to be able to enjoy my food but I don't think my taste is as off as his. I hope I can at least taste my birthday cake! 🎂
