Happy October

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. 😄

Check it out if you want at https://www.jens-chaos.com/.

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! 🎂

1st Day of May

 

Goodbye March ...

 

“April’s Splendor”

Behold, the month of April is alive,

When all but nature springs with hope and grace,

The clouds of gray and winter finally die,

Green fields and buds now decorate the space.

The rains of April breathe new life in fields,

Refreshing and renewing all the earth,

The season’s warmth the cold weather yields,

A beauty that defies all season’s worth.

Sweet fragrance fills the air in all its bloom,

A symphony of color spills and flows,

The birds and animals start to resume,

A life anew that only nature knows.

April, the season’s call of springtime cheer,

A time where all of nature comes to rear.

 

 

Hello January!

It's time for change.

 

 

December already?!

Welcome December and holy cow - Christmas is right before us!!! It's been 84 years since I posted. 😁 I finally updated my website and blog. My family is feeling better thankfully. I was feeling under the weather for weeks and my cough just lingered. We did get another possible diagnosis - RSV. Yeah, what the littles get. Anyway, I am just glad that we are all finally feeling well and can gear up for Christmas.

We didn't do much for Thanksgiving this year since we were all feeling blah. We didn't even cook a turkey. LOL. We had glazed ham, homemade mac n cheese, and a few other sides. We stayed at home and just chilled. I have done a bit of shopping online and we are really behind on getting stuff done. Hopefully we can get the tree up and decorated. T mowed the yard and my husband finally got the outside outlet replaced so we can get our yard decorations out and some lights up on the house. I really need to look into how much it would cost to have someone else put the lights on the house. I know their are companies and even individuals that do this, but we have never priced it. My hubby has no business even being on a ladder these days. My son helps out as much as he can. I almost have heart failure when attempting to get on a ladder. 😮

Bring on Fall

It's not quite Fall yet but I am definitely ready for it to be here. So, I went ahead and updated my website and blog for the coming season. This Texas heat cannot get out of here quick enough!!

The last couple of months have been a bit chaotic for me. My job duties have increased and I have been training new admins. Hopefully in the next few weeks, I can get back to reading and trying to keep some sort of an update to this blog. LOL.

Happy September

The months are flying by and here it is September already. This month I will be celebrating my 50th Birthday and 24th Anniversary. I see a lot of changes in the works, too! 😊  Fall is around the corner!

Bring on Fall!

 

Gonna be HOT!

 LOL! 😂

February is here!

 

Winter is here

 

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
by William Shakespeare

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

'Tis the Season...

 

First Day of Fall!

 

Let the Fall season begin...
