In awe…

Originally posted 2020-04-12 08:00:10. Have you ever just looked at your spouse and just for a few seconds was in somewhat of a trance? Not because they were doing anything in particular, just because. Just because they are who they are. I sat here yesterday after we got back home just looking at my husband. After losing my mom, my bio father, my nephews he’s thankfully still here. I’m just in awe… Is our relationship…

Damn shame

Originally posted 2019-03-08 14:21:10. It is a damn shame, the amount of money we spent on two Catnapper (brand) supposed to be leather electric recliners. We needed something to ease the pressure on my spine so a recliner was the thing. The price wasn’t that much more for the electric ones so we got them. We have had these chairs a little over 3 years and you see what they are doing. We paid way…

My heart is breaking

Originally posted 2018-06-15 14:38:27. This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I have to somehow suppress the expression on my face because Dusty is watching me like a hawk. He knows something is up. This hurts so much. I don’t know how to let go of my mother. I don’t know how to live my life without her. I don’t know how I will ever explain it to Dusty. I pray to…

Epidemic proportions

Originally posted 2017-08-06 21:29:30. If you have read my blogs in the past you are familiar with the cause of death of my brother. This hits home.  My brother wasn’t actively using heroin as far as we know.  I do know he was using the prescription medication, methadone.  I wish things would have been different but I guess the good thing is something is being done to help, or at the very least trying to…

This is so true!

Originally posted 2021-10-18 10:00:43. You know this is so true! I have had to swallow this quite a few times. From the rape charges not going anywhere, to the domestic violence protection orders expecting them to actually protect you…. I have wondered way too many times why that “justice” never came. I guess I’ll never really know. It’s one of those things that stays in the back of my mind but I have learned to…

How long was he in there?

Originally posted 2017-07-31 19:01:16. This is our “week”. Dusty is with my parents and well…it is suppose to be relaxing. The start is anything but… Yesterday my husband and I were doing yard work. He started fixing the gate to our fence. One of the posts had split and he needed to put up a new one. Well, we’ve had the normal summertime flying insects. You know bees, wasps, the occasional “What the hell is…

DCR Scheduled

Originally posted 2021-10-16 07:53:04. Welp… It’s scheduled. I finally found an oculoplastic surgeon. His practice is about an hour away, so not that bad of a drive at all. He needed to test and see if my tear duct was blocked and if so, how bad. He did attempt to flush (or try to) my tear duct to see how bad it was blocked. He pushed the fluid filled syringe through my tear duct while…

Purging

Originally posted 2019-03-06 13:24:35. I am at a point in my life where I feel the need to purge belongings. We have a decent sized dvd collection and myself nor my husband want to just toss them. I have been researching ways to convert the dvd to a digital copy so we can access it per say on a thumb drive. We found two ways of doing this, so far. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum –…
