    Still playing catch up, because all those wedding posts took awhile! The week after the wedding (Feb. 27-March 5, 2023) was still a pretty busy week. I was so tired of my living room still looking like this: Monday I spent a good part of the day going through all the boxes and reorganizing everything. Most stuff just got thrown in boxes with no rhyme or reason. I also started washing the table clothes. Mid morning, I got a text from Rob’s mom that they were in town and wanted to stop by. So when they got to the house,…

    Here’s my (Feb. 6-12, 2023) highlights. Tuesday Tuesday during lunch, I had to run across campus for the Auburn ‘made’ honey for the welcome gift bags for hotel guest. Thursday Thursday morning we woke up to a weird color in the sky that casted down on everything. I tried to get a picture of it. You can kind of see there’s a oranginess to everything. It’s that weirdness you see sometimes before a storm rolls through. I’ve been feeling super lethargic and just more tired than usual. I’ve also felt like my blood pressure has been running high, but its…

    2 weeks ago started out with a trip to the orthopedic for my shoulder. It hurts kind of all the time now, but especially when I lift my arm out. I ended up getting a steroid injection and am now doing a few appointments of physical therapy and my favorite place. It has just been one thing another the last few months with me. I also finally got my tomato, pepper, and herb seeds started inside. I got my haircut. Here it is straightened. One night we were in Rob’s home office and he was rearranging some things to make…

I’ve been using several Auburn Tervis cups that I love, but they don’t keep ice for long. I also want to use a straw since I drink unsweet tea that is making my teeth less white.

    Another year flying by and here we are talking about the 7th week of this year already. Is it me or is time flying by faster the older I get? Scary! Last week started off with Valentine’s Day. Rob and I aren’t big into that holiday. We usually go out to eat around that day (not on that day because its crowded, restaurants have ‘special’ more expensive menus, etc). Valentine’s Day this year, we ended up going to a Women’s basketball game and then we ate at Yummi Crab, which was delicious. We got a pound of shrimp (which comes…

    Here’s what’s been happening in life for Jan. 31st-Feb. 13, 2022. Not much too exciting! Just trucking along… This is one of Alex’s new cubes that he put into a cool design. Caitlyn (Drew’s girlfriend) started her career today as an Academic Advisor just across campus from me. So proud of her. I’m supposed to have a endoscopy and esophagus stretching every year, but I have been pushing it off trying to do it less often.
