    Week 44 [2021]

    November 8, 2021 - By 

    Happy November! Just 2 full weeks until Thanksgiving week! Do you have your turkey yet? The Braves won the World Series! So exciting! We had really hoped they’d win Sunday night when they were still home, but they ended up losing that game and then having to fly back to Houston. One day I was backing out about to head to work and noticed Alex had a flat tire. Katniss kept Alex’s bed warm one evening when he was hanging out with a friend. Thursday Rob and I went out with some coworkers of his at Amsterdam. I got the…

Here’s what happened for Week 43 (October 25-31, 2021)! On Tuesday, on my way home I noticed the protestors downtown, but couldn’t get a shot until I had passed them.

    Another week down! Here’s Week #42 which covers Oct. 18-24th, 2021. This last week was interesting. My blood sugar has run a tad high for the last few years. This week my doc had me try Metformin, but it made me feel terrible so I couldn’t continue that anymore. Thursday, I went to the dr to try the once a week shot called Ozempic. The nurse was like, well you have to be able to test your blood, which I’ve never done before. He showed me how to put the FreeStyle Libre 2 System on and I downloaded the app…

    Happy September, yall! Here’s my Currently post for this month. beginning to look forward to Fall and football! I’m really hoping we have an early onset of cooler temperatures, which usually tease us a time or 2 in September or October. However, real cooler temps don’t show up till November here. ending I’m ready to end this stressful part of the semester. August is a busy time for me at work hiring and training.

    Week 17 [2021]

    May 3, 2021 - By 

    Week 17 was April 26-May 2, 2021, which happened to be my week in the office. Getting home every afternoon, I collapsed in exhaustion at least for a bit. Then it’s up to cook dinner or do work in the garden. I still have so much to do in the garden. I’m actually way behind on planting, but I just haven’t wanted to fight the mosquitoes and really don’t have the energy. Anyway, on Thursday night, we went to the Korean BBQ place to celebrates Rob’s brother’s birthday. Unfortunately the restaurant was not a great experience. On another note, I…

I’m finding it harder to be out in public or in certain situations and I know it’s because of COVID. I’m not sure I want to try some anxiety meds, but I might ask my doctor. Here’s my rating system…

    The Weekly [1.25-2.14.2021]

    February 15, 2021 - By 

    I’ve really done a bad job of keeping up with my ‘the weekly’ posts lately. I’m thinking about changing what they’re called because they’ve kind of morphed from what these posts are supposed to be. Plus when I went to start this post, I thought I was a week behind. Turns out, I’m 3 weeks behind. *eyeroll!* So let’s jump back to the week of Jan. 25th… Rob helped me set up my new phone and I’m still getting used to the way a 12 works differently than a 7. This was the week Rob was having really bad muscle…

    Hey yall! Today I’m excited to be linking up with good ol’ blog friend, Leslie and my new blog friend, Carrie. They are starting a new series called from Texas with Love.

This post has given me several ideas for upcoming posts, so that’s always a good thing. Where are you from? I am from Richland Hills, Texas, which is about 9 miles…
