Remember me?

Wow, how time flies when you’re working six days a week and exhausted. Kinda gave new meaning to Sunday being a day of rest because all I wanted to do after church… was sleep!

A few updates since my only (non-recall) post this year except for Tyler’s birthday. I’ll try to get back into a post here and there besides just putting up pet food recalls. I see I started one from last August that I never put up. Maybe I’ll do a flashback and post it too. Who knows. The best-laid plans and all.

You Had Me at Meow my little paperback I was motivated to write because of Trinity has been out 6 years today.

A flower that had never bloomed, bloomed at Trinity’s grave just before we moved.

• WordPress has moved stuff all around!
• We (almost) finished building our last house (and I mean built, not had build) and we did a lot of “firsts”.
• I have tackeld the box of house receipts and have most entered into a spreadsheet.
• I actually got a little headstart earlier than I normally do on the checkbook/taxes/etc that I swear every year I’ll do monthly then curse myself when it’s a years worth come the following year.
• We moved into the new house even though we still have some stuff to do (painting, foundatin rock, door handles and some trim).
• We sold our last home using a new to us realtor.
• We (and lots of friends and family) had covid19. Wierd, werid syomptoms but we’ve had colds/flu that were worse. #naturalimmunity #9thammendment So we are now amoung the 85% of people either vaccinated or the old fashioned proven herd immunity. And no, we were not asymtomatic and quaranteed while sick.
• Tyler did extremealy well (for him) with the move.
• Tyler had his annual today and his dental is schuled. I appreciate our vet working with us so we could get him in so I can get his pain/nerve treatment started.
• I finally broke down and made an appt to have a mole that changed a while back removed. Still need to add that mamo, and dentist appointments and find a GP.
• I lost weight while we built, then gained it all back as soon as I quite laboring as hard.
• I’ve picked my real camera (for fun) just a handful of times and have been to zero waterfalls, and zero photo outings since we started the build unless you count my 50th.
• I’ve forgotten what hubby and I used to do for fun when we are not working. Seriously.
• I’ve had lunch with a couple of my girl friends.
• I finally had time to pick up a book and read a little bit. I want to clean up my bookcase so I started with A Case For Faith by Lee Strobel.
• I got started on listing some stuff on eBay and Craigslist becuase I’m not moving a whole lotta of our stuff to another home. Period. I want less stuff and more open space.
• We are looking for that perfect land to build our last home on.
• Oh and managed to get one book cover done while we built. Well, two but one can’t be used yet because of a release issue.
  
  

I miss my friends, I miss the desire to get out and to photograph. I miss relaxing and not being tired. I miss the old normal before covid, before the election, before the last house build being so frustrating.

It does feel nice to say “hello” again and let y’all know I’m still on this side of the grass. I look forward to doing some catching up and hope you all are doing well. 🙂
