We started off the year with a bang! We bought a new house, added solar panels, purchased a new EV (electric vehicle), Robert got an amazing new job, we have no credit card debt, and I’m still maintaining the weight I lost in 2010. Then COVID-19 happened. We started working from home and avoiding people outside…
Blog
So, this was 2016
I really don’t have a lot that is “blog worthy” going on, but I like to make updates on occasion that are more than observations on the humanity (or lack thereof) around me. 2016 was a crazy year, we lost many celebrities that we all adore and we lost our Country… Thanks to those who voted…
Human decency…
So, you meet someone online and end up helping them out with something heart wrenching, are there for them and truly care about their well being and their issue… Then you find out they’re an elitist ass. Do I regret helping them? Nope. My time still wasn’t wasted, people are people and human beings need…
Investments
We all have those “friends” that are a bad investment. We care, so we try to be there for them, and it is rarely reciprocated. It would be nice to get a “hi” once in a while, or an “I acknowledge you still exist” without them needing money. When I contact people like this, it’s…
Life … is good
I’ve been really happy lately with my life overall. I love my job, Robert and I are getting along great, I am exercising and feeling better than I have in years, and we are approaching the end of several debts. I’d like to be able to also say that we were homeowners again, but that’s…
Why walls exist…
I guess I shouldn’t be upset or surprised when “friends” blow me off. Especially those who always act like I should always be there for them, but when reversed they are not capable of being there for me. I tried, but everything I say goes in one ear and out their mouth. It’s also frustrating…
2014 is here…
And I managed to keep all of my goals for 2013 except the Real Estate exam. In 2014 I will likely study more and take the exam, but I ran it to the deadline and missed by a few points because I am a busy procrastinator. This year I want to get this smaller body…
All Tucked In…
I finished my last skin removal procedure a week ago, and though it was a 10 hours surgery, I am doing pretty well. They lifted my butt, thighs, and tightened the skin on my sides/upper back. This was about 2 years after my lower stomach skin removal, tummy tuck and arm lift. I am finally no longer… saggy. Now I…
Fat Girl Brain
Yes, I still have “fat girl” moments. I know when I look in a mirror, and buy clothes that my size 12 flat tummy isn’t “fat”, but the compulsion is still there. “Mmm, popcorn… Insert into face” “Mmm, cheese… Insert into face” “Mmm, cookies… Insert into face” And so on… It’s a daily struggle… I…
Memory-al Day 2013
So, today is Memorial Day 2013, I’m thinking about my dad who was buried alongside my mom on Saturday. I didn’t really know him well until the last few years, but the time I got to spend with him was irreplaceable. I miss them both so much, but I know that they aren’t suffering anymore.
