Hi hi! <3 We can be tired together XD I could use a 24 hour nap.

ooh that sounds nice. -snuggles up beside you like a kitten-

- i know, right? 1 hour away just isn't possible now that our truck died. we go everywhere by taxi now and i can't afford a 1 hour taxi ride each way. that's just nuts. 😂

- i'm so glad it's helping! hopefully that will translate into quicker healing.:D interesting that you say that. i remember a discussion my hubby and i had a couple months before i got sick. we were discussing which sense we'd rather lose: eyesight or hearing... we both chose hearing stating that the world is way too visual and it would be easier to learn how to live without hearing than eyesight. i have to say, sadly, we were right. so my fingers are crossed that you have no more scarring and that your a1c stays where it is. hugs ❤

thanks I hope so too. yeah thats exactly how i've felt too. Not that we can choose which sense we lose. -hugs- I'm really sorry you lost your sight. But it sounds like you are learning and have a supportive hubby <3 thank you <3

Right? 😍 If only if only! Once my kids are older I'm going to start napping more regularly again LOL!

And not to mention gas is going through the freaking roof! Who has those kinds of funds to pay for those prices to drive a 2 hour round trip? Forget that!

hehe so in like 18 years ;) I'm so shocked and excited. I found metal free hair barrettes on Amazon, can't buy them right now but I'm hoping maybe I can get some next month. I chopped my hair off a few days ago in the mirror lol. and whilst I LOVE it short again, I wish I could clip it back for a couple of "styles" And I have terrible metal allergies. Maybe they'll look cuter with my new glasses, which should be in soon.

How's your beautiful bebes doing?

I'll be so happy to reach T13! Do you still BQ everyday?

Poor Darkmontre being put on the back burner. ;-) :-D

That's a bummer! Taxis are expensive. :-( I don't think I've told you this but I drove for Uber for about 6 months. Back when I still had all of my facilities. :-P

Busy week but looking forward to the next 4 days of chores and playing AC. I saw you on AC last night. :-) How's your mom and Melody both doing?

- thanks ❤ it took me a long time to get where i am now. at first i just wanted to give up but now i'm determined to live as normally as possible. you have a supportive family and while it would be difficult i think you'd be ok. you're very tenatious and that really helps. i'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you. :D ❤

- you'd be surprised. hubby and i sat down and figured out the cost of buying a vehicle vs. taxi rides and... the taxis are actually way cheaper right now. this is taking into consideration yearly taxes, tags, inspections, insurance, and gas prices. taking taxis will let us save more money towards a car so we'll be in a better spot when used car prices finally return to normal. :D

if I'm understanding right is it like a salt gun that you shot down the flies? lol

that's pretty cool though! XD grandparents and even great grandparents are sooo precious! Folks are lucky to have them! I wish I could have known them better too. Just grateful I at least knew my grandma on my mom's side and she was alive a big chunk of my life. And thank you :) I'm sure I'll figure something out on the insurance. Its not super painful at the moment but its always worth looking into :)

ahh well you lucked out then! If we ever went to an apartment or townhome I'm sure we wouldn't be able to pick like "hey we don't want younger/annoying neighbors please!" LOL XD A-E-R-O Garden dear not air :P Its totally a hydroponics that you put on your kitchen counter. Mine has lettuce and I haven't tried tomatoes but I know other people have done smaller types of tomato plants in theirs lol :) I have mine outside at the moment but I'll totally be trying to find shorter/stouter cherry tomatoes or what not for my aero garden later :) I mean you could also get a grow light and hang it in a room somewhere and just put a pot with some Tomatoes in it (and then you could grow full size) :D I've thought about that too.

I'd totally try dandelions for jelly or other things too lol XD they've got so many excellent health benefits :D yeah I might keep up with etsy for now...its just easier than trying to manage two sites/inventories LOL! My house is just not big enough :P but I really don't like the fees lol if they have horrible fees I should be you know getting 3k in traffic/sales for the fees they charge lol And machine has had its bread run, it didn't really smell "new" like the new machines did...probably cause it was a blemish model I think the door was off it for a time because there was a lot of dust but not a lot of smell...not like my first machine when we got it so yay! :) I'll be working on some "candy" sampler packs I used to do that were really popular and after that I'm going to do a million pounds of taffy lol

happy humans are soooooo great and GREAT entertainment :) Mine keeps doing bad ballets where she like rock screams about her bad ballet shakes head And she's really a pest lately where she'll repeat herself even when you tell her NO on something LOL she's making me crazy!

ooh exciting. Hopefully you get lots of AC time <3. Yep I've been hoping to get the ruins recipes but so far I've had zero luck which is totally frustrating.

I can only imagine. Eh to a point, perhaps but I'm not so sure about that. I wouldn't agree to living with my brother and sister in law so beyond my parents I don't really have a network in place or anything, so I'm gonna do what I can to avoid that.

yeah definitely before things are more painful or something. Any weekend plans?

we have to do a bday dinner with my father in law NOT excited at all, how bout you?

lol hunter can just chill but he pretty much will eat if he is hungry. He ate a whole mini pizza the other night like 5 strawberries and two hot dogs smh just so he could get the phone XDD

someone has to have faith ;) <3

Lol she is stil my number 1 LOL she gets all my tomes just wasn't getting all the bqs :P XDD

yeah its a gun that shoots salt at flies XD or other bugs

aww sorry you're not excited about it. hope it goes quickly. THis weekend no, not really. Next weekend is my bday weekend though so trying to figure out how to make a couple of things work. We just are having issues with money running out and I had to get new glasses so not sure how to make the bday dinner something I'd enjoy lol.

I will die if it's that long before I'm able to nap again LOL! Ooooo! :O I love shorter hair too. Mine is getting so long ugh DX I hate going to get my haircut though because I'm so awkward lol

They are doing goooood! Harper just started crawling and she says mama and dada now 😭 Mama first of course :P 😂 Poor Rusty lol both of our kids said mama first. Jesse is wild and driving me nuts but he's doing really good lol How's Liz doing? ^0^

Oh wow that's so crazy :O Cars are so expensive, bleh.

I keep seeing so many gardening tiktoks, it looks so cool! Idk if my brown thumb could handle it though 😂 Next year I'm going to try growing some tomatoes and see how that goes lol. YAYYYY! Time to freeze dry like a maniac 😂 My poor wallet! I can't wait to place an order!!! AHHHH!

Holy crap! I really wish Jesse would eat like that! He's been eating better but still not trying new foods. It's so difficult DX

yea we lived in a place once that had no mosquitoes it was wonderful

nope, thank god. i would hate them.. weasels though are the worst. they kill chickens just for sport.

I don't think we have those down here thankfully XD

i finally got the dang potatoes in.. hopefully they grow now

YAY!!! :O How long does it typically take for them to grow and produce potatoes?

no idea, i am still learning all this.. and its exhausting

It seems exhausting and like a lot to learn D:

it is, and especially when its hott and you're getting eaten.
