Mornin y'all.
Busy day ahead. Two appointments and we need to do a few other things. One is the pain clinic. Never thrilled about that one. They are dismissive to say the least.
I'm hoping to get a bracelet going faster today, well this afternoon to be exact. Not a hard one but tedious. It's my favorite weave so I'm not unhappy to do it.
QOTD: Sunny Doom. Partly due to my middle name and I like the word doom with it.
Food is unknown at best. I really need to get back at it harder.
A meme and a different bracelet I made for my boss.

Good mornin y'all.
Not much happening today. That I know of anyway. I'm feeling rough as usual. I think that'll never change ha.
I might go to Walmart later or a different grocery store. I need a few things.
QOTD: done right yes, all in on it. I don't think roof ones are the best. It also depends on the area. High wind areas they can be dangerous. A lady in New England somewhere was killed by a panel blown off the roof of a car port. I live in an area where high winds are VERY common not to mention the hail we get. I wouldn't get them on my house...maybe our big shed. All in all I think things will get better because some things need to be improved upon.
B: egg pita sandwich and coffee
L: half an enchilada
D: haven't decided.

Good mornin everyone. Sorry I miss3d yesterday,
I went to get a copy of my CT scan yesterday and we did some errands. November 10th can't get here soon enough. Some days are easier and some days are like pulling teeth. Today I see my psychiatric provider. I missed my last one due to the flu. He'll preach to me about everything, I'll shut down and everything will stay the same med wise. I've had an incredible amount of sadness lately. I just can't shake it. It's a daunting feeling but I'm unwilling to give in.
my mom is wanting to go out and about afterwards. I would rather come home. She'll win. I need to work on some jewelry for my boss for next years shows. So at least there is no rush or deadline for these. I'd like to pay off the dental bill by my birthday in February! So I'll be making a lot to help with that.
we've decided to do a joint gift for Christmas of a vacuum cleaner. We haven't decided on a budget but my guess would be 200 all together. This way my mom doesn't feel guilty and my feelings don't get hurt. She refused to learn how to shop online lol. I am easy to get things for if people would listen to who I am. I told her that money would be great this year if she wants to do more than the vacuum so I can pay off the dental stuff.
QOTD: not overly. I get headaches for most. I do prefer the wax over candles as having the amount of critters we do i'm afraid the house would burn down.
B: breakfast pita and coffee
L: ????
D: undecided as well

Good mornin Jennifer and all.
it was a hectic weekend. Glad it's over. I found out I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon in Lubbock on November 10th! Progress! I wi**** was sooner as it's been really really bad pain wise...limiting my movement and such. BUT...it's sooner than I expected! So glad for that, now just to have good weather!
QOTD: I love it all.
B: eggs, sausage and cheese with coffee of course
L: ????
D: shrimp spring rolls.
the last one also applies to dogs blowing their summer coats.

on 10/10/25 4:54 am
Good morning all.
We have the kids today. They are out of school. We're going to carve pumpkins...pray for us adults please. LOL
I am feeling very rough and got little sleep. My shoulder feels like I have been punched. So today'll be long.
We roasted a chicken last night and fixed some Brussels sprouts and broccoli. It was so tasty! We have leftovers today.
QOTD: LOTR for sure.
B: egg, cheese, sausage and coffee
L: leftovers from dinner yesterday
D: ????
Top of a box I found at the thrift store. It's slices of agate on a glass sheet. The bottom is steel so not pics of that. Then of course Tange..

Good morning Jennifer and everyone.
Not sure what today'll hold. We might do something but I'm hoping to stay home. It'll depend on my mom. We might go to the thrift store since we'll be unable to go tomorrow as well have the kids. They are out for a 4 day weekend. Riley will stay the night sometime and Randall might too. Pumpkins are at a great price so we got them all one to carve. Oh I forget that so we'll have to go get some of the tools to do it.
Still no word on an orthopedic surgeon. I sent in a message to see what's up. Hopefully it'll light a bit of a fire to it. I can hope right?
QOTD: freezing. Sometimes at a higher temp and it's wet.
food is undecided.
pics of what I donated to the rescue and a box top I found at the thrift store.

on 10/8/25 4:59 am
Oh I love it!
Good mornin y'all.
we are taking a donation of things I've made to the rescue that took in Momma. They're going to auction them off they said. I may not be able to donate money much but I can do that!
Other than that not much is happening today, I'm feeling mighty blah. I have no gumption. I still need to clean my closet but even the thought of it overwhelms me. Blah.
QOTD: yup...my mom goes all out.
B: eggs, cheese and coffee
L: soup
D: protein undecideds but roasted broccoli and cauliflower

Mornin y'all.
not much going on today. I'm hoping to stay home until we have to take my mom's cousin to PT this afternoon.
i'm kind of numb right now. My mom's **** is stressing me out and all the issues of the world are weighing heavy on me as well. Over stimulated to say the least. I saw images of children...babies...zip tied. WTF? Why is that ok with people. Didn't mean to jump on Mike's topic but it's been hitting me hard too. All sides of my neighbors are Hispanic and with the exception of one are good...no...great people. I wish we lived in a world where where people valued all human life and not just what they deem ok to like. It's just so upsetting.
QOTD: I do to some extent. I don't like horror houses or the like. I hate things that make me jump react. I love museums and art shows.
B: breakfast sandwich
the rest is unknown.

on 10/7/25 6:35 am
I feel you on the ICE thing. This isn't the America I used to know. I am scared for my neighbors and my fellow humans. I hate the term illegal alien. They are freakin human beings. So much to say. Stay as strong as you can. You're right not all things are rainbows and sunshine.

on 10/6/25 6:12 am
good mornin y'all!
Quick post from me today. Not much happening but we need to run to Sam's and may go get some different food for Franky.
QOTD: do you have a certain family member or family friend that is your "person"?
mine was my grandpa! I know i' e said it before but he is on my mind this morning an awful lot.
B: eggs, sausage and cheese. Coffee of course
L: thinking soup!
D: ????
have a great one y'all!

on 10/6/25 4:43 am
Thank you for doing that TNR! I wish all humans had humanity about all things other than just themselves.

on 10/3/25 6:31 am
Good morning y'all.
Not a lot happening today. My mom is just off her rocker the past few days. I am so stressed out it's not even funny. I don't even know what to do anymore. Anyways...
I hope to be able to be home for a bit today. I need to finish my closet.
QOTD: I use Lose It! The premium price is reasonable for features bigger names offer too. It's not perfect but for the price I love it. When I try others I always go back to it.
B: eggs, cheese and coffee + a damned raisin oatmeal cookie.
L: likely some ham and raw broccoli
D: ???

on 10/3/25 4:36 am
My goodness! I am so so sorry to hear of your fall! I hope your recovery goes smoothly!

on 10/2/25 5:08 am
Good mornin Jennifer and all.
Not sure what is planned for the day. My mom is already acting paranoid this morning about the neighbors. It's never ever going to end.
If we're able to be home I'd like to work on chainmaille.
QOTD: I love to do it when I can!
B: deelights breakfast sandwich and coffee
the rest is terribly unplanned

Good afternoon all.
its been a rather ****ty day tbh. My mom is in rare form, even for her. Yelled at me at the top of her lungs...including the f bomb. Real classy
my doctors office called and they are going to try and get me into a doctor in Lubbock for my shoulder. I also hope they'll see about my left hip too. It's really starting to bother me as well. Hopefully things will get rolling now.
i've made some things to give the animal rescue that took in Momma. A few pendants with chains and a few keychains. Will be taking photos today so I'll show y'all later this week.
QOTD: usually yes. We have a lot of "false falls" though so we get to go back and forth.
B: egg, cheese and coffee
L: Burrito and pork rinds
D: haven't decided on this one yet.

Good mornin Jennifer and the few others *****ad.
it wasn't the best of weekends. It has been proven yet again that my brother and his wife are the most ungrateful bunch ever. We had a picnic. It was my nephews b-day party. They let him eat a piece of pizza and snacks around 11:30 and the picnic was at 12:30. So he ate nothing. He did have a piece of the cookie cake but that was it. We spent time and money on all of it. Had to carry everything to the picnic table from the car because they are never on time to help with that. He wouldn't touch the honey bun cake. My SIL wouldn't eat any of the desserts. Barely ate the food either. The only thank you we got was from the kids. Two grown ass adults that couldn't even say thanks or kiss my ass. Nothing. I needed to get that off my chest!
Today we need to run to the county clerk and go drop off a letter at the post office. Other than that it's a total unknown.
QOTD: I dropped a huge frozen brisket on my foot, breaking it. I think I was 18 or so. No insurance to do anything about it. Still reminded of it every time the weather changes.
B: eggs, sausage and cheese with coffee of course
L: burrito
D: veggie lasagna
A piece I made this weekend.

on 9/26/25 5:13 am
Good mornin y'all.
not just a whole lot planned for the day. We'll go to the thrift store. Maybe Walmart but I doubt that. Yesterday we got a shelf for my room and we put that together. The old one I had was coming apart...literally. It's a lot taller than the old one too so extra storage! We've been cleaning a lot and getting rid of a lot too. Especially my mom and her clothes.
I am feeling a bit better with the lung thing. Hopefully that'll continue to improve!
I'm hoping to have time to work on my room today. Half is done but the other half is daunting.
B: biscuit and pumpkin spice butter of course coffee too.
L: burrito
D: no clue!
the lady is my 3x great grandmother. The rest are of course memes.
those pumpkins look great btw! I love it when they still have huge stems!

on 9/26/25 4:17 am
I have used the pb powder in the past. The almond butter powder is good too!
I found skinny syrups has a wedding cake flavored one that makes the chocolate taste really good. I addd a drop of coconut extract and it tasted like a mounds candy bar.
thanks! I could actually really use a hug.

on 9/26/25 4:15 am
I use skinny syrups. It doesn't take very much but I love the chocolate shake with the wedding cake flavored syrup!
I found the jimmy dean ones at Sam's that are turkey. Not my absolute fav but better than any I've had so far. My absolute fav sausage is by applegate farms. It's maple chicken sausage. So so much better but a lot more pricier. I get one bag a month (almost 13 dollars) and try to make it last. 3 sausage links are a serving but I usually just have 2. They also have patties.
I have seen exactly one episode of the mandolorian because I was basically forced lol.

on 9/25/25 6:35 am
Good mornin y'all. Sorry for miss in a lot this week.
we took momma to the rescue Monday. I bawled and bawled. Then finding out about Mary just put me down in the dumps. Dealing with what I am fairly certain is pneumonia or something close to it. Wheezing a lot. Over it all. I really wish I could've kept momma. She had become my baby in 3 short weeks. But it wasn't meant to be with our older cats,..who weigh twice her almost.
So I'm not feeling great.
i haven't been doing great with food but it could be way worse.
QOTD: PP. I also got a case of drinks that has come handy since I'm broke! They were chocolate whic is about my least favorite but i found a way to doctor it up to taste like a candy bar! I couldn't stomach many of the powders.
B: eggs, turkey sausage, cheese and coffee
L: shrimp and corn chowder
D: ????
my most favorite Star Wars meme.

on 9/22/25 6:33 am
Oh no. That makes me incredibly sad. She was such a sweet lady. Always supported us.
may her memory be a blessing to all that knew her.

Good mornin y'all.
The pain clinic appointment was a bust. They always disappoint. The pain is just annoying. Also saw my case manager at the mental health clinic. It was nice to vent. I am really stressed out right now. Blargh times a million.
today is a thrift store day. We also have to drop off a load to them as my mom is cleaning out her closets. I am planning to clean a bit too on my room.
We've decided not to keep momma. We tried to introduce her to the others and it didn't go well. It's not fair to keep her in my room. I love her so so much but it'd be selfish to keep her,
QOTD: pain, since I can't take NSAIDs the pain is horrible. Tylenol is pretty much worthless for arthritis. I regret the surgery for that. I had to try though. Depression is bad right now so that may explain my answer! LOL
B: small piece of banana bread and a piece of cheese
L: small salad
D: eggs, green chili sausage...maybe made into a burrito with
momma

on 9/18/25 5:01 am
Good mornin y'all.
Still not feeling great. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
i have two appointments today. I am going to have to talk to the pain clinic about getting of the T4's and just trying the codeine. I read an article by Sanja Gupta that said Tylenol is not good for nerve pain, that it can make it worse. It'll be an uphill battle. The other is just with my case manager at the mental health clinic.
good luck about the house to Irvin's son!
QOTD: true self would be a regular ol jackass or a baby pigmie hippo. Ha ha. In reality it's something like a dog with anxiety issues.
B: hard boiled eggs, sausage and cheese...coffee
L: no clue
D: thin crust pizza (spinach Alfredo).
