Well, hey y’all! Long time no post…again! I’ve let time just slip right by me and figured I needed to dust off the old blog and see if it still works. I made some big changes. The ads were driving me crazy, and after 10 years of the very same blog theme, I installed a new one. I pray everything is in working order. I am not great with blog themes anymore, and hiring someone to do it for me would take an insane amount of money now! I’ve been blogging so long that I can remember when custom themes used to be affordable, haha! I used ChatGPT to create a new header… it did all the heavy lifting for me. I kind of like it! All that to say, if you see something broken or not working, please let me know!
Our summer was mostly spent here at home, trying to stay cool. We have had one HOT summer. We are still under excessive heat warnings. I will be so glad when we get a little relief! I’ve been doing my usual….burning my candles…
Melting my wax…
I’ve read a couple of books, been overseeing dental appointments for the Young Man, popping into the library more often. Speaking of Young Man, he and the hubby made a trip in July to Texas to go see the Texas Rangers play at the “new to them” ball park in Arlington. The last time we had been to a game, Young Man was 8 years old.
Then…
And now…
Time flies! They had a wonderful time, and they also got to go the Dallas Zoo, where Young Man Facetimed me when he got to the penguin exhibit because he knows that’s my favorite animal! It made my heart so happy! I love when technology can be used like this!
And where was I? At home! Haha! I knew there was NO way I could do this trip with how hot it is and all of the walking around that would have to be done. I just let them have a guys trip and I stayed home and did a little cleaning, ate girl dinner (where you eat whatever you want and don’t have to worry about cooking for anyone else), and reading on my ipad.
I had a little visit with my cousin to celebrate her daughter’s birthday:
We ate at a Mexican restaraunt and then her daughter wanted to go bowling. I sat and watched and enjoyed visiting with her.
It also feels so weird now that school has started, not having a kid to send to school anymore. Young Man is still job hunting, and it is so discouraging. I cannot tell you how many places he has applied, even to Walmart just to have a job until something came available in his area of trainging, and not one bite! I’m almost convinced some of these job listings are bogus, but I do know that jobs are hard to come by these days. So, I just keep encouraging him to keep looking and applying and keep networking.
I’ve been trying to read blogs here and there as well. I know I really need to clean up my feed reader. I follow SO many blogs that it has become very overwhelming. I don’t know why having so many choices is overwhelming for me, but I’ve noticed that in all areas of my life. Can anyone relate? Haha!
I’ve been struggling the past few weeks with my health. I’ve got to go get some more tests done this month. If you pray, please send some prayers my way. Just dealing with some pain and not really knowing what is causing it. It has really slowed me down, and if I’m honest, it’s really bothering me and I’m feeling a little defeated, and I hate feeling like this.
But! It’s September, and I’m praying cooler weather will be on the way and better days are coming! That’s my little update. I hope everyone is doing well and I’m hoping to be back here more often.
