I am back!!

It’s been a while, but I’m back. Just like always, I’m always writing posts, I’m always thinking of what to write, and then I get pulled away from one distraction or another. Kids and I are having a lazy day today. They let me sleep in until 7:30 (we usually get up at 7 during […]
Meet Pearl

We went to the Humane Society of Weld County on the 6th of May to just “look” at some of the dogs available for adoption. I had a few smaller dogs picked out that I wanted to see but as soon as we walked in all the dogs I wanted to see got adopted within […]
Things that annoy me

There are several things that have really annoyed me lately. When I say to someone, I’ve been up early and running non-stop today, and have them say, me too. For one, I know that I’ve done about a zillion more things than they have, I know that they went out to casual lunch, I know […]
Got Tristyn a new desk

Found this desk on Facebook marketplace for $20. What a steal! Tristyn will be getting Mama’s old computer and needed a place to put it. He loves it.
My Molly is gone

Molly wasn’t eating her food like usual and was sleeping. She was sleeping a lot. I decided to take her to the vet. The vet took X-rays and bloodwork. Fluid was building up around her heart and lungs, probably due to some sort of cancer the vet said. Her liver enzymes were 6 times higher […]
So food is weird now

When I first got home from the hospital, I had to be around food again. I had to make it, I had to watch other people eat it. Food that I love eating, food that smelled so very delicious. I knew I couldn’t have it. It’s clear liquids for me for the first two weeks […]
Surgery was done and now I’m back home

I got my Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileostomy with Sleeve gastrectomy on Monday. Everything went fine with the surgery. I made everyone aware that I had issues with pain meds (I require more because I metabolize them very quickly and they don’t last as long) and anesthesia (I wake up during my surgeries) so everyone seemed to […]
The surgery date has been set

I know that it’s been a while since I’ve written any updates. I just had my pre-op appointment on Friday and the surgery date has been set for my bariatric surgery. The big day is February 27th @ 10:45am. I can’t believe we are weeks away at this point. Exactly two weeks today in fact. […]
Working for what you want

I got a phone call yesterday from my bariatric office. I’m scheduled for surgery at the end of February. I can’t believe the time is finally here. I’ve been anticipating this so much and looking so forward to it. I’ve cut back on my coffee and come February 1st I’ll quit caffeine altogether. I guess […]
Back to school

The alarm was set at 6 am this morning and neither of my kids wanted to get up. I was surprised that Zahkya was still sleeping as she’s usually up between 4 am-5 am. Not this morning, however. After I shut the alarm off I turned on the lamp in the bedroom thinking that would […]
