It has been so long since I have written a post, wow almost three years I think. So much has happened. First off, I thought I lost this blog, I could not remember my password. Then When I was able to remember my password, the blog didn't show up. So I finally found this blog again. Okay so here is what has been happening since 2021. I ended up getting covid in 2022, which turned into long covid, I started going to Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families, on Oct 29th of 2022 my husband and I went to a hotel as he got us tickets to go to a dinner murder mystery event, which was a blast, however I think that is where I got covid. Started getting sick on Oct 31st, Nov 1st took a covid test showed neg, then took another one on Nov 2nd positive for Covid. Then my husband got sick with Covid. Before all of this I was in a good place, I was working out again, had so much energy, I was going places, even walking more. So got better from Covid but as I said got long covid I do not have all of my energy back. Then we got a lot of rain in 2023 which caused flooding in our house that we had been living in for nine years, also battling a leaking roof to where we had dump buckets of water all night every ten mins, so we ended up having to move, to a nicer place. Everything seemed to be going well. Then everything started falling apart, June 6th a friend of mine died suddenly, so as I was grieving her, two weeks later my mom passed away on June 29th. I started working on my grief then Nov 6th Pepe got sick, suddenly, his kidneys started failing, we tried all we could to save him, and on Nov 8th we made the decision to put him to sleep, there was nothing more that the vet could do for my sweet boy. Nov 10th we ended up getting another cat a three month old kitten I named Mozzie, he is now seven months old, born July 24th, everything seemed to be going well, then suddenly Bailey my 13 year old cocker spaniel got sick, first they told us it was a double inner ear infection, and she had an eye infection, so we got meds for that, took her back in for a follow up, they found a heart murmur and enlarged heart, kidney levels elevated and something with her hip as well as dry eyes, so more meds and vet said to get contact eye solution to put in her eyes, which I did, then she started having seizures, Thursday the 18th of Jan was a bad night, she went down hill quickly and was having seizures every two hours, a week prior to that she stopped eating everything but ground turkey, she started losing a lot of weight, anyway, Friday Jan 19th 2024 my husband rushes her to the vet and, She never came home. I had a break down, a big one I was in bed for a month and half I turned 51 yesterday I still haven't figured out how to love myself and do what is best for me, I am still struggling with putting myself first. Though today I got up, brushed my hair, my teeth, put my Beats headphones on, turned on some music and started cleaning the kitchen. I also have been reading House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas. So yeah that's what the last almost three years have been like in a nutshell. I promise I won't be such a stranger.
