Good Morning!

AND… ♥♥♥♥

To this handsome guy right here!
My 2nd son and my number three in the birth order.
How did 34 years just whip through our lives?
This young man is hilarious, super smart, a college grad, a hard worker, an amazing singer – think Michael Buble’ – and honestly, everybody loves him! Omgosh. I just love him to pieces and you guys, he would make you laugh so much.
He’s been nothing but a joy, seriously, and I am so lucky.

Okay! Well, it’s Thursday, so it’s time for my Thursday 13!
Thursday 13 is just a list of 13 things you choose to post on, you guessed it, Thursdays!
What would your Thursday 13 look like?
If you want to join in, go on over to New Thursday 13 and sign up with Mr. Linky.

1.) I still can’t hear out of my right ear. They gave me steroids in case I had an inflamed nerve in my ear. Apparently I don’t otherwise the steroids would’ve worked and I’d be able to hear out of that ear. Next stop, the ears, eyes, nose and throat Dr. but not until after my trip back east for my grandson’s graduation. Thankfully my eyes still work because the most important thing to me right now is seeing my grandson graduate!

2.) If the Drs. can’t figure out what’s going on with my hearing I may have to get a hearing aid and holy hell those things are expensive even with insurance!

3.) My daughter, who’s son is graduating, keeps backyard chickens and her favorite chicken is Betty.
This is my daughter and Betty.

4.) I decided to make Betty a friend. Her name is Hazel and she has her very own AI chicken coop.

5.) I was sad to hear that Pope Francis had died and I’m curious to see who our next Pope will be. I hope it’s someone with a progressive mindset like Pope Francis had.

6.) I accidently ended up watching a movie on Paramount+ that I thought was going to be a series.

It was different… It’s supposedly about the voting in of the next Pope when the current Pope dies. It could’ve been a good movie if not for the ridiculous ending. So there’s 120 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

7.) I’m working on another crocheted chicken. Apparently my daughter and I are both obsessed with chickens now. She can’t stop buying them and I can’t stop making them. In her defense tho, we did have chickens when the kids were growing up so it’s a nice memory for her and now for her kids too.

8.) I totally spaced that we’ve had Easter since I last posted. Geesh. I hope everyone had a good holiday. It’s amazing how the Easter bunny just keeps bringing you a basket no matter how old you get.

9.) My favorite Easter candy is the Brach’s black jelly beans.

10.) I need to get my hair cut before my trip. I’m thinking a bob of some sort, longish or shaggy, or a shaggy pixie. I haven’t decided yet but I’m leaning towards the shaggy pixie.

11.) I drank my coffee with milk this morning rather than Half and Half. The difference is like making cream of tomato soup with milk or making it with water which some people do. Not me. I need that extra creaminess!

12.) I think we need to take our dog to doggie school to learn how to get along with other dogs. He is so aggressive when he sees another dog and it doesn’t matter how big or how small the other dogs are. When we’re outside he’ll almost jerk your arm off with all of his charging and snarling and growling. Inside he goes nuts back and forth at the patio door. I know one day the blinds are going to come tumbling down.

13.) One of the side effects of the steroids they gave me for my ear is that they keep me awake. They also put me in a downer mood. So, basically I’ve been up all night with a shitty mood. Lol. Hopefully, I’ll wind down enough to get a nap in. If I’m that lucky I’ll be back around to visit and comment on your posts when I wake up.

Well, here we are in May… Holy smokes. Next month we’ll be half way to Christmas! Lol. I can’t wait! Aside from heading out to my grandson’s graduation I have zero plans for the month of May. I’ll be back east until the first week of June and I have a feeling June will be a busy month for me.

What are your plans for May? June?? Anything thrilling and spine chilling you’d like to share?? I’d love to read about them so drop me some comment love so I can be the nosey bitch that you all know me to be!

If it’s Thursday, then it’s got to be time for my Thursday 13!
Thursday 13 is just a list of 13 things you choose to post, and it’s my go-to post for all Thursdays that I first learned of from Liz over at Laws of Gravity. If you want to join in, go over to New Thursday 13 and sign up with Mr. Linky. FYI, it’s not as easy as you might think.

1 – My morning Angel card. – The Chariot, I’m on my way with Archangel Metatron by my side!
*** Metatron, his name means the angel of presence.

2 – We’re having a super windy day today!
My favorite weatherman, Kody, posted this. His forecasts are 110% accurate, and he’s funny!

3 – A quote I read online today. Perfect for the times we’re living in.
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” ~ Mark Twain

4 – I love that it’s warm enough to have the windows open. I don’t love that my dog almost broke thru the screen to get to a squirrel. And this is why we have sticks in the windows and sliding glass door.

5 – This was such a good book. I highly recommend it.
The Story Collector by Evie Woods

Yes! It happened! That’s me getting sucked up into the spaceship! And I would’ve been back sooner, but this was my Captain, and, well… I may or may not have been a willing captive.

So, hey everybody! How are you? I know there’s a lot of catching up to do. I hope everyone is well and enjoying this flip-flopping springtime weather that seems to be making the rounds.

Something else has been making the rounds out here, too, but I have no idea what. This past week, I was in bed sick. Literally, in bed. I hadn’t been that sick since I had Covid so it’s really been an ass kicker. I still have something going on with my right ear. Totally clogged and can’t hear a thing out of it. My energy level is off, too. It just randomly drops, and instantly, I feel like I need a nap! I had just been to my doctor three days prior, and everything was fine. I’m guessing I picked something up there. Who knows. It’s so crazy. You follow all of the procedures, dunk yourself in a barrel of hand sanitizer, and you still get sick.

I hope none of you are sick or anyone in your families, and that life, for the most part, is good. We all have our days, but the plus side to that is that we’re still having our days. Right?

And really important? Take care of yourselves. Put all of those self-care tips into practice. You’re just as important as those you care for.

Oh. Totally forgot… Are any of you doing the A to Z Challenge?

MIMI’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY –

Missed Connection Monday is brought to you by your local Craigslist. These are real “love notes” that strangers leave for other strangers in the ‘Personals’ section on Craigslist. Or as I like to call it –
Your local serial killer hunting ground.

Your morning “friend”
You give me a reason to smile, and you make sure to let me know when I’m not lol. Your smile is beautiful is and intoxicating, and it’s there everyday. I think your name is Heidi but we’ve never actually exchanged names just conversation. There are so many things I want to say other than small talk but I’m terrified of you 😂. You’re out of my league for sure. Maybe in a different world or a different life or even a different time in our lives, the possibilities would be endless. I’ll see you in the morning, when I get my coffee.

**** Dear Your morning “friend,” She’s probably one of those serial small-talkers who talks to everybody in line. – Not me. – And yeah, I’m sure she flashes that beautiful, intoxicating smile around giving everyone a reason to smile. – Also, not me. – You think her name is Heidi? Here’s a tip. Stop being a fucking creeper and just introduce yourself. If she tells you her name maybe it’s something, maybe it’s nothing but you won’t find out by creepin’.
– P.S. – If you see her every day why are you posting on Craigslist??? Again, stop being a fucking creeper.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend! If any of you are impacted by the California fires, please know we’re all praying for you.

How was your weekend? I worked on my WIPs (works in progress). A buffalo checked and red flannel rag wreath that I didn’t finish in time for Christmas and a crocheted fall throw that I didn’t get finished for my daughter’s birthday in October.

I hope you have a great week ahead and wonderful weather, whatever that is for you.
Is anyone watching Landman with Billy Bob Thornton in it? I just started and I’m hooked. It’s streaming on Prime and Paramont+ if you want to give it a little look-see. It’s pretty good.
