Today marks four years since I lost my sweet daddy. His death knocked the breath out of me, even still today. One of my calls today was a listening call so I jumped out for a walk. I put on my rain jacket and hat since it was raining a little bit. I was pretty …
How often have you heard, or even said yourself, “life is short” ? Trust me. It is. Last week I read on Facebook someone posted about a death of a person I knew. I was in shock. I reached out to two mutual friends. They hadn’t heard and I don’t think they believed me. (One …
March Madness is in effect, and not just in the NCAA college basketball playoffs sense. As I anxiously wait for my beloved Kentucky Wildcats game to start, go UK! #BBN. 💙💙 Weather has been odd this whole month throughout the country. My area has experienced tornadoes, storms, summer-like weather, and frigid cold temps. Other parts …
Summer is here…and I’m loving it. Give me the heat and humidity. It makes me want to be out more, but it also makes me miss running. Ugh..I digress. This blog is a wrap up of my week. I felt this week was a nice break to insanity lately. Monday I jumped out to walk …
I’m not into the ‘new year, new me’ saying. It’s still me; but I just need to do better. Who doesn’t? I didn’t do the elliptical for a week. I knew I had a big event a few days ago that would test my walking abilities so I made sure I rested my new hip …
I’ll soon be six weeks post op. I had to humble myself and ask for something for sleep. Since surgery, I have been slept a total of four hours each night. There is no comfortable position and I feel every movement, which keeps me awake. My surgeon suggested different things to where I’m learning to …
It has taken me a week to finally decide to talk about this. People tell me hip replacement isn’t as bad as knee replacement. STFU. It’s still a major joint. Quit fbombing downplaying it. I can handle pain. I refused all pain meds prior to surgery and pushed through. This pain was unbearable. For two …
If you’re an Alan Jackson fan or just know country music, than the title of this blog needs no other explanation. Welcome the mighty Midwest, home of HHH - hazy, hot, and humid. This girl will never complain. I’m solar-powered and need this for full functionality. (I learned that from one of my coworkers.) I …
Let’s pause to think of all the soldiers who died for our freedoms. Freedom to write this blog. Freedom for my rights. I salute and honor you all. Now I shall begin my post. I haven’t written lately. Traveling for work and then I had to take a short break due to my damn hip …
I love pearls. I always have. My lifelong friend's grandmother gave me a 'fake' pearl necklace on my 16th birthday. I remember it so much. Kind of a funny laugh when I think about it. Miranda's dad was driving us to church. I was sitting behind Doug and his mom, Miranda's grandmother, was sitting next …
