For my Mom 💜💜💜

Growing up, I did not fully enjoy saying the rosary. My Mom, however, does. I agreed to say them with her because I enjoy saying them WITH my Mom. The newest development for me is that I can’t speak properly at times. Saying the rosary with my Mom became difficult because I know what I want to say but I can’t control my muscles enough to make the words come out properly.

My Mom came across this man saying the rosary and we use it now when I can’t speak well. His Irish accent reminds me of Fr. Rooney who was our pastor when I was a child and he presided over my Dad’s funeral mass. My Mom will search her phone each day trying to find the proper rosary so we see the proper mysteries. I am posting this post for my Mom and or anyone else who may want to say a rosary for all of us during this most trying time:

Glorious Mysteries for Wednesday and Sunday:

Joyful Mysteries for Monday and Saturday:

Sorrowful Mysteries for Tuesday and Friday:

Luminous Mysteries for Thursday:

Overheated

I blowdried my hair today and I had to take an, “Intermission” in the middle of the process because now that my hair is close to 2 inches longer, it takes longer to blow dry and I get overheated. I cut my hair to it’s current length just over 12 years ago on my 26th birthday.

It became abundantly clear to me why I did this just over 12 years ago. Long hair is way too hard to keep up! Sean laughed when I tossed my hair because it is so long! He told me last week it was like an inch longer than normal. The last haircut I had, had to have been in mid February. I didn’t make a March appointment because that was just when things were starting to ramp up. I canceled a cleaning appointment I had with the dentist because things were just starting to get bad.

It is imperative that I take all of these developments seriously because my immune system is compromised. My Mom has offered to cut my hair for me because the drying took so long but I just laughed and in declined the offer. Christina has been waxing my eyebrows and cutting my hair for the past 17 years and pandemic or not, I am NOT going to change that! Because of that fact, I will just let my eyebrows grow (Like I am) and my hair along with it! I will just have to to take breaks while blow drying my hair and deal with my pink face and fatigue caused by me becoming overheated.

Love

I have been holed up in my house with my, “2 Sacreds” for a while now. I have not left my house at all! A few friends and a couple brothers have brought stuff to us. My Mom will don her mask and gloves and take her spray bottle to spray everything down and wipe them off before she brings it into the house. I really have been feeling the love from all of them and my Mom takes such good care of me!

One of my brothers came to drop groceries off this morning and once he left, this is what I saw:

As my brother, Steve, talked to my Mom through the door, he let her know that I received a present. So, my Mom put on her mask and gloves and took her spray bottle now to collect the groceries and this is what she saw:

She called through the door and as she was spraying everything down and told me what it was. She read the note that was attached to it to me:

It was an absolutely beautiful note and my heart was completely warmed!!! She wrote that there was only one package there and she bought it for me because she knows that I use that brand. I COMPLETELY felt the love from my cousinT, Shannon!

It was a package of Glide floss picks!!!:

I was so glad to receive this because my current package is running low!:

I was so happy to receive this that I texted her right away:

I am the green and the Bitmoji. I am so happy and I really feel the love even though I haven’t left my house at all throughout all of this! 💜💜💜
