I STILL have not gotten my haircut on since the beginning of the pandemic because of my immuno compromised self. I have taken pictures of my hairs growth since the quarantine began. I don’t know the dates of these pictures but this is the world that’s far:
Before I share the picture I took today, I want to explain that I always have a long hair and I remember one time in kindergarten, my Mom was not there to get me ready for school so my Dad did it. He asked me how my Mom normally fixes my hair for school and I lied and told him that she just lets me keep it, “Long and Flowing.” Let me go to school with my hair down.
My hair in grade school was extremely long and even though I was short, my hair was pretty much in my butt the whole time I was there. Well, that was a mistake to leave my hair down and I learned that that day!
My hair today reminded me of seeing System of a Down perform BYOB on Letterman (I think) in 2005. This music really isn’t my bag but I thought of the singer who yells at the beginning before the lead singer begins singing one so I looked at how my hair looks now:
My hair is starting to get long and it is super annoying and I hate having told Jesse so many years ago that I missed having a ponytail. After I took this picture, and put my hair in a ponytail and put my hoodie on:
So, now that my hair is, “Long and Flowing” now because I have not been to the salon to get it cut, my eyebrow is completely overgrown now too! But I am too proud to take a picture of that!
I finished my, “Slow Walk” of The Umbrella Academy yesterday, or rather, this morning. I know that I am late to the party but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I can’t wait for the third season to come out but since I am finished, I will just have to. It was pretty consistent throughout the two seasons that Klaus is my favorite!
I will say that I am more of an *NSYNC girl rather than The Backstreet Boys but I did laugh when this song played:
Made me laugh both times that he referenced this song as well:
I don’t know that I fully appreciated him until he described himself as, “Sexy Trash” though!!! 😂😂😂 The show has the BEST soundtrack!
So, the problems we’ve been having with Leia have finally been sorted out a bit. The throwing up and diarrhea were caused by her having a sensitive stomach. After the ultrasound, fecal diagnostics, and bloodwork, it was decided that this was the culprit. So, her vet prescribed prescription food.
I ordered it on Chewy today. The prescription was for rabbit.
She can no longer have her heartworm chewies and we will therefore combine her heartworm and flea and tick medicine in a different medicine that is administered between her shoulders once a month. This is a whole lot of information for me to take in but, she is completely worth it! As I ordered the food today, I could not get this Elmer Fudd cartoon out of my mind. It’s the first one but I could only find it in a compilation video:
I’ve always liked the word, “Palindrome” and I suppose Thursday was the radio, “Palindrome.” I heard a GREAT u2 tune on my way to the dentist and on my way back home from the dentist. It was meant for me!:
So, today was day six of watching Hocus Pocus and it is also day two of wearing a hat in my house! My Mom says that it is not really cold outside but I have a chill and I am cold! My internal temperature gauge has no rhyme or reason.
I started wearing my hat yesterday. By that I mean I wore the hat from the second I woke up until the second I laid down to sleep. Apparently, my hat cannot be found. It was misplaced so my Mom handed me one of Sean‘s hats.
It was a lined Piston’s hat and I put it on. He got this hat last year and has not worn it very much and I am grateful for that because it is NOT stretched out! That’s how it is with Sean’s hats because his head is bigger than mine! My brothers used to make fun of them when Sean was young but I would tell them that, “He has to have some place for all those brains to go! I’m very grateful for Sean’s hat today because it is very warm!
I think it was in the first few months of the, “Stay at home” orders when my hair started to grow out, that I realized that in the past couple years, my hair has really started to thin. My hair thinned out extremely when I was on my chosen shots. It was a side-effect from that shot. Once I stopped that shot, my hair started to grow back. I was very pleased about that!
But in the past few months, as my hair grow out, I noticed that it had begun to thin again. I’m not sure if you can notice it, but I do!:
But I just took a picture yesterday of my hair hand as it is longer, the waves have gone and it has gone back to my straight hair.
It just FEELS thicker! Which I Really like all a supplement that my chiropractor:/natropath told me about. I will like when I feel safe enough to go back there again! In the meantime, I will just order my supplements and I have them mailed to me. He recommended For-Til B12:
I have tens of thousands of pictures in my phone and I am still rockin’ an iPhone 7s! I recently upgraded my iCloud space so photos that were in my favorites, we directed to somewhere in my iCloud. I have been searching for a picture since Friday that I took it years ago. It was a perfect picture!
I took this pictures at my grandma‘s funeral. I know it was terrible to take a picture during mass but it was perfect! The picture was of my uncle Rey with his arm around my aunt Olga during the funeral mass.
I kept that picture in my favorites tab but when I upgraded my storage, it got lost. I am search my phone it’s Friday because that is when my Tía Alma let my Mom and I know that my Tïo Rey died. I searched in vain to find that picture for my cousins. My mom ordered flowers for the funeral because we will not be able to attend.
My mom ordered flowers my family for the funeral because we will not be able to attend. I am still going to look for that picture but I can’t stop crying…
So, I have been bummed out since learning Friday about my uncle Rey’s passing. My cousin, Reyna, called my Mom and we both spoke to her on speakerphone. Hearing her voice with her Texan accent reminded me of being young. I have SO many fond memories of being there and my Dad was happiest when he was in Texas! I told Reyna that I had been there maybe four or five times in my life and her family made a HUGE impression on me!
So, yesterday I was with my Mom when she ordered flowers for his funeral. Visitation was today. I was thinking about Reyna‘s Texas accent this morning and that picture I have of both my aunt Olga and uncle Rey. I scrolled through Facebook as I was trying to get my bearings about me and wake up when I saw this picture:
My Tïa Alma wrote this post and included this picture of my aunt Olga and uncle Rey. I gasped and seeing this picture took my breath away. I was either 6 or 7 when I was first introduced to my relatives in Texas. And Olga is my Dad’s aunt. She is my grandpa’s sister. Seeing this picture took my breath away because I am seeing their faces. The one I have that I snuck taking in church is of their backs but is uncle Ray’s arm around her and her leaning in shows so much they were in love. They are together now.
My Mom called the funeral home today to make sure the flowers were delivered and hearing the Texas accent again made me smile. The man who answered the phone told us they were delivered and later in the evening, both of my cousins (their daughters) thanked my Mom for the flowers, told her how beautiful day were, and texted her pictures:
The woman we spoke with on Saturday did a wonderful job arranging the flowers! Seeing the arrangement’s beauty and with my aunt and uncle’s picture in my mind, it still takes my breath away and I can’t seem to get this song out of my head:
A Chewy package arrived today. But it wasn’t for Leia. Actually, it was but she doesn’t care. I do though! Once my doorbell ring, I thought of this picture that my nephew’s fiancé tagged me in:
Leia wasn’t waiting by the truck, but rather, I was. It was a small package. This package was her medication. Because she is now eating special prescription food, She can no longer have her heartworm gummies. Instead, she has a liquid like her flea and tick medication which is both her flea and tick dosage as well as her heartworm.
it is NOT cheap at all but she is TOTALLY worth it! My Mom will give it to her between her shoulders in the next coming days. We have to keep her safe and healthy!
I’ve been debating on what to call this post since I wanted to write it Saturday morning! Some stuff went down Friday morning which change things in my house. My water heater broke! We did not discover this until Leia went to the landing by the back door as I was trying to wake up for the day. My Mom went to collect her and noticed that there was water on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. She thought that we had waited too long to take Leia out and she peed in the basement. Then she thought about it and realized the Leia doesn’t know how to go down the stairs. It couldn’t be pee!
My Mom went down the stairs and realized that the water was coming from my water heater that was on the other end of the basement and it had dripped on its way to the drain. She immediately texted my oldest brother a picture of the leaking water heater with the text, “WATER HEATER LEAKING!” He replied to her text with the text of his own. “Okay.” They made arrangements and he said he would drop in water heater off in between his jobs and come over to fix it when he was done working and he wanted to have Sean help him.
So, in the meantime, I still haven’t gotten ready for the day yet! It was like the, “Pioneer Days” because my Mom boiled water to use because she turned the water heater completely off to stop the leak that had ruined a throw rug I had in the basement that I got in my first apartment.
Welk, that rug is completely soaked and therefore, “Dead” and that stinks because I’m a pretty sentimental person and I have had it for 15 years but it was a $20 rug from Target and I have lots of pictures with it in the background but I will cherish more now.
I am not a pioneer but my Mom was wonderful at making it the easiest for me to get cleaned up. Obviously, I had dirty hair that day! I just put my winter hat on and I was able to not think about it.
So, during the day, my brother brought over the new water heater and he came in through the back door. My Mom was in the backyard with Leia when he came and that was Leia’s second bark! She obviously does not like 50% of my brothers! I asked my brother Dave what he thinks will happen after Covid and she sees us all together. We just laughed about it.
So then, Sean and my brother Ray came over to hook up the new water heater. Because they would be in the house for a prolonged amount of time, we both masked up:
But now to take Leia into account. She heard Sean‘s voice IN THE HOUSE as well as my brother, Ray’s. She was going nuts and whining because she wanted to be with Sean. My mom put her harness on her and hooked her leash up to my chair. She wasn’t going to be able to pull a 400 pound chair:
They were working until almost midnight but it all got hooked up. The next morning, my brother called my Mom when we were completing our routine and he asked how it was going. It’s crazy how much you take hot water for granted! He told that that water heater had a good run:
Even Sean said that that’s a long time to have a water heater! My Mom wrote the date on my new one and Ray said that it is NOT going to last that long at all!:
I think it’s crazy that major things in my house are starting to fail but when I bought my house, the inspector said I hand anywhere between 10 to 15 years on my water heater. It has been 11 but now it is reinstalled! Thanks To my brother, the plumber. It’s all about who you know!
