I have just realized that in one week, my child will be 24 years old?! Wait. What?! I had a child 24 years ago?! I sent him this video last month but now I have to send it again today:

This song wasn’t out when I turned 24 but I said this as well.

Tomorrow I have my appointment with my internist and I will get weighed and my flu shot. I’m going to tell her that she saved my life in suggesting that I get my colonoscopy. I’m still NOT okay with that by the way… I get weighed every six months just to make sure it hasn’t fluctuated that much.

Sean transferred me not too long ago and he told me that I am a lot lighter. My Mom has told me that my body is changing and I feel that as well.

I also need to have her update my medication list because I no longer take ibuprofen 800 because it gave me gastritis that I am still dealing with. I will see my naturopath in December to discuss that. I really can’t believe that this is my life now.

This weather is so weird and it’s so uncomfortable for me!!! I have not been able to sleep well the past two days and right now, the air conditioning is on in my house because it’s crazy uncomfortable outside.

I just want it to be Fall already!!! This is the first time that my body has ever felt this crazy. This back-and-forth with the weather change, I don’t like it! It’s uncomfortable to say the least!!!

Sean came by today and took a look at the garage door. I posted the fixed door on Facebook. I asked Sean about it, and he said that the fact that it’s the SAME door that he has seen NEVER working the whole time he has lived here. It was kind of crazy! I totally agreed with him! I told him that it’s just like the air inside. It’s different!

All we have to do now is clean that door! I think that’s something one of my ‘Secreds’ will do because I can’t! My Mom needs to rearrange things in there so that my car can go in.

My Mom messed up the door code to be NOT my normal code, but Sean reset it today.

I got my garage door fixed today. For the first time living in this house, I have a working garage door. It only took 16 years.

But, let me back up a little and ‘splain ya a little bit. I got my settlement earlier this year and it was for a lot less than I thought it would be. I thought about it and talked to God and decided to invest in my ‘Forever Home’ because that’s what this is:

I was able to get my very first washer and dryer that I bought NEW myself! I got the air-conditioning fixed, (I was without central air for nine years and depended on the window air conditioners that my brother bought me and Sean in 2016), and my ducts cleaned.

Because of that huge Wallside sale, I got windows for my house and I was able to get my Mom attic windows as well. She IS my caregiver! I can’t exist comfortably without her!!!

garage door is the last of my improvements for now. I’m out of money for that. My Mom took a video to show the garage door operating and I gasped when I saw it and told that that is the first time I have ever seen a working garage door in my house! I still have 313 payments until I own it, free and clear. Maybe that will be Sean’s job in the future…

The weather change.

Ugh.

I feel wonky. Probably from the rain last night, all night. I heard it.

I recently reposted posts that I’ve written as I’m trying to piece together this terrible summer. I posted this video and talked about how I felt. I posted this on June 20?! I still had two more months of summer to go?! I will repost the video and then I will ’splain ya why I posted it:

I think it was at the middle of May where I started moaning when I was brushing my teeth. I didn’t think anything of it at first, but as this summer continued and temperatures remained as uncomfortable as it remained. I felt like Anne Hathaway.

The moaning progressed to louder moaning And I would just drag my toothbrush across my teeth. My eyes would also sting with the possibility of tears coming out. I think it culminated a couple weeks ago maybe when the moaning led to my eyes stinging which culminated in me holding the bottom of my jaw with tears streaming openly down both sides of my face!!!

It took me a moment to realize what was going on, and I barely could make sense of it because it was so uncomfortable outside as well as within my own body.

I had a few conversations with my previous hygienist because a few months ago because my gums in the front of my mouth were feeling crazy! I thought there was something wrong! So I talked to Kristen about it, and as I was telling her, I realized that there is NOTHING wrong with my gums or my teeth at all!

I have been getting my teeth cleaned every six months religiously since Sean was three years old and he started getting his teeth cleaned. Before I had him, I was lackadaisical about making appointments like that. But now that I had a child who needed dental care, I had to give him a good example!

My Mom was extremely concerned as I sat there, holding my jaw, and crying! I told her that I am fine! I know that I am fine because I get x-rays every year and I get my teeth cleaned three times a year now. I told her there is nothing wrong with my mouth! My teeth are fine! My nerves are NOT!!!

As I said this to her, I was barely convinced myself because I use an electric toothbrush now and the vibrations as I’m brushing my teeth, during this heat, was just about unbearable!!! Other times, my Mom will look at me as I’m moaning with tears streaming down my face And wonder why I am doing it. I tell her that, “I need to have clean teeth!”

I think it’s pretty cool that I brush my teeth silently now as the ’Ber are just about here!!!

So, I got my windows yesterday.

I am a little bit speechless.

After 16 years of living in this house, this song is fitting because it feels so different!:

My windows are in and they came super early in the morning! I am so tired! Originally, I noticed the big window in my house before I bought it. In 2025, we do not have the artisans we had in 1951 so we had to change it up a bit, but I kind of like it!:

My house is in disarray still because we had to move it to make room for the people to come install the windows. It reminds me of the front window that is in my Parents’ house so I grew up with it.

I am officially into my Fall flavored chapstick. Just in time because I wore my coat out today because it was cold for me.
