I wanted to say that in the last week or so I have been having a hard time sleeping again and also having some dreams that are very disturbing for me which makes me not sleep or wake up in a distressed state. I have also been feeling more and more anxiety when I am in crowds. If I am in a room with co-working giving a class or demo it is no problem, it just seems to be when I have no connection to people. It is very stressful for me, but I am trying very hard to not let it get me down low.

Alright, good things now. Like a couple weeks ago I had to return the new ring I had gotten because there were two diamonds that had fallen out and it was very rough and actually giving me a callous on on my pinky finger. I had ordered a new one and went to pick it up and then I happened to see another one I wanted more. So I got it and it is beautiful!!! I will put a picture below. The reason for this ring is a congratulations to myself for being in the railroad industry for 20 years. I am not married and never had been and I love these style rings so who the heck cares if I have a ring on that finger or not!!  By the way, my hand looks so bad in the picture, I am not sure if it is dry or just old

Carlos and Paul both came over today but mom and I were gone most of the afternoon. I did promise them Yummy Chicken and Dumplings so we had to go to the store to get some of the ingredients. Then we managed to forgot the “dumplings” but luckily we had some here

I had a good picture of the Penny and Dime dog yesterday but forgot to post it so I am going to put it below too They seem so sweet, but they are CRAZY

I changed my bed sheets in case my cousin wanted to stay the night here or my mom wanted to sleep in my room and have a bit more room with the dogs

I am leaving out again tomorrow night and won’t get back this time until Friday evening. This will be a hard one, but then we have a holiday so that will make it easier. I am thinking about driving to Atlanta next week for my trip, but now that I think about it that won’t work because I really need to get my car serviced. See just gotta talk it out to yourself some times

Alright, I am going to get my body cleaned up and get under the sheets!! I will talk to y’all tomorrow, but may not get it posted until the next day because I am going to be getting in late.

I have been playing tennis with these dogs for so long and now all of the sudden they are no longer bringing me the balls back… Dime is actually hiding them like little easter eggs. I am not sure what the deal is, maybe this is their way of saying I am done or what. So now I have 0 tennis balls in the bin. I will go get them tomorrow before I leave.

I had a very little production day today. Dad and I had to go see the life insurance guy and I just didn’t have enough of the info I should have for him to review my stuff, but we did get dad’s looked at and found what we needed for that. I will have to go back in a couple weeks to get the rest done. I am looking forward to it.

I did get most of the house swept, needed to do my room and tomorrow I will mop. I want to change my bed set, but I am only going to be here one more day so it isn’t worth it because the dogs are just going to own the bed while I am gone. Maybe I will do it tomorrow anyway since I think my mom might sleep in here while I am gone to keep the puppies company

I am going to wrap this up a little early, I am not feeling great right now and really wanna just lay down. Goodnight and see you tomorrow!!!

Today was a day to wrap as many things up as I could before I am traveling again.  I am leaving out tomorrow but just for two days.  I need to get a lot of new feature work done with this project and that is always the hardest thing to do.

I have not yet finished packing.  My new luggage is great, but it is like perfect for 3 days away, but not really just a night.  I am wondering what I should do, I have a feeling I will be getting a new piece  Or maybe not!

I am excited for this trip, I should be nervous, but I am not.  I guess I will see how I am Thursday, but right now – good to go

I got all my laundry done today and put away – such an adult

I just played with the puppies outside, in the rain, and Nickel is just sitting behind me barking – I might not miss them this time  I just walked around the property with them.  I don’t get it, but that seemed to make him a bit happier.

I hung a couple family pictures that we had.  I have to adjust one of the heights, but it looks pretty good.  Need to get a new one made, these are pretty old

Alright, got to wrap this up so I can clean up a little bit so I don’t have so much to do tomorrow.  Not that I am leaving early, but I don’t like to be rushed

Goodnight all!!

Today I had a doctor’s appointment that took way too much out of me.  The appointment was a bit later than I usually do because I had to change it at the last minute and then I had to drop some prescriptions off.  They tell me it will be ready in an hour so I went to the store and walked around waiting and when I went back – not ready…  It is now 12:30.  Now I have to go back out, but that is OK because I do have something to do that I am very excited about.  I think I can show it because the person I am going to do this for does not read my blog

I have a call right now and then I am going to wrap up a couple things and head back out for my meds that I have been needing for a couple days now.

I got a couple packages today, several of the stickers I got for my laptop and my stand and also some new cables for my mac.  They are for traveling, making my life easier.

We just got back from all the stops, the frame place, the drug place, and a food place  Publix has THE BEST potato wedges – if you don’t know, now you know!!!!!

The dogs were pretty bad at dinner time.  They would not eat their food, they were so concerned with what mom was eating.  I hate that, but oh well.  I will wait to see when they want to play ball and hope no one gets sick because they didn’t eat when they were supposed to!  It’s feels like I am talking about a kid

Oh, I keep forgetting to mention it, I think at least, I think my dad’s favorite thing to do is to look for typos in the blogs  He yells, FOUND ONE!!  It isn’t usually a misspelling, but the wrong word

Just got out of the shower – I love my shower – it is so relaxing – the funny thing is that I only appreciate it after I travel  Otherwise it’s just a shower – ha ha ha.

OK, I am going to start relaxing so I can go to bed – goodnight all

Look at how this picture frame is gonna look!

Tonight we went to see Amy Schumer and she was hilarious!!!  I was very worried as I had not seen any of her stuff but goodness it was funny

For the most part I have done nothing today.  I am working on stuff for the website, but none of it is published yet.  I am just building it up.  I didn’t even manage to get laundry done and I always do that on Sunday.  Oh well

I am looking and looking at the blue braces I had painted for my desk and I am so unsure about it.  Really I think my issue is that it’s not just those pieces, those are going to eventually connect to the ceiling and I just think that might be a lot of the blue.  It is so hard for me to make the decision

I ordered me a new stand for my laptop, one where it stands on it’s side.  I just don’t have the space for the old one and I don’t really open the lid when I am using it at home now.  So, bonus.  It was supposed to be here today but shockingly the USPS did not deliver it.

Alright, time for sleep

I am so very happy to be home and have a rest day I spent most of the day in bed and half of that time sleeping!! ha ha ha

Right now I am eating me some icecream and watching my favorite YouTub-er Casey Neistat. I think I have linked to him before, but if you are into the daily blog / vlog kind of thing, he has an amazingly happy and fantastic person who puts out great content.

I just got done playing tennis with the dogs and they decided they had enough, for the first time while I was playing with them. It was a hot one today – even inside the house – I had to get out from under my covers a couple times ha ha – I am on a roll tonight

Today my dad was talking about not ever flying in a helicopter, goes to the restroom, and proceeds to remember SEVERAL times that he was on a helicopter He had mentioned that he flew in on around the Pisa, Italy and my mom mentioned that she had actually walked up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. For some reason I think they no longer let people walk up it, but I can’t confirm it. That is pretty cool on both parts.

So I got my first Barkbox while I was gone and promptly opened it and Nickel LOVED the toy that came with it.  Believe it or not, he has not completely destroyed it yet!!!  Amazing!

I have finally finished my book, The First World War: A Complete History, I have been reading it for so many months.  It was very good and super informative, but just took me forever to finish it.

I just had to go back outside and play tennis with the puppies again.  Nickel was just staring at me talking while I am sitting here trying to get my blog done – I love him so very much but sometimes he is a pain  I got bit up by ants while I was out there, guess it’s time to put some stuff down to kill them.

Could I have more links in this page  I just want to point people in the right direction if they are interested.  OK, gonna clean up and get ready for bed – goodnight all
