Friends. How’s everyone doing? The holidays are behind us, spring awaits.

It’s been a special kind of challenge here. We’ve had some ups and downs with my dad. With all his treatments and medication shuffles, his cortisol level plummeted. He’s had all the symptoms of low cortisol - depression, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, inability to handle stressful situations, lack of focus. With the chemo, it’s hard to know which is coming from what honestly. Then with them increasing cholesterol medications and anti-depressants, him having joint pains, muscle aches, him having suicidal thoughts and crying jags that are so out of character, it’s been a tremendous stress and fear.

Glad to have a hopeful resolution and doctors who are paying attention. So. Watching such a strong and powerful man struggle, it’s humbling. In a way I can’t put into words. Too though, it’s coming up on a year without mom. Their house had a water leak that caused us to have to clear out mom’s clothes and such. Her dog passed. His shop roof has had some leaking that the company sent to fix it has been sluggish in doing so, which has lead to now more needed work. His side effects from the medications/hormone imbalance, has left him not getting out much, no motivation, in pain. So many factors, it’s been a course for sure finding our way to answers. Keep us in your thoughts as we navigate these times.

We had the difficult conversation to ascertain if he was thinking of hurting himself, had a plan. It was actually hubs who asked him flat out. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing man as my partner. Dad said he doesn’t have a plan and he made a pact with us, because of our kids, so, we will be close.

Too, this has brought my brother and I back into alignment. The estate is settled. He and I are talking daily. It’s been a tremendous support. A relief. We both have talked about how we want to have a relationship despite our differences, and it’s best case scenario. Fingers crossed.

Work is well. I’m in a stage of really enjoying my work and colleagues. There have been some salary adjustments that put us in a comfortable position where so many I know are not. Hubs too had a long overdue adjustment that rewards his long hours and efforts. Feeling so fortunate. Proud of how far we’ve come, not just financially and professionally, those are nice accomplishments too though.

C and I have it feels, evolved? Question for my long term committed relationship peeps, is this something you also feel you do as you grow together? Level up? Become closer through trials or talking, laughing? It keeps sneaking up on me, how much I have, with this marriage. That I chose well and we BOTH prioritize supporting one another and our family/relationship. It’s beautiful.

The kids are good. We had the magical snowpocalyse here. Since last week, it has literally rained EVERYDAY and gone from being ice and below 20 for a week to 60s and showers. Typical Tennessee weather. We could still have another couple rounds of winter. Guess we’ll see. School is back in and the yearly testing required of students is ongoing. It makes me nervous because the age group J falls in has had a lot of fallout because of delays with Covid. He’s worked so hard and did tutoring last year, I feel he has it in the bag, this mom ‘stress’ where you are constantly thinking and worrying is just another level of it all I suppose.

Valentines is coming up friends. What are your plans? Do you celebrate? We’ll be doing our tradition of making shepherds pie together. Also bought Lilith mommy and me dresses - she’s been asking and while I feel a bit silly, I think she will be so excited.

//C bought a pickle rick for his office.

//Our elderly cat has come out of her self imposed seclusion in the upstairs and is hanging in our room with one of our other cats and the kids. It’s been fun. We’ve had her 15 years? She was a rescue from Cs job parking lot.

//we took the kids for sushi and even though they didn’t love it. The chopsticks were a hit.

//Lilith is in an obsessive mommy snuggle/need stage. I’m working to enjoy this time as I know it will pass.

//busted my ass chasing c when he took off the the frosting for some cupcakes the kid and I made. I slipped on a pad for our old girl (doggo) Luna, and hit the footboard of the bed hardcore. Funny story, I’ll share one of these days. Nothing is broke so, win?

Wednesdays are the night I’m riding solo. C has to go back into work after I get home, it’s been a thing. So, tonight, I get here. The kids are chill. They’ve had dinner. It’s all about packing lunches and bedtime. What?!

So, I do that. Then I’m left with this time -

Which equals Yoga with doggo 💚

I even luxed with my newest obsession - Ayurvedic scalp massage 😍😍😍

And music 💚

Man I hope you loves are getting in what feeds your soul xx 💚💚💚

This place (The Rosepepper) switches these out every couple of days, and has been doing so for years.  It’s simple, but always gives you a reason to smile when you walk or drive by (it’s two blocks away from me).

I've spent, in different beds Many moons And that's the way I prefer it

I can't, she said I'd save you but I can't hide

I feel it crawl up my legs Let me wrap you up in these thighs It gets me out of my head again

I can't, she said I'd save you but I can't love

Clinching charts, April 8.

No team can clinch a playoff spot tomorrow, despite all of them playing, but Buffalo can be eliminated with a regulation L + both a NYI/FLA win.

Also worth noting that Winnipeg and Nashville play each other -- with only one spot left in the West, this might either seal Nashville's fate or complete Winnipeg's collapse.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour, etc etc

#nhl playoffs 2023 #Here's How Devon Levi Can Still Win #actually in the east i just want pittsburgh in and then i dont care who gets the other spot #meanwhile in the west i am a juuse saros conn smythe truther. as you all know. so nashville in or bust
