Fat Girl Go Away

Today, I was late to notice: 8am - My work phone was unplugged when I went to call a co-worker 3:30pm - I didn't take my morning pills (7)  3:45 - My car didn't auto change time so I was grumpy having to hit the grocery at 5pm 4:30 - I realized it was 4:30, not 5:30 4:45 - My shirt has been inside out 🤦‍♀️ all day - thru a dr appt and grocery trip Stupid time zone change. Lets see how I handle making dinner (Chipotle-like chicken rice bowls)

Remember when I said I would post 1-2 times a month? My brain is still in October...  We went to Tennessee (Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg ) for our 3 year wedding anniversary two weeks ago. We were originally to go there for our honeymoon but James had just been diagnosed with end stage kidney failure and had started dialysis a month before the wedding so we decided to delay the trip. Here we are three years later and he is still battling kidney failure and all the healthcare challenges that comes with a chronic illness. So we decided to bite the bullet and book the trip! The trees and weather were spectacular and while the towns are true tourist towns, it was great to get out of town and try for a bit of normalcy.

Okay so it hasn't been a bakers dozen of years....oh wait it has been. I can do math, yay! Anyone miss me? This blog? Guess not since even I forgot about it! Whoopsydaisy! I will eventually catch ya'll up but basically in the last 13 years I've bought a house (2011), got a new car (Jeep, 2018) and got married (2019). I also avoided catching COVID during the pandemic. The pandemic resulted me working remotly from home which resulted me to lose about 30lbs. So, I am on the downhill side of the scale. Yay! Far from my goal weight but better than I was 2 years ago! My plan is to ressurect this blog with my hopefully-still-there writing skills so I can vent out my life to readers and to entertain you at the same time so as to keep you coming back for more!
