Good Friday Good Friday Good Friday good
evening to your Friday I hope everybody
had a wonderful day today so today was a
million times better than it has been
thank God
I not dizzy at all I stayed in the house
all day yesterday which I think really
helped because I wasn't putting myself
out in the smoke and I kept my house
very well closed up and just kept my air
condition going and so it I think it
really just helped so when I woke up
this morning it was so much better I
just felt a million times better so that
was an amazing feeling and so I stuck
around I did some like running around
around the house just trying to get some
stuff done and I succeeded which was an
amazing feeling once again because it's
always such an amazing feeling to reach
your goals of what you have set for
yourself when you have so much that you
want to accomplish
so as I'm accomplishing those things
it's such an amazing feeling to be able
to do them and see that I'm
accomplishing it and my list is getting
checked off and it's like yeah I'm
feeling so today we ended up going out
finally
the air quality seemed a million times
better to like seriously I didn't I
didn't even see any smoke in the air
which I had noticed this morning at when
I looked out the window I was like oh I
don't even see any smoke which before
because we live up on kind of like a
hill so I can see so far out on West
Salem that you I mean like yesterday I
couldn't um so it was a nice feeling to
look out the window and not see smoke
everywhere like there was a house on
fire like right next to us or something
and then we went ahead and we went out I
had to I did end up going to Dollar Tree
which I needed to get a few things which
look what I found I was
so excited so remember I was telling you
guys how I've been trying to figure out
like where how I was supposed to
organize all my jewelry and stuff
because I'm having such a hard time
being able to really find a place to
just put it all and make it look nice so
as I was looking around at Dollar Tree I
was I walked around I stumbled across
the school department like the school
section never thought to look there
before not for things that I need and um
I found this and look at that hair I'll
open it up it like it just you know it
it kind of displays the jewelry really
pretty
I don't you guys can see but I mean I
have like I have all my bracelets in
here I have my rings in here so it just
makes it look nice so when I you know
when I want to find something I just
have to look and I can simply see what
all I have which makes it really nice
and then I also found in that same
section these little drawers they are so
handy because honestly so I don't have
them all filled up obviously which is
fine because all and offline things
don't worry but these are like all my
little charms for my charm I have charm
necklaces and charm bracelets and in
fact actually in here well this I always
pull up in jewelry when I'm talking to
you guys isn't that funny um I have this
one this is one of my really favorite
ones don't know if you can see it very
well because the camera but it has like
little gems in it
it's or I think it's origami or origami
somebody oh I'm showing to you backwards
sorry so it has like little gems on it
and then it has um let's see it has a
duck a blueberry muffin a little Daisy a
word hope a brain boot and then it has
my little Daisy that I chose to hang on
my bracelet I love this thing but the
fun about it is in this little blue
do you think that I bots me so I also
have a keychain that does the same thing
it just oops
well see about that it just pops open
and you can stick any of your little
gems in it so I buy like quantities of
them at one given time so so like some
of these are not worth gommi charms but
I mean you would never know the
difference but like this one's a cactus
oh and you put them inside there so
anyways I've got tons of so I got
letters and oh you name it I probably
have it in there I've got let's see I
have a black pumpkin get that um anyways
I can go on forever I have like aha you
probably can't even see this one because
my fingers are not cooperating very well
it really is a cooperating it's like a
little flip-flops you probably cannot
see that probably cuz it's picking up my
face anyways so I was able to use that
for this and then also I put which
actually I could probably switch this
round I put all my like you beep or the
the chords I put those in here just to
keep everything kind of just organized
just so that it's not all flying
everywhere but also that way then I can
see everything really nicely and the
blue things stack which makes it really
nice and then um what else oh I got this
because I've actually be taking this out
into the kitchen but I'm gonna make my
own cleaning stuff because I you know I
do use tile X and stuff and the bleach
but it does get kind of strong and so I
thought about just trying to look up
some
homemade things and I found one that I
really really like so I want to try it
and just see how it works so anyways
that was pretty much all that I got
today from there I think yeah yeah I
think that was pretty much all that I
got from there today but it was such an
amazing day like I had a really good day
just getting out there and just having
fun and you know I was so proud of
myself once again because I walked
through dolla tree and I was in there
for probably about a good 25 to 30
minutes walking around and I just
remember shortly a month ago I was at
the dollar store and I literally I am
not even kidding you I walked into the
store I got back to buy the picture
frames and my back was hurting so bad
that I busted out into sweat I felt like
I was gonna pass out I was trying to
check out and I literally was leaning on
everything that I could lean on and um
the checkout department just to relieve
the pressure off my back and today I
stood there I waited for my turn my back
wasn't bothering me it was a little it
was a little pinchy a little just like a
tad pinchy but it wasn't bad like it
wasn't like to the point where I was
just gonna like freak out like I knew my
back was gonna probably start to hurt a
little bit
so maybe key and that you know was
probably gonna get time to close up shop
at the store but it wasn't like I was
dying in pain and that was an amazing
feeling um
update on the dryer so we did get it
into a place and we had to take it there
of course um
come to find out I was wrong I guess it
was the timer that is broken it is burnt
out so we already have a clue we know
what happened so Jeremiah is Jeremiah's
chore is to switch the laundry from the
washer to the dryer and then to take the
clothes from the dryer and put him onto
the couch and then out
with it from there well about three
weeks ago I heard him in there pushing
on and off the button on the dryer so
you know when you push on the dryer to
start it you have to kind of hold the
button for a second for it to start well
he was doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
really quick so it was like starting but
stop being starting something in a way
and I yell like hey you're gonna break
the dryer doing that and he has a
tendency to do that a lot or like the
light switches he'll do that to do and
I'll catch him like in the act so they
don't be like hey you know we don't do
that so they're gonna have to replace
the timer which is like 190 dollars
still cheaper than going and buying a
dryer but the sad part is the dryer is
not going to be here until Monday so I
cannot tell you in how many years I have
been without a dryer in a washer and I
am like I am dreading this because I
think we're gonna be fine I told Ollie
we might have to go to the laundromat
once which would be tomorrow and in fact
I probably would just send him because I
don't feel like dealing with the kids at
the laundromat and just do one load of
like the kids is closed because like
their pajamas and stuff like that but
other than that everything else can wait
until Monday hopefully to get there and
they get it done but other than that I'm
thinking that that is the only thing
wrong with this dryer because if it is
not I'm going to scream so he knew I see
yeah that is about the dryer what else
is in the news today something else
something I noticed today that I haven't
been able to do for it quite a while and
you all know what I've been working
towards what is the one thing that I
have been trying to fit into for a while
and I haven't been able to because
been a little too big item has been too
small the thing has been too big my ring
so I brought it out today I told all I
said can you please go into the safe and
can you please bring out my wedding ring
I just want to try it ain't I miss
wearing my wedding ring and he's like
yes I'll do it you know of course and so
he wouldn't he did it and I was able to
slide it right on so I am going to show
you guys my wedding ring I have it all
but I need to grab the other part of it
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
so here is my wedding ring it's kind of
blurry but see this is the part that I
have a hard time with so this is my
actual wedding this is my band and then
but when before so there is this band is
the same as this band but I had this one
soldered because the ring is a very
thick banded ring so when I get it on my
finger it's really thick and it has a
tendency of wanting to kind of slip off
so I always was afraid that having that
band on the loose band on the front that
it could easily slip off and I may not
even notice it so I had them solder that
one to the actual ring but it definitely
makes it very thick so here is my entire
wedding ring all together
[Music]
but it is thick I mean thick thick so I
have a hard time wearing it when it's
this thick because as you can see it's
still my fingers I mean it it's almost
just too thick in general and I don't
know if it's gonna get any better
because of my fingers losing weight I'm
sure it will probably get better but I
mean until now what I did was I just
retired this one out for right now and
I'll just put this one away and I'll
just wear my regular wedding ring
because honestly it has been honest to
god I have not worn my wedding ring in
[Music]
four years almost four years because I
would not wear it after I had the babies
because the diamond sets up pretty high
and literally it was it was hurting the
kids so I took it off and I put it away
and then my hands got big and all of
that so then of course I couldn't wear
it and Fiasco goes on from there but yes
I get to wear my wedding ring Society so
anyways that was really pretty much all
for today I didn't have a lot a lot a
lot going on I did want to dress really
quick we did get it figured out but I
just wanted to let everybody know that
the message yesterday that I was leaving
wasn't a message of me quitting my
weight loss journey it's not me um
giving in and allowing myself things
that I wasn't allowing myself before
because there was a little bit of
miscommunication there I am NOT giving
up my weight loss journey all I am doing
is I am not focusing only on my weight
loss journey so my journey is in
everything journey now because I
realized that there's so much for me to
work on than just my weight but my way
is my number one of course because
my weight is what's gonna continue to
drive me to want to get better for
everything else but I don't want to call
it a weight loss journey 100% because I
think that it's a more healthier way of
saying I'm working on my journey this is
my journey of how I want to become my
life and everything else so I just
wanted to clarify that because I think
that it got it a little bit
miscommunicated and I just didn't want
people to think that I was giving up or
that I wasn't gonna do it
and when I say that I allowed myself to
have carbs yesterday I allowed myself to
go have carbs every day there's not a
day that goes by that I don't allow
myself to have carbs I just eat it in
moderation and I allow myself to have a
certain amount and that's it I mean in
with the macaroni and cheese yesterday I
won her Everson didn't feel guilty at
all because in my rest of my life I'm
sure man had macaroni and cheese at some
given time so why would I be strict I
self away from it today when I'm gonna
allow myself to have it before but the
difference is is I eat it in a portion I
don't eat the entire amount that I would
have at one time which would have been
the whole box and maybe even a half of a
box I now will only have a half of a cup
and like I said if I'm still hungry then
I can go and have some vegetables or a
salad or an orange or something like
that to eat with it so it's not like I
am depriving myself or restricting
myself I allow myself but I do it in
moderation and control my amounts that I
do have but I just want to clarify that
because I didn't want anybody to think
that it was something that I was just
100 percent saying oh I'm not working on
my weight loss journey anymore and it's
just a done deal because that's
definitely not the case I'm here for the
long haul and I'm not going anywhere and
I just hope that that message reaches
you guys in the right way and it doesn't
you know confuse you guys because I
didn't realize when I said it it could
have been taken the wrong way and I so I
want to clarify that anyways other than
that today has just been a really short
day I'm gonna jump out into the living
room and help clean up I've got some
things to get done and
then it's gonna be bedtime it's been you
know a day where it's it's bedtime it is
bedtime for my babies so anyways I
really hope you guys had a wonderful
Friday and I hope you guys have a
wonderful day tomorrow and I will talk
to you later bye
