Yes, I haven’t blogged in ages. My battle with depression and chronic pain are trying to consume me.  However, I’m fighting a pretty good fight.  I’m trying new meds which is never fun.  The side effects are making me physically sick.  Upset tummy and insomnia to list a few symptoms. I’m also attending physical therapy for the last couple of months and still working full time.  It has been a struggle by I’m surviving and as always Dan has been my rock.  Thank goodness I’m pretty darn lucky to have a hubby like him.  He’s taken over most of the cooking and getting better at it with each dish.  I try to encourage him and tell him that a man that can cook is “VERY SEXY”.   Nothing is sexier than a man breading chicken unless he’s baking chocolate lava cake.  I love delicious chocolate.  


Boo is getting older and is now incontinent so he is wearing a “male wrap” to help reduce his accidents.  I still love him and get a kick out of his silliness.  He loves to just hang out on Dan or my lap.  I have given him the nickname the “meditation Dog”, Boo goes out to the yard through his doggie door and stands outside surveying his domain for hours on end.  I find it quite strange and enduring and have no idea why he does it.

We have two wedding this year. In October my sister will be getting married.  Next month my girlfriend since I was (3) will be married.  These weddings have me busy and happy.  I’m searching for the perfect dress for the weddings. I fell in love with one of the Duchess’ of Cambridge outfits during the Jubilee Celebration last week.  I’m searching for a knock off I think I found one.

Dan’s health is not 100%, these days he will need surgery on this knee, neck and shoulder poor Dan is falling apart.  The surgeries are microscopic that is the only great thing about this situation.  This will help with his recovery time.  Dan is planning to have his procedures at the end of July within weeks of each other.  He also has training next month for work, Dan is a busy guy.  I would appreciate it if everyone can keep him in their prayers.

Last week would have my grandmother’s (82) birthday.  She was called home (9) years ago and I miss her terribly. Next week will be the one year anniversary of my mother-in-law’s Laverne being called home.  I miss Laverne’s humor we always talked on the phone.  I still have her phone number programmed into my phone.

This month my Sienna turns (4) years old and each day she gets smarter, funnier and is always fearless.  Her mom and I were on the phone.  So, as she put it took care of things!  She told her mom:
Mommy you were on the phone Titi Net so I put the spider in the garbage.
Yes! Friends there was a spider in her room and since her mom and I were talking on the phone Sienna picked up a spider and throw it out because we were too busy for her. NOTHING bothers or scares Sienna. She is a leader not a follower.  She does her own thing and rarely conforms and sees no issues with her choices.         

________________________________________________________________________________________
Next month Dan’s friend Bob will be visiting for a bit.  I hope we don’t drive him too crazy.  He will be trying to help us organize this crazy household.  It will be interesting since we have a hard time parting with things.  I hope Bob can cope in this loud, crazy, silly house.  I welcome the help and suggestions he is bringing to this home.

Until Later-Hugs Janet

My Parents Have Made Contact

MY PARENTS ARE FOUND This past weekend my cousin spotted my dad in town but he was preoccupied looking for necessities and she didn't speak to him. We keep it to ourselves until we got more information. Since my mum was not with him. We were afraid of the worst because pop would not leave mum alone in this environment. Mum called my sister and spoke with her briefly yesterday evening. Mum said they were ok. They were getting water from a Spigotat one of the grocery stores about (7) miles from the farm. She said her ulcer in her leg burst open and she and pop were scared because she bled for a while until it stopped. Today made 12 days since I spoke to my mum. While working on some Disney bookings for clients. My cell rang it was mum. I began to shake because her photo and number were blinking on my cell. It was a quick 5 minutes emotional call with tears and fast-talking. We were afraid of the call dropping. She told me she loved me. Yet, the farm is gone only the house is…

I Can Cook Again

Disclaimer:  I'm not an affiliate of the Air Fryer XL.  I'm not getting money to talk about their product.  I'm writing about the fryer because it may help moms with disabilities cook for their families or any busy mom for that matter.
Uncle Joey is the cook in the house since I can no longer stand at the stove. Since he is in hospital dinner fell on us.   I decided to put the air fryer to work.

I have to say it's easy to use and I don't have to worry about getting burnt.  
Homemade french fries are my favorite. They cooked in air fryer in 18 minutes. All I had to do was spray oil on the fries. We had Omaha steaks also made in the fryer I don't remember how many minutes.





No one likes salmon in my house but me so I got to make Salmon and Bok Choy.  The Salmon was excellent it was cooked through and not dry.
















We also cooked pork chop but I forgot to take a photo. All you have to do is spray the food with some oil put it in fryer and use the automatic setting.  I turn t…

The Beginning

My good friend Lorie Shewbrigde is a Master Blogger. I love reading her posts. She tells me I should start one for kicks. So, here I am blogging. Like Lorie I have a disability. I use my wheelchair or my walker. We met on a Meditterian cruise back in 2007, at the gift shop. We were both complaining to our wonderful husbands about the rude passengers on the ship.
I always had someone bumping into me about to fall into my lap. They‘d look horrified and would walk away, without one word. Lorie always states since we are wheelchair users we see butts and babies. Some butts are great but for the most part I choose the babies.

My husband Dan is a 20 year Navy veteran. He is working with the Army in Iraq and it’s been over 15 months. Things here have gotten quite stressful, confusing and at times downright irritating

I am still trying to make repairs to the house since the Blizzard of the century. Handle the boss, the parents, help out my sister, deal with the car, the fridge, the running toile…
