Eight Days

Wow, it's been a crazy eight days here on the Mountain. I have been in bed sick for the majority of it. This past Friday, I had the MRI on my knee and X-rays on my hip. Hopefully, those test results will be back tomorrow. I have tried to avoid the outside world and keep to my little bubble at home, but the news gets worse every day. This morning I heard of more murders last night.  I just don't understand all the hostility.

Saturday, Austin and Lauren came to visit, and they got David a new grill for Father's Day! We all sat outside and grilled hamburgers. They brought Kai and man has he grown! He is so loving and follows Jackson around like his best buddy. Kai looks like the perfect football all player when he runs. He was so excited to see the baby too.

Tyler even came to visit, so we had dinner as a family. I hear from Jessica and CJ almost every day via Snapchat. I sure hope we get to visit soon and meet Chloe! Jeremiah is growing like a weed, and Jackson talks up a storm! He often tells me about his adventures with his dad. This week while riding the razor, they saw a big potbelly pig. Alexandria is doing good and even has a job lined up for when the doctor releases her to work.   

Ashley is still in her mood, and so I haven't seen Ellie or Elijah in 6 months. She didn't even call David on Father's Day. Ashley called me a bitch via text message the other day because I told her to mind her business. She was texting Jeremiah's father and the paternal grandmother behind her sisters back. I understand why Alexandria got upset with Ashley. I was woken up at 1:00 am because Ashley had got into a texting war with Alexandria. I think Ashley is destroying the relationships she has within our family, and I want to be left out of her drama! 

I felt like an orphan on Father's Day because I haven't spoken to my father in over a year. I have saved that story for my next book. 

Today I went with David to his doctor in Byrdstown. I didn't want him to be alone if he got more bad news from all the lab work they did at his last appointment. I am glad I did because he has Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. So, he will be on more medication. 

I find that life has been so busy that I often forget my phone. If you have emailed, please know I will get back to you soon! Remember, love, laughter, and the truth will keep you sane in these uncertain times!

Much love,

Tina

We have to stop meeting like this....

Tonight I talked to myself.  I said,” self, why do you feel the way you do?”  Then I said,” self, we have to stop meeting like this because it's one o'clock in the morning”!  I laughed because regardless of the predicament I find myself in, sometimes I don't understand why I do the things I do. Have you ever had a random thought and wondered, “why did I think about that?.  I try to ignore my random thoughts and feelings, but sometimes they just come out when I least expect it. Example 1 ~ When I forget to take my medication, I feel everything.  The depression, sadness, and pain flood in, and all I can do is cry myself to sleep. Example 2 ~ I was watching season three of Anne with an E tonight, and it hit me.  I was crying and feeling very sad.  I should be happy because it was a beautiful ending. However, my mind was thinking about how they loved each other in their youth and found each other again. Right now, in my life, love songs and anythi...

Beauty in the chaos

Early voting started Friday, so I went to town and voted in the States Primary.  It was a peaceful drive, and then Friday night, we watched the movie 2012. There are so many theories and conspiracies floating around online that the movie made me think about all of them. My thoughts quickly turn to religion and how none of us know when our lives will end. Humanity has gotten it wrong, so many times, and religious leaders continue to attempt to guess, but even the Bible says no one knows. One thing that I know for sure is the earth is a breathtaking place, and I continue to find small glimpses of its beauty amidst the chaos.  Just yesterday, we went to Fall Creek Falls State Park, and I took a dip in the cold water. Families and children were everywhere, laughing and playing.  You would never think that the USA is in an uproar. I saw no signs of social distancing or a pandemic.  I didn't see any mask.  Men were walking their dogs, and the beautiful smells...
