Anniversary, Christmas, and a Sinus Infection

Charlie and my anniversary was December 17th. We've been married for 28 years now. We were going to go to Salvino for dinner, but there were no tables available that night. So we went to Bravo instead. (Lucky 32 would've been our next choice.) Our food was really good. We ordered cheese filled fried ravioli for our appetizer. Charlie had the pasta woozie (alfredo) and I had chicken marsala.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

We had a pretty good Christmas even though I was starting to get sick with a sinus infection. I had made chocolate chip cookies a few nights before Christmas. My son Sean absolutely loves my cookies (the rest of the family loves them as well), so he was excited about that. I only make them once or twice a year. He told me the other day that he wants me to make more. lol For Christmas dinner, I made fried chicken (salt and pepper on Kelly's, Cajun seasoning on Charlie, Sean, and Ashley's, Goya adobo on mine and I dipped it in honey), homemade macaroni and cheese, homemade buttermilk biscuits, corn, and black eyed peas.

We watched the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special while we ate. Sean and Ashley hadn't seen it before and they loved it. It's so funny and touching.

Gifts

 

I got Charlie two pairs of plaid/flannel house pants. (House britches. lol) Sean and Ashley got him a cup that's like Yeti, but not that brand, and something else, but I don't remember what.

I got my mom a pair of soft pajamas by Cuddl Duds (dark blue with little Christmas trees and red pick-up trucks). She gave us money.

We got Sean the set of Mission Impossible movies. (He wanted them.) We got Ashley the first Outlander book. We got Kelly a video game (Death Stranding), a plush, dark blue/navy blanket, an Ahsoka Funko Pop, a wall tapestry with mushrooms on it, and an Elder Scrolls map. Maybe something else, but I can't remember. Also candy in her stocking. Sean and Ashley got Kelly a game, I think. Maybe God of War.

We got Del and his fiancee Shari a red plaid blanket that's lined with sherpa. Mom said they're getting us a gift card. They didn't know what we wanted and I couldn't think of anything.

Charlie got me new perfume. That's all I could think of that I wanted, so when we were out on our anniversary, we went to Macy's and I picked some out after smelling a lot of it. lol I chose "I Want Choo" by Jimmy Choo. I had been wanting new perfume for a few months now. I was tired of smelling the same. lol I had been using Marc Jacobs "Daisy Dream" for the past several years. I still have about a half a bottle left, so I'll alternate.

Sean and Ashley got me a book I wanted (The Fall of Numenor by J.R.R. Tolkien), a couple boxes of Goobers, and a bag of French burnt peanuts.

When I was finishing up the Christmas shopping on the 20th (for Mom, Del, and Charlie), I went to The Extra Ingredient and bought an apron and a set of biscuit cutters. So Christmas presents for myself? lol

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I mentioned earlier, I started feeling sick on Christmas day. It was bad Monday through Thursday. Wednesday being the worst. The pain in my head, face, and neck was some of the worst pain I've ever had - a 9 on a scale of 1-10. I started sneezing and coughing on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thankfully, I was never fevered. I started feeling better yesterday evening. Today I felt about 90% better. I'm planning on going to church in the morning. I'm really looking forward to it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I'm able to tomorrow, I really need to pay the taxes on my car and Charlie's hauler. It was due November 30th, so it needs to get done ASAP. As long as AF doesn't arrive, I will get that done.

Thanksgiving, New Purchases, The Walking Dead

On October 14th, Charlie traded the red truck he bought from work for a white truck from some guy he knows. The red truck was a Ford; the white one is a Dodge Ram (dually, diesel), I think. I don't remember what year it is. I haven't seen the truck yet. He has it at some guy's house where he's doing work to it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

October 30th, my friend Skyla in Louisiana died. She was only 40 years old. Last I heard, the police were still investigating.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This past Thanksgiving was the smallest Thanksgiving we've ever had. My mom worked, my brother was with his girlfriend and her family, Ashley was sick. Sean did come by that night, but otherwise it was just me, Charlie, and Kelly. I miss the Thanksgivings when I was with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

 

Our meal was turkey (I sent the leftover turkey with Sean for Ashley), stuffing, black eyed peas (closest thing to a vegetable that I like lol), broccoli, mashed potatoes and gravy, and crescent rolls. Dessert was apple pie and pumpkin pie.

I don't usually do a special meal for Christmas (I usually just cook whatever I'm in the mood for - a good, home cooked meal, but not a traditional Christmas dinner), but I'm thinking of doing something a bit more special this year. Charlie doesn't like turkey much, so I may do ham. Though I don't like ham. lol 

 

But I'm thinking maybe country ham so that I can do country ham biscuits for me. I love country ham biscuits. I don't think Kelly likes ham either (or pork at all; not even bacon!), so I may cook a couple chicken breasts for me and her. Also perhaps macaroni and cheese, dressing, collards (I've never made collards, so I'm thinking of getting some already made from a restaurant if possible), some other vegetable maybe, black eyed peas for me, maybe cranberry sauce (haven't had it since I my teens or early twenties), biscuits. I'm still thinking about it. I'm not sure yet what desserts we'll have. Sean wants me to make chocolate chip cookies. But you also kind of have to have pie for Christmas. Maybe pecan pie and chocolate pie or cookies and cream pie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lots of purchases since the last entry where I showed my purchases. Mostly shoes. I kind of went crazy with the Blowfish shoes. One pair a week. I still want a red pair.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

This past Sunday night was the series finale of The Walking Dead. I was much more emotional about the show coming to an end than I thought I would be. Even when watching the penultimate episode, I cried a little just because it was close to the end. The finale was sad in places (two deaths had me practically ugly crying), but it had a mostly happy or hopeful ending.

 

Complaints or scenes I wish were different: 

 

SPOILERS!!

 

Rosita's fall and then being able to get back up, let alone not get torn to pieces, was a little too unrealistic. Even in a show with zombies. lol But I'm still glad she did and typical Rosita came up swinging. The jump to the pipe on the wall, and she, Eugene, and Gabriel being able to climb it was questionable to me. Could they have really done that? But I'm glad they did make the climb.

Rosita's death after being bit wasn't consistent with the deaths of others who've been bit in the show. She didn't look or act sick - no sweating or signs of fever or anything. And when she died, she closed her eyes peacefully. Though at the same time, I didn't really want to see her struggling at the end. I'm glad they didn't show her getting stabbed in the head before she could turn into a walker/zombie. I was already crying pretty hard.

Daryl and Connie didn't kiss! Me and so many fans wanted/want them together so badly! lol I don't "ship" often when watching shows or movies, but I've wanted them together since the scene in the cornfield when Connie was trying to save baby Adam. If at the end of Daryl's spin-off show he and Connie don't get together I'm going to be a little ticked! lol

 

I would've liked to have seen Oceanside once more. We got almost nothing about them for a long time. It's my favorite location in TWD because it's at the beach. And I like that the women and girls of Oceanside were surviving after Simon had all their men and boys killed.

I wish we had gotten more of Jules and Luke before they died, but I guess the actor who played Luke was busy with other projects. Still, his death was so sad! When his friends (Connie, Magna, Yumiko, & Kelly) were around him sobbing, I was crying hard. Other people crying makes me cry.

Favorite scenes:

 

SPOILERS!!

 

Rosita, Eugene, and Gabriel saving baby Coco and two other babies.

Eugene and Max had a baby (and apparently got married some time during the time jump since we see him wearing a ring) and named her Rosie after Rosita. 

Maggie talking to Negan about Glenn (he was beautiful and good) and how she can't forgive Negan for what he did, but she can see he's trying to be a better person, etc. Probably the best scene in the episode, in my opinion.

 

The huge explosion that took out part of the Commonwealth so that they could kill the herd of walkers. I thought it was so cool! And the CGI was really good.

I loved when Princess (Juanita) and Max rescued Mercer. Especially when Princess said, "Baby, get back!" before blowing the door off his cell. I also like that she let Max hug her brother Mercer before she (Princess) jumped into his arms to kiss him.

Ezekiel is the new governor and Mercer is the lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth.

Carol has taken over Lance Hornsby's job. I guess that means she'll be checking on the other communities and making sure they have what they need.

 

I love that most of our group survived. Including Dog the dog! It hurt to lose Rosita (basically an OG character), but we still have Daryl, Carol, Connie, Father Gabriel (aka Father Gangsta - talk about a character with an arc!), Princess, Ezekiel, Jerry, Mercer, Lydia, Elijah, Maggie, little Hershel, Judith, Aaron, Gracie, RJ, Annie (really expected her to die), Negan, Nabila, Jerry and Nabila's kids, Eugene, Max, Coco, Yumiko, Kelly, Magna, Dianne (more of a background character, but she's been around a long time). I hope I'm not forgetting anyone.

It was great to see Rick and Michonne at the end. I will be watching their spin-off, as well as Daryl's (Daryl Dixon) and Maggie and Negan's (Dead City).

 

I loved that as we were listening to Rick and Michonne reading the letters they were writing that we got to see all those who survived and those we lost along the way. That part had me crying, too. So many characters we loved and miss (and some we don't lol) - Glenn, Beth, Lori, Shane, Dale, Hershel, Tara, Enid, Jesus/Paul, Shiva the tiger, Henry, Noah, Sophia, Siddiq, Andrea, Carl, Merle, Tyreese, Sasha, Bob, Abraham, Deanna, Alden, Jessie, Amy, T-Dog, Jacqui, Jim, Morales, Milton, Lizzie, Mika, Denise. We also saw Morgan and Dwight, but they've been on Fear the Walking Dead for a few years now.

My favorite characters of the show are Daryl, Carol, Glenn, Connie, and Dog. But I also love Princess, Ezekiel, Jerry, Gabriel (in the last couple seasons), Aaron, Rosita, and Mercer. And the rest of our group I care about and I'm glad the ones who survived survived.

I will miss this show. I didn't realize how much I would miss it until we got to the last couple episodes. So sad that it's mostly over, but we've got a few spin-offs coming. We better see Rick and Michonne make it back home to their kids and friends. And we better see Daryl make it back to see Rick and Michonne and to get with Connie.

Mountain Day Trip

Friday, October 14th, Kelly and I went to the mountains. Normally, we go west to Winston, north to Virginia, and then get on the Blue Ridge Parkway and head south to Boone. This time we went straight to Boone (west on 421), hoping to able to get into Dan'l Boone Inn Restaurant earlier and easier and also hoping that we would get to Northwest Trading Post before they ran out of pumpkin bread. Neither worked out. :-/

 

I had hoped to get up at 6:00 and be on the road by 8:00, but I had trouble sleeping and didn't get up until a few minutes after 8:00 and left closer to 10:00. Not sure if it would've actually made a difference or not. Maybe it still would've been difficult to get into the restaurant (though we would've had more time to spare to wait in line) and maybe Northwest Trading Post didn't have pumpkin bread that day.

 

Anyway, when we got to Boone close to noon, we went to Shoppes on the Parkway in Blowing Rock to get cherry cordials from Kilwin's. If we'd had more time, I might have spent a little more time at the shops, but I was ready to get on the Parkway.

 

On the way back into Boone, we saw a bear on the side of the road. It wanted to cross, so I stopped to let it, but cars were coming so it turned back towards the trees. In all the years we've been going to the mountains we've never seen a bear. Well, except for the ones on Grandfather Mountain. The bear was one of the highlights of our trip.

Since Dan'l Boone Inn Restaurant had too long of a line and nowhere left to park, we got on the Parkway and headed north. It was a beautiful day - temperatures around 60° and hardly a cloud in the sky. I would've preferred if it were a little warmer, but the sun helped.

We would've taken our time a little more than we did if we had gotten an earlier start and/or if I'd slept better the night before. I was hoping to get home before it got dark (I tend to fall asleep at the wheel when it's dark) and thankfully we did.

A bridge is being replaced somewhere on the Parkway and so there was a detour, causing us to miss some overlooks. I didn't like that, but the back country was pretty.

Here are some of the pictures from our trip:

Mt. Jefferson.

 

Near the Mt. Jefferson overlook. The peak on the left, in the distance, that kind of lines up with the gate, is Grandfather Mountain.

Basin Cove overlook.

 

 

At Alligator Back overlook.

 

 

Alligator Back overlook.

 

 

Air Bellows overlook.

Stone Mountain overlook.

 

 

Other than a pack of nabs and water for me and peanut M & Ms and a peach Nehi for Kelly that we got at Northwest Trading Post, we didn't eat anything until we got home that evening. We had leftover lasagna.

New Truck, Redbud Gone, and a Lovely Saturday

Charlie bought a truck from work a couple months ago - a red F150. 2013, I think. They sold it to him for $1500 and he's making payments. We're not Ford people, so his plan is to fix it up, sell it, and use the money towards a different truck. I told him he could just remove the Ford emblems and replace the motor with a Chevy motor. lol 

For now, he's only driving the truck on the weekends. He drives it to work on Monday, keeps it there all week, drives a company truck during the week (they pay for gas), and then drives it home on Friday.

I'll post a picture in the next entry if I remember to take a picture of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Friday, September 30th, tropical storm Ian (or was it a tropical depression by then?) came through. We had a lot of large sticks in our yard, but the worst damage was the loss of our redbud tree. I had suspected it was diseased for a couple years because not all of the branches bloomed in the spring. When it blew over, the roots weren't connected to the tree. I wonder if we could've just pushed it over ourselves. :-/

 

 

 

 

It makes me kind of sad. I loved that tree. We plan on planting a new one in the spring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This past Saturday, Kelly and I went to the fall festival at Bur-Mil Park. It started off pretty chilly (mid to upper 50s), but warmed up a little into the 60s. There weren't a lot of activities, so we didn't stay long. We ate some funnel cake, walked around a bit, rode the hayride, and then left.

 

Bur-Mil isn't far from the Old Mill of Guilford (which, surprisingly, I had never been to even though I've lived in or near Greensboro for the better part of 31 years), so we went there next. I took some pictures and we browsed the shop. I couldn't decide on anything I really wanted, but I also didn't want to leave empty-handed, so Kelly got some pumpkin spice scented wax for her wax burner.

 

 

 

 

After leaving the mill, we went to Guilford Courthouse National Military Park and Tannenbaum Park, which we've been to a few times. We walked around a bit and I took some pictures, including a few of a hawk.

 

Statue of General Nathanael Greene at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park.

 

We then went to Chick-fil-A to eat and then to the church to vacuum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kelly and I are hoping to go to the mountains this Friday. Charlie will try to get the day off so he can go with us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Purchases since my last entry:

Banana Republic dress. Purchased from someone on eBay. (This is their photo.) I paid $33.57 after shipping and tax.

 

L.L. Bean dress. Purchased from someone on Poshmark. (This is their photo.) I paid $26.33 after shipping and tax.

 

 

Sonoma dress. Purchased from ThredUp. (This is their photo.) I paid $29.87 after shipping and tax.

 

 

 

Dream Pairs heels. Purchased from Amazon. (This is their photo.) I think I paid less than $40 after tax. I think shipping was free.

 

Keds. Purchased from DSW. (This is their photo.) I bought these at the store and paid close to $60 after taxes.

 

 

Blowfish Malibu shoes. Purchased from someone on Poshmark. (These are their photos.) I paid $24.55 after shipping and tax.

 

 

The reason for buying the Keds and Blowfish shoes is I needed shoes for when it's too cool for sandals, but not cool enough for boots. (Comfortable flats are almost impossible to find.) Plus, I can wear an insert for the plantar fasciitis in my left foot. I wore the Keds to the places Kelly and I went to this past Saturday. My foot still hurt, but not as bad. My right foot also usually hurts after awhile, but didn't hurt at all this past Saturday.

Family Reunion, A Death, Books, and Clothes

In my last entry, I wrote about Charlie being sick and a home covid test coming back positive. The test that was done at CVS came back positive the next day - Thursday, August 18th. By early the next week, he was feeling mostly better.

Kelly was sick on Saturday, August 20th - nausea, body aches, and a headache. Her symptoms were quite a bit milder the next day and she was better by that Monday.

 

Thankfully, I never felt sick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This past Saturday, September the 3rd, my dad's side of the family had a reunion at my cousin Christian's house in Wade, NC. (Out in the country, northeast of Fayetteville.) Of my immediate family, only my mom and I went. :-/ 

 

It was a mostly pleasant trip there and back, but as it's been for years (decades), the traffic gets bad as you get close to Spring Lake until you get on the other side of Fayetteville. (Going through Sanford used to be really bad too until they built/rerouted the highway around Sanford.) I always dread that part of the trip. It's just madness in those small cities - Spring Lake, Fort Bragg, Fayetteville. It seems like there are more people than there is road space for them to travel on. Not to mention all the young G.I.s from all over the country - mostly young males who are notorious for their bad driving. Though I imagine getting a traffic ticket may not sit well with their superiors.

 

Anyway, there was a big tent set up in my cousin's backyard with three big fans to keep us cool. It was a hot, humid day (which somehow always feels more miserable in the sandhills) and after awhile, I had to go inside the house. I was feeling lightheaded from being too hot. Something that's always been a problem for me, to the point of nearly passing out. I sat inside for a while and then went back outside and sat closer to a fan. That helped a lot. It was actually cooler in front of the fan than it was in the house. Probably because people were in and out and that probably made it harder for the house to get cool.

 

When it was time to eat, I got up to get my food, but nearly fell down because I was just too lightheaded from the heat. My mom went and got my food for me. They had fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, barbecue, collards, rolls, biscuits, sweet tea, pineapple upside down cake or pig pickin' cake (can't remember which), banana pudding, nilla wafer cake, and I don't remember what else. I only ate a chicken breast and two rolls.

 

It was nice seeing my family. I think the last time I saw them was at my uncle Mike's funeral in September 2016. I wish more could've been at the reunion. I think around 40 were there. 

 

Those who were there included my dad's siblings: Aunt Kathy, Uncle Daniel (lives in Florida), Aunt Robin (she was married to Uncle Mike), and Uncle Marty. And Uncle Marty's wife, Aunt Stella. 

 

My cousins: Shannon and her husband Scott; Michael W. and his girlfriend (don't remember her name); Jessica, her husband Scott, and their kids Elijah, Sarah, Daniellah, and Rebeccah; Christian, his wife Kim, and their daughter Emma; Michael L. and his wife (don't remember her name), and his daughter from his first marriage, Madi. My cousin Christine came by briefly, but then left to get her kids - Magen, Matthew, and Nathaniel. My mom and I left before she came back.

There were also some of my paternal grandma's family there - originally from Massachusetts, but I think they live in NC now.

I wish Charlie, Sean, Kelly, and Ashley had come with us. Charlie thought he was going to have to work, but the crane they were waiting on got stuck at the state border. (Don't know which state.) My kids just didn't want to go. My brother Del also didn't want to go.

Before my mom and I left, they took a family picture. We stood in the hot sun and I joked that the next reunion should be in a cooler month like October. Well, I say "joked", but I was serious. lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I took the last of the naproxen a couple days ago. My ankle hasn't been hurting as bad and I'm hoping it's getting better. I hope it's completely better by the time the weather turns cool. That's when I really like to go walking at Hagan Stone Park and hiking in the mountains. I won't be able to do that if I'm in too much pain and that would be a real bummer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little old lady who used to go my church (before covid) passed away on Saturday. Her name was Mercedes and I sure did love her. Before covid, we would hug each other at church every Sunday. Sometimes I would go to her and sometimes she would come to me. I loved it when she would suddenly appear next to me when I was sitting in my seat. I'd look up and she'd have that sweet smile on her face. She would open her arms for a hug and I would stand up and hug her. Every time we hugged, I would tell her, "I love you", and she would say, "I love you too." She didn't know much English (she was from a country in South America), but she would do her best to say, "I love you too".

I looked forward to the day when covid let up enough for her to come back to church so I could see her and hug her again every Sunday. It hurts my heart that we never got to do that again. Her health went downhill and she was never able to come back. I recently posted about her on Facebook (in a post I shared for a fundraiser for her funeral and to cover other expenses for her husband) and I had tears streaming down my face as I wrote about her.

Sister Mercedes' family were all with her when she took her last breath. My heart hurts for her husband and the rest of her family. They're in my prayers and though I couldn't give much, I did give a little for the fundraiser.

The funeral is this Friday at the church.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I finished reading Turbulent by T.L. Payne on August 27th. It was okay. I gave it 2.5 stars out of 5 at GoodReads. It's the first book in a series. I won't be reading the rest of them.

I started reading House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland on the 27th and finished it on September 3rd. Probably the weirdest book I've ever read, but really hard to put down. I had to know what in the world was going on. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 at GoodReads.

I'm now reading Harvest (Surviving the Evacuation #6) by Frank Tayell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before sharing purchases I've made since my last entry, I wanted to write about how much I spend on clothes now compared to when my husband made more money. He used to be a crane mechanic, which meant traveling all over the country to repair cranes. He was usually gone for weeks or months at a time. One year he was gone for over 200 days.

When a position was offered to him in the summer of 2016 to be the manager at his job (located in a nearby city), he took it, but it meant a reduction in pay. He went from hourly pay (which often meant a lot of overtime) to a salary. He would be making about 12-13% less per year. I think he's gotten a raise or two since then, but not big raises.

I won't go into how much exactly I spent in his traveling days lol, but after doing the math, and checking with a calculator to be sure, I spend about 80% less now than I did then. He makes about 12% less, but I spend about 80% less. I looked at the average of what I spent then per week and the average of what I spend now per week. This didn't include going out to eat - which I used to do 2-3 times per week, but now only about once every few months.

So, yes, I like to shop. lol Usually making 2-4 purchases per week, depending on what the total of those purchases will be. (I try not to go over $50 total, but sometimes it's a little more.) But I don't spend anywhere close to how much I used to spend.

With that being said, here are my purchases since my last entry.

 

L.L. Bean shirt dress. Bought from someone on eBay. (This is their photo.) I paid $39.43 after shipping and tax. It was the only purchase I made the week I bought it.

 

M.S.S.P. (Max Studio) skirt. Bought from someone on Poshmark. (This is their photo.) I paid $38.07 after shipping and tax.

 

Next brand purse. An English brand. Bought from someone on eBay. (These are their photos.) I paid $29.62 after shipping and tax.

 

Dream Pairs brand heels. Purchased from Amazon. (This is their photo.) $39.99 before shipping and tax, but I think I was able to get free shipping.

 

St. John's Bay purse. Purchased from someone on Poshmark. (This is their photo.) I paid $29.53 after shipping and tax.

 

Cabi brand vest. Purchased from someone on eBay. (This is their photo.) I paid $23.47 after tax. Shipping was free.

 

 

With fall coming, I've had a thing for plaid lately. The shirt dress I bought was not only because it's plaid, but because it's a long sleeve shirt dress and thicker material than my spring/summer shirt dresses. Before buying it, I had no fall shirt dresses. I'm hoping to find a couple more.

The toile skirt is one I used to have and got rid of several years ago because it was a little snug, but mostly because I couldn't figure out what top or shoes to wear with it. I have shoes now that will go with it and I'm hoping I can find a top since it's easier to find what I'm looking for shopping the thrift sites.

 

The reason for buying the white heels is that with my feet and ankles giving me trouble, I need lower heels and this brand is comfortable on my feet. I have these shoes in black, nude, blush, and yellow, and may buy red ones next.

 

I found the bird purse looking for plaid wool purses and fell in love with it. So cute! And a good price.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I reckon that's it for now. This turned out to be a much longer entry than I thought it would be.
