Hard Lesson Learned On Day 5 Of The New Year


 Oh what a day! Definitely had it's share of adventures and lessons learned the hard way.  I will give the short version of what went on today. Got up at 4:45 to get ready to pick my dad up at 5:30 to take him to Little Rock to UAMS to have some skin cancer on his head removed. We didn't know it at the time this was going to happen, we just thought we would see the Dr and he would tell us what was going on and what they would do to treat it. Then make an appointment to come back. First we look for the right place for 30 minutes, this place is huge! Then we go in and they tell us they are doing the procedure today. They cut/burn a hole in the back of my dad's head. We wait 30 minutes for them to test it and it comes back they got it all. Praise the Lord! Now here's where things get interesting, we head home, stop in Bryant to eat at waffle House. We then proceed to do some errands and I drop Dad off at around noonish. I go over to a side job that I had and I start my work. My client(who I respect and think highly of) calls and asked me to do a favor and that is to get some equipment ready for a guy that's going to come and pick it up. So the time comes and said guy comes to get the equipment. He starts to load the equipment on his trailer and seems to be in a hurry. When he got ready to leave I had to remind him about the money he was to pay. He hands me the money as he gets in his truck and drives off. I count the money and I see that I'm short of money. I call my client and tell them. Seeing I took a picture of the guys license plate and my client had his name and where he worked he tried to get a hold of the guy but the guy refused to answer. So his job was called and was told what was going on. Needless to say after some back and forth the guy came back and paid what was owed. Lesson learned always get the money first and count it and then give them the product. After all that excitement I left to go run some more errands and in the meantime I'm past my people point and on the verge of anxiety. I get home and I'm thankful the day is over with. It's late so I get ready for bed and here we are with me writing this. I'm so glad and thankful everything worked out for the good. Praying the rest of the week is much less exciting but I guess we shall see...on that note I'm off to sleep. Good night and sweet dreams y'all 😴

How appropriate my 48th post on my 48th birthday

Image
So today is my 48th birthday and my one goal was to have 50 blogs written and posted. It looks like I didn't achieve that goal as this is my 48th blog. I thought how appropriate to be writing my 48th on my 48th. Maybe I did reach my goal, if I can get two more posts in before midnight technically that would still count, right? Anyways you ask how does it feel to be almost a half a century year old? I don't feel any different and I really don't look any different other then maybe more tired. My day has one of many things and emotions. I have gotten text, FB messages, FB post to my wall and phone calls. Some of them are from people who I knew would wish me happy birthday but there are a few that really surprised me. I'm still holding on to the hope that a couple of people I thought would send me a birthday wish will still do it. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it but to say I'm not hurt would be a lie. Either way I can clearly see who I matter to and I...

Goodbye September, Hello October

Image
 How is it possible that today day is the last day of September? I will go to sleep and wake up to the first day of October. I can say I'm ready for the fall and colder months. Which is crazy to think 3 more of them and it's going to be a whole new year! Time needs to slow down or maybe it's me that needs to? I love this time of year as the evening's are cooler and I can sit out on the porch or lay in my hammock and enjoy the evening. The sounds of nature all around and seeing the beauty of God's creations. Plus it's Fall Festivals, Arts and Crafts shows, evening drives with the windows down, football on tv, I mean really there is lots to do in the fall. There is a few things I would like to do different or maybe have during this time of year but I have to have faith that God will eventually see to it. As I have gotten older and been through many hard situations I don't take this time lightly. I try and enjoy every day and moment I can. My heart does get sad...

4th of July 2025

Image
 One of my favorite holidays has come and gone for another year. Things were a little different this year as my peeps that I go with to watch the fireworks didn't come due to having almost 6 month old twins at home. So I helped the church give out hot dogs and then my child and one of her friends spent time at the beach. Later we went and sat up on the damn and watched the fireworks. This was the end of a tradition but the start of a new one. Next year it will be home in our pool with close friends. Cooking out and doing our own fireworks show. Hope everyone have a good day and God Bless America 🙏  #Happy 4th of July
