20/52


Last week I kind of fell apart in the picture taking category. I don't know what I did on Monday, other than teach, because there are no pictures of it! I did take pictures of under my hood to send to my Dad, for him to show me where to hook up my a/c. And it was already hooked up! So that was a win!
 I do Mturk on the side, and last week, and the week before I had daily special surveys for two different research people. One of them was taking a picture inside my truck at the end of the day with a special letter and the date. Don't ask me what they are researching, but they paid me 1.00 for each day!! :)

Tuesday was time for me to visit my friends in the Alzheimer's Wing at Mulberry! I always look forward to my visits, playing for the residents and chatting with them! Last time one of them wanted me to play "Harder" Songs :), so I delivered and she was happy! My arms were sore after that hour concert though!! I also learned the hard way that their piano was, I think maybe flat.... Because every song with sharps in the key signature sounded like I was hitting ever.single.note.wrong. which is also great when it's a 5 page song.  It kept throwing me off, thinking I was hitting the wrong keys, so I would correct and then HIT the wrong keys! Thankfully i finally figured it out and only played the key of C and Flat Key Signature songs after that!
 It was also blazingly hot inside. Which I knew it would be, since it's usually warm, and it was the warmest day of the year. I was SOOOOO thankful that I had thought to bring a small fan with me. Playing the Piano for an hour is a workout anyway, even more so in the heat. I still needed a shower when I got home, but at least I didn't keel over from the heat!
 Wednesday, still hot.

Thursday, apparently I took zero pictures. So no clue what happened that day other than my normal large workload.



 Friday dawned early.... Rainy and COLD! I got ready quickly and then ran over to Mary Lou's for sustenance, and boy did we need it!! We both ate a donut on the way home and I swear it was the best donut of my life!!



 Can you see the pile of stuff behind me? I brought a laundry basket for me and one for Mom so we could keep our things separate, and mine was filled to the brim! It's pouring rain at this point, and yes I have sunglasses clipped to my shirt because once in awhile it would be sunny-ish. But it was mostly wet cold miserable rain.
 Case In point. Finally when we were on the 3'rd street and my pants were soaked, I said, Let's just go home. We stopped at one more sale, and it didn't have much, so we happily headed home and had a donut. And then OF COURSE by the time we get back to my house it was SUNNY outside. 
 Soaked to the brim and headed home. Also I WISH that was my purse but it's my Moms. #IHeartMintGreen
 We were almost to my house and my Mom spied a yard sale sign, so we decided to stop at one more. We got lost in the complex, (eventually found the sale, I got two purses and the best candle EVER)  and stumbled across these JD lovers. So Mom made me be a creeper and take pictures.


 Most of my Loot!! I made out like a bandit!!!! 17 shirts/cardigans, three purses, 9 scarves, 3 pillows, 10? Clothes items for Addie, along with a Cabbage Patch Doll I'm gifting her. An adorable coffee mug, a nice insulated water mug. 2 bracelets, 1 necklace, several books for the waiting room, a blanket, a fan for beside my bed, some holiday decorations (Fall and Christmas) and I'm sure I'm forgetting some other things! It was worth being soaked to the bone.

I ended the weekend worrying about my parents. We had severe weather on Saturday, I think it was. And tornadoes, and of course it was right over where they live. thankfully they were ok and no tornadoes touched down nearby! It was quite the week!!

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...
