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!!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

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

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
