40/52

Well let me tell you.... Week 40 was not exactly a banner week. It started out bad and ended not the greatest.


 Last Sunday when I got up for church I could tell I was getting sick. As the day went on it was clear I wasn't getting sick, I was already there. Monday I got up and slowwwwwwly got ready, i was determined to teach even if I had to breathe out of my mouth. Well, After taking a shower and putting on the bare minimum of makeup. I was sitting on the couch forcing myself to eat (should have been a sign right there) and I dozed off while eating! What am I, 90? No, just really miserable. I finally reluctantly cancelled all my lessons and laid down on the couch. I was miserable. Just miserable. I really have no words about Monday and Tuesday other than misery, coughing, sneezing, BLECH. My cold moved into a Sinus Infection and Bronchitis  in the blink of an eye. Which was not surprising with my sinuses.
 Wednesday I was back at work, and wearing alll the clothes to combat the fever I still had. Was it quite the weather to wear a sweater? Perhaps not. Was I comfy? yes, yes I was!
 I even had to put on socks, and my sneakers. Which for my sock hating self tells you how cold I was!

Thursday was more of the same, teaching, sneezing, freezing, but I got thru the day and was very VERY happy to make it to my Friday off.
 I rested Friday and Saturday and was still coughing Sunday but feeling a lot better than I had. It was 70 when I woke up but was rainy and the temp was supposed to drop so I busted out my cowboy boots for the first time in our weird fall. I was really glad that I did! By the time I walked out of church it was a very windy and cold 52 degrees. I kind of wished I had a coat/jacket not going to lie.
 These shall be known as the last pictures to take on my beloved Windows Smartphone.

Sunday mornings I like to listen to worship music on my drive to church. It gets me in the mindset and prepares me for worship. I have some favorite songs and recently made a youtube playlist with them, so I could listen to them on the way to church. I got in my truck, turned on Your Love Changes Everything and all was fine for about a minute and a half. And then I noticed my song was getting much quieter. And quieter..and then... then I heard a sound..... 
It was the sound of death.

I had put my phone in my cup holder spot (HA, first time I typed this I put "Cop Holder"hahhahaha) and had put it upside down so the speaker side was up. I had placed it along side an empty, or rather what I thought was an empty Coke can.

Can you see where this is heading??

I'm still not quite sure how it happened. When I looked down the can was upright, but somehow it spilled out enough coca cola to have my phone half submerged in it. 

NO BUENO.

I was driving through this whole ordeal, so I grabbed it out and tried to wipe it off at red lights and wiped it down when i got to church and left the battery and everything out to dry.

It did not work.

You wouldn't think frying your phone would be quite so stressful but I'm here to tell you it is!! I had errands to run after church and had put my list ON MY PHONE. Yup, left Aldi's without at least one of the items.

I had to go home and email all of my students not to text or call me (many do on a daily basis about different issues). It's Monday and not all of them got that memo. HA! 

Anyways, after much searching online and confirming over email with my Mom. A new phone has been ordered and is headed my way. Except not so much the headed MY way. No, it for some reason is headed to my parents house. Which is super helpful. I'm hoping by the end of the week I will have a working phone.

Living in the 1990's is killing me.

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
