Yesterday was not an easy day for me, internet/social media-wise. It was painful and a bit humiliating. I made some mistakes and I regret those, but I am moving onward. I won’t go into any further details on here both for my own sake and anyone else involved. There’s no need to go through it.
With that in mind, today is a normal post day for me here. A post of the week.
Last week as we were leaving our house, we saw this weird light in the sky. Turns out we weren’t alone
The Navy, of course, claimed it was missile testing. We personally think it was aliens beaming up humans for experiments.
Bless him, he always tries. These ended up in my lunch last week
No, I didn’t eat them.
Friday of last week was a scary day for us weather-wise. Sinkholes, people being submerged in their cars, flooded freeways, collapsing roads, power lines landing on people. Not good. I left my building at work at 3:30 and had to seriously struggle to stay upright. The wind was hurricane strength. I white-knuckled it the whole way home but we made it, thankfully.
Today is President’s Day. I don’t have it off but he does and it was rainy and drizzly this morning. He drove me to work. Pretty nice. Our garage door is old and made of wood and when it rains it gets too heavy to open so pretty much my car was trapped in there all weekend anyway. I can’t wait for the sun.
I didn’t have a good night’s sleep because I was super wheezy all day yesterday and especially at night. I’ve been relying far too much on my inhaler lately and that’s concerning me because really asthma medicine is bad for you. There was a recent study out of Canada that said asthma is misdiagnosed a lot. Well, since I was diagnosed by a pulmonary specialist and have had breathing tests and treatments for years I am going to have to believe I wasn’t misdiagnosed. I was once tested that my lung capacity was at 40%. It’s better now obviously.
And I think that’s plenty for my ramblings this Monday.

I was very happy to see this post ๐
Big hugs about yesterday!
ALIENS! I do believe!
Milo packed you carrots and celery? I like them as a snack. I take it you donโt LOL Celery and peanut butter is good.
Glad you made it through the weather. Looked really rough and scary.
Cute that he drove you to work.
Sorry about your nights sleep. Has the bronchitis eased up? I hate using my inhaler. Iโve never had in my childhood really any breathing problems. My mom smoked a lot around me so I did get a lot of chest infections, bronchitis but I played sports with no difficulty. I probably donโt have the best lung capacity but I shy away from being labeled asthmatic.

Years ago there was a model/actress that died of asthma. I think as I recall it was related to an over the counter asthma inhaler that I think they’ve since removed from the market. I used to use it myself once in a while before I got prescriptions. I also once had a daily inhaler called Symbicourt but I was always nervous about the numerous side effects so I didn’t really take it or encourage my doctor to continue with it. Smoking is evil (sorry Kris but you know that). I’m certain second hand smoke caused mine. It does sound like you might have at least a mild form of it.
I think I was getting better but I don’t know with this damp weather I seem to have taken a step back with it.
Yes! It was totally aliens. Stupid Navy! HA
I don’t really like many vegetables, I confess

Indeed smoking is evil. At least my mom has moved to those e-cigs that only let off vapor. Still aren’t good though. Yeah, I probably do have a mild form…no shortness of breath but I get the coughs. I am always weary about side effects with anything.
Eat your veggies, Ivan. They are healthy and some are good

I’m glad to see that post today :).
Totally aliens. I’d totally prefer that over missile testing.
Is that celery in the bag? I wouldn’t eat that either. The carrots on the other side, yep. I love carrots in any shape and form. Veggies are good for you ;). And that barely there picture of your mouse pad just inspired me to check to get myself a new one. I have one of a musician I like(d) made by a friend (it’s picture she’s taken of him) and people always ask me if that’s my hubby…nope, he’s not and I wouldn’t want him to be. Sorry, getting off topic here.
Your weather sounds ‘exciting’. Not. I could trade you for snow if you’re interested ;). Although it’s been thawing this weekend, so we might actually have sort of spring in March. That would be a first.
I hope you get more sleep soon :).

Snow can always be kept far away from me. I don’t think it’s particularly pretty either like so many others do. Meh. LOL.
Well, see, the Navy mentioned that the missiles were moving across the sky and yet those of us that saw the light were like um no, it wasn’t moving, it was stationary. So yeah…hmm….
I don’t like carrots or celery
I actually got the mouse pad some time right after Into Darkness. I ordered it as a custom one from Amazon from a shop that did mouse pads. This one turned out good. But later I tried ordering another one and it turned out so dark you couldn’t see the image. Very disappointed.

Well, I do think snow can be pretty combined with blue sky and the right temperature. But I can see something positive in every season, so…
Lol, the Navy needs to come up with better cover stories.
So you provided the picture yourself, that kind of shop? Yeah, I’ve made different experiences with those as well.

Well that’s not quite true. I do, sometimes, think snow is pretty. I have a snow covered castle as the background picture on my work computer right now. I basically mean it’s not pretty enough for me to live near it, lol.
Not quite. The independent shop on Amazon offered “Star Trek Mouse pads” and I chose the one in the photo I posted based on what they were offering. The second one I chose was also a photo they offered, I think from the 2009 movie, and it came out so dark it was indistinguishable. I may still have it in my closet! If I do, I’ll post a pic of it here so you can all see what I mean ๐

Heh. It’s like he doesn’t even know you, with the veggies. Silly.
I’m super glad you made it home safely on Friday. I was worried. That’s some scary stuff! (I’ve been lucky this winter around here.)
Also? Absolutely, definitely aliens. No doubt.
Glad to see you here honey. ๐

Good to see you, even if its just your desk and mouse pad. I think we have all made mistakes regarding social media, I know I have. We got our own share of bad bad weather last night, I felt like Dorthy with wind howling during the tornado warnings. Over here kids go through tornado drills beginning in Prek and Kindergarten.
I was not a veggie eater growing up, it wasn’t until I met Lee that he started getting me to eat them (that and being pregnant I wanted to eat healthier). Now I incorporate vegetables in pastas, casseroles, etc. I have to admit that carrot sticks and celery sticks aren’t very appetizing alone, I would not have been interested in that lunch either.
Yes I believe there is other life out there and that there are those who do not want us to believe.
Hope you feel better. My Mama bear instinct wishes I could live nearby and bring you a homemade meal. Today, I made three cheese lasagna with fresh baked buttered garlic rolls that melt in your mouth.
Get better… that’s an order Mister.

I love making sun dried tomatoes. Yesterday I made mini flower Quiches with Tomato. Yum!
I’ll admit I was not a cook in my youth or college years. I started learning to cook once I became a Mom. Hubby’s friends all love my cooking and when they pick a place to eat at it is normally our house. I love cooking but baking is my favorite, especially for the holidays.
I like gardening too. In my early 20s I worked at both Builder’s Square and Walmart to support myself in college. I ended up taking courses to become a Master Gardener. Now I don’t have the time to re certify but I still garden at home. Last year we grew banana peppers, yellow peppers as well as cabbage and carrots. This May the boys and I are planting pie pumpkin seeds so we can have some Pumpkins for the Fall.
Sorry I tend to ramble on things I like… (blushing now)
