Mascot has got to be the Angels- and colors are white and gold.š¤āØ

Stressful Morning
blogI woke up and was burning up, and not because of a fever this time. I walk out to the thermostat (that we clearly need to upgrade) and it did itās fun thing where the batteries on it just stopped, so instead of regulating the heat, it just let it go up to 81 degrees! Canāt wait to see our next gas bill LOL.
I also had to call the vet to schedule one of our cats, because he is doing this dry heaving thing without throwing up which isnāt normal for him. Of course, heās our problem child who has to be medicated before even going to the vet because he howls and screams like a wild animal and scares all the other animals. They canāt get him in until Monday so I am just going to try to forget about it until then. Itās honestly not fun drugging and dragging him to the vet- itās actually pretty traumatizing for everyone with how he acts.
My other cat was throwing up this morning, but I knew it was because she got into something based on the puke. Sure enough she chewed through my husbandās bag of SunChips he left on the desk. She is obsessed with plastic and has had her fair share of expensive visits to the vet as well, so weāre just keeping an eye on her. Sheās acting normal for now and honestly she likely will continue to based on past behavior- at this point I am sure she has a plastic coated stomach that is used to it.
So yeah, Iāve been awake for a whole 30 minutes and I am feeling very stressed out, but all I can do is wait for the vet (also praying they call with a cancellation for today), buy a new thermostat, and breathe.

blogYou get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. Whatās it like?
Iām picturing a sun room/library/plant vibe going on. I want at one wall that is filled with books from floor to ceiling. I want big open windows, maybe even a glass door that goes out onto a patio with a cute hammock swing and a garden. I wand shelving on another wall for some indoor plants and cute decor. Iād have a comfy love seat thatās a light pink or maybe a beige color – I picture it being kinda shaggy like. I also need a cute coffee table and overhead lighting. I also want a standing desk for my writing!

blogWhat is your all time favorite automobile?
This is definitely a prompt for my husband, because I donāt know shxt about cars. He loves them though- hence our ā92 miata chilling in the garage waiting to be worked on LOL. I know his dream is some sort of Ferrari; of course I have no clue which model, but I remember we saw one parked up near our favorite breakfast spot and my husband was so excited to see it.
As for me, I like dreaming big too, and I love the looks of the Mercedes G-Wagon. I realize thereās so many models and what not and also I realize I will never have this car unless I am literally rich af, but ooooooof Iād love driving around in one of those. I love the desert sand color or the kalahari gold.
Day After Christmas
blogI love that I just logged into Walmart to do a grocery pickup order and just saw how literally they have huge discounts and deals right now. Of course they doā¦ itās after Christmas! Iām noting this for my future- maybe some gifts are gonna be accidentally left at the north pole and come late LOL.
But anyways hereās another day in bed trying to sweat out this flu. Literally woke up in the pool of sweat- my pajamas felt like I just pulled them out of a pool. This is great, because Iām sweating out my illness, but also it makes me feel disgusting and I need to wash myself and the bedding.
Iām supposed to go back to work tomorrow, and Iām thinking I should be able to. I may tell people to just stay away from me (should be easy, Iām in the back away from people and patients), and Iāll keep a mask by if people get too close. Although the flu is hopefully gone, it feels like I may have some sort of bronchitis happening now. My husband still has a lingering cough as well, but per Google we can feel tired and have a cough for weeks after the flu! Love that for us! LOL
Overall I am glad we are in the positions we are in with work considering we already had some planned days off with the holidays. Iām glad we can still afford our bills and do grocery pickups and get what we need. I feel very blessed to have this life with my husband, and I am happy he is feeling up to working today and heās able to do so from home!
Sending love and healing energy to all- I pray the rest of 2024 is full of peace, positivity, and love. š¤

blogHow are you creative?
Iām creative when I am writing poetry. Iām not someone who can draw well, and I havenāt really tried painting or any other artistic style. Writing is always my go-to.
Merry Christmas
blogChristmas doesnāt look too different for us this year, other than we are recovering from the flu. I definitely still have it considering I still have a low-grade fever this morning- and I would not wish this illness on anyone. My husband and I have been miserable with battling inconsistent temperatures, congestion, cough, sore throat, body aches (more like zaps for me), and overall we are just exhausted.
His symptoms started a week ago today and he still is not 100%. My symptoms started on Monday so I am only technically on day three and it feels like itās been a week already. We are blessed to be off work, be at home together, and have access to healthcare/medicine. Our Christmases are normally pretty chill, so in that regard, itās not much different at all.
Sending healing, abundant vibes to everyone this holiday. May we remember what is truly important in this lifetime and give lots of gratitude for these blessings (hint: itās not the material gifts).
Biggest Influences
blogWho are the biggest influences in your life?
Iād say Amy Noonan (Qveen Herby) is a big influence in my life. I absolutely love how she basically has created her own genre of music (affirmation, witchy rap) and the messages she spreads through her lyrics. Some of my favorite lyrics from her are:
āI never fail at nothing, I only learn.ā
āGot no enemies is sight of me; every adversary came here to enlighten me.ā
āCynicism would be easy, but I never took the easy road. Bitch, when I let the old patterns die, thatās when I found happiness arrives.ā
Overall sheās just an inspiring woman who reminds us to come home to ourselves and be confident in who we are. Sheās 38 and doing shows with fancy costumes and props that she designs herself, and she does not give a f*ck what others think of her, because she is living her purpose.
Iām so glad I was able to see her live this year right before my birthday!
Sick, but Blessed Holiday
blogWriting this from my bed, because my husband has influenza A and this morning I woke up with a sore throat, body aches, and my post nasal drip trying to choke me out. Iām so very blessed to have good bosses and be in the situation weāre in. The fact that we were able to get my husband seen and diagnosed in under two hours is a blessing, and Iām just glad weāre able to rest it off and take care of ourselves.
I know this is only a couple days before Christmas, but it honestly works for us because we donāt have any Christmas plans other than stay at home! Holidays are typically pretty uneventful for us, other than the white elephant gift exchange we do with my family every January. We know that once we have children the holiday seasons will be much busier, so for now we just enjoy the peace and quiet together.
Even though I donāt feel great, I do feel very gratefulš¤ Yeah, yeah, it was kinda lame, but I mean it!
Prompt
blogShare what you know about the year you were born.
According to my mother, it was the hottest summer in the state in decades and of course I was born at the tail end of July LOL. I also know Lion King must have recently come out, because Simba was my first stuffed animal (now that I looked that up, Lion King was 1994, I was born in 1995- not shocking it stayed popular for a while).
