Long time no see...

 Its been a while since I last posted. I found out last year in October that I had colon cancer. I started chemo in December last year. Things are going okay for the most part.

Happy Easter

 Wow, has it been a while since I last wrote anything on here. So much has happened. First of all Happy Easter. 

I didn't do much today other than go to church and do some work. I will be making some new stationery designs here soon also. Since the last time I wrote on here, my mom passed away in October 2022.

Then not even 2 months later in December 2022 I had to make the had choice to put Little Guy to sleep. I made a promise that I would never let him suffer.

Needless to say I was happy 2022 ended. 2023 was okay, but at the same time hard. My bestie Susie did come back again for another Vegas trip in August 2023. That is when I got my New baby Luna. She has brought so much joy to my life again. 

Things are going good now for the most part. 

Happy Friday

 

 

Hello, its been a while since I made a post. Right now, my mom is in the hospital again. They say she has pneumonia. I'm hoping she gets better soon. Since she is in the hospital, Mark and I brought Little Guy my cat to our house. He has been extremely clingy and always wanting me to hold him. I'm trying not to give in, but when you see his eyes, its very hard not to give in. He misses my mom, but I believe he is happy that he is here with us, and not left alone in her apartment. 

Other than that, in December I started school. I am going to school for Medical coding and billing. I am in my 4th term now. Time is going by really fast. I have one more term before my 6 week externship. I hope I get hired at my externship site. 

Hope you have a blessed weekend.

1 October

 First of all its hard to believe its October already. 2021 is almost over. Today is World Postcard Day.

I sent out like 9 postcards for Postcrossing.com, and some for a couple groups I am in. I didn't get any postcards today though. Oh well. I sent out probably 10-12 postcards today

Now on a serious note. Today is the 4th anniversary of the mass shooting that happened here in Las Vegas. If my department manager didn't change my schedule at the time, and schedule me to work, I would have been at that concert that night. So, make sure you never take one moment forgranted. Hug your loved ones tight, because you never know what tomorrow will hold. Always remember #VegasSrong

5 Years ago today

 September 23, 2016 was a hard day for my mom and I and the rest of my family. It was the day we had my dad's funeral and said our last goodbyes. I still miss him and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think and hope that I am making him proud. I took over helping my mom with things that she needs help with. She is independent, but at the same time still needs help with things my dad helped her with. That day, we celebrated him. He was a Broncos fan, so we honored him by wearing our Broncos gear instead of the traditional funeral black attire. I miss you dad.

Happy Thursday

 

Its been a while since I last made an update. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy in these crazy times we are still going through. Since my last update, we moved from an apartment to a house my boyfriend bought. I am very much happy living in a house, and having a space for my stuff. (I have too much)

Since we have lived here in our house, I do still penpal, but I also got more into creating resin art, or crafts, or whatever you want to call it. 

I want to try to sell some stuff, but its going to take time to go that far. I have still been doing youtube videos as well.

I am going to end this here. I will try to update more often.

La Papierre Stationery order 1

Middle of the week

Well, made it to the middle of the week already. I have 2 more days off then I will be going back to work. I went to my moms to take care of some stuff over there for her. I cooked her some lunch while I was there. I think she enjoyed that. I don't do that very often. I want her to be a little more independent, but at the same time, she is my mom, so why not. 

I also went to the post office again today. Didn't write very much yesterday. I mailed out 2 letters both to the USA.

Since I have been home this afternoon/evening I have already finished 1 letter. Hoping to get more 10. I only have 10 more in my pile. I will be so happy yet so sad when I am caught up. 

Oh, even though I make my own stationery, I ordered more stationery. When I get the order, I will do another youtube video.

Back again

Its Tuesday. Only 3 more days after today till I go back to work. I went over to my moms again yesterday. May go over to her today for a few minutes. I like having days where I do nothing and go no where too. Yesterday I mailed out 4 more letters. I have more to take today. Feels really nice to be able to write.

Sent 3 out to the USA and 1 out to Ireland. I hope my international ones are actually going out. They may be just sitting up at the main post office. They will reach the destination at some point.

Long time no see

Well, I haven't been around for a while. Life got in the way. Working and taking care of my mom. Its still busy but with the stupid corona virus, I took 2 weeks off. Its been really productive. I have been able to write some letters. This is only the 6th and I have done pretty well lately.

These were mailed out on the 3rd and 4th. I have another stack to take to the post office today. Yesterday I went over to see my mom. She is doing ALOT better now.

Last month she was in the hospital with Pneumonia again. Finally over her cough for the most part. So happy she is doing good. Well, that is it for my LONG over due update.

7 11 day

Today Mark and I made sure to go to our local 7-11 to get our free small slurpee. We both had coke mixed with cherry. So yummy. We don't get a slurpee very often now days. It sucks getting older.

Monday mail

I got my June Secret Sister package. Can't wait to find out who it was. I love everything that was sent. Whoever it was/is knows what I like

New Stamps

These new Sesame Street stamps were a must. I grew up watching sesame street as a kid. It will never get old to me.

Happy Sunday

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. I won't be doing much today as I do have to work. Its not that bad though. I actually am glad that I am working. It keeps me busy, and allows me to do the things I enjoy to do.

Before I go to work, I will write a couple letters. I really enjoy writing to my pen pals. Alot of them are really good friends to me. Its sad when I lose my mojo for writing. I have it back right now, so I am going to write.

Saturday mail day

It's been a while

I am getting into making resin Keychains. The first ones I did didn't turn out too bad. I have more in the process right now.

Busy month for letters

Well, this month I have been able to write a lot of letters. I hope all the replies don't come in at the same time. Lol.

Writing

Hello my friends and followers. I am taking some time on my day off today to write some letters. Right now my paper of choice is one that my penpal brought me when she visited from Ireland. It's sold by Paper Chase. We don't have them here in the USA.
