Well That Was Unexpected

Hello, my lovely friends! 

 

     I've been in a bit of a wrestling match with a cold for the past few days, but I think I'm finally pinning it down! Yesterday was a bit of a blur thanks to the cold medicine (you know how that goes for me!), so I spent a good chunk of the day in a cozy, sleepy haze. I was trying to play detective and figure out how this sneaky little cold snuck in, and then BAM! It hit me. The dentist trip we had on Monday. While Mom was getting her pearly whites taken care of, there was someone in the waiting room putting on a truly impressive (and slightly terrifying!) coughing concert. I bet that's where this unwelcome guest decided to set up shop!

 

     On Thursday I could feel something trying to creep in and decide to run to the store and get some things for a weekend of fighting a cold. I’m going to rest today as well, we’ve been watching all the Biblical movies this past week. Tonight we’re going to watch “Ben Hur”, my mom even has Mike watching it with us. 

    Oh my goodness, the weather here in Denver has been keeping us on our toes! It feels like Mother Nature can't quite decide what season it is. Just last weekend, we were bundled up with snow, and then BAM! Yesterday, we were basking in a record-breaking 86-degree heatwave! And guess what? There's a chance of snow again on Monday. Talk about a rollercoaster! That's just springtime in the Rockies for you – always full of surprises! We did manage to sneak in a few glorious days of open windows and fresh air though, which was absolutely wonderful.

 

    Tomorrow marks the eighth anniversary of losing my dad. It's hard to believe it's been that long – it honestly feels like just yesterday. You know how it is, you can't help but think about all the moments and milestones he's missed. My mom's been feeling it extra hard lately, and I'm sure the approaching date has a lot to do with that.

 

    I was talking to a friend recently who lost his mom back in October, and he asked that big question: does it ever get easier? It's such a tricky thing to answer, isn't it? I told him it's a yes and no kind of thing. Some days you're okay, and then out of nowhere, it can just hit you, and you're right back in that moment. Sending love to everyone who understands this feeling.

 

     Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be feeling top-notch soon! We've got such an exciting week ahead with two plays and, get this, Wrestlemania! Hope your Sunday is a good one!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope your morning/afternoon/evening is extra cozy and delightful. Until our paths cross again!
