How quickly a half century has gone by. I struggled a lot when I turned 35. Even more when I turned 40. Turning 50 has taken an emotional toll. As of right now I don’t feel 50 is the new 20…yet. So much has happened over the last 50 years, that I’m definitely not goingContinue reading “April 10, 2025”

Tomorrow will be Friday the 13th. I always think of my dad on Friday the 13th. He always loved Friday the 13th.. He turned 13 on Friday the 13th. We are still preparing the house and front yard.

SoContinue reading “Cancun 2024 – August 17, 2024”

I was told and alsoContinue reading “Cancun 2024 – August 16th, 2024”

If the last 4 weeks have taught me anything, it is this. A few weeks ago, I was having severe pain in my upper abdomen. I just ignored it for a week  finally I started to get concerned and went to an instacare. They told me to take Mirolax and if I didn’t feel betterContinue reading “Do Not Ignore The Pain & Trust Your Gut (No Pun Intended)!”

Unfortunately I had to visit the instacare and the ER this weekend. Instacare $50 copay and about an hour. ER $TBD and 4 to 5 hours & a CT scan. Over the last few days, I have been having severe pain in my upper abdomen. I knew it was either constipation,  gas bubble, or someContinue reading “Instacare VS Emergency Room Memorial Weekend 2024”
