Hey hey! It's been a minute but I'm still ticking. Life has been a world-wind since my last post (not update). Let's see...it was 2022. Whew child...let me update.
Life has been life-ing. Wife and I had Covid last year. I was sure it was strep throat because my throat hurt so bad and that was really my only symptom. Made it 4 years Covid-free prior to that. It's been almost 18 months since our diagnosis and no recurrence or residual issues. Both of my parents as well as almost every one in the immediate family has had it...except for my youngest, which I find crazy because she's the traveler and never really stopped traveling. Oldest had it during her pregnancy but her symptoms were very mild. Of course, I was concerned because she's a cancer survivor.
Health-wise, I'm struggling but I'm still here and I'll get on track. I celebrate my 57th birthday in a few months.
This year marked 10 years at my job. Our building was remodeled and when we moved back, I was given an actual office. Bye bye cubicle life. Love that for me. Every one that comes into my office for the first time says the same thing: You like pink huh? LOL...I do.
The wife changed jobs a few years ago but celebrated 4 years at her job in July.
What else? Mom had a heart attack last December. They didn't think she would pull through so my little sister and I both hopped on planes to head to California. Of course, she shocked the doctors and is doing amazing. Sadly, my wife lost her mother in November of 2023 so this year was the second anniversary of her passing. We have her ashes in my wife's office. I thought it would be weird but it doesn't bother me. I actually speak to her when I go into my wife's office. If something weird happens in the house, I'll say: That was your mom. We both laugh.
My oldest and her baby have temporarily moved in with us. I'm so thankful that she had the option. You always hear stories of women living in their cars when they have no other place to go. It's been an adjustment having a toddler in the house but I'm loving every minute.
I know I mentioned in another post that my youngest is in school getting her PhD. The sponge is sponging. I used to call her my little sponge when she was younger because she loved to soak up information. She still does and it shows. I traveled to San Francisco in May to see her receive her Masters degree. Her PhD will take 5 years I think but I'm excited to see her graduate then as well.
Wife and I are doing well. We'll celebrate 4 years of marriage in February. With us helping the oldest, I'm not sure if we will travel anywhere but maybe we can get a quick trip in between our anniversary and my birthday.
Welp, it's 7:30. Time to get my morning treadmill walk in before the toddler wakes up and my day revolves around being Gigi.
Love ya'll!
