Praying for you my friend, you will find a job that is right for you!! I was a dental assistant for 12 years, tired of drama, just plain tired of the long hours. Tried another dental office wasn't a good fit for me. Took 3 months off while applying for jobs in the meantime, now working for Kroger in the bakery department & love it. May not be making what I was as a assistant, but am happy going to work. You will find something that is fullfilling for you. Keep up your spirits & pray about it, the Lord will provide. Love your journaling & of course you & Kody🙏🙏🥰🥰💐💐😊😊. Good luck at the chiropractor appointment...👍👍
My youngest sister Erica was nicknamed Dee. No idea why, we always found it funny. I have to walk every morning, as our rescue dog, Lulu, won't #2 in our unfenced yard so I take her 2 minutes up the road to a park or 5 minutes up the road to the County Picnic areas and walk between them. She can really move it, and I do my best to keep up with her😂. We see so many chipmunks! That connect the dots pic you showed and said you didn't see anything, I saw a sitting bear. My sleep has been sporadic, too.
Hang in there. I know it is so challenging when your mind just keeps going. I get so bad, sometimes, that I will eventually fall asleep, only to wake up and it starts in again. It's crazy how the mind works and how hard it is to quiet things down so you can sleep. I've got a lot going on right now and I have had the same problem. You know it's bad, when you finally fall asleep because you're so exhausted you can barely stand up. I hope just the right thing comes your way, jobwise. I can see the sadness in your face, when you talk about things you miss. Life can sure be hard sometimes. 🙏
Awww you hang in there too!! Some nights are harder than others, and you're right....i do miss things about my past, of course, i have a lot of good memories from Indiana. I do miss my other dog Baylee, i always will....i know my daughter will come down here eventually, and i get to visit her, but Baylee... I'll never see her again. 😔
We walk at a walking trail in a development across the street from mine. The crew that does the mowing, clears a wide area that goes to the water. Hope you can get them to mow a section for you!
Looks like you had a "Fine Summer Evening". (Soak those up in reserve for times when everything seems like chaos!) What you need for evenings is a good, juicy book, with lots of plot twists. Luckily, you can even get those online, (but it's so fun to go digging for them in thrift stores or yard sales!)
Since Kody can"t get in the creek now, have you thought about getting him a small kiddie pool to put in your back yard. My son has one for his lab. Oh and be careful of snakes kiddo! I like your journal. If you like peanut butter, try a Tbsp with a small glass of milk and 1 mg of melatonin. If you take too many mgs it will do the opposite and cause insomnia. Hope you have a restful night. Prayers for you.
The funny thing about it is, i has a little pool for him at home in Indiana, and he didn't care for it lol. He loves the creek though... and any body of water. That was a few years ago so maybe he'd like one now, idk!! He's silly. 🥰😊
I really enjoy your vlogs. It is nice to see you do the nigiht one's as well. You are blessed. Kody looks great. Can hardly wait to see the next vlog. Hugs my friend.
I love black licorice too! The cabin is cute! I’m trying to figure out what to live in once I get money from my soon to be ex! I have watched ITH but I didn’t like their pricing. I have land in Alabama. On SSDI.
I sent Kody a couple of surprises from your Amazon list and they arrived at your PO Box TODAY! (Saturday) :) I also ordered one of the journals for myself! I am excited that it will be here tomorrow.
Yes!!! I was doing deliveries in Newport today and stopped by the po Box, i was so surprised!!! How could they come so fast!!! Made my day. I'm putting them aside until his birthday though, and if anyone else sent him anything, then he can just have them on his birthday, when i do his Lil birthday video!!! Thank you so much!!! 🥰😊🤗
@@italian_grl Melissa, you are more than welcome and I am excited that you are saving them for Kody's birthday party. I am your neighbor here in North Carolina so I guess that is why they came so fast! I am glad that I made your day!! It made me smile to pick out the items and send them on their way to Kody. I can't wait to see the birthday video! Hugs, Beth
Yes, maybe that's why it arrived so soon, i was really surprised!! I'm excited to do his birthday video too! ❤ thank you again! Kody keeps sniffing around the bag i put it in, he knows something is in there...😂
I’m an empath too! I will take a picture of each page and answer … my memory is gone! Lol Love ya both … you & Kody … he’s so handsome! Going to be 5 !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, the only ice cream shop in Newport! Never been. Ice cream doesn't always get along with my stomach, plus, i don't like to spend extra money on that right now. But I've heard it's good!
By the way, I know you like Dutch Bros coffee and from what their website says, they are hiring in Morristown. Up to $15 an hr, states Part-time. Tomorrow is National Donut Day and they are offering a Jelly Donut Shake, don't know if it's free or discounted. Just an FYI in case you get up that way after your chiropractor appt. Treat yourself, if you can, it's Friday! 🥰
I chose the Favorites page, so here are my favorites from your list - Red, Vanilla, Hot, Day, Coffee, Mom, Pencil, Pants, Tomorrow (always hoping it will be better than yesterday), Boys, Mustard, Dogs (I like cats too though). We have very similar favs! As for getting to sleep, I have a clock/sound machine that helps sometimes. I like listening to the crash of waves, that helps me fall asleep. It has about 5 or 6 different ones, but I like the waves the best. Maybe an expensive sound machine or even an app on your phone? You can set the timer so it won't run all night. Either one of those might help. Glad you had a decent day today. Have a good visit at the chiropractor. I'm envious of your 75 degrees, it will be in the mid-80s here at the beach tomorrow and the weekend, humidity will drop a little Saturday, but it will be back in the 70s by Monday. I've always said, I don't mind the heat, it's the humidity that kills me! Ugh! Thanks for sharing another journal evening with us. Just keep remembering you're not alone, we are all with you in spirit each day. Have a great night! 🌛
Thank you for doing your list too!! It's fun! And yes , I'm so glad i have you and others here to keep me company, especially at night when it gets hard for me! I do actually, well i did, have a sound machine i used every night, and loved it. I think i left it in Indiana. Smh. I have an app on my phone, nature sounds, that i use every night. I love it!!! I hope you enjoy the rest of your night, my friend. 😊🤗
That’s good that you meeting people and walking! I been trying to walk more … my problem is I have a bad knee …. I do not want surgery … bionic knee … no! So it limits me but I have a two bedroom apartment … in a nice area … and I just walk one room to another 1 to 2 to 3 times a day! I went to doctor today and lost 4 lbs! I was shocked! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes … my Bestie in Missouri (been friends since she was 14 and I was 15) says her daughter says … Motions is Lotion! 😂 That’s what I say as I move … Motion is Lotion to your joints! I stay up at night reading … to get sleepy … sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t … sometimes I go to bed when the Birdies wake up! Lol This mostly happened after I lost my husband … I would go in my living room to read … then I’d hear them talking to each other … so funny! I’d say well you’re up … I’m going to bed and shut my bedroom door 🚪 so I wouldn’t hear them! 😂 Anyway … I saw you had posted and always try to catch you when your first post comes out … sometimes I am late! Good night! Or Good Morning when you get this! Blessings!
Can you take Kody to the park where you took him before? I think you took him to the state park. The river was low and it had rocks where he could walk out into the water.
The one's inside? I found them at dollar general a few months ago, i love they had pink and purple!! Pretty cheap as well. I'm good at finding good, cheap things lol
I love big fluffy dogs ! And yep 2 of my dogs were over weight as well and we would hear it from the vet ! We ended up switching vets, and because we feed our dogs real food , the new vet told me exactly what to do, and you won't starve the dogs ! By a big bag of frozen beans. Take out some of the carbs I put in their food . I fed him about half what I normally feed them, and then at the bottom was frozen green beans about a good handful . Both my dogs lost a little over 10 pounds in a month and they love love frozen green beans . In the summer I put frozen broccoli and frozen carrots in . I used whole carrots and cut them in half before freezing the carrots. I give those as treats ! They also get the vitamins they need and it's fun for them to chew on ! Just something to think about ! He is such a good pup and I loved cuddling with my lab who had hair like yours ! They think he had spaniel in him !
That's a good idea, thank you! And yes, we all do the best we can for our dogs. I feed him less than what the bag says lol mainly to save on the money cause his food is a little more expensive. It's the exercise thing for us. The bugs, ticks are so bad! I mean, i don't even want to go out!!! And the heat and humidity. We went out much more in winter!
Well this is so wild! As I was watching this video I was wondering how old Kody is and boom! You started talking about it. It’s had to maintain their weight. Mine too! 🤣 I have a Jack Russell, Chihuahua mix he’s 14 yrs old. Born into our family and a Shepard mix who will be 3 yrs old in July. These two fur babies have become my best friends since my husband passed away in January. I think Kody looks good. You both need each other for sure. I sent you a friend request on Facebook awhile back. If you want to accept it I would appreciate it. Love your videos. Praying for you and Kody to find a permanent place for your tiny. Keep the faith kiddo! I feel good things are coming you way. 😊❤️
Aww I'm so sorry about your husband. And yes, animals are the greatest, aren't they? They are friends, companions, and they help u through the hardest times. I didn't see your friend request on fb, but then again, i don't go on there very often, but i will check!!!
That’s great you are talk little walks with Kody. It adds up!! I just read for me I should start out 15 minutes one way and walk back. If you do this 5 days a week it’s 2.5 miles, 10 miles a month.
I feed my Lab Gracie Chicken Soup For The Soul Beef. I believe she has a chicken intolerance and was getting dry skin which she scratched a lot! They have a weight control kibble that i rotated one bag in and then rotated out and she did well with it. After her spay she gained a few and lost her curve. She is doing good at 67 #s. I think Cody looks great! He is a big breeed
Yes, and all the dogs I've had, never gave been skinny lol. But, they have lived to usually 12. Which is the average age range for bigger breed dogs like labs and Goldens.
You know it's kind of funny if they're too skinny somebody complains that you're not taking care of them right if they're too big in somebody's opinion you're not taking care of them right he's healthy and he's happy and he's loved and you know what that's an indication that you're doing something right give Cody a hug for me
Wow, Kody is turning 5 this year! Hugs to sweet Kody. I hope everything works out for you & your family. Take care. 💐 👍
Thank you! And yes, i can't believe Kody will be 5!

Lola's is so peaceful. I love it out there. I enjoyed being there"with you and Kody" for your walk. Love those summer sounds. ❤
I like it too, just so far out!

I second this we have always had kiddie pools for our Weimmies and now for our Doxies. They can drink or play in it.
I really enjoy your vlogs. It is nice to see you do the nigiht one's as well. You are blessed. Kody looks great. Can hardly wait to see the next vlog. Hugs my friend.
Aww, thank you so much for that!! You made my night. I'm glad you enjoy my videos. 🥰🤗Enjoy the rest of your night!

Ok, do that!! I love to see how people answer the journal questions! 😊🥰
They have a new ice cream shop in Newport. Tenants at ITH are raving about it! It has a big ice cream cone sign hanging outside.
Yes, the only ice cream shop in Newport! Never been. Ice cream doesn't always get along with my stomach, plus, i don't like to spend extra money on that right now. But I've heard it's good!
Looks like they would mow by the creek! I would definitely ask.

Hey,Amber walked out on her job at ITH!! Last week!!!
Thank you for sharing ❤
You should date your pages so when you look back you know when you wrote it.
June 19th, my youngest son's birthday, along with my deceased dad, who also shared the same birthday ❤
Thank you for sharing your journal.
🥰😊
Can you take Kody to the park where you took him before? I think you took him to the state park. The river was low and it had rocks where he could walk out into the water.
Yes, but like many places, it's quite far and not close by.
Love your string lights. Where did you buy them at?

Reading a book at my bedtime makes me sleepy.
How do you go into the Amazon link for you and Kody? I didn’t know they had that!!
The link is actually in my bio here. Should be towards the bottom of the page, u should be able to click it and it'll take u to the wishlist. 😊
I just figured out a few weeks ago how to even share the clickable link. Lol
@@italian_grl thank you! I have to charge my phone and then I’ll check it out! I want to get Kody a birthday present 💝
Charge my phone not check my phone!!!
I love black licorice too! 😊 that looks like a very cool journal. Who is the author again?
