i just keep getting older....

seriously? i dont know what happened today, but im sitting in my room, just thinking....not on the phone, or on my computer, just sitting in silence thinking about the past few month, past few weeks,  replaying today in my head, thinking about the future, just everything that my brain doesnt ever stop thinking about. im always thinking, always planning, always wondering, but just because im thinking doesnt mean that im actually processing.  but today i let it sink in,  it dawned on me, hit my like a ton of bricks falling from the sky....I'm going to be TWENTY SEVEN this year! OMG! Really? 27? I do not feel twenty seven. Like, I'm suppose to be a real adult. I should feel like an adult right? and thats what boggles my mind because I dont know what it feels like to feel like an adult. I see people that are only a year to couple years younger than me, they are married, have families, have houses, a dog, a cat and children! Im going to be 27 and I barely have any of that. i have dog, pretty sure im going to live with my parents till im 30+, and the only real thing of value that i own, is my iphone. i sleep, i eat, i sometimes go to class and i go to work. that is my life. like i want to someday have a house of my own, be a good wife to someone, cook well burnt meals, have children and hopefully raise them to NOT be anything like myself...one day. but then i think, one day? maricel, youre 27....one day is going to be ten years from now! and in ten years im going to be EVEN older! omg i dont even want to think about. but then again, im not old....but im not young either. see where im headed with this? in a circle full of confusion. eck! it makes me laugh because i remember thinking when i was 21, what would i be like when im 30? we'll its getting closer and ill soon find out.

today i got off work a few mins early and i just decided to leave. i didnt txt anyone, i didnt call anyone...my goal was to miss traffic and get home before 6p. well an hour and half later im home. walk my dog, enjoy the weather, give my puppy some attention and get a little exercise in before the night is over. plus, the minute i walk into my room, i know im not going to do anything else but sit down. im so exhausted today for some reason. being a woman really sucks sometimes. and yes im a typical woman who has that time of the month where i get cranky moody emotional and everything else in-between. in these times of hormonal confusion my mind is just all over the place.

I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...

My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...
