Lost in Lubbock


I made it Lubbock in one piece!! The plane was tiny and I almost had a panic attack. I was on a 50 seater plane, the smallest kind of plane I've ever been on! It was only a 50 min trip, but I was still very nervous! I almost had wished I had just driven my car. But 5 hrs vs. 50 mins...hands down Im going with the 50 min plane trip. I just dont like that I dont have control of my life. The landing was pretty smooth. I held my breathe the entire time we were taking off and landing. I dont know how I'm going to survive a 6 hour flight though. I barely made it to Lubbock. I have two more flights before I take my big trip, at least Im getting some practice in! I called my mom the minute I landed and told her that I didnt "wake up dead!" ;-)

Today my sister has to work 3-midnight. So Im left to fend for myself. She left me her car so I can run around lubbock on my own. ;-) There is so much dust out here, I hear its normal though. Yuck. I do have some errands to run so I will be keeping myself occupied. Alex left this morning. Wish me and my sister had left this morning. But she has a big event at her work that she couldnt get out of. And the whole reason for me coming over here is so I could drive  back with her. We are leaving bright and early Saturday morning. Im so excited to get home! Just not looking forward to the drive!

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...

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

2025

Another year has come and gone, and here I am—mid-January already. Christmas was spent with family, as always. The holidays tend to be chaotic, rushing back and forth across town to visit everyone. 2024 was truly a memorable year for me! So many milestones to reflect on: I turned 40. I participated in two amateur horse shows. I earned my motorcycle endorsement. (I conquered the Twisted Sisters route on my motorcycle!) My brother bought a new house (so proud of him—just waiting for a new sister-in-law now!). I celebrated my 10-year wedding anniversary.  And I hit my 2-year mark with my company. It’s been a year of highs and some lows, but I think the highs outweighed the lows—or maybe I just blocked the lows out entirely (I do have a knack for that, haha!). While my memory isn’t quite where I wish it was, I’ve been making an effort to shake things up and challenge myself with new activities. It feels good to break out of the routine and keep my mind sharp. I’ve started gaming recent...
