Always playing catch-up!

Well its 2016. And I have not blogged ANYTHING! Oops. It's been a challenging last 1.5 years to say the least.
2015 wasn't my year and so far 2016 hasn't been much better. Mostly personal. Work is my escape go to. I actually don't mind being at work. Not that I love my job, but I don't mind being there. (sometimes) Because work isn't as bad as my personal life.
Life is juggling everything and keeping everything and everyone at a balance. And when one part is off balance, something somewhere else is always better. So my personal life is down, so that makes my work life, more enjoyable than my personal life. Like a see-saw. Personal life down, work life up. And then there's everything else in-between. Family and friends and my Social life are all in-between everything else. Making sure I stay in touch with my family. Making sure I hang out with and be a good friend to small amount of friends I have. Maintaining.

My work life is going fine. I'm mostly just maintaining what I'm doing. Sept 17 2016 will mark 4 years for me at my current job. That's the longest I've made it any job. I worked at Kohl's for around 3 years. That's my 2nd longest job I've kept.
I enjoy my job and what I do. I do my job and I do it well. My job is never the same. There's always a challenge, and its different every week. It helps that I'm not doing the same thing over and over. My job position that I'm currently in, isn't something I originally wanted to be in. But I excelled at it, and have done a good job. Don't get me wrong, there are days when I want to pull all my hair and scream at the top of my lungs. That's when I go eat something or go shopping for things I don't need.

All relationship are difficult. Family, Friends, marriage. And so far, I have realized that I am not good at any of them. My family puts up with me  because they are my family and they don't have a choice. Friends, you can pick and choose who you want your friends to be. Who you want to see the most or who you'd rather not see as much. Marriage is a little of both worlds. You make someone your friend you enjoy the most and they are your family. Marry your best Friend (they said). But I don't always get along with my best friends. I don't always get along with my Husband, I don't always get along with my family.

With that being said, life is not easy. Life is not a box of chocolates. Friends come and go, some stick around longer than others, family will always be your family and marriage is freakin' hard.

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’...
