The night ended with three police cars outside the house. Thankfully, not our house. Our neighbor across the street had a great deal of attention directed towards her house. We walked Charlie & Daisy outside and tried to figure out what was happening. The man under the umbrella and his crew did not know what had happened. My husband headed over there a while ago to drink a beer with them and get the scoop. I’m sure I will write more on that later.
I’m now reading “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin. I had heard of this book before but happiness and I have never had much in common. However, I came across this book at Goodwill the other day and felt intrigued to try it. Turns out, it is an inspirational read. This may be a book that I read twice, just to take notes on how to enhance my life. “The Happiness Project” is written well and each chapter represents a different month. It’s a true story about Gretchen’s journey to create more happiness in her life. Had these pages been centered around just thinking positive, I can assure you that I would donate it back quickly. However, she incorporates a variety of strategies into her every day life that actually make sense. Example: Getting more rest, Decluttering, Focusing On Her Marriage, etc. Needless to say, I think I will get some tips from this book.
Yesterday, Jeremy brought inside a yellow rose and put it in my hair. He then proceeded to try to take a picture of me with his phone camera. Two things happened. 1. I almost went blind from his 10 second flash. 2. I looked drunk and stoned as hell (which I was not). I love my husband but his pictures of me are usually the opposite of flattering. After he got done with my photo shoot, I took my camera and snapped this above picture. I’m not saying it is great by any means. But if you compared it to the ones he took, it is quite good.
I can’t close without mentioning that they found Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow. I’ve been following the disappearance & search for them for a long time. It broke my heart when I learned that their bodies were discovered in graves in Chad Daybell’s back yard. I’ve held out hope that their mom hid them with the Amish community or something. What is wrong with people? Every day more lives are lost, Covid victims rise, rallies destroy, etc. People keep saying that they are living in a time that will go down in history. I’m not sure that this is something to be proud of, considering how we are going down.
My skin decided today that it is allergic to the sun. I’ve always thought my skin was oily. Yet, my arms look alligatorish. That is not even a word but it is appropriate for this moment. I’m going to go lather up with cream. This morning my husband and I had some toast with butter & strawberry jelly in the backyard. There was a nice breeze so we sat outside with the dogs. I’m sure my skin got the sun exposure from breakfast. I like this neighborhood more though than our last one. Minus the whole 3 cop cars across the street thing.
