Happy Monday!!!
Here we are, sitting at another Monday. Things are the same here, pretty much. We have a new worker. Case worker. She is very familiar. I’m not sure if I know her from the clinic (I don’t think so) or from The Store (probably).
Anywho, I just caught her peaking around the corner at me. Oh, really? We are being creepy? Oh, you have no idea just how creepy I can be.

My voice is horrible today! Sounds like I have been chain smoking and drink rot gut for the past 20 years. I actually had a lady ask if I had a cold. I just answered yes cause it’s so much easier than explaining how this is just a side effect of a stroke. Like a have a big ball of phlegm stuck in my throat.
I see an ENT at the end of April. They think I have a paralyzed vocal cord. If so, they might be able to “fix” it. I hope so. I feel like Ursula cast a spell on me but it was only at half power. Har.
Ugh, I have PT today. At least in wearing leggings, I guess.
I think I’m going to have to switch to decaf coffee. I shake too much in the morning. Dana says to eat while I drink coffee. Maybe that would help. I love coffee but maybe I try tea in the morning. Shit, night too. That could help me sleep. I have a brand new box of sleepytime. I always feel like a traitor when I drink hot tea. Haha! That’s just me though.
Weekend was good. Got a few more things off my list. Still didn’t even touch my closet.
I’m just going to keep that list till I’m done. Pretty proud of what I did accomplish. I did get my kitchen clean. Like scrubbed down clean. It looks amazing in there.
I hate people thinking I’m a grossly, nasty person. I’m really not, I just haven’t had the energy.
Alright, I’m going to start closing everything.

The List (started 3-19-26)
- Clean out the car. It’s so bad! I still have stuff from last Christmas in there. The Christmas I went to Dana. Not to mention the cow bones that have been there for a year. ✅ (3-21)
-Take the car to get washed and vacuumed. (Moved to next week) ➡️
-Clean out the bedroom closet. For real.
-If I do the closet I will be in dire need of doing laundry. So, laundry. ⭐️ did bedding and regular laundry. (3-22)
-Clean off the table and make it an actual dining room table again. Right now it’s a place for crockpots, air fryer, etc.
-Get the living room done.
-If I do the above, sweep and mop the floors. Maybe just do that anyway.
-Clean the bathroom. It’s not horrible, just cluttered and is in good need of a scrub.
-Sweep the entryway.
-Regular tidying of the rest of the house.⭐️ deep cleaned kitchen (3-22)
-Make a little headway on my cross stitch.
-Shave my legs. It’s getting warm here and I need to de-fur.✅ it wasn’t as bad as I had feared. (3-22)
-Dye my hair. I don’t know, still on the fence with that one. Dana likes it natural but there is so much gray, thanks to two strokes.
-Bathe River. She’s getting smelly. Not like corn chips but more of outside.
