'Tis the season

Wednesday, December 9, 2015

Almost Christmas!

First I thank you for visiting me still cuz I know posting has been so sporadic. ok now onto the post.
Christmas is quickly coming up and we are pulling out decorations, most for the first time since we moved to a bigger place.  in the other place I didn't really decorate for Thanksgiving but this year, lots got the chance to be displayed, here are just some :)
.
even tho it is the time to give it STILL hasn't been easy for us...more so for me, healthwise. not only do they want to operate on my knees to 'fix' my torn meniscuses AND I have so much pain from an old injury and think I'll need surgery to reduce the pains. it's been crazy with drs.
the van we were blessed with is now giving us trouble with not wanting to start AND our Coco still needs that bladder surgery. been over a month and not one dollar added toward helping us with the cost. so sad to think no one cares enough to donate to stop the dangers of blockage and aid in getting the surgery quicker since the vet wont take payments, which is absurd when talking about a $1500.00 possible bill and no less than $1200. hurts me thinking about him having so many stones, when hubby just went thru bladder stone removal about a year ago and I remember how he complained of the pains.

other that all that, im happy with how well we are still settling in here. still hear some bombing practice which is just unbelievable but somehow im able to tolerate it a bit better than when it shook the house & windows. im still crafting and even made a card for one of my drs that moved to Oregon lol. well I hope to get back before Christmas but in case I don't, I wish you all a safe and wonderful holiday season and if you just feel like sharing this link, I will appreciate it xo

our little CocoBean

we noticed, recently that our little boy goes outside to go potty but not much happens so he went to see the vet yesterday and after paying over $150.00, an ultrasound & xray later we found out he has a lot  of bladder stones and about three in his urethra. some are too big to pass so he needs surgery that will cost about a grand. :((( we did start a gofundme account and hope that we reach people hearts to help us in this situation. it's not like we can wait tooo long to have this done cuz anyone who has had them knows how uncomfortable it is to feel like you have to pee allllll the time. I am so saddened that we cannot just have it done & take care of it right away but it is what it is, we are poor.
it is very possible if waiting too long and he gets a blockage, he will die. so we are trying anything we can to pull the money together. any offers to help will be so totally appreciated, too.

getting settled in

well, we've been here, in our new place, for about 3 months now & settling in nicely! it feels like 'home' to us all. even the cats have found their favorite spot. lol
Boo loves to lay in the window too cuz he likes the breeze on his belly. lol silly boy.
things are setting up nicely too... I always had so many nice things that can now be in view & enjoyed.

just to show a very few for now :)

in the new house

still lots to do but we're in! soo nice to have rooms, like I said before we had 3 before, one was the main room, one a  closed in porch & small room by the front door was just so tiny, wasn't like having 3 rooms at all lol
we are exhausted tho cuz our son still has to work, while we do the wok. ugh! we had help with a couple of guys for one day but that was just for the big stuff....I don't know why we didn't utilize them more, except for the fact that we knew this was a big favor to us cuz they had sooo much to do for themselves & we didn't want to hold them up.
I will probably be pushing our ebay account more in the near future cuz I have so much clothes that I've never even worn or will never where & im sure there will be other stuff sold too even baseball cards from hubby, so something for everyone! :))
just wanted to keep ya posted and appreciate your visits. xo
back soon.

been quite awhile

well here we are heading towards another Memorial day! this one will be a bigger deal for us since we are FINALLY moving! getting less acres but a lot more of the land is free of all the brush that needs to be cleared away from the home during the fire season...so that's MUCH easier on us! yay! AND a garage, small walled in back patio area & I can hardly wait to start moving in, already.
this new place isn't just a homestead cabin either, it's actually a house with rooms lol. been soo long since we actually had rooms! our cabin is basically three rooms plus bathroom and after more than 10 years here is enough. gonna be lots to pack after being here so long, it's amazing how much one accumulates in time... mostly crafting stuff lol
it's also been a hard past three years healthwise, first me, then hubby, which im sure was mostly caused by stresses.
hard to believe how I've neglected this blog but so much of nothing was going on for the past few years, it was hardly worth TRYING to keep it interesting.
I have been getting back into scrapping designs, kept up with dollhouse minis and even some crocheting, so I've been keeping myself busy.
was in the hospital quite a few times last year with something they still cant figure out but heck when you hear a doctor say, 'a level 4 pain is easy to live with' I know it's time to find someone else to work with me.
nothing has been easy, for far too long and so much happened that I don't even understand how it came to be but I can only keep my faith & go on another day, right? :)
hope you all haven't forgotten me yet, cuz I haven't gone away for good and even hope to blog a little more again. I will also be sharing things for you scrappers to use commercially, personally, anything but pornographically. lol
have a great weekend!
