2020 update
Here we are.... almost thanksgiving, 2020. What a year.... huh? How has everyone been? I sure hope you all are staying safe and healthy!
We have been staying safe as much as we can. I do miss a lot of the togetherness life had. But we do have a circle of friends and family who we feel safe and trust. We still take our precautions of course.
Mike and I did go down to Florida for a trip down memory lane for mike. He took me to his hometown where he lived with his mom. We actually stayed at the gated golf and tennis resort he use to live in. So I got to see his prep school he went to, his old house. It was a great time. It wasn’t busy which was great. We did go to Clearwater beach for a day to see. We had a friend come from Disney come to visit us. We also drove past where his mom use to have a restaurant... which is gone except for her old sign. How crazy is that? The trip was a great time for us both... esp for him.
We also went to Gettysburg, for a Halloween event. Which was awesome. Ghost hunting and a worship. We got to get psychic readings done which was shockingly spot on. Before we even started, the main guy read mike.... he sensed Mike’s anxiety. Everything he said was jaw dropping. I couldn’t help it.... my mouth dropped open because it was true. After some time, we got into the readings. Mikes again was draw dropping. The lady brought up something we have been talking about... something I have had sitting on my ottoman. She brought up him wanting to have kids. Once again... my hair stood up.... she was spot on. She talked about how there is something stopping him from having kids. She didn’t know what it was. She was like you got to do it. You have to push by the barriers and have kids. She then looked at me and said, I saw you knew something when you looked at the card. She asked me what I thought. I, was like.... well....... we are married. I know.... I know.... thankfully everyone there didn’t care. But I was like, what you said is true. I have a folder of adoption sitting on my ottoman. Has been there for a month... now longer. But I was just shocked. How.... how would they see that? I’m a total full believer now of psychic mediums. I always thought I believed... but sometimes skeptical of some of them. I didn’t open up on why we have reservations and worries about having kids. Of course, having our own is super expensive... so that’s sadly out of the question. Adoption is also pretty expensive... esp right now. The one we found, is more reasonable... would have to try to get a loan for a not so bad amount actually, as they use a tax rebate thing that you get prior to adoption, that you have to use within I think two or three years for adoption, and then all you need to pay is the difference which is less then 10k. So to you all, or to most people, or a lot of people, that’s not a lot. To us, it is a lot right now. I’m furloughed still because of covid. So one one income right now. So that’s why we are fearful and stuck with not having kids. We are not getting younger and I worry that door will close after a few years. But I am still listening to the recording... still gets me chills. I at first didn’t know if she was actually accidentally reading me... I have cried many days over wanting kids of our own. When mike sent for information, about adoption, I was shocked and happy he felt the same. Was she reading us both... was our energy emitting the same thoughts?? I kinda think so. One day maybe...? I have to raise this money... we would both be great dads.
My reading was about my personality... how I am a positive person and a person who will do anything for anyone.... someone who will tell a friend or a person, hey, why not think about it this way, try it this way.... it isn’t so bad. Yadda yadda yadda. Funny think is, I am my worst critic... I beat myself up all the time. I do admit, I have deep down secret depression. I know I have. Just my own criticism of myself that makes me this way. If it wasn’t for my husband, I really don’t know if I would be that positive person on the outside for everyone.
So this year... my parents are well... dad is still in the nursing home of course. He is positive for covid currently. But no symptoms... still within the danger days but they feel he is going to be ok. My family is well for the most part. Mikes family is ok so far as well. I sure hope it stays that way.
Mike is doing well. He has a new job and loves it. Today we did go to his old job at Pitt with a friend and we visited our friends who work there. Such a great day.
We are sitting here watching Mom on tv. Our favorite program. Lots of laughs. LOL
Well, I hope you all are well and you all are staying safe and healthy.
Love you all!
