The Bunch Have Weather Whiplash

 

He is such a  sweet big baby❤️

This past week was wonderful! The mornings were slightly chilly and the afternoons were picture perfect. So of course we have to have a cold front come through that drops the the afternoon highs by about 40 degrees! It is rainy, cold, and miserable now. I have switched back and forth so much from heater to a/c  I am surprised my system hasn't freaked out! Unfortunately, Axl is still a big baby so we haven't had a lot of sleep. We have been needing to give Axl his anxiety meds, which helps, but he still pants and paces ALL night long. While that is annoying, it is actually an improvement from when he first arrived. I just can't understand why he is so upset every time there's any moisture in the air. It's really sad to watch a 100 lbs dog literally shaking because he's so scared. I really hope as he gets use to his new home that he continues to be less scared of EVERYTHING.

It was a pretty long week since D was gone 12 hours every single day. He has Sunday off to relax and then starting Monday he is back to more training. The amount of training they are required to do every year is insane. If you ever hear anyone say that police need MORE training, they are someone who has no idea what they are talking about. While he's been busy T has been helping me get some things done that we've needed to do. We probably would be getting more done if Axl wasn't making us so tired!!😂

A takes her test this week to be a fully certified Vet Tech in the State of Texas! She has been studying so hard for this. I know she is ready to be done and we're ready for her to be done and to get to celebrate this milestone with her. 

I feel really bad he gets so scared.

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...
