Farmer’s Almanac

Here’s what the winter report is saying from the Farmer’s Almanac.

Dining Looking More Like A Grocery Store

We put up two shelving units this weekend and they are getting pretty well stocked. Unfortunately they are in our dining room. It’s the only place we had to put them. We are stocking up on staples and paper products just incase our governor gets a crazy hair and shuts things down again. We’ve also been stocking up on meat as well. Gotta do what you gotta do when you don’t know how things will go this fall/winter. Wanna make sure we have plenty to get us through, if need be, to the spring/summer months. Plus we’ve been couponing more and buying up stuff on sale too😁. 

Last Weeks 1st Week of School

T had a great start to the school year last week. He got all his work done in a timely manner and got A’s on everything. He’s still continuing with that trend and even got an early start on Sunday evening to his school week this week. So proud of this kid getting after it this school year. 

National Dog Day 2021 was yesterday:

Just wanted to post this even though it’s a day late. We love our Tucker Boy. He sure loves his toy duckie😁. 

Learning to Golf

T will be learning to golf this fall with our homeschool group. It’s one of his elective courses this school year. His dad got him a driving net. Didn’t realize how huge it would be…LOL! I had him pose for a picture tonight so I could share it with you. 

T’s Lump in His Arm

T has a lump in his arm that happened at the hospital that has been causing him lots of pain. Not sure if you will really be able to make it out from this picture. 

The doctor told us it’s:

Thrombophlebitis

A condition in which a blood clot in a vein causes inflammation and pain.

Thrombophlebitis usually occurs in surface-layer veins located in areas with poor blood flow. In rare cases, the clot could indicate risk for a more serious condition called deep venous thrombosis.

Common

More than 200,000 US cases per year

Treatable by a medical professional

Requires a medical diagnosis

Lab tests or imaging often required

Short-term: resolves within days to weeks

Treatment consists of self care

Treatment may include elevating the affected site, cold or warm compresses, and anti-inflammatory medications to ease pain. In rare cases, antibiotics may be needed.

It has gotten more noticeable and some bigger. It’s a very painful condition. We will be making a call back to the doctor about it because he’s in so much pain and see if anything more can be done to help resolve it quicker. Don’t know if they’ll be able to do much though. They told me it has to work itself out but I just hate that he’s in so much pain😢. I’ll keep you posted as I know more and can share more if there is anything to share. 

1st Day of 7th Grade

1st Day of 7th Grade Homeschool Pic. T actually got a jump start on his schoolwork last night but today is his official first day of school. This summer was the first time we’ve done an actual summer break instead of doing year round schooling. He enjoyed the break so much that he wants to stay on top of his schoolwork this year so he can continue to have summer breaks from now on. We are easing back in though because that’s what the docs have asked us to do after his hospitalization due to the seizure situation from his sodium deficiency.  We feel he’s pretty much back to normal but don’t wanna take any chances so we obey what the docs have said to do.

Yo-Yo Amazing🤩

T did a regular video then slo-mo video of a yo-yo 🪀 move he’s learned. 

Cary High Marching Band

It was the end of Marching Band Camp for my Nephew, Tristan, tonight at Cary High and they had a small show for the families of the students.  It was great. At the end the seniors took shaving cream and you’ll see in the videos how they ended camp…LOL! Wish I had remembered to bring my good camera but the cell pics/video will have to do.

Happy Birthday Popsie!

Since we can’t be with you today to celebrate with you we made you this video. Happy Birthday 🎉🎈🎂🎊!!!
