Wordless Wednesday

I'm starting to feel a bit better and taking each day as it comes.

Here's a little glimpse of what I've been up to!

 Hangin' out with my love in his truck.

 Gifts from my sister! Part of a coupon haul she did.

I got a haircut! It's been way too long and I love it!

I also just joined up with Bloglovin' and I hope you will follow me!

Tough Day

Yesterday was a tough day. For the past couple days I've been having horrible back pain. Everything is uncomfortable.

The last time this happened I ended up in the emergency room. I've been taking lots of meds and ice to help but nothing is working very well. :(

I've been cuddling with Rocky and trying to sleep this off. I'm so physically drained right now. Hoping for some relief today. Can't wait to get better and leave this all behind me.

Have you ever had a painful injury? What helped you get through it?

Rocky got a new toy. :)

Busy Weekend

First, I'd like to thank those that left such sweet words on my last post. I'm not fully recovered but I'm working on getting better every day. :)

Well I had a pretty busy weekend! For the first time in a long time I had things going on for me both Saturday and Sunday! It was refreshing to know that I could handle it. One day at a time.

Saturday was a sad day. My husband's best friend had to lay his dog Samson to rest. I'd never been to a pet funeral or new that they even had them but understood that this dog was part of our family and I had to be there to support our friend. It was a very emotional morning with lots of tears. I came home and hugged Rocky just a little tighter that night.

After the funeral we went out to eat at one of my favorite places, Brent's Deli. It's a pretty popular local place and is always packed! They serve pickles at every table and most of the waitresses are middle aged Jewish women with raspy voices. I love it! Ha ha.

I ordered my usual. Matzo Ball Soup and Mini Latkes (potato pancakes). It's the half Jewish girl in me that grew up with this food and take advantage of any moment to indulge in it! We ate and reminisced about all the great times we had with Samson and toasted our meal to him. We're definitely dog people, friends!

 This was my yummy meal! 

We headed back home after lunch and spent time with our little man. He ran around with my husband for a while and I snapped some pictures of his sweet face.

Just hanging out in Wan's truck. I think I might frame this! :)

Finally it was time to settle in for the night with a good 'ol fashion hockey game! I always get so excited on game days. I love my LA Kings and after a 5 game winning streak I was so looking forward to another win. Sadly, that didn't happen. We lost and I was sad. Just need to brush that one off and look forward to tonight's game! :)

Sunday was a very low key day. I made plans with one of my dearest friends Dani and we had a great time. It's been months since I've seen this girl but we caught up like we saw each other yesterday! She's been one of my closest friends since middle school. 17 years! I love that we're still close. :)

After brunch we snapped this as we were saying our goodbye's. 

Hopefully we'll get together again soon!

So there's my weekend! It had it's highs and lows and I'm just so happy I got out of the house!

I hope you all had a great weekend! :)

Patience is a Virtue

When I got injured back in 2011 I had no idea it would take so long to get treated. Here I am almost a year and a half later and things are finally moving forward.

It's taken many sleepless nights and countless tears to realize that patience is what I need to mentally get through this.

Yesterday I had a regular follow up with my doctor and got the news that after many attempts to get approved, I'm finally getting a procedure done that will help manage my pain better. It's like a bandaid. Not a complete fix but it should help some.

Today was the day of my procedure. I got put under and have been swollen, sore and loopy all day. No complaints here though! I can't wait to see the results in the next couple days. Hoping to get some relief.

I'll be sure to continue to track my progress here and appreciate all my readers for your support. It means a lot.

My accessory for the day. :)

Lazy Days

Happy Sunday friends!

My husband and I are spending the day with my Dad. He likes to see us about once a week and make us breakfast. I'm a Daddy's girl and love to spend time with him. He lights up everytime he sees Rocky and that makes me so happy.

We picked up some Starbucks and I got my Chai Soy Latte fix for the month. Love that stuff!

 

 

Rocky and I went outside and got some Vitamin D. It is such a beautiful day here in California. I love this place sometimes! ;)

 

 

 

I hope you are having a great weekend! :)



Friday's Letters

 

Dear February, you are half way done and I am so thankful for everything that has happened in this month so far. I got great news from my doctor, celebrated a lovely belated anniversary with my man and still have more to do before the month is done!

 

Sushi anniversary date with my wonderful husband. Yum!

 

Dear Rocky, thank you for being the best dog I could have ever asked for. I love you so much and love our time together. You are always there for me and know when to give me kisses when I'm upset.

 

 

Dear Wan, I love you so much. You are always there for me and provide me with strength when I feel too weak. You are the best husband I could have ever asked for and I am truly blessed to have you by my side. These next few months will be hard on us both but I know we'll get through it like we always have these last 8 years. <3

 

 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
