Happy Saturday! :) we shopped today :) made the most of the day :) Thank you angel friends :)

Happy Saturday! :) Thank you angel friends, we're keeping with the day and our routines best we can :) Dollar tree shopping adventure, popcorn movies party, and organizing our home :) We're very thankful to be making some progress, and the day got better. We really want to get into th spirit of the season ,but lots has been holding us back. We love the weekend's, and getting ready to welcome the new month of December soon :) we really needed to go out today. my mom, dad, Holly, and i enjoyed a fun time shopping at the dollar tree :) We love shopping there :) We bought some food, treats for Tiger, we also bought some cards, baking supplies for my mom's upcoming birthday, snacks, candy, and also browsed at the hotwheels, dvds, and seasonal decorations :) We're very happy and excited about the nice items we bought :) we look forward to going shopping again very soon :) Holly and i are having a fun, popcorn movies party today best we can:) just having some familar movies on, makes it feel normal as we continue to clean our downstairs apartment. We love this very special tradition of watching movies each week:) we've been enjoying some movies, and also having some foods, snacks, and drinks :) we got very hungry, all of the work we've been doing we worked up an appetite. We picked out a new movie to watch tonight :) Thank you angel friends, for your comforting support :) we're keeping strong, and hanging in there. some good drying progress made today, and looking forward to fully getting our home back in order :) Holly and bought some candle wax/melt at the dollar tree, and it's smelling much better here downstairs :) we're gonna watch football tomorrow, and continuing to get our home back in order, fresh and anew :) Thank you angel friends, for always being here for us, and for the very special joy you all bring us :) Enjoying the day best we can, with family, friends, shopping, movies, organizing, and getting fresh air. Tonight, the popcorn movies party is on!! :)



Things are looking up, and we're keeping on keeping on :) Hi angel friends! :) my family, Holly ,and i hope everyone is doing well, healthy, and enjoying a nice day :) Thank you for your wonderfully comforting support, care, and prayers :) We appreciate everything :) i shared your heart-felt uplifting comments with Holly. thank you all also, for your sweet comments on our baking friday journal :)We're very happy everyone enjoyed our baking friday adventure, and our pictures :) next week, we'll have a bigger adventure, welcoming the holiday's, and by then, things will hopefully be much more situated. my writings/focus, a and feelings are really all over the place right now, but am so glad to be writing <3 Things are improving, with some good hard work we're putting into getting our downstairs, and keeping surrounded by all of the comforting love, support, and care, from you all, our dear angel friends :) We're seeing some good improvements, and also taking some good steps to reassure, that we have some extra time to prepare our home ,just incase of a clog/flooding situation happens again. my dad and i put a large bin, on other side of our basement today, where the water leaked from the clog in the tub, so that if it happens again, that water would first go into that bin, so that it gives us a chance to pump it out of there before it goes over, onto the basement floor, which would eventually seep over here onto our side of the basement. i'm being positive as i can, and Holly is keeping positive too. we've definitely had enough of these water issues. Holly and i are running our de-humifier, and we also have our air purifier. we just feel like cleaning everything,we're gonna give it a good vacuuming down here soon.



it's the best that we can do right now ,and Holly and i talked with my mom and dad, about using the drain de-clogger liquid every once in a while, maybe even per month, so that the drains can keep clear, and also if my dad can maybe get my brother, or someone to help with the other pipe that isn't well, i will definitely continue to keep on top of checking that other bin, each time it needs to be pumped out, we'll take care of it. my parents seem to be coming around with things, and we used the carpet cleaner again this morning too, with vinegar, baking soda, and we got a nice candle wax melter on, and drying the hallway ,living room ,and bedroom too. We're determined to get our home back in good shape, the way we had it, it's just been very frustrating having to cope/deal with these re-ocurring water issues. We're hopeful it won't ever be as bad as this current time is/was, and we'll get back on track with our normal ,routine days :) Thank you all, our dear angel friends, for sticking with us :) my writings are raw, and just what's on my mind right now, but i will get back into a nice peaceful balance with my writings :)



We're keeping to our day as closely routine as possible :) This morning ,i put goodies outside for our nature friends, and we had some breakfast :) we got busy early with the drying, and also ordered the power cord, from amazon that will be arriving tomorrow, so that we'll have our power cord here under our coffee table again :) it's gonna be really good for us to recieve that power cord, we're using our backup one right now, and will be able to use our new one tomorrow when it arrives : )the morning felt a bit hectic early, but got better as the morning went on. Holly and i really needed, and wanted to go out of the house for a little while to shop at the dollar tree, plus the fresh air is good for us. my mom, dad, Holly and i went to the dollar tree :) we needed to buy some items ,including happy birthday cards for my mom and Alyssa, for their upcoming birthday's :)



Holly and i also browsed at the hotwheels, collectibles, crafts ,seasonal holiday items :) We bought some nice food, treats for Tiger girl, and also stocked up on some snacks, candy, and bought some birthday items, for my mom's cake we're going to bake for her :) We were enjoying browsing, and taking our time :) it wasn't busy at the dollar tree ,and felt nice shopping again :) my mom and dad were finding some nice items too :) We bought some cake baking pans, cake mix, frosting :) We were enjoying our shopping adventure :) it went smoothly at the checkout :) We all checked out together :) on the way home, we were talking about the water issue, and we all agreed ,putting an extra bin for any water leakage, would be a good thing, and also to use the de-clogger liquid maybe once a month for the drain. it helped boost our spirits to talk about these things, and makes it feel like positive progress forward :) Holly and i did some more drying when we arrived home, and my dad came over on other side of the basement with me to put the extra bin, for excess water, the water has receded over there, and our rugs are drying nicely, thankfully. we're using hair dryer,and also fans. We're determined to get our home back in order :) Holly and i put some movies on, we really needed some funny comedy movies today, which is very helpful, and i'm also enjoying some time here on DS, writing to friends :)



We're doing ok ,and very thankful to be making good progress today :) Thank you again ,our dear angel friends :) You all are helping keep Holly and i in good spirits, and giving us lots of good hope :) We're keeping strong with you all, and determined to make our home fresh again. We've been putting lots of energy into making things nice again. We're with you all, and so thankful and blessed to have you all in our lives :) it was nice shopping today, and also putting some movies on :) Holly and i are gonna have our weekly football party tomorrow, and most likely will put a good hour or two into cleaning ,organizing :) we're looking forward to continued better days ahead, and getting back to our normal balanced peacefulness :)



There's so much more to look forward too, as the season continues to shine :) The fall season is filled with lots of awesome seasonal festivities, traditions, and birthday celebrations to share in :) We love the special times, and celebrations from month to month as the year goes on :) We're so happy to enjoy these golden days of fall season as December arrives ,and soon the holiday's :) The football season is in full swing with lots of great games, plus basketball season too :) We love cheering on the teams! :) The holiday season is coming up :) We cherish and treasure, the many special memories being made :) We're very happy, thankful, and blessed, to have you all in our lives, and to be able to share in these very special times of the season with you all :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us, for comforting us, uplifting our spirits, brightening our days, and for the very special joy you all bring our hearts :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) Big group happy sunny caring sunflower friendship hug :) We wish everyone a nice peaceful evening and night :)

I’m so glad that you and Holly were able to get out and do some shopping at the dollar tree. It seems like you made out pretty well. It’s nice of you to be baking a cake for your mom for her birthday. I love yellow cake with chocolate icing. :-) it’s good that you got to stock up on some candies also. Sorry that your focus has been jumbled up lately and hopefully things settle down soon and your basement is back to normal.
Wishing you and Holly, a peaceful easy football Sunday, hugs

Getting out and shopping can help getting refreshed. I hope that your dad can find a good handyman! I understand how difficult that can be. Sending positive energy to you all. Prayers that all of this works out for you.
