There has been so much to share since I last wrote. I don’t know where to start.

This will be an exciting week for sure. In five days, Paul, Angel, Dan, and I will be flying out on our ‘mystery trip’. Dan and Angel have no idea where we will be going. The trip is a gift for Angel’s college graduation back in May of 2020. I wanted to make sure we went on the trip before Angel has children or get her another gift. We didn’t know how close we would be as we found out after the trip was planned that she is pregnant. Today Angel is making the long trek back home from Memphis. Her best friend flew in yesterday to drive back with her. Dan will be flying home in a couple days.

Last week, Dan and Angel’s missing kitten came back home after being gone for 10 days. We had almost given up hope, especially since the cat escaped from their camper at a camp site they would be leaving soon. We are so excited their baby cat came back. But she used up a couple lives for sure with that cat ass trophy.

I finally called in for work the first time this week as I had a really nasty chest cold I probably got from work. I missed two days. I still don’t feel 100%, but I got sick before the trip not during it. Work is still up to its shenanigans, trying to screw the employees over. But I like the job and the people I work with so I will try to tolerate it for now. Things would be a lot better if we had a capable supervisor.

Late tonight pretty much the whole state of Wisconsin is expecting blizzard conditions in the likes we haven’t seen for 8 years. The bulk of the storm will arrive Sunday afternoon with very strong winds and several feet of snow. The weather forecaster said it will likely be one of the top 5 snowstorms ever recorded. And I have to work a 12 hour shift tomorrow. Since I have to leave at 6 AM, I might be okay. I am not afraid of driving in a blizzard. I am more afraid of going in the ditch as there will be a tow ban. It’s exciting, we’ll see what happens. Then if I make it to work in the ER, that will also be exciting as I am sure only real emergencies will be coming in.

Then, if I make it in to work, after work I am going to spend the night at Angel’s house. She lives a lot closer to my job than I do. We are going to have a slumber party. Then Monday, I am going to go with Angel to her anatomical scan appointment for her pregnancy. AND I will find out the gender of the baby!! There are so many things they do now when you are pregnant. I only had one ultrasound total out of my entire 3 pregnancies. I think Angel already had 3. It will be so exciting too!! I think the baby will be a girl. I originally thought boy. My head says boy and my heart says girl. Angel is my first baby and she was due on my birthday. Now Angel is having her first baby due on her birthday. So, girl?? I am going to put a couple streaks of blue and pink in my hair.

Whatever happens, this week will be very interesting and exciting!!
