My Comfort Zone

We went out of town to celebrate Mother’s Day and we had a blast. It was raining the whole day, but it didn’t stop us from having a great time. And I think it didn’t stop people from enjoying nature on the special day for moms because even though it was raining, we saw a lot of those bike rack for suvs that were attached to their vehicles. Well, I guess it wasn’t raining where they were going.

But it was such a great day for the three of us. It was my day, but I am so glad my husband and son enjoyed the day too – which is one thing that certainly made me happy.

I am allergic to pollens – that was what I found out when spring started. But it is not something serious unlike others. Whenever I get out of the house, I will start sneezing and then sniffling comes next. And that is it. My sniffling would end after a few minutes.

I know serious allergies would go further to not being able to breathe and all. The husband knows people who have gone through serious allergic reactions. I am just glad I don’t have it. That would have been a big problem.

And I am glad my son is not having problems with it too. He gets sniffles from time to time, but that was it. I am so thankful for the good health!

Gas prices have went up again. Oh boy! I do wonder when it will stop or if it ever will ? And when the gas prices go up, the other commodities follow and I guess the errors and omissions insurance cost too. That is really sad, isn’t it?

If the gas price will continue to go up, I will not drive my car anymore. I will just buy a bicycle instead. That would certainly save me gas, wouldn’t it? And I will tell the husband about it too so we could both drive our bikes together. The only problem with that is that his job is 30 miles away. Hehe.

A line-6 electric guitar. One of the many guitars that I would like to buy as gift for the husband. Having his own electric guitar is definitely one of his dreams.

He does have a guitar here at home, but it’s acoustic and although it is still very useful, it is really looking quite old. He has had it for several years now. So, getting him a new one, not to mention an electric guitar at that, would surely take him to cloud nine. I have no doubt about that. I can actually picture his beaming face.

Well, that was what I had been doing this morning. And you might find it amusing because you know what? I had been imagining on what our front yard would look like after we are done with all the planting. I’ve seen a lot of flower garden ideas from our recent road trip and I will try to incorporate what I had seen here at home.

We’ve actually started our flower garden as soon as spring started, but we only had done the left part of the front yard. The right part is still bald and that is because I still had to look for plants that will grow in full shade. We have three big trees in our front yard so just imagine the shade.

I am hoping we’ll be able to see the plants that I’ve chosen tomorrow. Excited!

We went to South Carolina last weekend and we passed by areas where construction workers were busy working on the roads. They were all geared up in their work gear which is something that I admire here in the U.S. because the companies are really into the safety of their workers. I don’t know if what they were wearing was cherokee workwear, but I really liked it. They reminded my of my husband when he is dressed and ready to go to work.

Back in my home country, this is no big deal. The workers can wear what they want. I pretty well know because my family has a construction business.

After the questions bugging me about the type of worms that are infesting our trees here in the neighborhood, particularly the cherry trees, I finally got the answer. They are called tent worms and their tents are all over the cherry trees. They’re now out of their tents and are all over the place. They will turn into moths in about three weeks’ time, but the fact that I have phobia with caterpillars, that three weeks seem like forever to me.

I’ve read an article on how to get rid of them and it says that the best way is to crush them in their tents even before they get hatched. The problem is, how are we going to crush them when they’re up in the trees. I guess the best way is to pick them all up since they’re all in the ground now and then make a worm composting out of them. Probably something the husband can do, and not me, of course. Oh my worms! Yikes!

Here I go again. Yes, I am having these dizzy spells which is something not really new and surprising to me because I have them every now and then. I woke up yesterday feeling dizzy and although I feel a lot better today, I am still not 100% okay.

I’ve been reading about the causes of dizziness and certain illnesses that have this kind of symptom, but the things that I’ve read were only making me confused. There were a lot of causes and I have no idea which one was the right one for me. Har.

Am I anemic? Or does it have something to do with my eyes? Whichever it is, I hope I’ll find the answers to my questions soon.

Oh, Mother’s Day is already next month, right? I thought of it all of a sudden after seeing Mother’s Day gift ideas online. I like the one where you can design your own mothers rings. For my mom, who loves jewelry so much, I think that would be the best gift to give her for Mother’s Day.

And it will be more special knowing that I design it myself. I can show her how creative I can be when it comes to jewelry. It will be my first, but let’s see. I will do my best to give her the bestest.

News about medical malpractice is one thing that really saddens me. No one wants to be in that situation – a victim of medical malpractice. I know you can have insurance to help you through such events, just as doctors protect themselves with policies like malpractice insurance florida, but the emotional damage that it will do to the victim or the victim’s loved ones is something that they will forever remember which is heart-breaking and something no money can fix.

I am hoping and praying that is not something me and my loved ones will go through.
