Day 192 - Chillen with Jerk

you know this morning I am on the way to the GYM and window is cracked and that cost $45 to fix - Tomorrow another $50 for front end alignment - last week $70 for two used tires and insurance company lowered our benefits because they forgot to tell us something so all my follow up testing has to be held off until April- and the month prior $400 for other repairs - people close to us are having hard time with work issues and and and - SIGH --- wife says WHY do all these thing pile up around Christmas it just seems like.. STOP I SAY to  HER -- simple reminder that --

If one is alive and well enough to keep trying then all these things are just minor inconveniences - yes stressful at times in comparison to things we had to fight through 3 Christmases ago (being told I had cancer and treatments) these things are not ALL that bad :)

SO here today after another long day -- I eat supper and chilled with some home made Venison Jerky - no I did not get the deer - but it was a good way to chill after supper none the less...

STAY CHILLED ---

Day 191 - Chillen with a Blur

Well last night I only got about 2 hours sleep so today I drug myself through the day -- AND I only had 3 cups of coffee! SO by the time I was done with clients and did some HONEY stop at store and get __ shopping I got home about 7pm - My wonderful wife had a yummy super made and we sat down as a family and ate! -- after supper was/am to tired to be to creative so I just kicked back after supper and chilled - I tried to get my wife in it but all I got was me chillen and her looking like a blur but that is ok it represented how I feel mentally tonight -- I am slower then the rest of the world and you know what it is OK!!! Stay chilled --

Day 190 - Chillen with Dianna clause

Today we lazed around in the morning then went out and did some last minute Christmas shopping -- then home to watch some football -- I should have doen a lot of things but I did not -- I needed to chill today - sometime during the afternoon my daughter found a Santa suite in the basement and came up looking all Santified --- LOL -- I knew it was the chillen pic of the day!!!



Day 189 - Chillen in Fankenmuth

Well we made a HUGE goof up today -- NEVER NEVER EVER go to Fankenmuth Mi on a Saturday in the month of December - there are something like 100,000 people in this little tourist trap town... Plus to top that off we went to Bronners Christmas Store - This is a fun and very cool place!!! We started two years ago with a new family tradition of going there and each buying a new ornament for out tree - after I went through cancer surgery and had started treatment - This is the third Christmas since life changed -- still cancer free and still VERY thankful to God for that - I hope I can add 40 more ornaments to our family tree :) ---

Anyway - I have never been in a store or anyplace like this one today - you had to move around in the store like cars on the highway you had to merge and put hands out to get in the flow of people - and let others take turns walking into line - I had to get across the store to get the var and I thought I was in a human moving maze -- NUTS ---

Well here is my chillen pic (though I did get a tad stressed in this chillen day lol)  near the locally famous fried chicken place Zehnders - I have never had the chicken there cost to much for us right now but I hear it is yummy - Glad to be home really chillen now!! -

Day 187 - Chillen with Blessings

Today was so nice all I did was a bunch of paper work and then went out to lunch with my wife -- VERY nice--- Tonight the family all bagged up around 100 loaves of bread/buns to give to needy families at the Flint Easter Seals office consumer party tomorrow - The little church we go to and I do mean little like 12 of us donated this plus 60 pairs of NEW gloves, 100 little Debbie cakes and 2 big bags of Snicker bites -- I know that these items will be a blessing to these families and the kids will appreciate the treats -- I love DOING the things that my faith commands us to do and that is show love and bless those with less than we have! So thank you Horizon church and if you belong to a church or group bigger than 12 which most are I encourage you to do even more than this -- Go in to all the world and -- Love and Bless those you cone into contact with ---

Day 176 - Chillen & Non-Naked Tree

Ok well lets make this one simple - Last night I posted my naked tree and it has tied for the all time most viewed chillen pic I have done so far!! I don't know if it was the word naked or what that triggered the views but I thought I had better follow up with the dressed tree  LOL -- Stay chilled you all --

Day 174 - Chillen & a Naked Tree

Well Thanksgiving is done and NOW the Christmas season is under way- I do not have a problem with the fun stuff like decorations, and snow - BUT I HATE HATE TOTALLY LOATH the commercialism of the season - None the less -  My wife anf daughter put up tree tonight with no decorations so she could train the cats not to climb it first - All is going good but I still say once the sparkly and dangle things get on the tree the cats will attack - lol --
