Prayer

Today I spoke to a customer that almost had me in tears, in a good way. When I was done helping her, and it took a while, it was a challenging one. It took roughly an hour to get everything set up in order to get her services back up.

At the end of it all she said “I love you Miss Angie, I pray that whatever you have been asking God for comes to fulfillment, I pray blessing and protection over you and your family.”

It’s not often that we talk to customers who say I love you, well I get it a lot, it’s the Owasso accent. But to have one sincerely say they are praying for you, it melted my cold, dead heart.

I told her I loved her as well and we said a prayer together, those are the calls that makes me love my job.

In this stressed out world kindness and love has more power than hate and ugliness.

So, now that she has prayed that for me, will it be Dean or Luke! Or maybe Aidan! Who knows! We shall see once all of this pandemic mess is over.

Don’t roll your eyes at me, it’s going to happen and I do believe we all know who it will be in the end.

I hope it rains soon, it is supposed to, I can feel it, literally, I have woken the past two days with a massive headache. The kind that only comes right before rain, I know it sounds crazy but it’s true.

When I had Elizabeth Anne, they punctured my spinal column and since then when right before a massive storm I get a massive headache. It is something with the atmospheric pressure, normally when I get up and start moving it goes away.

A small price to pay for a good storm, I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I will.

So I found a new show in Netflix, it is called Doctor Foster, I need all of my friends to watch it and then tell me if she reminds you of anyone.

It is a crazy ride! I was completely hooked, it was uncomfortable to watch at times, it was cringeworthy at times, but all the same a fun, thrilling ride.

I am also on the hunt for the Poldark novels, there are a few, I will be searching Half-Price Books and Amazon and everywhere in-between.

I don’t have much more to tell, things are slower in the summer, probably because I am.

The supplements are working, I didn’t have one hot flash last night, nor today. The past 4 nights I have slept between 7 and 8 hours, which is awesome!

You can find a list of what I am taking in the promised update blog.

I hope you all have a great day and remember the power of prayer is a real thing. We should all avail ourselves of it, it costs nothing but humbling ourselves before God.

Just Smile

Yesterday morning I went to one of my favorite places, the dentist, I love going to the dentist. First it is the first time I have been to the dentist since this whole Covid-19 mess started. They called me, I was thrilled to hear from them, they told me the requirements to avail myself to their services. I told them I was happy to comply, so I went, sat in my car, called them to tell them I was there, they came out and walked me, with my mask on. From there they took my vitals and then took me back to the dentistry room.

It was a pleasure to be there, my dentist is funny and upbeat and scolded me for eating popcorn. She has an uncanny way of knowing, then we talked about what was troubling me and what I need her to fix.

First I would like to digress and tell you where I believe my deep love of the dentist comes from. My parents, my mom and dad were unusual for people who grew up during the depression. They both had all of their own teeth until they day they died, with the exception of a partial, for both of them. On opposite sides of their mouths, how funny is that.

My mom had been a dental assistant in the 1950’s, have I ever told you about that? No? Maybe? If yes, I am about to repeat myself. 

These were the days when dental assistants didn’t go to school for that job, they were trained by the dentist. My sister (who was a teenager, still in high school) had applied for the job and had an interview, well she had something to do at school and asked my mom to go in her stead.

My mother had no issue with that and went to the job interview to talk my sister up. At the end of the interview he told my mom that her daughter sounded wonderful but he really wanted someone more mature in the position. Then he asked her if she wanted the job, my mom said she would have to talk it over with my dad and would call him the next day.

She went home and told my dad and my sister about the job and my sister and dad both told her to go for it. Nell said she really didn’t have time for the job anyway.

So my mom went to work for the dentist and had a wonderful time, she learned a lot about the health of the mouth and how to take good care of ones teeth.

So she and my dad had really good oral hygiene as a result, which she then passed down to all of us.

In doing so instilled a lifelong love of going to the dentist and having our teeth cleaned.

ok, back to my problem, when I was 13 I had a lot of dental work done, a lot of the fillings have lasted until just the past few years. Remarkable work to have lasted that long, anyway, I have a filling in my front tooth, it keeps coming out.

I was supposed to go and have it fixed right before all of this mess started. Now it is time to address it, I feel incredibly self-conscious smiling, which is sad, because I have a great smile.

It really is my best feature, next to my hair, it is not vain to say that, I’ve been told countless times I have a great smile. Saying I have great hair, vanity, great smile, truth, well both are true, but back to my teeth.

I am going back in august to have it fixed once and for all so I can smile without a thought. Not that anyone will see it, alone at home, masked in stores. Oh well, I still want it fixed, whether that is vanity or just because. Someday we shall be able to go out without covering our mouths and I will want to smile at people.

Especially at my wedding, to Dean, or Luke or may Aidan (Poldark) oh the choices. It’s a great time to be alive, may you all have a great weekend and go to the dentist!

Dating Update

Ok, so, I did it, my profile on Bumble is live, let the rejection begin. I did indeed use the profile blurb created by my BBFF with my addition on there. I don’t think anyone gets it so far. I do think one man googled the references but upon my conversing further upon the subject he quickly unmatched with me.

I have unmatched with a lot so far, I have one conversation that is happening now, but I honestly don’t think it is going to go too far as he is not nerdy enough.

I say that because I would drive him insane faster than he would drive me insane.

Can you imagine not understanding anything that comes out of someones mouth. They are speaking the same language but not, it can be very confusing.

One man said he played soccer, that was a no brainer, unmatch, one said something I didn’t like about the shirt I had on in one of my photos. Oh, FYI I did allow Shay to choose my photos. All decision making was given away, the only decision I keep is in the choosing.

I am going to be honest here, none are Deanesque so far, I’ll also be honest about this, if someone has on their profile if you voted for whoever don’t swipe right on me. I swipe left on all of them, I don’t want to argue and I don’t want to hear an argument based on elections, politicians or government.

Also, soccer is totally off of the table, trust me when I tell you I have nothing good to say about soccer watchers or players. My last experience taught me so much about those people. If you are one of those people I don’t need you to argue with me about it, not all people are the same, I get it, but I don’t have to live with it.

So, I saw Avengers: Endgame, no worries, I am not going to talk about it yet. I will wait until it has been out for a few weeks before voicing my take on the whole thing. I will say this, go see it, I was completely blown away.

Other than that, you will not be getting anything out of me, thankfully Shay already saw it, so I had someone to talk to about the whole thing.

Please, people, hurry and see it so I can talk about it, I am literally dying! No, not literally, that is hyperbole, however, I do need everyone to see it.

Other than that, nothing else to report on the dating front, I have not set up any actual dates. Wish me luck, say prayers for these men that actually come into contact with me, they may leave more scarred than I.
