The last two weeks, I can’t even!!😜 who knew having my Oldest Munchkin Graduate from High School would be a mad rush of events-add in the first town festival since COVID and it’s just a recipe for exhaustion!! LOL
Last week was the actual Graduation- not that I’m proud of her Academic Honors , Summa Cum Laud or anything. Or the fact that she got into a great college and will pursue her dream of being in Music Education and a band director. Yesterday was her Open House, and she wanted to have it in MY barn🙄. Awesome in the fact that I didn’t have to pay to rent a place. NOT awesome in that I had to clean up my projects and make it perfect😜😂😂. But we survived and now we can officially move on to the next chapter of her life-which doesn’t seem possible, yesterday she was just learning to crawl!!
I’m not a huge fan for all the drama social media can cause, but I am a fan of the fact that it can help reconnect with friends from the past. This morning I was talking with a buddy I served with in the Marine Corps, awesome dude, but time and life got in the way and we hadn’t talked in 25 years!! How the heck can it possibly be that long ago? It certainly doesn’t seem like it. Time does really fly!!
Since I am babbling about old stuff, might as well throw in about my latest adventures at the FD. This weekend was June Jamboree, and the Fire Department takes the old 1936 Diamond T Fire Truck down for the kids. That meant the Sunday before, all the Probationary guys got to clean it up and make sure it was ready. That of course meant someone had to drive it to put it away😁😁 by far one of the thrills was getting behind the wheel of that Bad Boy. It’s hard to believe that truck is 85 years old.
To top everything off, this coming Friday is my 6month mapping for my left Cochlear Implant, and 1 YEAR for my right!!! It’s hard to imagine what I would do with out this gift. The past two weeks have probably been the most challenging hearing experiences I have had in a long time. I was able to hold conversation in groups in a social setting without having to say “what was that?” 16 million times!! That is amazing. Not going to lie, it was HARD and today is a day of “nope, not gonna do it”😜 but all the same, every day my hearing gets better, and I am blessed to have a family that is behind me and with me on this journey. So hold on folks! This ride ain’t over and time is Flying, so don’t let it pass you by. In the great words of a Drill Instructor I had “live each day as if it were your last, because one day you will be right. “
