Dear Tyler, 

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday late afternoon? Mom is doing okay today. I got a really good night's sleep and I was up at 7 am this morning. I even came downstairs and fed the pups for the first time in 5 days. It felt good to get back into the swing of things even for a little bit. The rest of my morning was spent getting ready, painting my toe nails and getting set to go to my nail appointment. Meme was supposed to drive today but at the last minute she decided not to. Mom was a bit upset by that. Mark had said for me to go but not to drive. Meme was in a bad mood and didn't want to go at all. I told her she could cancel but I was not going to at all. She has just been in a bad mood lately. She really needs to just relax and not stress over the things she can't control. We left at 12:15 pm and got back at 3 pm. Meme made some homemade soup for dinner so that is what I will be having. Today has been the first day that I have actually been hungry in over 5 days. That is a good sign. Everyone is being quiet here. The pups are sleeping, Mark is working and Meme and Bob are in their living room. Mom is downstairs writing to you on my phone as I have no need to go on my PC today. It is already after 5 pm and I just realized this. I am sure the pups will be bugging me to feed them soon. Ozzy is laying on my lap right now though. 
 Mark is not feeling well right now. He started getting sick last night. He is feverish and achy. He is coughing too. He has the cold flu starting I am afraid while I had the stomach bug. Mom got the worst of it though. My throat is feeling a bit better today though and my taste buds are coming back finally. Tomorrow, Mom has to take Meme to get her haircut and Mom goes in 2 weeks to get hers done. I am going to get a highlight and possibly a new hairstyle/cut as well. I am a bit nervous about that but I did make a promise to Meme that I would change my look up. Mom will keep you posted on that progress. 
 Mom has no updates on anything for you today as I still have spoken to no one at all. I will try to give Grandpa a call in a little bit though to check on him. I think he had a couple doctors appointments today. Aunt Beck flew home today I believe as well or it could be tomorrow. I will call her to check up on things too. Mom will light yuh our candle when I am done on here.  I will whisper to you later this evening so smile for me and I will be sure to smile back to you my sweet precious son. I  love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart,mind,body and soul. Mom misses you so much. I hope that you have fun tonight while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. 
 Mom is continuing to say prayers for Australia and those horrid outbreaks of fires that have killed over 480 million animals, over 23 have lost their lives, and over 1500 have lost their homes. It is so sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone....the people in that country, the volunteers helping, the rescue workers, etc.... everyone is praying for rain, lots of rain for Australia. 
 That is all that I have for today, pumpkin. It's a short letter I know but things are very quiet on this end. That is not always a bad thing...lol. Mom will write to you again tomorrow after I get home. Time to feed the pups though as it's going on 5:30 pm. I love you so much. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🖤
