Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Friday afternoon? Mom is doing alright but for some reason I am very tired today. I was doing good this morning. Got a lot done and was productive but this afternoon has been a totally different story. It is 3:30 pm and I could close my eyes and just fall asleep. Mom is sorry that once again I didn't write a letter yesterday. I am pretty much sucking this week with writing you your letters. Please forgive me. This week has been crazy and busy. Yesterday, Mom and Meme left at 11 am and never got home until after 4 pm. Mom's hair appointment was over 3 hours long. I had blonde highlights done and then after that I had a few pink ones put in. I will post that picture on here tonight for you. I like it a lot but I know it is not going to stay for long at all. It was a fun color to do and I will enjoy it for the next week or so! When we got home, Neither Meme or I had anything to eat or drink all day long. We were hot as it was 99 degrees here yesterday, tired, thirsty and hungry. Mom made dinner about 30 minutes after we got home and then around 6 pm....we had severe thunderstorms and the rain was heavy and wind was just whipping. That lasted for about 2 hours or more. Mom fell asleep around 10 pm after watching TV for 3 hours. Mark was still awake at 12 midnight. He finally turned the TV off and Mom finally could get some pretty good sleep. We were up at 7 am. Pups got fed, they went for their morning walk and then we all relaxed for a bit. Meme and Bob left for his doctors appointment. He had blood work done. He goes next week for an appointment face to face with his PCP. That will be interesting. She will see that he has gained a lot of weight again and she will hear that he has been not following her directions with not exercising and eating a sugar free diet. I hope she yells at him and is firm. He needs it. We all tell him here and he could give a sh*t. He was yelling at Meme today when I was downstairs. I walked away. He believes that him doing nothing all day, every day is just fine but no it is not! It is annoying and we are all tired of it. Anyways... while they were gone this morning, Mom vacuumed the floors, did laundry, changed some door knobs on the pantry and closet doors, stripped the bed and made it, got to chat with Bonnie for a few and then I got ready. After that, I went downstairs and made something to eat and then to my office I went. Mom is trying to lock down what I want in my subscription box for the very first one. I need to get it right and do a good job with it. I will take this weekend to figure it out and by Tuesday I should be ready to work with the company who will help me launch it. It is exciting and nerve racking all at the same time....lol! I have a few people already interested in it so that is a good thing! This weekend is the holiday weekend. It is Memorial Day Weekend. This is the weekend where everything usually opens up for the summer season. This year is a totally different thing. Most places are still closed down or they are limited to how many people can go to the beaches, parks, lakes, etc.... The Covid-19 is still very apparent. Numbers in some states are still climbing. I think the last time I saw the numbers it said over 1.5 million tested positive and now there is over 90,000 deaths throughout the United States alone. This is so sad. It breaks Mom's heart that there is so much sadness going on in this world. There was a picture that went viral and it showed 2 nurses in the window looking at people in the parking lot. One sign said: He is at peace now and the 2nd sign said: We are so sorry. The people in the parking lot lost their Dad. People are seeing all these things, hearing things but yet they still are not doing what we all need to do. Social distancing, staying home is still very much needed. No one is listening and no one really is caring all of a sudden. When Mom is in public, there are so many that are not staying 6 ft apart, not wearing masks, etc.... it makes Mom not want to go anywhere. Yesterday, I did go to a retail store. The first time in over 4 months. You had to wait in line outside before entering the store. Only a certain amount were allowed inside at one time. The store was bare. I was so shocked. After what we had to do, I have no desire to go to it again for a long time. I don't need anything that bad! I know why it has to be done, it puts a lot into perspective for me even more than before. Mom is still praying for everyone all over the world. I pray for those who have been tested positive, for those who have lost a loved one and Mom prays for everyone to stay safe and healthy here. I know you are watching over us and I thank you so much for that. I know you, the angels and God are keeping us healthy and safe every day and night. I thank you all for everything every single day and night. The power of prayer is wonderful. I believe and that is what matters! Please continue to watch over us. Thank you. It is after 4 pm now. Mom needs to be thinking of what to cook for dinner tonight. It might be tacos or pasta...not sure. I need to be getting the stuff set for the pups and then take them for a nice walk. The painters are here again. They better be done today as Mom is just so fed up with them it is not funny. They said they would arrive at 10 am yesterday and never showed until after 2 pm and left at 5 pm. Today they arrived at 2 pm again. I hope that this company gives me a review to do or if not then I might find their website and leave my own. 3 weeks today...not acceptable at all! People need to be aware of this. Anyways... the weekend is going to be hot hot hot again. Mom will be writing to you at night time as I will be spending my days outside by the pool. It will be a lot of sitting out, swimming, sun bathing and grilling this weekend! Mark has a 3 day weekend as well so that is nice! Oh yeah...he had his doctor's video call. Mom diagnosed him correctly. I hate being right...lol. He got a prescription and the doc said he should see a 90% difference by next week. If not he will have to be seen! Mom will keep you posted. 
 Have fun tonight while I get some sleep. Visit me in my dreams if you can. I miss you so much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You live in my heart, mind, body and soul forever. I will light your candle and whisper to you tonight. Smile to Mom and I will smile back to you to. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. Remember, you will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
