Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing better than over the weekend. I wanted to write to you but as you probably saw Mom was either sick or busy. Saturday, mark and Mom went out. We were gone for several hours running errands and grocery shopping. While we we out I knew something didn't feel right but I just kept going and pushing myself. By the time we got home, Mom had a huge headache and my body was so achy and weak. I did nothing at all. I went to bed at 8:30 pm. I felt like crap and had a fever. After falling asleep, I woke up a couple hours later to my fever breaking and I was all set. I was exhausted and felt crappy but better if that makes any sense at all. Sunday, I made breakfast after getting the pups fed and walked. I felt ok. I didn't do much though. I didn't even make the bed or get ready at all. I was on the phone with one of my brand reps from 12 noon until 4:15 pm. Yup...long call! After that I went downstairs and I started prepping dinner. Mom made everyone homemade stuffed shells and biscuits. That got all done around 6 pm. We ate and then Mom did the dishes, we walked the pups again and then Meme and Bob went to bed around 7 pm. We followed and watched tv in the room the rest of the evening until 10 pm and then we called it a night. Mom has not been sleeping well for the last week and I have been pushing myself hard. It is no wonder I felt ill. I need to stop it though. I need to have others in this house pull some weight. I can't be the only one that runs a business, in school, does the cooking, the cleaning and the laundry. I am one person and there are 4 adults and 3 pups. something has to give, ya know? Today, I was up at the usual time. Fed the pups and walked them. Then Mom made the bed and got ready. I was out the door by 9:45 am. I went to a couple of stores and then checked out a different grocery store. Meme went with me and I only intended to be a couple hours. We got home at 1:30 pm. I put everything away and then hopped on my computer to send emails, make calls and now I am writing to you. It is now 3:45 pm. Meme and Bob had lunch when we got home and then they took off. They have been gone for a couple hours now. That is a super long day for her. She will be tired tonight. It is left overs for dinner which will be easy for Mom. I plan on soaking in a hot bubble bath and then cuddling up in bed while watching tv until it is time to go to sleep. I am hoping to get rest as tomorrow is a long and busy day for Mom. I am leaving at 9:45 am for a much needed hair app't and then right after a nail app't. It is a pamper me day. I just have to drive there and everyone does the rest. I can relax and that is what I plan on doing! Mom will be home around 3 pm. I will write to you while I am under the dryer again. I know I will not get on my computer tomorrow at all. The rest of the week is working on school as the beginning of December I go right back to my boxes! I really can't believe that Halloween is this Saturday. It is also the day we set our clocks back an hour...we gain an hour of sleep though. It will be lighter in the mornings again and dark at 5 pm which sucks. It will be this way for 3 months before it starts going the other direction again. At least we won't be getting the white stuff like up North! Saturday it is also a full moon. Lots going on. Mom will be taking the decorations down and just keeping the Autumn ones up for Thanksgiving and then it will be time to decorate for Christmas in less than a month. That is crazy to think this! The weather should start to cool down as well here. Should be high 60's low 70's at night and 80's during the day. That will be a nice change! On Halloween it will be 1 year since we all were official residents of Florida. That is crazy too. 

I didn't chat with Grandpa last night but I will call him later this evening. I know he is feeling better though. Debbie has kept me up to date. I am so happy to hear that. Aunt Beck is loving Arizona and they are doing well! Uncle Dick is sick again. His leg is infected. Mom will be praying for him. My friends are still having issues with the Covid but they seem to be on the mend now after 2 weeks. Still rough but every day is better! Power of prayer is strong! I believe! Everyone is doing okay here. The doctors are changing Bob's meds again on him. Mark is crazy busy at work and so is Mom. The pups are good though. I will keep you updated on everything when I have news.

Mom has a candle lit for you now and I will put the warmer on this evening. I will whisper to you later so smile for me and I will smile to you. I am hoping to see a painting in the sky tonight....hint hint! Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit me if you can. Please continue to watch over us all. Thank 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 in my heart, mind, body and soul. I miss you like crazy. More than words. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Until then....good night and sweet dreams. Mom is going to relax for an hour before it is time to get the night routine started. I love you, pumpkin.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 🎃💛🎃
