Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom needs to start this letter off by saying that I am so sorry for not writing to you for 3 days. Mom had every intention of writing to you over the weekend but that got screwed up as it was busy and yesterday was about the same. It is late here again but Mom was not going to go another day without writing to you. here is the breakdown of the last few days:

Saturday: Mark and Mom were up at the usual time. Pups were fed and walked and then we lounged for about an hour before getting ready to start the day. We took our showers and then we headed out to the post office, running errands and finishing our Christmas Shopping. We really had a busy but fun day. We ended it with going to Olive Garden and getting take out and bringing it home to eat. We got in around 4 pm. We put everything away, had our food and then relaxed after getting the pups taken care of for the evening. We watched tv and then called it a night as we were both exhausted.

Sunday: Up at the crack of dawn feeding the pups and walking them. The weather has been so cold here. You can literally see your breath in the mornings. The temps have been in the low 40's at night and only in the upper 50's to low 60's. Not the usual weather for this time of year but it is a nice change to welcome instead of all the heat! we did not go anywhere on Sunday. Mom made brunch for Mark and I. Did a few things around the house, cleaned up my office a bit while Mark was doing a few things. Around 1:30 pm.... the plan was to have us all make cookies and watch a Christmas show Mom had recorded. Well... that didn't go as planned. Meme didn't want to do it, Bob was sleeping so it ended up being Mark and Mom. We didn't watch the show and Mark ended up being sick half way through the baking so I did the majority of it and then cleaned up. Meme did come down to just watch about half way through. She was suppose to make brownies but didn't want to so she told me to make them... I said no. She got mad and went upstairs. That was too bad... that wasn't the deal. I didn't feel bad about it at all either. Cookies were done around 4 pm. Mom fed the pups early, we had a light dinner due to Mark being sick. We went upstairs early and he took a hot bubble bath while Mom called Grandpa. That was the 1st time in 2 weeks since we spoke. Debbie answered the phone and said nothing.....she just handed it to Grandpa. She was silent the entire time we talked. It was a quick call...maybe 10 -15 minutes. Nothing really was said. I didn't want to get into it right then. Mom is still upset about the tickets. Guess they are not. She has no right to be angry. We are the ones who should be and we are. Mom will wait until the holidays are over to say something but after that... I will have to. They need to know how we feel. Anyways...we watched a bit of tv and then went to bed early so that Mark could get some rest.

Monday: Mom was up earlier than Mark. The pups were fed and walked. Mark started work at 8 am. Mom did a few things in the morning and then got ready. I had a meeting with a friend that was supposed to have started at 12:30 pm. Mom left at 12:15 pm and was early. I guess traffic was involved and an accident or two on his route so he didn't get there until 1:15 pm. We chatted and worked on a few ideas for the box and then around 2:30 pm we had to both go. Mom left there and went to the post office to drop boxes off. What a long line to wait in....I spent 40 minutes waiting in line. It was nuts! I was home at 3:45 pm. I was tired. Mark finished work at 5:15 pm and we fed the pups and walked them for the evening. We had dinner and watched tv. Mom wanted to go to bed early but we had noisy renters 2 doors down that were yelling and partying until 1:30 am. Mom got very little sleep last night.

Tuesday: That is today! Mom and Mark were up at 7 am. We did the usual and fed the pups and walked them. Mark had to immediately go upstairs and get ready as today is the day he has to physically be in the office. He left at 8:15 am. Mom stayed downstairs with Rocky so that Meme could go to the post office while Bob was still sleeping. after that I came upstairs, made the bed, got ready and then painted my toe nails. Once all that was done, Meme and Mom were on the road at 11:30 am. We had a nail appointment today but had to go to a few stores first. We were late to our appointment because of the long lines and traffic. We made it though and we got home at 3:30 pm. It is now 4:42 pm. Mark is driving home as Mom types this to you. The pups will be needing to be fed and walked soon. Mom needs to do that and start prepping for dinner. It will be an early night for us both as we are both tired.

Tomorrow will be a busy day as well but Mom doesn't have to go anywhere. It is a day to just stay home and get things done. My boxes are moving slower this time but that is ok. I still have all my subscribers back so that is awesome. I like a small intimate group. This way I can do so much more. Eventually it will grown and be bigger and I will wait that day for it to happen but right now I would like about 10 more subscribers and I would be happy! I hope I can get them and soon. There are 12 days left for this box. Please help me, Ty if you can! Thanks pumpkin!

I will light the candle this evening and I will whisper to you before I go to bed tonight. Smile to Mom and I will smile back to you. I miss you so dang much. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live in my heart, mind, body and soul. Have fun while Mom sleeps and come visit me in my dreams if you can. I will be waiting to see you there. I have to run for now but I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then....good night and sweet dreams. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you 😘

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💚
