Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday late afternoon? It is 4 pm here and Mom has done a bunch of things but nothing that I needed to do...ugh! Time is escaping me that is for sure! I am sorry that I took the weekend off from here but I never came into my office and turned on the computer at all. I will explain...here is how my weekend went:

Saturday~ Up at the crack of dawn. Fed the pups and walked them. Mark had to teach a class from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm or so he thought. Mom did some house cleaning and straightened some things out that I was putting off. I got a lot accomplished while Mark was teaching. 12:30 pm came and went and Mom was all ready to go and do something but then Mark was told the class ran until 2 pm. 2 pm came and went and by the time he was finished teaching it was almost 3 pm. The day was gone and shot and we could not do anything at all. Mom sat downstairs and chatted with Meme. We fed the pups early, walked them and then made dinner. We ate and then came upstairs. We were both tired from Friday night. We were up until 1 am because of our loud renters next door. The cops were banging on our door at 12 midnight. It took the officers 2 times to tell them to knock the crap off. They finally listened and were quiet at 1 am. These same renters started back in at 10 am Saturday morning. By 12 noon I had had enough so the cops were called again. They took care of it that time because we never heard a peep out of them again for the remainder of Saturday or Sunday. People can be so rude! 

Sunday~ Saturday night was a rough one again. Mark and Mom only got 2 hours of sleep. Went to bed at 11 pm and up at 1 am due to the thunderstorms that were going on. The pups were freaking out. They lasted until 8 am. We were so tired but we have been in this house so much lately and not doing anything so we decided to go out. We left at 10:30 and went to Orlando. Mom wanted to go to a store there but did not realize that it was in a mall. I was so tired that I didn't want to go in but did. We went into a few stores...4 or 5. The mall is huge and gorgeous. We will go back there again at some point as it is only about 25 minutes away. After that we went to grab a few things at the grocery store and then we went home. We were gone 5 hours. We put everything away, fed the pups early, walked them and then made dinner and ate. Last night was the SuperBowl. It started at 6:30 pm and I think it went until 10:30 pm. It was a joke. Mom had no skin in the game so to speak but I really wanted KC Chiefs to win but they didn't Brady won his 7th ring....the game was totally fixed. The calls were sketchy and everything was against the Chiefs. In a regular game, those calls would have never been made. Mark was so p*ssed at it, he turned the game off. Mom said that morning that the Buccs would win as they would not let Brady lose. I was right. It is disgusting that it has to be that way but it is what it is. Mom was not impressed though. We went to bed at 10:30 pm right after Mark turned the tv off. We all slept good as we were all so tired from the previous 2 nights. 

Monday~ Today~ Up at the usual time. Pups fed and walked and then Mom cleaned the house and then got ready. We had a scheduled showing at 10 am. That came and went as it was a no show. We waited until 10:30 am and then we called it quits. No one ever came or called. We knew these things happen all the time but we were disappointed and a bit upset as Mark was super busy this morning and walked away from his job for this. Our realtor is still on vacation but I emailed her and told her what happened to keep her in the loop. I think she is back either tomorrow or Wednesday. Mom was suppose to start her school today but that didn't happen. I will be doing it tomorrow though. Mark will be working during the day and then was also told that starting tomorrow night and Thursday night he will be teaching in person at the college. His days will start at 8 am and end at 11:30 pm. He will be gone from 5 pm to 10:30 pm and we live an hour or so away so they will be super long days and nights. I don't think it is really worth it but he needs to do it to see for himself. He is also exposing himself to Covid and making us exposed as well. Mom is concerned and voiced it but he is still going to do it. The money he is making is crap money and he won't see any of it. It will mostly go to gas.... stay tuned for updates on that!  Tonight will be all about feeding the pups, walking them, making dinner and then relaxing. The weather is overcast and cloudy and just blah. Mom is tired today so going to bed early will be in sore indeed! 

Mom has had a candle lit for you in her office all day. I will light the candle warmer later. I will whisper to you before I go to bed. I pray to you every night and morning so I hope you hear my voice. Smile for me when you do and I will picture that in my mind. I will smile to you so you can see Mom. I miss you more then anything. 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 will be back with a letter for you tomorrow. Have fun tonight while I sleep. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Thanks pumpkin. Please watch over us all and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you. Mom has to go for now and do a few quick things before it is time to start the night routine. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams my sweet precious son.

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💖
