Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is not doing the greatest but I will explain down below. I am so sorry that I have not written in 4 days. It has been crazy and busy and just a hot mess here. Let me explain to you what has been going on....

Saturday~ Mom, Mark and Meme went out for the day. We went to Disney Springs and then Old Town shopping. Bob stayed home as he didn't want to come with us. We left at 9:30 am and got home at 3:30 pm. We put stuff away and had dinner. The rest of the night we all crashed as we were tired. 

Sunday~ We were all up early and decided to head back to Old Town for a bit. We got there right as they opened at 10 am. We stayed there until 1 pm. We hit a couple other stores, and then the grocery store before returning home at 3 pm. Another long day out. Mom got home and went in the pool. It was cold but felt great to get in it again after 7 months! I was in it until 4:15 pm. Got out, dried off and then we grilled for dinner. We ate, Mom cleaned up and then we headed upstairs for the evening. Mom crashed early as I was so tired. 

Monday~ We were up at the typical time. Pups fed and walked. Mark went to the office. He left at 8 am. Mom worked in Mark's office for a couple hours fixing it up for him as a surprise. Meme shampooed all the carpets and Mom vacuumed them after they were dried. The rest of the day was spent in my office until 5 pm. Mark called at 5 pm and said he would be home in 15 minutes as he was at Publix... I said why...he got the Covid shot. I was surprised at that. I didn't know he was doing it. Since he got it...46.5 hours later, he is still sick as a dog. He has the chills, fever, everything aches to his bones. He can barely walk. He is still working though. He is staying hydrated and is eating which is good. Mom is keeping a very close eye on him. Monday night we had dinner and then went upstairs and watched tv so that he could relax. we both fell asleep quickly. Guess we were tired.

Tuesday~ Another typical day. Up at the same time for the pups. They were walked and fed. Mark started working from home but was feeling even worse. Mom had a nail appointment to go to. I tried canceling it but I couldn't and Mark said he would be ok. Meme would watch him for me. I left at 12:15 pm. Go cash at the ATM and then heading to my appointment. I got all the way there and was turning into the parking lot when something happened....my car ceased up. steering wheel wouldn't turn, brakes didn't work and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. Mom couldn't turn her car or stop it. I quickly put my hazard lights on and my emergency brake up and placed my car in park. People were getting mad at Mom but there was nothing I could do. Mom was ok.. I didn't panic....I stayed calm. Somehow I managed to get the car in a parking space. I called the guy who we bought it from and then a tow truck. I called Mark after to come get me. I had my nails done while waiting for the tow. Waited 90 minutes for him to arrive. Mom and Mark returned home at 3:15 pm. Mark was still sick, Mom was drained and the adrenaline hadn't kicked in yet. Mom stayed downstairs and had something to drink and a snack before it was time to make dinner. We ate at 5:30 pm, Mom cleaned up and then we went upstairs for the night for Mark to relax. We watched a bit of tv before Mom crashed at 10 pm. My day could have ended badly. It could have been fatal for me and for others but it didn't. I know you were watching over me and taken care of me at that moment. Thank you my sweet precious son. I love you with all my heart and soul. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. 

Wednesday~ Didn't sleep much last night. I was up quite a bit but made no noise. Mark was sleeping soundly and he needed it. Mom had developed a stuffy nose and a sore throat. I was having a hard time sleeping and the renters 3 houses down were partying hard. Yelling and loud music until 3 am or so. Mark woke up feeling like poo again. He said the pain level was about 6. The night before was a 7. He got up and worked though and still is working. It is 4 pm now. Mom went out and got some ibuprofen, protein bars, water, etc... for him. I left at 10:30 am and got back at 12 noon. Mom feels like poo now too. I have a head cold for sure. I have a stuffy nose, sore throat, sneezing, blowing nose, etc... I needed to do some of my boxes today but they are going to have to wait until tomorrow. I have basically done nothing this afternoon. Chatted with a couple people and now writing to you but that is it. Mom is waiting for Mark to get done work and then we will feed the pups, walk them, have dinner and then we will be heading upstairs for the night so that the two of us can relax and feel better. If Mark is not feeling better by morning...he is going to the docs to see what can be done for him. Mom will be better in a couple days. I will take Tylenol and stay hydrated for sure. Please continue to watch over us, Tyler. We need to stay safe and healthy. Thank you.

Mom is waiting to hear back from the guys that have my car. They just texted me to say they are working on it right now. I am curious to what happened and I will get my answer soon enough. Mom will let you know on tomorrows letter. I am going to relax for the night, take meds, suck on cough drops and then get some much needed sleep. Have fun tonight and come visit Mom if you can. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom is going to relax now so until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams later. I miss you more than words can say...

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛
