Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Saturday morning? It is 11;15 am and Mom is up and out of bed for the first time in 2 days. Yup...that is why I have been MIA and haven't written to you at all. Mom was in bed Thursday and Friday. Tuesday evening I have a sore throat and scratchy throat and slept horrible. Wednesday was still the same but I was up and about doing little things. Thursday I woke up with a full on head cold. I stayed in bed all day and was only out for dinner and then right back in bed. Friday I stayed in bed as well. I watched tv all day long. I finally finished all the DVR movies that I had on there. I did get out of bed to eat dinner and watch the new Cruella movie downstairs with everyone but after that it was right back to bed for me. I slept like crap last night. The head cold is now in my chest as well. I coughed a lot last night but my fever finally broke after 3 days so that is wonderful news and my headache is gone. 

Mom was up at 6:30 am this morning. Pups were fed and walked and then Mark went to the store for me. He got me tissues, cough drops and Mucinex for my coughing. Meme and Bob went out as well too. While they were all gone Mom changed the bed sheets and sprayed Lysol everywhere to disinfect our bedroom. Mom put our brand new sheets and comforter set on and it took me forever to do it but I did it and that is all that matters. I put everything in the wash to clean it up and then I got in the shower. I did a few things after that so that Mark could help me for my taxes for the business. It may be a holiday weekend and a long weekend but for us it is a regular weekend with no partying or cookouts or anything. Mom is hoping that the weekend will be quiet for the most part. We shall see though. Someone has been lighting fireworks off every night for the past 4 nights now. The pups have been pretty good through it though I must say. Mom is hoping to get a good night sleep tonight as it is desperately needed on my end. 

Things are quiet right now here. Mark is doing his own thing, Meme and Bob are in their rooms and Mom is writing to you now as I know that the medicine that I took about an hour ago will kick in and make me sleepy. I see a nap coming in my very near future that is for sure. Today will be another quiet down day of doing nothing at all. Maybe tomorrow I will feel better enough to get outside and just sit by the pool. No promises to that though. I wanted to write to you so that I didn't miss a 3rd day. I hope that you know that you were in my thoughts every day and night. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. You forever live in my heart, mind, body and soul. I still love you more than anything in this world. To the moon and back and all the way around the world. Always have and always will my sweet precious son. 

There really isn't much else to say. I spoke to Grandpa a couple nights ago. They are good. His roof and skirting is done and he likes it a lot. Haven't heard anything from Aunt Beck so no clue if she is home yet or not. Never heard from Bean again on my birthday. Never do either...not for the last 5 years or so. Sad but it is the hard truth. As far as my car is concerned.... I haven't heard anything since Wednesday evening. They asked if I hit or ran something over as the wiring is all screwed up, a plug broke and the rack in pinion was busted. I told them I did nothing at all and I had witnesses to the whole thing. They said they would try to fix it but no promises at all. The guy then started sending me pictures of other cars he had for sale. That is never a good sign. I will wait until Tuesday to see what is going on as it will be 8 days since they have had the car and 4 day for them to be fixing it. Mom is not happy at all with this guy and I have an attorney lined up just incase I need it. Mom will keep you posted on things. For now though I am starting to cough a lot again and that means it is time to get comfortable and relax and maybe see that nap now. I will whisper to you later tonight before bed. I will put the candle warmer on as well for you. Come visit me in my dreams if you can. Please watch over us and keep us safe and healthy. Thank you, pumpkin. Mom will try to write tomorrow but it depends on how I am feeling to be honest. Until tomorrow comes...good night and sweet dreams. I miss you more than words....

Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💜
