Hi Friends! I'm back, but not alone. My dear friend friends, Jess and Anthony joined me on my return episodes. They truly have been my additional support system as Alvaro, and I continue to deal with the loss of our sweet Bailey girl. Although these episodes are filled with happiness and laughter, just know I'm still processing my loss. It's been hard, but I hope you can hear the friendship we share truly is special. As we discover, we're an odd group of friends, but we're in it for the long haul. I love them dearly and hope you all fall in love with them, too! I plan to have them on more often. Alvaro will finally make an appearance, too! I did decide to break the episodes into two parts, since we talked for 2 hours. Time flies by when you're in good company. Enjoy! Also, lesson throughout the episodes is that Martha is always right. You heard it here! Thanks for listening!

Life update, we had to say goodbye to our sweet Bailey girl over the weekend. It's been very hard for, but we're getting through it. She never wanted me or anyone else to be sad ever. She was the perfect little girl and my soul dog. Miss her every day. Thank you for listening. Be back soon...

Sorry in advance but this episode is just a rant session on what I've been feeling this past week. Weather being up and down. Skin and body temp being so up and down, it's annoying! I've decided to do my own thing with my podcast and not let others influence how I record my episodes. I'm calling people out who say all these things, and yet, aren't doing anything to put themselves out there the way that I do. Podcasting is still a public thing, and anyone could find this, so yes, I'm putting myself out there. Don't fix what's not broken. XG tickets didn't happen, but I'm ok with it, really. I would rather spend that money on a week vacation. Bane turned 10 and it was an emotional time knowing that he's been in my life since day 1 for 10 years. Parking situation where I live makes me mad and I need to learn not to care, but I do since I follow the rules. People who break rules, seems to always get away with it, for the most part. Anyways, thank you for listening.

Thank you everyone for listening to the past three years and all my life stories. I truly appreciate you all. This has been such a joy in my life, even on the days I don't really feel like recording, I still do. Thank you all so much for tuning in each week that I post. Enjoy this small recap and once again listen to me trip up my words lol what's new?!

With much love,

Martha

Comedy shows and how I always just flake out on them last minute when they're downtown. I'm going to make it to Shane Gillis! Tries on Netflix is definitely a show for the Bros. Not sure it's my cup of tea. Alvaro started playing Howart's Legacy and I'm having a hard time watching him play. I get motion sickness from how fast he zooms through it. Downstairs neighbor is the AM of the office, yikes! I only have one dog not three. Time for Jess and Anthony to make an appearance! Ya'll are done hearing me talk about them, it's time to bring them on! Alvaro's cousin from AZ came to visit. It was so nice to see her! XG coming to the U.S., and I'm determined to go! Have you heard the water buffalo song? Veggie Tales was part of my childhood. Thanks for listening!

Wow! 100 full episodes in! I never thought I would make it this far along, but so happy that we did. I want to thank you all for sticking around and continue to listen each week. I have big plans for my podcast, but research and prep needs to be done on my part before I take it on. I truly enjoy posting each week, even when at times it feels like a chore. Please enjoy!

Internatinal Airshow was a good time, and we would go again. Alvaro watches a lot of sad movies and shows. It's a total bummer. I truly have a problem when it comes to silverware and things that I like using and only wanting to use that fork, spoon or knife. I'm quirky. As a great man once told me, "I've always wanted to pull a fire alarm." Life is too short! Pull that fire alarm. I could never, but life is too short. Container gardening is going and I'm hopeful to have a great harvest. Book sale was a great success! Started my sewing project... again. My test results were a sham! Thanks for listening!

I still haven't heard back about my lab results, which led to a 2am email to my Dr's office to see if they could reach out. it's exhausting to have to consistently worry about how I will react to food. I'm hopeful to have answers before my follow up appointment next week. I'm getting a little cray cray with what mugs I like to use with my tea and really only use two. Spring and Summer is in the air, but Martha is still stuck in the Fall and Winter. I need to vamp up my wardrobe. No, I want to vamp up my wardrobe. Bruising from my blood work was no joke. I've never bruised like that and it's just now starting to fade. Wasps are finally gone! yay! I need a reset and recharge weekend. Time to take care of, Martha!

WrestleMania 2025 baby! It's happening! I'm determined to get us tickets to go. Normally when someone is choking on food you rush over to give aid or to make sure they're ok, not my husband. Dry eyes are happening again, but I'm trying to be better about blinking exercises and supplements. I need a new eye mask. My elderly neighbor makes some interesting smelling food...might smell good to other, but not me. That girl has 80's hair. No love, it's just called volume. It's not that extreme of a hairdo. Without knowing it, Alvaro discovers he does have a nighttime routine. Is chewing gum a good thing? I feel overtime it will do damage to my jaw, YOLO. Matching Tattoos, but not with Alvaro. Country Music on a hot sunny day. Country Girl (shake if for me) and That's my kind of Night. Thank you for listening!

May the 4th themed game night was a success, but people were tired. Drinking tea more and more. It's just easier! Tandem reading has been mor enjoyable than I thought it would be. Music heals the soul, truly. I'm sorry to break the news but Mexican's don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but we'll take your money lol Enjoy!
