Welcome to EmilyAG.

Has been different. Even more different than I thought it would be. Yes I moved away from all of my friends and family. (30 minutes away but still I never see them anymore.)

We moved out of our cottage in the back of the canyon to a 4 bedroom 3 bath monster house and property back in August of 2024.

I knew things would be something else, waves hands dramatically around, but I had no idea how much of our lives would like really change. (I will go into more detail about all of these events in separate posts but for now here is the highlight moments of wildness.)

Like I hosted my whole family here back in October. Including my younger brother, Mother and my new brother I had just met that year and his wife and child. We had barely moved and were still needing to back and forth to the canyon to get more! Full looney tunes thinking on my part.

My Husband lost his job on December 4th and has been looking ever since. So our savings account has been what has been holding us together and that’s soon gonna run out.

Also in December we got our first set of chicks! 10 all living in the guest bathroom shower while they got bigger and ready to move to the outside coop space. (That happened in February)

January 7th 2025, my birthday, the huge fires broke out in CA and the husband was gone for basically the whole month helping with all of that. Volunteer work of course.

February 3rd 2025, I went into the ER and then ICU because I went into DKA. Yay me. Type 1 diabetes diagnosis came in April.

April… my mom came for another visit and then we took on her dog. So now we are at 3 dogs and 4 cats.

In May we had an attempted burglary while I was home and got a full amount of trama from that…

Now it’s July and we have hatched another 10 chicks (oops) and still my husband is unemployed and the money is running out. Sooo I’m assuming I’ll be going and looking for a job very soon. I mean like very soon.

Oh! And did I mention our primary bathroom has fully become infested with mold? Like black mold in the walls. We had it inspected and cleaned all out back in April but it came back almost immediately and then that company never answered the phone again. Now we are in the position of a demo and remodel for the bathroom. Hopefully it hasn’t spread into the bedroom walls… 😳

All of this to say, I’m tired. And I’m not fully sure what the heck I was thinking starting and creating a new blog to contribute too on top of everything else I’m trying to figure out in life. I’m thinking I’ll start the anti anxiety meds that the doctor prescribed for me back in March…

I’m aware this post is highlighting more of the chaos and craziness that’s happened since Octoberish but I plan on the next post being a bit more positive… yeah… I should start the Wellbutrin tomorrow…
