Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot, where we offer a place for bloggers to link up and get a fresh set of eyes on their posts. We also feature one blog a week, letting our readers know about the blog and providing a link so readers can learn more about it. Please feel free to post new blog posts or old ones you want to bring attention to again.
Look for the post to go live about 9:30 PM EST on Thursdays.
This morning The Husband had a tooth extracted with IV sedation and we thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was. The tooth was close to the sinus and broken so it was set with an oral surgeon about 90 minutes from us.
I don’t drive as much as I once did because of my autoimmune conditions (vertigo, weakness, fatigue, aches and pains. All the good stuff.) but there was no one else to take him, so I had to suck it up and do it.
Long story short, the procedure went well and he was only a bit loopy on the way back.
He actually drove us there so I would know the route and then I drove home.
He did tell me three times in the 90-minute drive that they couldn’t find his vein and twice he told me they asked if he wanted a shot to numb him or the IV sedation. They’d told him when he first called that he’d have to do IV sedation so that’s what he got.
He also asked me twice if I had his prescriptions so we could drop it off at the pharmacy on the way into town. I told him both times that I did.
In the early evening, he came downstairs after a long nap to get some food I’d made him (soft foods of course) and said he didn’t even remember saying those things more than once.
Luckily that was about the extent of his loopiness. He did ask about 15 minutes into our drive home if he thought I was really that loopy or if I was messing with him so maybe he was actually repeating his stories on purpose to mess with me.
I don’t think he was, though.
I appreciated the prayers of friends and family because I certainly felt them.
Little Miss has been sick with a stomach thing this week too so I’ve been up with her a few nights which means bedtime can’t come early enough today!
Anyhow, on to our hosts introductions!
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household – The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Cat from Cat’s Wire is a bookworm, movie fan, crazy cat lady, armed with beads, cabs, wire and a very jumpy brain which loves to go down rabbit holes!
Rena from Fine, Whatever writes about style, midlife, and the “fine whatever” moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she’s been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.
We would love to have additional Co-Hosts to share in the creativity and fun! If you think this would be a good fit for you and you like having fun (come on, who doesn’t!) while still being creative, drop one of us an email and someone will get back with you!

I hope your husband is feeling lots better now. I have always thought about having my colors done, but then I’d probably find out half my clothes are the wrong color!

Apparently I never posted this or it didn’t post for some reason but I had it done Thursday afternoon and was so proud because I thought I would be behind with the dentist appointment, etc. He is a lot better. Still somewhat sore and tired.
