You never know what you will stumble upon when you go to the store for a tube of BenGay.
I found this adorable princess crown at our local DG for $1.
I hobbled over to the self-checkout, which I despise, and paid for my little treasure and topical hot cold shit for my right leg.
I pulled my right glute muscle in the first dance class of 2019. It hurt for months.
When the weather gets cold, it literally kicks my ass. The pain has been pretty steady for most of February.
After leaving DG I went to dance class. I moved my right leg a little too far out and Boom! It felt like an arrow in my leg. 🎯
Needless to say, I couldn’t put any weight down on that leg but managed with a lot of pain to do upper body strength training moves and teach classes.
I was pissy on my way home and was in agony. When I got home I quickly tried on Nelly’s little crown, my heart melted and it cheered me up.
This little princess has become our magical princess that turns frowns upside down, and makes us so happy and lovey-dovey.
She is such a cuddle bug but likes to play hard. She knows how to play Marty like a fiddle which is the cutest thing ever for me to watch.
She was in her glory this weekend and I was too since my brother Dan and my 16-year-old niece Tabatha came to visit.
We had a wonderful time getting to each other better with lots of one one-on-one time.
We only met for the first time at the end of 2019 just before Covid. We still have a lot to catch up on and this was our chance.
Noah and Aja came for dinner on Friday night. Dan and Noah had a lot of stuff to chat about. It made my heart so happy!
Just as they were packing up to leave today, Sam showed up after spending time in Lake George for the weekend.
It was great they could at least talk for a few minutes before they headed back to Jersey.
It was a weekend retreat for them and me. We had lots of laughs, lots of stories to tell, and a few tears and we talked about the good and bad things we got from our father.
Father. Sperm donor. He was never a dad to his 3 children and split when Dan was 6 months old.
He never knew about me which was absolutely the best thing for me and my biological mom.
I am headed to bed with little Miss Nelly now. I know I’ll fall asleep with a smile on my face and more love in my heart. ♥️

So glad you are getting to know your family better. ❤️
Your Nelly is adorable and every time you write descriptively about how much joy she brings you I want to run out for a puppy, but it’s not time yet for us.
I’ve had 2nd hand experience with family members finding biological family, and I know it brings up so much. It’s great that the two of you want to know each other better and you have a niece to. I don’t know your whole story but I know the story of my family members, one who welcomes more information, although she didn’t initially, and the other who feels much
Different about the process, but respects that the person on the other side may need or want something more from him than he needs from them, at this point anyway.
My little girl is adopted as you know. I have felt from the very start that in some way she completed
Me. That my soul was waiting. Looking. Feeling her out there, for years. But with every family that is built through adoption it’s important, I think, to remember another was altered, also forever, with the leaving. It is my belief that in some small way that needs to be honored too. Not in the way most people today do, thanking the bio mom and or dad for bringing & giving away a life, but in real understanding, real
Compassion.
I hope this makes senses.
Peace, Julz
P.S.
ever try Biofreeze for the leg? I loved it for my shoulder, get Marty to rub it in, the combination of the cream & the massage is wonderful. I hope you feel better soon
