Episode Transcript
I have found you in a different location than ever before. I'm on the move, but you have found me. Sure, the town's following you. You will be stellar. It's great. I'm stalking you. That's what it feels like. Hello, over here. So tell us what's going on in your world today. Well, I am a... I'm a... I spent the last two days, well, the last three days. And oh my god, I'm not going to be at work for two weeks mode. I'm just trying to do all of the things, all the things. Just get all of the things done. So I have just dropped Gracie off at CZ's head off. I've had her for the past three days as well. Love it. And now I'm headed to the airport to pick up my sister. Dang it. I forgot to get Cindy's nebulizer, which is sitting at my house for six months. By the door, waiting for me to put it in the car. Oh, anyway. You sound like me. Okay, I'm done. What are you doing? That right. That's what I was doing. I was doing stupid stuff. I was like, oh, it's okay. You have passed on your brain. Okay, thanks. Oh, Lord. So the surgery is tomorrow? Tomorrow at nine o'clock. So when you're hearing this episode, Mandy will be how I'm pan killers. Exactly. So the craziest day has depositions tomorrow and Friday. And I was like, y'all, you know, I'm going to be so tempted because they're re-azzing. Yeah. Now, like, you know, I'm going to be so tempted to get on because I hate to miss these depositions. Yeah. So if you see my little square pop up, just immediately cease and desist everything because I will be high as a kite. Don't be letting me get on. And for those, like, give a little refresher about this lovely surgery that you're going to have tomorrow. So I'm having for sure. And in this topic, I can't remember what it stands for, Sinus surgery. So there is a sinus cavity that's sort of behind your ear at the base. I mean, behind your eye, kind of at the base of your ear, back there. And that cavity has something in it. You can't tell from the CT what it is. Actually, base of them have something. One of them's almost completely full. But having taken five different antibiotics in a period of five months, and it's still there. So they got to go in and get that out. So they'll do that. In addition, if my last appointment, the PA was like, you know your septum's a little, it's not bad, but it's a little crooked. So I will probably also have a septip lasty wherein they straighten your septum. And then he will also go into all of my sinus cavities and drill a hole to make the drainage hole bigger. And then we also have something called, it's a turbanate or a turbanate because Tic-Toc University has taught me that both of those pronunciations are correct. And they're sort of a little, like sort of remind me of like a stalagmite or a stalagmite that hangs down. My hangs down, I believe, and Tic goes up. So it's one of those that sort of hang down in your nostril, and they can get really enlarged and say they will also go in and reduce my turbanate. Turbanate, turbanettes, whatever they are. So I'm going to do it. Roto-Rooter, straight down and reduce. Uh-huh, go. Go. And enlarged. Were they standing large? Reduced and enlarged. Oh, I forgot the enlarged part. Yeah. So listen, it's going to be good times. Good times. The result will be great. Um, I hope they give you some good drugs in the meantime. I already have the, have already filled my oxy-contin subscription. Amen. And amen. Thank you for playing. Yes. Well, what else is going on in your world? Well, I was in Nashville over the weekend. That was super fun. Yeah. Got to see some good Vandy boys baseball games. They swept A&M. The, the Whistler. I've not heard the Whistler a lot this year. Yeah. If you're unfamiliar with Vandy baseball, Vandy baseball has the fans. And they're actually two, but Jeff's the loudest one. Um, and he whistled. Clap, clap, clap. And, uh, he hadn't put you in here. You can hear him. If you watch Vandy baseball games, I will tell you just to get here. And it's so annoying. And so you just get you to do it and then it just is. Um, but I have not been hearing him on any baseball games. And I said to my sister, I was like, is Jeff okay? I have been hearing these pieces of the end of her room. So we got there first night. And all of a sudden, these people came and sat down. And, uh, I'm going to be like, an official free game play-off fan. Johnson. And, uh, Jeff also, in addition to the Wittling, every now and then he'll just go, he's, I'm really doing the good. I'm breathless, like Santa Claus. And Zeta, do that and these Texas, they did. Then, I'm too. Just set the tables. Like, turning it into grabbed him, and nasty. Look over their shoulder. like you don't know honey you don't know. And I said out loud my sister was in bathroom and I said out loud to nobody I thought well don't sit over here if you don't want to hear it and apparently it was loud enough that her friend Lisa he said several seats over her bed so I don't really know if you all heard it but anyway. So I told Julie when she came back from the bathroom and she goes Jeff and she points at them and she's like they're A&M fans. You might get made of machine life. Yeah. She got to be loud. So boy howie from that point on the Whistler was on fire. He did not stop chirping the entire game. It was hysterical. I love it. A hysterical. But anyway, see you soon. So the Vandy Boyz Slit we went into the game Thursday night and Saturday afternoon so that was super fun. And Friday night we went to a Jason Isville concert at the new venue in Nashville called the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle was fun. I mean underwhelmed. It's the bridge down arena is like their big arena. And the way I had heard this place talk about was that it was sort of filled the gap between the Ryman and the things that made me 2000 people. Yeah that's my thing. And bridge down arena. And so this is supposed to kind of fill that gap. But it wasn't like there wasn't anything cool about the room that it's being so fun. But the concert was awesome. We lost. You're back. Okay. When we finished last night, Katie was like that came to lady and let that out. What are your favorite? I'm like, oh sorry. It's already been on. It's a great album. It's just Jason on a good guitar and the same guitar on every cell. And so he did mostly songs from that. He did a few others as well. But it was really good. It was fun. My friend Elizabeth had bought the tickets back in October. And so we were glad that it worked out that I could actually go. And then my sister who has become an Isabel Fianc and her Christmas expedition. She bought a ticket at the last minute and she came to. Oh good. Yeah. So it was really fun. Very fun. Yeah. So I was really, I was really sort of yet. I felt all of them since last week. So what about you Katie? What's been happening? Well, today's been quite a day. I went to lunch with a friend of mine. I ever in Sylvester, Georgia to a place called the Palace. It's a really cool. I've seen a lot of people from Austria. No, I've seen a lot of people from Austria. They've seen pictures there. It is really cool. It is very unlike, it's more like an Atlanta vibe, like dark walls, cool. But it's a library. Yes, it's really fun. It's so fun. So we went to lunch and I got back and honey had destroyed the door jam, which she's never, ever chewed. And she's not a mouthy girl. She doesn't eat things normally. So I thought I was safe to leave her out instead of putting her in a crate, but she's grounded now. Which I can get it fixed, no problem. But I mean, like, come on girl, come on. And then FedEx. So I know we've talked a lot about our woes with the United States Postal Service. And look, I get it. I live on a campground. So there are a lot of buildings. But I am in the only house. And it's obviously a house. And there is a mailbox. And I have the only mailbox. On the place. And so the mailbox should give away. Where they should leave the packages. Listen, let's not overestimate FedEx's ability. They're the word. I hate them. So honey's food comes frozen and they left it down at what they call the preacher's cabin. And now my weight loss meds, which are also refrigerated, are who knows where. Because this time they took the picture so close that I can't tell where it is on the campground. Well, at least the other time it was a real picture. I want FedEx want to send me a picture of just asphalt. No package anywhere inside just asphalt. And so they had delivered it. So Katie, to make herself feel better if nothing else is going to call customer service here in a hot minute. And. And what? Yeah. I'm well acquainted with our customer service FedEx. Let me tell you. Today I was waiting on a package from a client who tried to FedEx it on Friday and they didn't pick it up. And they tried to FedEx it on Monday and they didn't pick it up. So they finally picked it up on Tuesday. And he texted me at 1030 this morning and said they say it's been delivered. I knew it wasn't outside my door because it's FedEx. And I get downstairs and it's sitting on top of the mailbox for the entire building. But it's like in a it wasn't even in a white envelope. It was in like a brown envelope. Had I not known it was there? Like it was invisible. Yeah. I hate them so much. Super exciting. So as soon as we're done I get to go walk the campground and find my box. Because it has refrigerated medication in it. The lesson here is GTS. I really didn't really have stops. I got a subscription from like a miss it market. So I'm on baby for Christmas one year. And so I give this free feed for me. Yeah. Every way, every two weeks. I quit. I canceled it because they called. I said, can you all do any other delivery option? Because I can't see them FedEx. That's what I did. Yeah. Were they able to do it? Not. Yeah. I was told the same thing about her food. So I was hoping you were successful. I was hoping you were successful. I was hoping you were successful. I was hoping you were successful. Yeah. I don't know what else to do. I mean, I'm going to have to switch food. And I mean, I don't. It's from it. You know, this medicine. I don't know. I guess I can switch. Pharmacies that do the mixing. I don't know. Anyway. So I'm so mad. I'm so mad. I'm so mad. So I'm so mad. I'm so mad. I'm so mad. I think my friend, Frank Miller. I think you and a couple of FedEx. So other than that, I did send honey's DNA off. So any last minute guesses as to what we are besides today, a very bad girl. I would love to have them. So I think I'm going to put on, since you'll be out of commission and you normally do our social media, I think I'll do a post maybe asking what our guesses are about honey and her DNA. So that'll be fun to see what she is. But of course, I sent it because this is what they gave me, USPS. So who knows if it'll ever actually make it there. But I swabbed everything. I'm watching basketball. I can't believe I'm still saying that, how am I still interested in basketball? But I am. There have been some good games. There have been some buzzer beaters. There have been some overtime games. We're kind of at the time of the tournament where it's pretty obvious who's should win. So there's not, I don't think it going to be that many surprises. But as we get further into it, it should be interesting. There might be some good games. I'm very hopeful that Tennessee lays us. May too. As we all are, right? I'm going to say the last time I checked, I was in sixth place in the first clinic bracket. Look at that. Look at that. I think I'm losing both of mine. Hold on, let me check. I've got them pulled up. I will say that my inability to pick Tennessee ever, even my loyalty to the so-con conference, had me pick Wofford over UT. And that didn't work out real well for me. Well, and one, my breath, and I'm doing a little different. I'm not doing like a full bracket. I'm just doing a point bracket kind of thing. And I'm beating Christine by five points. And Dustin is beating me by four points. Okay. So it's a mixed bag over here at the top of the ground. The other thing that happened this week was really, really cool. Two things that are kind of family related. So I went to a book signing. Well, yeah, it was a book signing, but it was an author event at the Dolly library. Look at us in Dolly County. And the guy named his Ken Vance. And he went to Georgia College and he was the chief of police at Georgia College. And then went on to do some stuff at the state level. And I said, afterward, I was like, well, my people are from Millageville. You might have known Ethel Ford and John Montgomery. And those are all my great grandmother's siblings that never married, that all lived in the family house until I was in high school and they all passed away. And he's about jumped up. He's like, your Ethel's niece. Oh, my gosh. I used to get drunk with her. He said, at every party she would make me save back some alcohol. And then I would stay late and we would drink until we got drunk and your uncle would drive me home. That's funny. It's all well. Wow. I mean, first of all, to hear stories about that generation, I don't meet people that knew them anymore. Right. I mean, people have passed away. And so to be able to connect with somebody about those sweet, who I loved, every one of them, I loved all three of them. She was fierce in 1918. She got on a train and went to Michigan by herself to college. I mean, that just, she was fierce. And I just loved her so much, but didn't obviously know that side ever. So it was really, really sweet to even though they were great stories. But it was fun to talk to somebody that knew that generation of my family. So that was a real, just a fun thing. I was so excited. Oh, good. Yeah. And then I was one of the people that goes to my church is kind of the junk man in town. He has a store and he's got great stuff. But it's one of those that you have to really dig through. I wouldn't call it an antique store. I would call it a junk man store, which I love. And I was going to take him a picture of a McAfee candy company candy dish because I've been looking for one for myself for years and years and years. And they used to be on eBay every once in a while. My brother, unknowingly, would go in and outbid me on all the eBay things. And then I get his house. I'm like, oh my gosh, I'll buy one from you and he won't even give me one. So I've been trying to find one for myself for years. And so I thought, well, if anybody can find me one, it's the junk man because he has to all these estate sales and stuff. And so I went online to find a picture of one and low and behold on Etsy. There was a McAfee candy company candy jar. And it's got the middle. Yeah, I did. I did. It's on the way. But guess who's delivering it? So maybe. Oh, no, right. So maybe just cross yourself and I'm going to do it too. So I'm so excited. It's got the metal. It's the original glass jar with the handle. It almost looks like one that looks like a keg, you know, one of those kind of shapes. The glass. And it held the snow. They called them. It was like a coconut. Coconut snow cubes. And it's got the metal lid. And it says Indianapolis, Indiana and Mac and Georgia, MacAfee candy company. And I just could not be more excited about this thing. Oh, good. I'm just thrilled. I can't wait for it to get here. There were one scent. I don't know if you can see that, Mandy. But I'll send it to you. But it's just I was just thrilled. So my love. Family tree heart was very happy this week. Oh, God. Oh, no, that'll be cool to have. So I'm very excited. I'll probably pay too much money for it, but I don't care. I found it and I got it. So there we go. Well, I don't have it yet. That's left up to the USPS. I'll learn how to. I know. So we'll see. But I'm very excited to have it. I thought that was really cool. And it, you know, I've just I was thrilled. So. Okay. Yeah. Well, that's about all for my week. That's enough. I've had a lot on there. Also, by the way, you remember we talked about the tree and the tabernacle. They've started roofing the tabernacle. And it looks really good. They're doing a great job. I can't wait to see the Cedar new Cedar shingles. And it's just been fun to watch. So there is healing during Lint. So that's nice. Okay. Yeah. Well, I know you're driving. And there's nothing on here. So I'm ready to type, Mandy. But you tell me what food, if any, that you have. I have to force this. I'll have to text you. I'll text you the recipe. Oh, there we go. Okay. It's a Karelian chamber recipe. And they were shot. If you subscribe to her, her sub-sack, then you know that she's gotten on a kick of doing salad. It's going to last all week in the fridge. Yes. So I think it was two weeks ago. She did a Tush, inspired salad that'll last all week. And I made that today. It's a matter of fact to just have, because listen, my sister is a nurse practitioner. So who else would you rather have come take care of you after surgery? Right. And she can cook. She does enjoy it very much. So I was trying to get a couple of things done so that she wouldn't have to worry about it for a second. But it's Farah and you cook the chicken and the farah at the same time in the same pot, like, food a bucket. And then it's just bell peppers, intimated and cucumbers and chickpeas and... I feel it. And farah's floating. Okay. Yeah. So I will post this. You do it all farah and then the dressing is like red wine vinegar and lemon juice and olive oil and a regular. And it's very good. It's very good. Oh, never mind. I can only go so far and then I'm not subscribed. So I thought I could be a priest. I'll be a priest. So I think the best way I would recommend because they know that when I eat a salad, is there a refrigerator all week? I love that. Yeah, I like that idea because if it's a lettuce salad and you dress it, you know, you're kind of screwed by the day too. So I love that. It's based with Farah. I've seen him based with like Orzo and other things. So I'm excited to see that. I can't wait. So with you. Yeah. What's your first favorite, Katie? So my first favorite is one that we talked about when we crowdsourced face moisturizers with SPF in it. And my friend Casey sent me a couple and so I picked one out order to... And I'm actually wearing it today. And I love that. I wear it anytime I just want to do a light makeup. So I'm recommending myself. I'm putting it back out there and recommending the color science. We talked about this. It is crazy to watch it change from white lotion to flesh color. Yeah. My sister uses that. And I've used it a couple of times. So yeah, I don't think... I don't remember it ever making my eyes water. No. It's really great. I loved it. Not that I doubted Casey, but I just wanted to bring that back up because I know we're getting into the sunshine months where we're out in the sun a lot. And I just wanted to say yes to that one. I love it. I love it. I love it. So definitely get it if you're looking for a moisturizer that's hypoallergenic and has some SPF in it. The second thing is we are going to be participating at my church in a health fair that is aimed a lot at our immigrant population and our unhoused population here in Chris and Dilly counties. And so one of those... One of the things I wanted to do was get a T-shirt of some kind that identified myself as a preacher or someone who was safe because I didn't want to wear my collar because that just... I don't know. I don't know. And it's a fair. It'll be outside in in July. So I didn't want to be hot. So I asked my friend Sarah. He's also a nine-month-old-just-pastor where she gets her really great T-shirts. She's got some that are in rainbow lettering said, this pastor loves you. She's got a great collection. So she gave me several and this one, I think I'm going to order one of some of them. Maybe I could spend my whole paycheck on some T-shirts that I've found doing this, but I won't. But it's called the Happy Givers. And they have lots of T-shirts, not just for people who are in the ministry. They have lots of T-shirts that would be great for anybody. And so the two that I think I'm going to do... Well, or one that I know I'm going to do, it's just a list of things that says, love thy. And it says, love thy immigrant neighbor, love thy black neighbor, love thy gay neighbor, love thy... You know, Muslim neighbor. And it's just a whole-long list. And then the last one just says, love thy blank neighbor. Fill in the blank. Anything. Love your neighbor. That's it. Love that T-shirt. I think I'm going to wear that then because it starts with immigrant. But the other thing they have is a T-shirt that just says, listen to women preach. And I like that very much. But there are some really good ones on there, not just those two. They have a whole bunch of different ones. So definitely give them a check on the internet. They also donate a lot of money. So it's not just for money making. It's for giving. So go do that. It's... It reminds me of our bitter Southern T-shirts. So... Yep. Yep, that's what I'm going to do. So the other thing that I'm loving right now on the campground especially is spraying, it is dogwood blooming time and a zelia blooming time. And because we're in the woods, we have a lot of natural a zelias and we have dogwoods just scattered throughout and it is just beautiful around here. And yes, it's colony and yes, that's nice all the time because everything is blooming. But I really am not sure I care because it's so pretty. So I hope that wherever you are it is blooming and beautiful just like it is here because it's just grand. Well, I will say we get a lot of pollen. But we... And a whole lot. I'm... Susie does have a beautiful hedge of a zelias at her house. Yeah. But I walked... I got to her house Monday and it was dark and then Tuesday morning when I let Gracie out. I was like, oh, look at this beautiful zelias. I love that. It's like a wedding moment tree. There we go. I love that. I love it. Um, real pretty, I'm sure. Well, it was pretty. I saw the picture. That was really... And it's the same around here. Things are just... There's some that are about to curspcode you can tell. You can see the little itty bitty bits of color. And in the next week or so, I'm sure it's going to be glorious. So I'm really excited to see it. The last thing I was looking at... I made... Oh, look. I put together a she-rock for the back of my door. Let me just... How handy am I? Good job. Emma. Um, but I was looking at my shoes the other day and I thought, you know, I don't have like any summer sandals or open-toed anything. I got a bunch of hay duds which were fine, but I need some comfortable summer shoes. Something I can walk a lot in, but they're cute. Um, and so I thought I would crowd-sourge that. So I'm going to... When I post about this episode, I'm going to ask that question. Um, I would love for y'all to give us all the examples of your favorite summer sandals and shoes. Right. Yep, Amanda, if you have any, of course, they can be in your favorites next week. Well, if we haven't, that's the other thing I was going to mention. We have thought about having high-mandy on the podcast and see how that goes. We may skip it and let Mandy recover. We may ask a listener to jump in. I don't know. We're just going to play about here and see how it's going to see him and Mandy's feeling. We don't want to make her do something that she's not comfortable doing. I really, honest and truly though, want a picture of her in that no-sling so bad. I'm just not going to video my nasal rinses. There we go. On the worldwide web. The world of the wide web. There we go. Well, um, so anyway, that's kind of what's happening with the podcast. So I will post that and we'll be on the lookout for your shoe recommendations and then we'll see how next week goes and see what's going on. Maybe your sissy can be on there. We don't listen but we love her. So who knows. There is no telling what next week we'll bring. We'll keep you posted though. It's tomorrow's opening day at baseball. Oh, yeah. Tomorrow's opening day. So that should be fun for you to watch. Has a kite. Right. Hopefully I'm going to be a slutty. Yeah. I hope so. Yeah, we'll keep you posted. I mean, you know, we love you very much and I'm so glad you're getting right. I've heard maybe you'll finally feel better and. We look forward to seeing you with your face. Whatever. What was that? The migraine mask on and your nose. Yeah. Good luck. I'm a good luck. It'll be great. It'll be great. But we love you and we'll be praying for you and we'll be updating everybody and say they'll know that you're all good. Great. Thanks y'all. We love y'all. Go find your people.
