0:21
Hi. Monster Kate up here.
0:27
Oh my gosh. Small little friend.
0:29
OK, that's too much. Oh my gosh.
0:31
OK, so starting off, the reason if anyone is watching and saw
0:34
Bethany down way below is because Bobby had to come in and
0:37
fix her microphone and they put the screen up.
0:39
She's like, should we do it like this?
0:40
I'm like, yes, yes, we should. How are you?
0:45
I'm doing pretty good. How are you?
0:47
I'm good. I saw that you had flowers.
0:49
Yes, I feel like this is like it's been way longer than a week
0:53
since we've talked. I know we've.
0:55
Texted a little bit but I think we normally text more throughout
0:57
the week so that's probably why it felt that way.
1:00
But I'm like, I feel like we haven't talked in forever.
1:03
I know I'm I'm so grateful for this me.
1:05
Too. And then sometimes I'm like,
1:07
'cause there's like things I want to update you on.
1:09
And then sometimes I feel like I hate being that friend that like
1:11
always has something going on that's like.
1:14
Slightly. Negative.
1:15
It's just like, I just feel, you know, there's like some people
1:19
that you are like it's always something with them.
1:21
But like, it's usually like they're like the self loathing
1:23
like, oh, you know, I try not to obviously be that, but I'm just
1:27
like, this is just what like life is like throwing at us
1:30
right now. It's nothing crazy, but I've
1:31
been having like this right like this pain in my right side of my
1:35
abdomen, like kind of under my ribs.
1:37
And at first I thought it was like muscular, but more and more
1:40
I'm like, is it gallbladder? I don't know, because I've been
1:43
getting like just more like weird crampy stuff and I'm
1:47
noticing it more at night and like I'm waking up with like
1:50
sweats, like I am sweating in my sleep, just like weird stuff.
1:54
And I'm like something doesn't feel right.
1:56
So I've been like like today this morning.
1:58
That's why I didn't know if you're gonna be able to record
2:00
earlier. I went in for an ultrasound.
2:03
I haven't gotten like any results or anything yet, but I
2:06
had like blood tests done on Sunday.
2:08
Ended up going to the urgent care 'cause it really was
2:10
bothering me. So I'm just like, I if it's
2:13
anything like if anything comes back and it's like, I hope it's
2:16
just gallbladder and that something is easy that you get
2:19
it out and then you're fine. But I'm just like could could do
2:23
without this. How is your your like mindset
2:25
with stuff like this? Do you jump to the worst case
2:27
scenario or are you just like? Used to, I didn't used to.
2:31
I do a little bit more now just from like not even just the
2:33
worst case scenarios, but it is just more triggering going in
2:36
for like scan type stuff, health type stuff, you know, even just
2:40
the stuff of bringing birdie in and everything's like, oh, it'll
2:43
probably you know, this type of stuff.
2:45
It's that when people are constantly telling me like it's
2:47
probably nothing. That type of stuff's really like
2:50
anxiety inducing for me because it's like that's what we always
2:53
have been told. And then there's negative stuff
2:55
that comes from it. So that kind of stuff.
2:58
But even actually like going in for like the appointments and
3:01
stuff like that, I keep my like, I'm like, OK, like it's get in
3:06
there. I'd rather the information like.
3:08
Rather than. Sitting and like not knowing and
3:10
then things are just like happening in my body that I have
3:12
no like control over. But yeah, so that's just been
3:17
irritating 'cause I'm like, I don't know, I'm hoping it's just
3:20
something where it is more muscular and my brain's making
3:22
me think that it's a like there's more going on and it's
3:25
just a weird spot. But of course, when you start
3:29
looking at like doctor Google and stuff, you're like, like I
3:32
need to, it's not even. And that also doesn't make me go
3:35
too crazy, but some of the symptoms I'm like that is kind
3:39
of pushing more towards gallbladder than just like
3:41
muscular. Yeah.
3:43
And I did talk to my parents because I didn't think we had
3:45
any gallbladder stuff in our family.
3:47
I guess to my aunts had to get their gallbladders out.
3:50
So I think older than me, but I don't know exactly.
3:57
So we'll see when. You get results.
4:02
They said like it could take about a week.
4:04
So I'm like, well, I guess they're not totally concerned if
4:07
they're like, 'cause you know, like you see things on like TV
4:09
and stuff with people like like I need to go in immediately in
4:12
your for your appendix or your gallbladder and you're getting
4:15
it out like right away. So that's kind of where I'm
4:18
like, OK, like if everyone's feeling like I can wait a week,
4:22
then it sounds. Yeah, like Grey's Anatomy taught
4:24
me, 'cause it's so realistic, obviously.
4:27
Or if they see something, they call in the people or they're
4:30
like we're. Going to emergency surgery right
4:32
away. Let.
4:32
Me. Go talk to my supervisor real
4:34
quick. Yes, yeah, totally.
4:37
So I think it's one of those things and then just it like
4:41
reminds me over and over again how much you, like, have to
4:43
advocate for yourself because even though everyone that I've
4:45
been, like, talking to has been really nice, no one's talking to
4:49
each other. Like every new person I talk to,
4:52
it's reiterating, you know, calling this person, calling
4:56
that person. I'm like, no one's calling me
4:57
back. I'm like, you know, so I just
5:00
felt kind of like the first appointment I went into, I was
5:02
like, OK, I'm gonna be proactive.
5:04
And this was last Wednesday. So after we spoke, I had an
5:07
appointment. Oh, no, we spoke on Tuesday or
5:10
something. Yeah.
5:11
Yeah. So it was the day after you and
5:13
I spoke. OK.
5:15
What a break. I called or I like reached out
5:19
to like my primary care person and was like, you know, here's
5:23
what I'm kind of experiencing. And I went and I couldn't see my
5:25
actual doctor just 'cause they're booked out so far, but I
5:28
was able to see someone and I felt so dismissed.
5:31
Like like she had no time for me.
5:34
And I'm just like, so I was like showing her and I'm like, and
5:36
I'm not in like extreme pain, but I was like, I am very in
5:39
tune with my body. Like I really know something
5:41
feels off. And I just felt so like, get get
5:44
her out of here type of thing. Like she's like, everything
5:46
feels great. You look great.
5:47
And like I'm like, what? And I said, OK, well, like I, I
5:53
feel like I need more than just you touching it and physically
5:56
looking at me because yes, physically I look totally fine.
5:59
And so I was like, what would you do for a gallbladder?
6:01
Would you do like ACT, which I don't know.
6:05
And she kind of like laughed at me when I said ACT.
6:07
She's like, no, I would not order ACT for that.
6:10
And I'm like. Oh, no, I was like, OK, well,
6:12
what would you order then? Because I'm not a doctor.
6:16
I, this is not my field. Like, that's why I am here.
6:20
And she kind of like took a step back when she realized that I
6:24
was not gonna just like let her like, and I don't know, that may
6:27
not have not have been her intention, but still it's like,
6:30
I'm in here. This is this is your job.
6:33
Like I would never talk to any of my clients that way of like,
6:36
no, I wouldn't do that with my dog.
6:38
I would be like, I understand where you're coming from, but
6:40
like, here's probably approach I would take.
6:42
Hello. So she's like, it would probably
6:45
be more of like an ultrasound. I'm like, OK, well, then I would
6:47
like you to order me an ultrasound because something
6:49
feels off and I want to get it backed.
6:52
She's like, she's like, I think that's reasonable.
6:54
I'm like Yup. Oh my God, I'm so annoyed with
6:58
her. I know and so my normal doctor
7:01
which I honestly haven't seen in probably over 2 years, but I'm
7:04
seeing her in June 30th. Like I know it's not her job but
7:07
like I do really like her. I'm going to say something like
7:10
I don't know if you guys have ever gotten feedback from this
7:12
person but like I could tell the person that was taking like my
7:15
vitals and stuff also felt a certain way about this person
7:19
because she like I didn't know that was going to be the person
7:22
seeing me. She like popped her head and
7:23
she's like, can we get going to the lady, like taking my
7:26
information and the I know. And the lady looked at her like,
7:30
Yep, like I'm just putting in all of her supplements, like
7:33
doing my job. And she was like the first lady
7:35
I saw was being like super sweet, very nice, a little slow
7:37
to type, but it's like she was listening to everything I was
7:40
saying. So I was just like that kind of
7:43
like started it off and just made me feel a certain way.
7:47
And then when I decided to go to the urgent care on Sunday, the
7:49
only reason I decided to go was because that night before is the
7:53
first night I woke up with like, severe night sweats.
7:57
Like I was drenched. You know, you got like a little
7:59
hot at night. I was head to toe, like wet.
8:04
Yes. It was very weird.
8:06
And I had never experienced anything like that before.
8:08
And like, is this like, am I going to like early
8:10
perimenopause? Like, what is going on?
8:13
And so it did make me feel a little bit panicky in the middle
8:15
of the night. So Casey got me like an ice pack
8:17
and stuff. And he's like, well, if you
8:19
sleep through the night, OK. And like, we don't need it for
8:21
some reason. Go in.
8:22
Like, maybe we go to the urgent care tomorrow, which was Sunday.
8:25
I called them ahead of time just saying like, hey, if I come in
8:29
and they think I need an ultrasound, is that something
8:32
that you guys can do here? And they're like, yes, if the
8:35
doctor thinks that it's something that needs to be done,
8:38
great. Go get called back.
8:40
It's going pretty, you know, quick and short.
8:43
The lady says to me, you know, we don't do ultrasounds on the
8:46
weekend. I go no, I don't know that I
8:48
don't work here. Why would you know that?
8:51
Why would I know that? Like I don't frequent the urgent
8:54
care, thank goodness, but I'm like, Nope, I've literally never
8:57
had an ultrasound in my life. So Oh my God, I know.
9:02
So I'm just like, and I don't want to be, I don't want to be
9:05
ragging on healthcare and I don't want to be ragging like
9:07
the people typically. Like even the person that did my
9:10
ultrasound today, she was so sweet.
9:11
Like most people I've talked to have been really great, but I'm
9:14
just like, you're damned if you do, You're damned if you don't.
9:17
Like everyone says like if you notice something go in, but then
9:21
you go in as a healthy person and you're kind of like, why
9:25
aren't you sicker is how I kind of felt like.
9:28
So I should wait until it's emergent to go in.
9:30
Like that's just how it felt to me.
9:32
It's like everyone's kind of like why?
9:34
Like why is she wasting her time?
9:36
But I'm like, I'm not a cry wolf type of person.
9:39
Like I very much don't want to go in.
9:43
Like if I didn't honestly have especially as a woman go in like
9:47
ever, I really wouldn't want to and I really wouldn't.
9:50
But it's just something you got to do that you don't want to do.
9:54
So I know. So I'll keep you posted.
9:57
So it's more of that that's like irritating me.
9:59
It's like feeling like this is an inconvenience for me as well,
10:03
but like feeling like I'm inconveniencing people when it's
10:07
like I something feels off, something feels wrong and that
10:11
shouldn't be what I'm met with. Yeah, well, when it feels like
10:15
maybe it looks minimal to someone else, but to you, you're
10:18
so in tune with your body it feels it's a big deal.
10:20
Totally. Yeah.
10:21
And it's just like, you know, and not that I need to explain
10:24
to everyone, but it's like we are a little bit more sensitive
10:27
when something, something's happening.
10:29
Like honestly, if this was two years ago and I'd probably be
10:31
like, I'll just keep waiting it out a little longer.
10:33
But I don't want to do that because I need a Peace of Mind.
10:37
And if it is something, I want to know what it is so that we
10:39
can, you know, address it. But besides that, I've had a
10:44
constant and it's probably just cause I've been like stressed
10:47
from like all this constant eye twitch for a week, a week, a
10:51
week. Bethany, I'm driving myself
10:54
nuts. Is it twinkling right now?
10:57
Oh, like, yes, like you can't fully see it.
11:00
So I even like brought that up and she's like, I don't see it.
11:03
I'm like I I'm like, I don't know what to tell you.
11:05
It is twitching. I just haven't feel like, like,
11:10
doesn't matter what I say because no one's gonna believe
11:12
me. Oh no, a week I've had twitching
11:16
before where it's like, I don't know, for 10 minutes.
11:20
Well, I will say it comes and goes.
11:21
Like if I close my eyes, it's done.
11:23
And so I do know like they ended up like taking labs and stuff on
11:26
Sunday. I'm probably dehydrated even
11:28
though I drink a lot of water, but like not probably enough.
11:31
It's been a lot warmer for us, which is awesome and amazing,
11:33
but I'm just like sweating more. So I just like need to make sure
11:36
I'm taking care of myself and I think that I do, but you know,
11:40
do you have? Electrolytes in your water right
11:41
now. I put lemon and a little bit of
11:44
pink Himalayan salt. OK.
11:46
So that's like natural electrolytes.
11:48
And then I'm only doing like, like literally this is still my
11:51
coffee from this morning. I'm just doing like slow sipping
11:54
just so I'm not doing too much caffeine.
11:57
I don't know, I'm like something's affecting me.
11:59
Oh, I would totally be like thinking about that, yeah.
12:01
Yeah. So you know how like it's
12:03
probably about over two years ago, definitely over two years
12:06
ago when I was like really religious about like tracking my
12:09
food. And that's when I first started
12:10
really putting on muscle and like leaning out and stuff.
12:14
I never got to the point where it was like anything extreme
12:18
when I'm like, no, I can't have that.
12:19
I can't have that. I just figured out how to like
12:20
fit it in. So I remember feeling like super
12:22
in control when I did that. So I decided to start tracking
12:26
this week just because I'm like, it gives me something that I can
12:29
focus on making sure I'm also, I was, I don't think I was eating
12:33
enough. So like making sure I'm eating
12:36
enough, making sure that like if they ask questions about my
12:39
diet, like I can be like, well, I can tell you exactly what I've
12:42
eaten. So I'm doing that just 'cause
12:44
it's makes me feel good. I like knowing that I'm getting
12:47
enough protein. And I realized I was definitely
12:50
like way under eating carbs, which some people are like low
12:53
carb everything, but that's not how my body works.
12:57
So that makes me feel like, OK, I can focus on that and it makes
13:01
me feel good and feels more energized when I'm know what I'm
13:04
eating and stuff. But yeah, that's my little
13:08
update. So like, not me, just like 12
13:12
minutes of just like, hey, this is what I've got going on,
13:16
something new. Stuff in life happens, you know?
13:20
But then it's like the same thing where it's like all that
13:23
can be going on and also awesome things can be happening.
13:26
I know same so. I'm glad that I really am a
13:29
person that can like break them up, but I'm not letting like my
13:34
appointment today. Drag you down.
13:36
Trickle into my whole day. It's just like, we'll see what
13:39
you know when it comes. So yeah, like even yesterday I
13:43
think I need to replant the flower pot that I planted.
13:46
That you showed on Instagram. Yes, so I was so excited because
13:52
I had two dogs that were supposed to come on Monday and
13:54
now they're coming Friday. So this beginning of this week
13:57
I've only had one training dog and two boarding dogs, which,
13:59
you know, for me it's like a break.
14:01
Yeah, so it's been really nice of just like yesterday after I
14:05
walked the dogs and worked with the training dog, I went to the
14:07
greenhouse and needed to get because we went this Sunday and
14:11
got a bunch of plants. And then we realized I needed
14:13
one more in a in another section.
14:15
And I'm like, you know what? I've been like wanting to get
14:18
some flowers, but I don't really have any pots to put them in.
14:21
I'm like, I'm gonna buy myself a pot.
14:23
I'm gonna buy all these flowers. And so I got back and I'm like,
14:27
I'm gonna put it together and bring the dogs out to hang out
14:29
with me. But the pot is so deep and I
14:33
didn't want to use all of my potting soil to like just like
14:36
fill up the whole thing. And so I saw someone say like
14:40
use the cartoons that the flowers to put at the bottom and
14:42
then put some dirt and then the flowers on top.
14:44
I'm like, oh, that's a great idea.
14:46
Oh, that's so I did that, but I think I did way too much plastic
14:50
because now there's only like this much dirt under my flowers
14:54
and I'm like, wait, when I'm watering them, the water's now
14:58
just going down to the bottom where the plastic is.
15:01
Yes. So I'm thinking I'm going to
15:03
need to well, Casey just replanted or planted the new
15:08
lilac bushes that we got. And so I'm like, can you dig up
15:11
some extra dirt for me so I have it to like put in my pot?
15:15
So I'm gonna need to replant that after this, But I'm like
15:17
that's OK. Oh, that's so fun.
15:19
Yeah, have you ever done POTS? I just did.
15:23
I got my first couple ones for my mint that I put into my beds
15:29
that just went insane and I just didn't know at the time.
15:33
Like someone I know, like Pinterest told me, do not
15:36
contagious. Yeah, it goes crazy.
15:39
So I got it all up and put it in pots.
15:42
I love that they're just like plastic pots cause terracotta
15:47
pots they look so pretty but they're like a pretty good chunk
15:50
of money for a terracotta. Pot, Well, the one I bought
15:53
yesterday was just 'cause it was at the actual thing.
15:56
I was like splurge, whatever, getting it.
16:00
But I'm like, Oh my God, this thing is not cheap.
16:03
I did. Not know that about pots like.
16:06
I mean, I guess I would expect, like, a big one, like,
16:08
especially at like a actual greenhouse, but I'm like, Oh my
16:12
gosh, that's a lot. Yeah, terracottas do look so
16:16
pretty. So pretty.
16:17
Yeah. So I did one for our front front
16:20
porch because we redid some stuff in our front yard and I've
16:23
never been someone. I see it all the time where
16:25
people have like a pretty pot with pretty flowers on the front
16:28
porch. So I did that.
16:30
How nice. So yeah, I like how that looks.
16:34
It's. Interesting because my mom's
16:35
always been a potted flowers like we've always had.
16:39
Every year it's been like she gets some and puts them on the
16:42
and then by the front door and I just never have done it.
16:47
And like Casey's mom's always been like super into flowers.
16:49
She does some pots but also does them all in her garden and
16:51
stuff. I think it's honestly just
16:53
because Casey's more of the planter than I am.
16:55
So like all of the big bushes and stuff and like anything like
16:59
garden Y it's always been him. But this year, I don't know, I
17:02
just felt like I wanted some bright flowers and we just been,
17:06
you know, taking care of our yard and stuff and I'm like, I
17:09
want to do it. That's so fun I.
17:11
Know so now I'm like I need to repot just because I'm like I
17:14
want them to last. Jeez, I just needed to take a
17:19
mortgage out of these flowers I purchased.
17:22
Yeah, for a bit because. Because after I my friend told
17:26
me she was pregnant. Which by the way, I have to say
17:28
this because I hate sometimes sharing stuff like this because
17:33
I would never want whatever you to decide.
17:35
And whatever happens, if you have like a little announcement
17:38
to make, don't worry about me being sad.
17:41
I won't. OK, this is the, this is the
17:45
overthinking part of me where I 'cause that did affect me, I
17:49
think for different reasons, where it just felt like she was
17:52
my one friend that I thought was never gonna have a baby.
17:55
So. So I was like, I'm just gonna
17:58
reward myself with going to the garden store every day, Every
18:05
day. Yeah, you've been getting a lot
18:07
of stuff. I, I I I had to stop.
18:11
Like that's why I've got your dog coming up soon.
18:14
Yes. To pay for my planting
18:16
addiction. Yeah, but it's been so fun.
18:20
My mom's gotten into it. Yeah, So that's been really
18:25
cool. So we can talk about seedlings.
18:27
Yes, all of the things. Well, what else has been going
18:30
on for you? I don't know if you saw it, so I
18:33
did a post yesterday on Instagram, Yeah.
18:37
But I think it's changing my. Life.
18:39
Yeah, I think it's changed my life in that way.
18:42
A comment section. Well, one, it's actually made me
18:45
look at my mom differently, which was a surprising side
18:48
effect. I was just thinking like,
18:50
because I asked this question like 15 years ago on Facebook
18:53
and I was it was like, oh wow, this is so nice.
18:56
Like just hearing the other side.
18:57
It's probably just like talking about the negative stuff of
19:00
having dogs. Yeah, But the people that are
19:03
being so honest and open. And it just makes me think about
19:06
moms and my mom in particular, and how I know there's so much
19:12
goodness that comes from having kids, but then also the the
19:15
stress and the worrying and all of that.
19:18
And I just don't think I've thought of it that way with my
19:20
mom, so. Yeah, yeah, Kristen, my sister
19:24
definitely said that. Like, I mean, we both always had
19:26
a close relationship with my mom, but like she definitely
19:30
said like becoming a mom definitely changed a lot in the
19:32
way that she like looked at mom and stuff and like had a
19:34
different perspective and stuff. And obviously like when you have
19:38
a super involved dad and stuff, but so many of the early years,
19:42
it's like that physical and mental and emotional pull that
19:47
it really is on the mom. It's.
19:50
Wild. Yeah, it's crazy.
19:53
And like I was thinking back to my mom was a great mom.
19:56
And so I know I've talked about her some on this podcast in a
19:58
way where it's just like talking and whatever relationships and
20:01
I'm always hoping it's relatable for someone.
20:03
But there are so many great things that she did where I just
20:06
think like, Oh my God. Like she also had a full time
20:09
job and like my parents would fight about money growing up.
20:13
And I, I've always thought about that as like a, a negative,
20:16
like, Oh my God, like they've. They imprinted on me that money
20:20
is stressful and all this stuff where of course it's stressful
20:24
like having kids. And so it just I was not
20:27
expecting to feel that way from that comment section because
20:30
then some people are like, go check out this one account.
20:34
It's like girl with the list or something where it's all the
20:36
reasons why not having kids is so great.
20:38
And I was like, I don't really want that.
20:40
Like I don't need to know. I think kids are great.
20:43
I just wanted to hear, like, what are some of the messy
20:46
things that I just don't hear? And yeah, but yeah, so it's been
20:51
fascinating. Yeah, that's one thing.
20:53
Like I didn't really go into the comment section.
20:56
Like I saw obviously some of the girls that I also like love and
20:59
stuff comment, but like I feel like I don't want to base any of
21:03
my decisions on on that because it's like, of course it's gonna
21:07
be it would be hard. Yes yeah, of course it would be
21:10
amazing. Of course it's unconditional.
21:12
Of course you are gonna have like this extreme worry and
21:15
stuff like that, but I totally get wanting to be like,
21:21
especially if you're surrounded by someone where it's like like
21:24
not that you're not happy for your friend and stuff, but like
21:27
make you feel a certain way. Yeah, yeah.
21:30
Are you guys the same age you and your friend?
21:32
Yep. OK, so she's. 40 younger, she's
21:34
40. OK, so they weren't trying,
21:38
which is always that's also something where it's always
21:40
like, damn, like, well, well, and The funny thing is that
21:44
Bobby and I so I came home and I've never been interested in
21:49
IVF or like I just to me, that's a huge chunk of money.
21:52
And if I really, really wanted it and I was like, it's all I
21:56
wanted in life was to be a mom. This would be a different story,
21:59
even like adoption. So we, cuz I, I came home and I
22:04
was like crying talking to Bobby about it and I was like, it just
22:07
makes me feel so weird. Not weird.
22:09
It's like bringing up these things like should we try more?
22:11
Like we both got tested early on, but then we really didn't
22:15
track. We really were just kind of like
22:17
what happens? It happens.
22:19
We were literally talking about money and we signed up for we
22:23
Bobby set up a schedule appointment at a place IVF
22:27
place. We spent that day thinking about
22:29
it like what this would look like, maybe just getting
22:32
checked. And then the next day we were
22:35
like, no, we don't really want to do that.
22:38
So it's like, I think just going through the emotions of what
22:42
that feels like. And cuz one thing I said, I was
22:47
like, well, cuz the idea of getting a fit dog is insane to
22:50
us. And I was like, think about
22:51
that. Like if we got a puppy, doesn't
22:53
that sound insane? And he's like, yeah, yeah, OK,
22:56
thinking of it that way. Yeah.
22:58
So I was like, a baby is gonna be probably 10 times as hard, 10
23:02
times as great. But like so that put into
23:05
perspective. Where I was like, I don't.
23:07
Think I want to do that. Yeah, when it's like I, there's
23:11
this one post that I've seen in the past of like, you're always
23:14
gonna like have not the mourning of one or the other, but like, I
23:19
think that's one of the biggest things with like Casey and I is
23:22
like I, I hate the thought that it's like having a child is what
23:29
brings you the value for the rest of your life.
23:32
I think it would and I think it does.
23:34
But I also think that our life that we've had, we will be
23:37
married 10 years this year has been incredible not having a
23:43
child. So it's like whichever way we
23:45
end up going or anyone ends up going, it's like you're going to
23:48
miss a part of either of those lives that you don't have any
23:52
more or that you never end up having.
23:54
So like with people like you and Bobby, it's also a great example
23:58
of like just people that would be really amazing parents.
24:00
Doesn't mean you have to be parents in that way, you know,
24:04
your different kind of parents. But like, it's OK to like always
24:07
miss kind of what that would have been while also living and
24:10
leading an extremely fulfilling life.
24:14
Yeah, I I totally think so too. Thank you and also.
24:18
You like to sleep too much. You're an early riser though,
24:23
that really helps. I literally love sleep, yeah.
24:26
You love to, but honestly, you'd probably sleep kind of like as
24:30
long as you have a child that sleeps their bedtime. 7:00 PM,
24:33
You're like, same. You're not the like, I need to
24:38
stay up for a couple of hours to get my me time and you'd be
24:41
like, yeah, let's go to bed. That sounds great.
24:44
Well, I think like, that is one thing that really stood out to
24:47
me 'cause yesterday I haven't had wine in forever and like, I
24:51
love a fun cocktail and. I know I wanna go get a bee's
24:55
knees with you so bad. So bad that's.
24:57
All I wanna do right now. But yesterday I was like, 'cause
25:02
I'm telling you, after reading that comment section, I was
25:05
like, Oh my God. Like one of my biggest fears is
25:09
I'm gonna look back and regret, have regret about not being as
25:16
grateful for my life and what I have no matter what other things
25:19
I want right now. You know, like, do you wonder?
25:22
If that has oh, sorry, not to interrupt, but do you think
25:24
that's something to do with like how tight you are were with your
25:28
dad as well as like knowing that kind of dynamic of like I had
25:33
that such like you had a relationship with your dad that
25:37
like people literally like long for like you have like, you
25:45
know, so it's just like, I wonder if that also impacts you
25:48
of like, you know, a parent relationship that is so like
25:52
monumental and amazing. Yeah.
25:54
Because like I think about some of that stuff too is like, you
25:57
know, certain dynamics of like things I wouldn't want and then
25:59
things that it's like like, you know, now I see like my parents
26:03
watching us as adults and I know how like even probably sad a
26:07
little bit just, you know, from when we were younger, but also
26:10
how much they love watching us. So that kind of stuff like plays
26:14
a role for me. Oh yeah, Well, I'm more
26:16
fascinated by like, the older age of kids.
26:19
Like, yeah, it's not so much that younger kid parks.
26:24
I think that would be amazing. I think sleepless nights, yes,
26:27
all of that. But I do love the cutesiness of
26:29
kids and stuff. But it's like when they get
26:31
older and you don't know how they'll turn out or.
26:35
And I just have that experience in my own family where my
26:38
brother was a little bit different with my parents than I
26:40
was. Didn't talk to them for seven
26:42
years. Like, that was so terrible for
26:44
my parents. But my dad, actually, I didn't
26:47
have a good relationship with him until I married Bobby.
26:53
Wow. But like you guys didn't have a
26:55
not good relationship. You guys just weren't as close,
26:57
right? Or did you guys have like a not
26:58
good relationship? We had a good no, we had a good
27:01
relationship. Like he was always a great dad.
27:03
Like I just always remember he never lost his temper.
27:07
Like I remember one time when I was in high school and I decided
27:12
to stop playing basketball, and I remember he didn't talk to me
27:15
for six months because he was so upset with.
27:17
Talk to you. Didn't talk to me like would
27:20
ignore me, which is not like. I know that's not who.
27:25
It was no, that's not who he was.
27:27
And like with love, like that's like neglect, like that's like,
27:33
like that's very like trauma that you wouldn't, you know?
27:37
'Cause that's how we. That's why you like to also
27:39
overcome communicate with Bobby is like the silence is gonna be
27:43
like. We drew that into a huge
27:46
argument. I don't think he'll mind saying
27:48
this on Monday. Take care.
27:50
All the things I share. Oh my gosh, I feel like you come
27:53
here and you're like, I'm gardening and I'm so happy and
27:56
I'm like, so I'm in another doctor's appointment.
27:59
Fuck me. So no, please tell me about your
28:02
argument. I hope it was bad.
28:04
So we. Were you guys still love each
28:07
other so it's fine. We're totally fine now.
28:09
I wouldn't, I don't think I'd talk about this on air.
28:13
I would tell you, but we're totally fine now.
28:16
But we got into argument because sometimes what Bobby will do,
28:20
because we just communicate differently in some ways.
28:24
Like we're obviously very compatible, but very opposite.
28:27
So in a lot of ways. So I brought up something
28:30
because I really want to get our fence redone.
28:32
There's holes in it. I'm a little embarrassed of it.
28:35
I've been trying to cover it up. Yeah, I'm covering up with
28:38
flowers, like trying to do all the things.
28:40
And so I brought it up in the pool.
28:45
It's all like, bring it up in conversation.
28:46
I don't know, every month or so. And I can tell when he doesn't
28:49
want to talk about it 'cause he'll change the subject, which
28:52
is infuriating. Yes.
28:55
It makes me feel dismissed. So I brought it up.
28:57
I just said it like, Oh yeah, well, we should like, do the
29:01
fence sometime. We're in floaties.
29:03
And he's like, basically this is what it felt like.
29:06
Look, the sun's out today. So it was like, you know, he
29:09
didn't say that, but this. Guy is slow and.
29:13
It's something like what? Like I don't, I don't respond
29:16
very well to that. So I dove right in and I was
29:18
like, can we talk about this like where you just kind of go
29:22
silent and you change the subject When I want to talk
29:24
about something like this, I know it's the money thing.
29:27
And so we got it just went sideways pretty quick where we
29:33
were both. Like picture like Bobby in an
29:36
actual like argument. Does he raise his voice at all?
29:41
Well, it's not. A very like.
29:43
A raising voice, but he seems like mean.
29:46
Like at one point at the end I started crying and I was like,
29:48
why are you being so? Mean to me I cry if I there's
29:50
any sort of argument. It's just like, he's well
29:53
because he's always so nice to me.
29:55
So it's like if he's being mean to me, it really stands out.
29:58
So I'm like, why are you being mean to me?
30:00
And I'm crying and he storms out of the pool.
30:06
I would love to hear his perspective of this.
30:10
And so and then luckily, because obviously, and I don't think
30:14
anyone likes being in an argument, but no, then after I
30:18
stayed in the pool for a little bit and I was like, how long can
30:20
I stay in this pool just to like protest?
30:23
Like 2 minutes probably. I can't.
30:25
I'm not gonna last long. And that's why I'm so, well, I
30:28
mean, I'm tan to me, I feel like too much time.
30:31
But so an argument in the pool is probably the best place to do
30:34
it for a little sun tan. But.
30:35
No kidding. And then we talked it through
30:37
and and everything's fine. It's just like was.
30:40
It even like there obviously was.
30:41
It was something more than just the fence.
30:45
Yeah, it's the whole thing of when I say an idea about
30:49
something that I want to spend money on on the House, even if
30:52
it's a bigger, let's say it's $10,000, I want to talk it
30:56
through. I don't want it to be a, we
30:59
don't have to come up with a perfect game plan, but I want
31:01
there to be some discussion of like, OK, let's figure it out,
31:04
yes. Just so we know even where we're
31:06
starting and then we can decide from there.
31:08
Yeah, and it's not even really the fence.
31:11
Like I literally could go with the fence being like this for a
31:12
while if we had to. It's more the point of I need
31:16
you to hear what I'm saying, acknowledge it, not dismiss it.
31:19
So, so it was actually really good.
31:20
And this is the part that is like so dysfunctional.
31:23
I think sometimes about me and the idea of arguing.
31:26
I hate it, but I love it. Well, it's because in a
31:30
relationship where it's like you guys both have the end goal of
31:34
figuring it out, that's why you love it.
31:38
It's not you wouldn't love it if it was someone that you were not
31:41
going to end up finding seeing eye to eye with.
31:43
Yeah, no, for sure, Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
31:45
So and it because it genuinely does like even our last therapy
31:49
session, which was this past Friday, we were just talking
31:53
about like how we handle conflicts and she was just
31:55
asking and stuff. And I said like, not to sound
31:57
like cliche, but we don't have like a lot of conflict.
31:59
And like it's more of like, OK, let's talk about nitpicking
32:02
versus an actual conflict. Those two things of how we deal
32:05
with them very different. But yeah, we both even said like
32:10
after we have an actual conversation, when it's
32:12
something that's like the uncomfortable, we both feel so
32:15
much more connected and feel like so much better.
32:18
You just feel like a weight kind of just like.
32:22
Well, it's like, I think sometimes you have to go through
32:25
like the messy part of it feeling super uncomfortable and.
32:28
Messy middle, just like training.
32:30
Oh. My God this is basically a dog
32:33
training podcast. We're we're a dog training
32:35
podcast. So anytime we've talked about
32:38
like conflict with your partner or something like that, just put
32:42
the word in dog. Yeah, see.
32:44
Through yeah, Oh my God. Yeah.
32:47
So everything's fine. But it was just, it was
32:49
actually, it's a really good thing.
32:52
And so, yeah. Yeah, we just like this like
32:59
unload and I'm sure that some people are like this isn't that
33:03
much like sharing, but like we share personal things on here.
33:07
Yeah, I just share it a lot, but I don't why am I so low.
33:10
I feel like I'm like. So I look gargantuan.
33:16
Oh, now I look too tall. You're like, what's the
33:19
temperature like there? Is it getting really hot?
33:22
Oh, so hot. It's stupid hot.
33:25
Is your pool like? 90. 2 Water, it's 92.
33:30
Well, right now it's 89. High is 92.
33:33
It was 89 here yesterday. That is wild.
33:37
But there's no way our humidity probably feels like yours yet.
33:41
So it's drier where you are. Right.
33:44
Like we do get humidity for sure.
33:46
It's not dry like out West dry, but like your humidity of like
33:52
like you guys didn't feel like it was humid at all in February.
33:55
No. There was a couple of days that
33:57
I was like, oh, it feels humid. Oh, OK.
34:00
No, it's you should come down when it's summer.
34:03
Summer. Have you ever been somewhere
34:04
where it's like super, super hot?
34:06
So it was many, many years ago, but my grandparents on my mom's
34:12
side and my mom grew up in Tallahassee, FL.
34:16
So your mom did? My mom did, yeah.
34:18
And then she lived in Georgia for so my mom's been, she's was
34:21
a southern girl until like 2530 ish.
34:25
And then when she met my dad was the only reason she moved more
34:28
Midwest and stuff because he just had more of an established
34:31
like career and stuff. But yeah, so we went to
34:35
Tallahassee. I don't remember if it was like
34:37
my grandparents, like it was like a wedding something, but it
34:40
was like summer and all I could think of is all I did was chafe.
34:47
My thighs just chub rubbed like nobody's business.
34:51
And I was like younger, like 12. And all I remember being is
34:54
like, I'm so uncomfortable because, you know.
34:57
Worse. Oh my gosh.
34:59
Because you know, you're like running around in your swimsuit
35:01
as a kid. And then it's like, I was a
35:02
chubby kid. So then it's like I have so much
35:06
chafe going on. And then we went to a place
35:08
called. It was probably the first
35:09
experience that I saw, like a live alligator that was like,
35:15
not, you know, it's where you wouldn't expect to see them, not
35:19
like a petting zoo or something like that.
35:22
Yeah. And it's called Wakulla Springs.
35:24
And I think I told you about it this one time.
35:26
It was one of the coolest experiences ever.
35:30
We went on this like, like this boat through this Wakulla
35:34
Springs area. And the Gators were giant, like
35:39
the one that we saw on that path on the van.
35:43
They were like all like that. And then at the end there was a
35:46
spring where they had these giant fish that like looked
35:50
almost like they had like a like a swordfish, but it wasn't a
35:54
swordfish. And you would jump off this
35:56
giant dock basically into this natural spring.
36:01
And I'm like, those fish are just in the water.
36:04
So they don't they don't hurt you, they don't bother you.
36:06
I'm just thinking, and it's similar to the IT was just like
36:08
smaller scale the spring that we went in Wakaiva, which is
36:11
interesting that they're Wakaiva and Wakala, but Wakaiva is a
36:15
little bit more smaller scale. But isn't that weird to think
36:19
genuinely like a Gator could go into the spring, but they don't
36:25
like where we were swimming at Wakaiva and at like the swimming
36:29
area, there's no Gators. It's a Clearwater.
36:34
Was it with you or was I with my brother and sister-in-law and
36:37
niece and nephew where there was a Gator that was really close to
36:42
the area? No, that wasn't us.
36:43
OK, Yeah. We were there with the rabid
36:46
raccoon. So that was the last time.
36:49
That was the last time we win or that was the first time I've run
36:52
points with you. Yeah, that was the first time.
36:55
The second time, Casey was there with.
36:56
Casey Yeah, yeah. But that the Gator wasn't by the
36:59
swimming area. Oh, so this time it did it like
37:01
went up when we were going to like put our canoes up on this
37:05
hand, and it was like getting close to the little bridge that
37:08
goes before. And it was like, no, I don't
37:10
like. Nuts to be around people.
37:13
OK, so yeah, I thought for some reason like the water changed or
37:16
something and they didn't want to be in that water, but it must
37:19
just be because like similar probably not, that's probably
37:22
wrong, but but it must just be because the activity level is
37:26
higher and they genuinely aren't like seeking out the humans.
37:30
I think, I think so, yeah. Yeah.
37:32
Oh, I know. But it's like so crazy seeing
37:35
like wild animals in a space like that.
37:37
That is very Florida. And like that, that's where like
37:41
we're in their home type of thing.
37:42
I love that. I think that's cool when it's
37:44
like, you know, even like the, I love that the area in Wekiva is
37:50
no motor. So it's like to keep it more
37:53
chill for the wildlife and stuff.
37:56
And even the boat that we were on, it was one of those, I don't
38:02
know it, it was not a gas boat, but it was a similar concept.
38:05
But how far is Tallahassee from Orlando?
38:09
That's a while, right? Three.
38:11
Hours. Oh, I guess it's not that far.
38:13
That is something that I, I know you guys are Florida people, so
38:15
maybe it wouldn't be as cool to you, but like that's one where
38:19
I'd be like your niece and nephew would think it is so
38:23
cool. Wakulla.
38:26
Wakulla. Yeah, Wakulla.
38:29
Have you ever rode on a golf cart?
38:32
Oh, I just want, oh, that's right.
38:35
But like, OK, so I, we just, I'm so excited about this.
38:38
Like when we go to the beach at the end of June, we just rented
38:41
a golf cart. Yes, that's awesome.
38:44
That feels so beach. So baby.
38:46
Yes, yeah, I'm so excited. About that, what are the dates
38:49
for that that you guys go? June 25th through the 30th.
38:53
Nice. Yeah.
38:55
When does Hannah come over? She it's the week of the 7th
39:00
where she's gonna be at Heather and Koreans and she's gonna come
39:02
over. Yeah.
39:04
So I'm still not sure. We'll, we'll see if we're
39:07
bringing both Louie and Johnny or if Louie's gonna stay back.
39:11
Yeah, it'll be a really good growth experience for me when
39:13
she comes over. Totally.
39:15
What do you think? What does Bobby think?
39:17
Oh, he's whatever. So that makes sense.
39:25
Right, he really has no opinion when I well when I said he might
39:28
if I actually directly asked him, but no I but.
39:32
He's like obviously so obsessed and you are too of Louis, but
39:36
like. I'm so obsessed, you.
39:37
Seem more anxious about her behavior, he.
39:41
Sounds more. Yes, he seems more like I'm
39:45
gonna like correct her for it and then tell her to move on.
39:49
Well, he doesn't notice things that I probably would notice.
39:52
Yeah. You know what I mean?
39:53
Like where that's the curse of being a dog trainer.
39:56
It's like, yeah, I notice these things like.
39:58
The forwardness and stuff like, yes, it's like, OK, that's too
40:01
much. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:02
So. But she's, I feel like we've
40:06
bonded because I have her outside with me all the time and
40:10
that she's like basically a farm dog in a backyard.
40:13
That's how she feels. I love her.
40:16
I did too. Remember Casey and I both said
40:18
like out of your dogs we would probably own Louis.
40:22
I know. Even though she's the one that's
40:23
like the most, but when she's locked into you, she's like
40:27
locked in. And she's so.
40:29
Sweet when she looks sweet, not that I want to say like the ones
40:32
she knows you thinks that's such like, but it's true.
40:34
It's like when you know she can trust you and you can trust her.
40:38
She's not like the German Shepherd that it's like, you
40:42
know, oh, there's that type of German shepherd.
40:44
Like she's not outwardly looking for trouble.
40:47
She just has a big persona starting things off.
40:52
Her instincts are mighty strong. But I guess that's also a note
40:56
on I really didn't feel that close with her until this last
40:59
year. And she's 7.
41:02
Like, yeah, I mean, I love her, but I would never be like, Oh my
41:05
God, I love Louis. We're now.
41:07
I mean, it's just so interesting.
41:08
And it makes sense. The more stuff I do with her,
41:11
the more she's like, Oh my God, I love you.
41:13
Yeah, I think it's cool with you having the four dogs and
41:16
obviously, you know, me knowing both of your two packs with
41:21
Sadie being in it versus now with Johnny is it really is a
41:25
cool contrast to being able to see like the ebbs and flows of
41:28
dogs a little bit more than like 2 of them.
41:32
Like with Birdie and Roadie, it's like they obviously have
41:33
their ebbs and flows over the years, but it's like I have two
41:36
to choose from. And it's like now it's like I
41:37
know my birdie's always been my, if I want to take a dog to
41:41
somewhere busier, it's always been birdie.
41:44
And before it was like, if I want to actually go do something
41:46
like really active, it was Rhody.
41:49
And now it's kind of like birdie for almost everything and Rhody
41:52
for like let's go find things that he enjoys and loves doing,
41:56
but with your dogs. It's interesting because even
41:57
saying like we would both want to own Louis, I feel like it was
42:01
because of this trip. I don't think I would have
42:03
chosen her in the past. I would have chosen Theo in the
42:06
past because I loved like his activity level, but then he also
42:10
chilled. But then like he's in the phase
42:12
right now where he wants to be active, but you can't be as
42:14
active with him. So it's like I wouldn't really
42:17
choose him because it's like I can't go bring him.
42:19
You. Know so it's like and then with
42:21
Johnny, you know he's obviously so nervous and stuff but then
42:25
once he's comfortable, it's like no better feeling than him
42:30
liking you because then I was like, wait a second after our
42:32
little photo shoot. I'm like, I think I think I
42:35
would take aesthetically, I would take Johnny in a
42:37
heartbeat. I just feel like mix all of your
42:40
dogs. I know it's so fun, like
42:42
watching how they interact. It literally sometimes feels
42:45
like I'm watching like a wild dog show.
42:47
Like how they like socialize with each other or play off of
42:51
each other. Or if the ocean is beneath.
42:54
Yeah. I have no other pack of dogs.
42:56
I have to say that like of people that have more than two,
43:00
let's call it that I think work as well as like your guys's
43:05
dogs. It's obviously because of what
43:06
you guys do. Like, yeah.
43:08
But the this like people getting more and more dogs.
43:13
Most of the time I'm like, Oh my gosh, but you guys having four
43:15
dogs, it does not feel like 4 dogs unless it's like they're
43:18
all laying in the same space And it's like it just feels like a
43:21
lot of dog. But it does not feel like
43:25
chaotic energy where I don't know many, like I'm just
43:30
thinking of a handful that I'm like, this is too much like like
43:35
it's just too much dog. Well, I don't, it's so wild.
43:38
I don't feel like that with your guys's dogs at all.
43:40
Well that is a huge compliment 'cause you were in our house for
43:43
three weeks, so if anyone would. We would also have no problem
43:46
putting your dogs away. I love putting them away.
43:49
Yeah, because then they also were out a ton as well.
43:52
Yes, it's not like. Fully fulfilled.
43:54
It's so weird 'cause it's like our lives do revolve around our
43:57
dogs, but they don't revolve around our dogs.
44:00
I I know it's hard to explain to someone who like so I where I
44:05
get my hair done and the girl who does my hair it it was on
44:08
Monday and she brought one of her dogs.
44:10
Oh my God, I feel like I was almost it was like slow torture.
44:17
I had to keep changing the subject because she baby talks
44:19
her dog almost the entire time and it's like I doodle.
44:24
No, it's like a cute like pity lab mix like he's big and super
44:30
cute, but like I don't I I one time she asked me I kept trying
44:36
to veer the conversation to gardening 'cause I was like, I
44:38
don't know, whatever. I.
44:39
Don't wanna talk dogs? She was like, do you just like
44:42
look at your dogs all day and like say you love them all the
44:44
time? And I was like, no, like, I
44:47
don't talk. I I baby talk Johnny a lot.
44:50
I'm like my baby, you know, so, But no, I don't do.
44:54
That no, it's so I just don't even, I don't even think I ever
45:00
did that even just as like just as a owner, like I definitely
45:04
was like this is my child now and I thought that very much and
45:08
like, yeah, sure, but like. Around other people too.
45:11
I also read the room like I and I don't know if she just thinks
45:15
I'm a dog person. So it's like it was like nails
45:18
in a chalkboard where I'm like she's so nice.
45:21
I love the girl that does my hair but I'm like Oh my God I
45:24
can't. Handle this.
45:26
The baby talking, it's like, that's enough like.
45:30
Enough. We're good.
45:31
I'm all set. The dog's playing like, like so
45:35
anxious. He would come over and like jump
45:38
up on me and she's like, oh, he's so anxious and I'm like,
45:40
yeah, well, no shit. Like literally tell.
45:43
Me. Something I don't know, serial
45:44
killer cuz I just don't really pay attention.
45:46
I was petting him some cuz at first I'm like Oh yeah, I like
45:48
dogs. Yeah.
45:50
I also I'm not gonna hug him when he puts his full paws on
45:54
me. That's.
45:54
Not, no. It's actually so funny, which I
45:58
know you probably feel the same way.
45:59
Like now when I see, like, dogs out in public, it's just a dog
46:01
out in public. Like there's some that I see
46:03
that are a little extra cute that I'm like, oh, that dog's
46:05
cute. But there's no like, oh, my
46:07
gosh, a dog. But which just happened in
46:12
Florida and just happened this past weekend at Hilldale, which
46:15
you've been to that outdoor mall area.
46:17
Yeah. A cat on a leash say less.
46:21
That makes me act like an. What did you do?
46:25
You went over and like. No, because I don't that person,
46:28
but I definitely like did a side like I walked past and I gave
46:31
them still plenty of space and I was like, I love your cat.
46:35
I say something. I don't want people to have a
46:38
cat. Someone who brings their cat in
46:40
public on a harness, They want you to pay attention.
46:44
True. I think that's like part of the
46:47
shick, you know, I'm saying that dismissive.
46:50
I don't mean dismissively, I mean like, that's not.
46:52
Cool that. That's like if someone brings a
46:55
ferret out on a harness. You've seen that.
46:58
They're not like, no, please, no, that's wild.
47:02
No, no, no, no. I saw a mystical animal that I'm
47:05
just making up what it was in the crate next to me, but it was
47:08
something like a porcupine or I have no idea.
47:12
The ferret I saw on the ground with a full harness and leash, I
47:18
don't think that person would be like excuse me?
47:20
Yeah, don't touch my Garrett. Totally, totally.
47:25
Yeah, you make a good point. I would be that person that's
47:27
like, why are you bringing your cat out on a harness if you're
47:30
going to be rude when I ask about your cat?
47:32
Like, no one's. I doubt that you know.
47:34
Oh yeah. Because that person in Florida,
47:35
when we approached them with their cat, you could tell they
47:37
were like, they loved it. I'm pretty sure that cat has an
47:41
Instagram account. As it should.
47:43
Yeah. Yeah, as it should.
47:45
Oh my gosh. Well, how was your time at the
47:48
farm and stuff? Because that was a different
47:51
friend. You were just farm.
47:53
Or oh, it was good. She's so cute.
47:55
Like it was just so cute to see like, you know, through their
47:59
little eyes. And yeah, yeah, it made me miss
48:03
my chickens because there were some chickens there that not the
48:06
best little area. So I was like.
48:09
Oh my gosh, my chickens haven't made.
48:11
Yes, I was excited to come back and see them.
48:14
It made me feel great, good. What about you with your knees?
48:17
Yeah, we went to the zoo and we had so much fun.
48:19
I will say some of the big animals were like sleeping, like
48:22
the lions and stuff were just up on their just like deck area
48:26
sleeping her. The thing that she was most
48:28
excited about probably honestly because it was the easiest to
48:30
see, was the rhino. She's like, oh wow, wow.
48:36
And then the whole time, like she's in total, she goes through
48:39
phases. She's in total phase of KK right
48:42
now, which is KC KKK and grabs his hand and wants to hold hands
48:47
with him. So it's Kiki and KK holding
48:49
hands with Eloise and like but has to have K KS hand and to
48:55
like be picked up to look at the animals.
48:57
KK up, KK up and I'm like, it is so cute.
49:01
Yeah, it is to die for. And then we got her chalk and a
49:05
ball. So we did a lot of outdoor time
49:07
and like drawing on the driveway, went to a park.
49:12
It was so much fun. She's just such a cool age.
49:15
Like that's one thing I will say is I don't think I would love
49:18
the baby phase like that. Like, you know, some people are
49:22
like, you know, they love the like just like laying in bed for
49:25
like 5 hours types of thing. That to me like is where I get
49:29
like anxiety induced even thinking about it of like, Oh my
49:33
gosh, like something being so like so much need but like this
49:37
like 2 year old face, even though you're constantly worried
49:40
they're gonna hurt themselves. Like it's so fun, like so fun.
49:44
And I don't know if, you know, every child starts talking
49:47
differently and stuff, but like she's not talking full
49:49
sentences, but like you can have a conversation with her like and
49:54
kind of figure out what she's saying and stuff.
49:56
And that's really cool. Like even just seeing like how
50:00
this is probably slightly like personal, but it's just cool to
50:03
see her connectic. She's still in diapers and
50:05
they're probably gonna start potty training this summer.
50:08
But like she now even knows how to tell my sister.
50:10
Like if she's like diaper rash, she'll say stinging Mama, sting
50:14
Mama. And so then Kristen, like, I'm
50:18
like, that's really smart to like know how to like say a
50:23
feeling you're feeling and describe it in a way.
50:26
Like I'm like, how do they I know they learn these things
50:29
from we all learn them at some point, but I'm just like, it's
50:32
really cool to see like the how they're learning.
50:36
So that did that. You know, she always changes
50:40
every time we see her. But that one was like, just like
50:43
all the things. I'm like, wow, she's really
50:44
smart. Like she knows all of it.
50:47
Even like the things that Kristen's teaching her, like she
50:50
wants to run for everything. So we're at like this park and
50:53
you just are waiting for them to just like fall and dive bomb
50:55
because they get over their feet.
50:57
So Kristen starts yelling walking feet and Eloise goes and
51:01
she like really stomps her feet down.
51:04
Like Kristen must have showed her like walking.
51:07
So she starts like walking like a little dinosaur.
51:09
I'm like, it's so cute. We're like a full person.
51:13
Just go like stop. And she knows that she must stop
51:17
if she hears that, so she stops at a track and looks back like I
51:20
stopped. But Oh yeah, it was so fun.
51:24
You. Our neighbor kid is named a
51:26
little girl, Eloise. Yeah, I remember hearing that
51:30
when we were going for a bike ride and I was like, cute.
51:32
Such a good name. Yes, I love that name.
51:35
Yeah, have birds been coming near a bird feeder?
51:39
No, what I think happened a while right by our I was pointed
51:45
to your window right by here over by the garden.
51:49
I'm thinking of putting it in the front yard because.
51:51
OK, you did put it in the back. Yeah, but we have someone on the
51:54
yard. Yep.
51:56
But it has like a cone 'cause my biggest thing was, oh, I just
52:00
don't want the squirrels to get insane about it.
52:03
I don't know if it's the cone and they can't see it 'cause
52:05
I've been going over and shaking it and.
52:07
Yeah, maybe we tried the front yard.
52:09
Have you already had any more raccoons?
52:12
Yes, it's the same one. This raccoon now lives here.
52:15
I'm actually not that mad about it if I'm being honest.
52:19
It's. Like a royal nature show.
52:21
Yeah, like he's got to eat too. The only thing is, I will say we
52:24
refilled one of the bird feeders and the next morning we came out
52:27
and it was fully empty. So I'm like, OK, we cannot
52:29
afford this raccoon. So have you, have you named him?
52:33
We actually named we were trying to name him last night, which is
52:37
so funny that you asked that. Of course Casey wants some weird
52:40
ass name so his name is 2 smokes.
52:46
I said we should name him like Ziggy or something and he was
52:50
like 2 smokes. Like OK, who smokes?
52:54
Wait, didn't that just come out of nowhere?
52:55
Like. No, it's from his weirdest show
52:59
that he's watched multiple times, Trailer Park Boys.
53:03
Oh no. And him and his brothers say it
53:05
to each other. They go 2 smokes.
53:07
I don't even know what it means, but apparently that's a
53:09
raccoon's name. But we have been, we have to
53:11
bring 2 of the feeders in at night because we're like, this
53:14
is getting crazy. But Casey went out last night on
53:17
the deck to bring in the feeders and he heard them under the
53:20
deck. He was like, oh, he was already
53:21
out looking for him. Oh my God.
53:24
Wait, so is it the time of year where you can go hang out on
53:27
that deck? Oh yeah.
53:30
Pretty grilling. Yeah, we've done a couple of
53:34
stuff on our Blackstone. But yeah, I mean, it's fully,
53:36
it's feeling fully summer now. Like this week.
53:38
I don't think any of the days are lower than like our highs
53:41
are not lower than 80s. Is that your favorite time of
53:44
year? Oh yeah, yeah, I love it.
53:46
June's definitely like my favorite month of the year.
53:49
Oh my gosh, it's so funny because when we go into well,
53:52
I'm liking it more, which is This is why Bobby thinks I'm a
53:55
completely different person now because I like being on the back
53:58
porch. Thanks to you and also you're
54:00
welcome. I'll get into the pool and then
54:04
sit on the back porch. We bought another fan.
54:06
So I have these fans blowing at me.
54:07

54:10
Never. Really been the pool person,
54:12
wasn't it? More Bobby.
54:13
Yeah, you know, it's so funny. When we were in the pool pre big
54:16
argument, he was like, why did he say something like, oh,
54:22
you're not proving Kate wrong? It was something where because I
54:26
know you said something like how often are y'all in the pool?
54:29
And I think my answer was like, never really.
54:31
Ever. And I was like, what?
54:33
And I think you were upset and he.
54:34
Yeah. So it wasn't you wrong.
54:35
It was, yes. I was like, yeah, we've been in
54:39
the pool every single day. No.
54:40
Yeah, yeah. It's.
54:42
Nice, I want to go in a pool. It's actually so funny because
54:46
we were like looking up earlier. So we're like, well, this
54:48
afternoon, especially after like working with dogs, like is there
54:50
any public pools we can go to the way?
54:53
Yes, I want to? It's like so perfect weather out
54:56
right now can. You get a blue pool.
54:59
It's not the same. Oh yeah, it's true.
55:02
Like it's just pollen will land in it just like, oh.
55:06
Dirty. Yeah, and just like I want a
55:09
deep pool, I can actually like walk in and.
55:11
I wouldn't take you as a public pool person.
55:14
I'm not oh but I'm willing to give it a shot depending.
55:19
I don't want to go to like the baby pool because there's just a
55:22
bunch of pee and poop probably in it.
55:23
Oh. Can you imagine if you?
55:25
Just and I don't want to go to want like there's a water park.
55:28
Oh, no. Oh.
55:29
No, none of that. Yeah, I would.
55:32
Tell you how Bobby and I would go.
55:33
There's this place, Volcano Bay, and we had this little phase of
55:38
our life where we were just desperate to find hobbies.
55:42
First we tried to take up tennis.
55:43
I think I told you that We even went out to like a big tennis
55:46
place, bought rackets. Course, did you guys commit?
55:51
Guys, commit. Played twice, that was it.
55:55
And then we got passes to this water park, Volcano Bay, and
56:00
we're like, we're going to be the people that do this.
56:02
And like probably went twice one of the days.
56:05
Or was it Premier House? 2 for 45 minutes. 30 It's a
56:11
water park. It's a water park with big
56:13
slides. Big.
56:15
What? That sounds like your worst
56:17
nightmare. It literally is.
56:19
I'm telling you, we were like reaching you weren't have a pool
56:22
time. Just like really got into pool
56:24
life. This was still when you were at
56:26
this house. Oh yeah.
56:28
Oh, you had a pool and we're going to go to a water park for
56:30
you. I mean something.
56:32
So now, so now I tap into that part where it's like, I don't
56:36
want to look back and be like, why didn't I use my fucking
56:38
pool? Like it's right here, use your
56:40
pool. I know because I get upset.
56:42
And your people live. On a lake and they're not
56:44
accessing the lake. Like what are you doing?
56:46

56:49
