I've been gone for a while.. tha yall know.
I was in Waco, on vacation, nearing the end, having a good ole time. Got a phone call on Aug 1st, informing that my mom had passed away.
Went to the funeral home, they wanted their $$ up front. No credit cards, NO monthly payments. (I had NO idea). Then yesterday, my a/c unit for my home went out. Talk about hot. It got to 86 degrees here at night inside my home.
So, it kinda put me in a financial bind (for the moment). (Thats the UGLY part).
I also lost some weight during this time (not because I wanted to)... as I was under a lot of stress.
So thats about it. My husbands' paycheck is spent for the next couple of months.
I'm reading a book called "Praying Our Goodbyes", that is helping me deal with feelings.
I even lost some weight during all this stress.
God IS GOOD. My mom had a beautiful service; I have a new a/c unit, good for another 10 years with an extended warranty for that long.
Hoping everyone is having a Blessed Day!
Jean
About Me

- 🌾 Welcome to My Low‑Carb Life As of January 2026, I’ve started a new chapter: I recently began the GLP‑1 Wegovy pill to help me get back on track with my weight‑loss goals. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, and I’ve gained back some of the weight I once worked so hard to lose — so this is my reset moment. My journey began in 2008, when my doctor warned me about rising blood pressure and challenged me to lose ten pounds in three months. I ended up losing 26. By 2011, life had shifted again, and I recommitted to the low‑carb lifestyle that helped me feel strong and steady. And today, I’m still committed — just with new tools, new wisdom, and a whole lot more grace for myself. I live just outside New Orleans, deep in sweet Cajun Country, where we hunt, fish, “make groceries,” and enjoy the simple things. I exercise three times a week and practice relaxing on the off days. My immediate goal is to lose 15 pounds, and I’m focused on moving forward with intention and consistency. So pull up a chair and stay a spell — this blog follows my low‑carb journey, my Southern roots, and now, my Wegovy pill adventure.

Hi Jean,
I'm so sorry to hear all of that has happened, my best wishes are with you. It does sound like light shone on you though, and has helped you through a lot.
I can't believe the funeral home wouldn't take credit though - I wonder why??
