 Hi guys, it's me. It's Monica. I know I've been missing in action for gosh, I don't know quite a while right I think almost a month and This is just gonna be a quick update. I'm not gonna do any product reviews or talk about anything But just an update on what's been going on. So if you're here for a product review bear with me My next video I do have a ton of things I have to review and I just haven't Haven't had a chance to do it But I'm gonna take you back in time towards the beginning of March, which is I think where Probably when my last video came out in the beginning of March and it was getting ready to go to convention to Louisville and We I went to Louisville for our annual convention I'm gonna you know, I'm probably gonna do this more talking vlog because I'll probably super in posts and photos But I hung out with a I shared a room with one of the managers in our company because I didn't come with me And he stayed home so he could really you know be here in case something happened with mom and stuff like that So I really appreciated that a lot So I shared a room with Maggie one of my managers in the in the office and sort of hung around with the relocation Director and a couple of agents and we did a whole bunch of different things So one night we went out to night out where we all met up in a In a sort of had like a barbecue dinner, and then there was a ghost walk afterwards. I didn't go on the ghost walk I didn't feel all that well, so I ended up going back to to the room with Maggie and The next day there was just a bunch of awards bunch of different ceremonies going on at the convention I did make it in time to do my education part of it that I had to do all day Sunday One night we went out to dinner to this place under the bridge It was really an interesting restaurant's pitch of a group of us right before we went into the restaurant taken on the outside Was really interesting from the service To the menu to where the restrooms were was a very very interesting, but it was it was a fun night So convention was really good No major delays coming back had horrible delays going out stuff to fly out super early on the Saturday morning, and I got up at three Think 3 30 I got up to get ready because we'd have to leave the house by 4 30 to get me to Man, we'd have to leave the house by 3 30 to get me to Manchester for Quarter past four when my flight was boarding So I was getting ready, and I got a tang from Southwest Airlines What a pain and they had postponed canceled my flight and put me on a flight out on Monday, which Did not do anything for me because I had a bunch of things I had to do on Sunday So long story short I made a number phone calls got nowhere got put on hold Finally went to Twitter, and I started venting on Twitter, and I got immediate attention I was put on a flight later that day out of Manchester. That was delayed a couple of times There was a storm So that was delayed and I ended up flying down to Orlando Only to go back up to Kentucky But that was the only way I could get to Kentucky on Saturday, and so I arrived It was like near midnight on Friday night, and it was kind of on Saturday night And it was kind of a little bit leery for me to go out into this airport Where the Ubers were on one section, and there was nobody there so Long story short I caught a ride with some realtors from Colorado To the hotel we were staying at and and convention ended up being super nice I came back from convention And had two days in the office And then I took my mother we went for a girls weekend on superimpose and photos We went for girls weekend. We took I picked up my mom and we surprised my sister It was my sister's birthday on the 16th, which was the day I came home from convention So they celebrated at that weekend And my niece did an Airbnb and we stayed up there in the in the Conway area Of New Hampshire and it was just really nice and we got up there late Saturday Saturday night dinner out. I had a fabulous meal. Oh my gosh The meal was so good as an Italian restaurant and I had like muscles and Different seafood. I just really loved it. It was so so good And then Sunday we're out the door back home by 10 and then Hold on what you're not supposed to be up I'm not supposed to be up. I just shut the door on him I'm up for a few minutes Long story short. So anyway, Sunday we came home and dropped my mother off and You know all of that and I went to work Monday and I promptly Monday afternoon Got sick as a dog. I mean literally sick I barely made it home And not going to go into the gory details But I was chained to the toilet with a bucket in my lap because it I was so sick. I thought I had food poisoning. I thought oh my god You know the food I ate was food poisoning And it was poor. It was bad and it ended up not being Ended up getting a stomach flu. My mother got it. My sister got it. My husband got it. We were all sick All week long. So I never ever got to to to Do a video or anything and my air surgery Was for the 30th So not too sure when this is going to go public But the 30th as the time of filming is Was yesterday. That's why jake came in here and said I wasn't supposed to be up because I'm not supposed to be up I'm not supposed to be Up alone anyway. So and he's in the other room. So I'm not really alone but So I was so sick and I was worried that that was going to postpone my ear surgery And of course before we have any kind of surgery you have to have a covet test So I'm like thinking oh my gosh It all worked out well. I got my covet test. That was clean. I went and did my surgery Yesterday morning and what he did I don't have any earrings on because of the fact that can't do anything to weigh it down He was able to do the least invasive of what the three potentials were So he was able to go in the front take some bones some cartilage and rebuild The part where my eardrum was blown out and patch the hole and all that I don't know quite yet how successful it's going to be ultimately but Initially after the surgery the surgeon thought it went really well So I've been home since yesterday not supposed to be lifting bending Driving not supposed to be doing a whole bunch of things. So I haven't really done anything I've just been on the couch On my chair like I said, I've got a lot of things to review And just haven't even done any of them. I've I've just been so out of it just not feeling good at all So I have such a because they had to give me a breathing tube. I don't know why But they had to give me a breathing tube. So my throat is all Raw and hurts to swallow it in the mornings this morning. I got up. I couldn't even talk so It's yeah, it's going to be a while on the really good news front is While I was sick For the stomach thing my Other my second bike came in some of you know, I have an electric bike and I have a pedigo boomerang Which I love I call her glenda. She's the one with the bass try to super impose She's the one with the baskets in the front in the matching chain guard and fenders and all that with little little butterflies on it Anyways, I love glenda. She's an awesome bike for street biking long trails. The battery lasts forever But um, she's not good in sand or dirt So, um, I had been eyeballing another bike And I finally got her in she had I also wanted to have a suspension put on her So I got that so her name is sassy witch and she's a blue bike So I post this here so you can see what she looks like. So yeah, I'm a two e bike owner Um, I think that's kind of cool. You know, I mean I enjoy biking. I'm Optimistic because I'm standing here straight that I can get on my bike But I enjoy biking and these two bikes are completely different glender is easy to get in you just put your it's a low entry You just put your foot over Scoot your butt up on the seat hit your little throttle Slowly and you can go and then you stop pedaling and you take your throttle off and you pedal your brains out Um, the furthest I've gone on glenda is about 30 miles and we still had more than half the battery left The element sassy is a little bit different a little bit hotter. I'm going to bend the bike over to mount her and And she's mainly going to be my beach baby So if I'm going to like old wretched beach in maine and I'm going to be biking along the sand That's where I'm going to bring her. So, um, yeah, that's that I thought was good. So I I really love my bikes um Other than that my most surgery has not happened yet. I have had two postponements So the I think on the friday I think it's the 15th of april is when I meet with the plastic surgeon Because they both have to be on standby. They both have to be there to do this together And he can assess this but I'm still thinking this is going to happen in may Maybe now pushed out to june But um, I'm really glad because the air was The air was more painful Continuously having ear rakes and all that so that was more more painful for me. Um And I I'm just hoping that it isn't going to be super unsightly You know when you have a spot like that in the middle of your face. It's kind of like really grosses you out so I I got I got that taking the you're taking care of a follow-up visit I'm hoping to get back to a normal routine. This is the longest I've been on my feet to record this video Uh, and jay has been like hovering around me like a mother hen Like crazy. So which is good But um, yeah, it's april by the time you see this it'll be Well, april first is friday. I don't know if you're gonna see it thursday or friday, but April spring. I just we are heavily into mud season right now Although we did have a bit of a snowstorm not too long ago, but it's been really cold. So Uh, yeah mud season brown season in new hampshire is not pretty, but it is what it is So I've got like uh, some hair pieces that I want to talk about in a future video more uh, bimes and wraps and I also have some I have two products coming from octaly. I don't know if they're gonna arrive before I do my next video We're not but if they do I will I will talk about that I also took a bunch of pictures of my cancer spot my basil cell And I'm gonna still I'm gonna share that whole process with you in a separate video But I just want to come on and just jibber jabber about this because I know I've had a number of you send me messages through my email and It um, it's it's very heartfelt that you know, you guys are thinking about me. So I really appreciate that I'm going to take this thing out of my ear And I have ear drops I have to put in So I'm not looking forward to doing that But I'm going to do that my whole side of my face here is a little swollen still and hurts to the touch So when I sit down, I'll probably do a quick edit add photos upload this And then I'm just going to ice my ear And hope for the best hope for the best so anyways, um, that's it for me right now and I hope you guys are doing good. I'm hoping to record a video on saturday more of a normal video video. Hopefully It'll be this weekend. I'm hoping that I have enough Um, what do you call it vinegar pissing vinegar? To uh, to do that. So anyways That's it Thanks so much for hanging in there
