Such a beautiful day it has been! Right this red hot moment, it is 70 degrees out on the deck. The hens are all out there talking to each other and just looking for another stalk of something green to nibble on. Shredded some bok choy leaves that might have been a good stir-fry ingredient, but looked kinda wimpy. The girls did not care in the least how wimpy it looked. They are not quite as bad about begging as the dogs, but they are quite vociferous occasionally.
Nothing accomplished again today. Had planned to go over to Connie's new apartment, but the backdoor neighbors' dogs got out. One dog attacked the across-the-road neighbor's puppy and got it by the neck. It ran under the house and hopefully will come out later. Poor critter. It infuriates me that those folks have such mean dogs. But, really and truthfully, not sure what my dogs would do if they got out. Well, for one thing, they would come to me when called. But Gina's dogs take off and go see what they can do out of their yard. Small yard, three big dogs. Just glad they can't get in my yard! But that did not keep my dogs from going bananas when those dogs were out and carrying on. They are much heavier and bigger than either of my dogs. Would not want one of them chewing on me or my critters!
Donny Anderson brought up a bunch of bread and chips to feed to the hens. Tomorrow will give them the crackers. Too much salt is really not good for chickens. Only have so much fresh stuff to give them at any one time. And they are not crazy about much of it. After all, what chicken do you know would eat grapefruit? They like sweet potato if it is cooked, however. Just have not had my portion of it yet. They get the peels and whatever is still inside the potato skin.
Got a message from my doctor to say that Kaylee's surgery was long and very intricate, but she seems to be recovering. Please continue to pray for her. Have not heard any more from Charlie Anderson, but we can still pray for him and his family. This Covid mess really has messed up the way we do things.
Have noticed that the cars are moving faster through the State Hospital grounds. Not sure if they are still taking everyone's temperature or not. Guess it does not affect me one way or the other. Not like their sneezes can spread this far. However, back when they still allowed smoking on the campus, my old neighbor Dan Fenoglio used to complain about the smell of their cigarettes over here. Truly, it was pretty strong. Strange to think that many people were smoking over there!
Have an appointment to see Dr. White about my eyes on Monday and have to get a list made of whatever my meds are. They change once in a while. But at 8:30 in the morning, no way would those names come to me, so will have to do a list this weekend to take with me. Such fun. They take the temperature of anyone before they even let the patient in the door. Guess that is one way to keep out problems.
Once in a while the tablet used for my Kindle reading will get set down somewhere, and the old woman has trouble remembering where she put it. It makes noises at times and that helps to locate it. Getting forgetful is so much fun!
Got the test results back from some chemical tests that doctors like to use. And so, let us be happy that the blood sugar tests were just fine. But the cholesterol types did not make my doctor happy. She wants me off of any sugar, despite the fact that it is not an indication of diabetes. She says she wants me to be eating proteins, cheeses, and non-white veggies and no breads, crackers, or other carbs. NO ice cream or coffee creamers with sugar. Now really! Not that it sounds like a starvation diet or anything, but can a person live without ice cream in this world? Or coffee creamer? Guess maybe it will be tried--again. sigh
It makes me sad to think that my diet means that personally giving up something can make me healthier, yet some folks would have to actually HAVE something to eat just to survive. It is a bit of a sad world.
An earthquake in Turkey and Greece with the tsunami that went with it has been in the news along with the continued fall out from hurricane Zeta. Guess most of us can just be thankful that we are so blessed with decent weather and electricity to our homes. We will just have to pray for those who need God's help to survive.
May you each find peace in life, and may you all rest well. You are loved.
