That BLEAH Feeling.

 That BLEAH Feeling.

 

Not sure if it is the heat or not being able to stay outside more than a few minutes or exactly what, but the old woman just has the blahs—plus a little bit of the bleah feeling. Need to cook for my dogs and am out of the chicken quarters, so got online and will have United to drop them off at the house this afternoon. Yes, that is terribly lazy. But that is just how it is.

 

Even the hens have the “blahs.” Have had fewer eggs the past few days and don’t even blame the girls for not wanting to sit out there in those nests to lay eggs. Dear Hearts, it is miserably hot! Yesterday, Patty was not feeling good, but today she feels better and reminded me of the silly little thing that Elon put out showing him and former president Trump doing some kind of dance to “Staying Alive.” Of course, it was AI generated, but it was hilarious! Love a good laugh to make things feel better. Had to tell Patty about the dogs seeing a squirrel in the yard that they chased up a tree. Normally they will sit out there and bark awhile. Nope, not this time. When it went up the tree, they both barked about twice and turned around and came back inside the house where it is cooler!! No body’s dumb dogs! Patty said Roxy had done the same thing. Barked twice to express her opinion and came back inside!

 

We might actually feel better by next week as it might actually be less than 100 degrees! Can you imagine—celebrating 98 degrees! Just need something to laugh about! A cold snap!

 

Sterling was reminding me again the other day of how much effort Daniel put into praying for his nation and his people. When you can’t vote ‘em out, pray ‘em out—at least here in this nation. And if it’s needed, God will produce an earthquake or two and maybe a volcano to erupt!! Meanwhile, the Israelis managed to hack into the networks to send a fake phone call to the guy in Iran who also planned the bombing that took out so many Americans—maybe in Libya, can’t remember. Anyway, the guy was considered “invisible.” So much for invisibility. Reminds us: If God be for us, who can stand against us?

 

Lance always messes with my phone when he comes over to be sure that the downloads needed are completed. He said his phone has given him some problems since the last upgrade. Technology is a bit beyond me. SO glad that my kids and grands know how to do this stuff. The young girl across the street has helped me more than once to get things done on my phone or computer. Laisha is a whiz with these things! It makes an old woman feel thankful to have good neighbors who are helpful with these things. Just wish that Max and Laisha were going to be here for longer than a few years. But that is the military for you.

 

By this time next month, the pickup will have its inspection due and the tags will need to be updated. Sometimes it feels as if we are paying taxes on top of taxes—vehicle tax, road tax, bridge tax, tire tax and disposal tax, gasoline tax, howdy doody tax, raise your hat tax, and dirt accumulation tax! Have not had a good wash job on my truck in a couple of years, so they might figure out a way to tax my dirty truck’s dirt disposal tax. Sigh.

 

Think it might be a good idea to go cook up some cabbage and heat up the last of the pork roast gravy. Maybe hunger is what my attitude problem is? Whatever it is, this too shall pass.

 

Let us remember to thank God for all things—clean water, freedom to gripe, the ability to enjoy our families, and just life itself. Each day is a gift to us. Praise His name!

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
