Cleaning Out the Linen Closet.
This morning it took more than a few bags to hold all the
little blankets, sheets, and assorted things that just left here to go to Katy’s
Dog Place. She said that they have about 49 dogs of all sizes. Mine got out the
door to meet them as the old woman stepped outside on the front porch. Kat
helped to get them back inside. She understands big dogs! She has one that can
jump a seven-foot fence!! She has to keep that one on a long leash. Can’t
imagine trying to walk my two dogs at the same time any longer. They are just
much stronger than the old woman.
Thought all kinds of good things would get accomplished
today. And a couple of things were done, but the living room floor still needs
my undivided attention. Thought it would get vacuumed, mopped, and the
furniture rearranged. Maybe tomorrow. At least only three more pounds of ground
turkey has to be cooked and put into Ziplock bags for the freezer. Got ten
pounds of chicken deboned and put into the freezer. Also, managed to cook five
pounds of beef and three pounds of turkey and placed in bags in the freezer. Not
this week but next week we are supposed to have some really cold weather.
Trying to prepare for cold normally means just being sure the water won’t
freeze up around here, but having everything ready to feed the dogs and hens
helps me to limit the time outside and on this silly knee.
Had some really tasty cauliflower stuff for din-upper today.
It was Bird’s Eye bacon, cheddar, cauliflower that had to be cooked in the
oven. Tasty and satisfying. If learning to cook had included that kind of stuff
years ago, my weight might never have become a problem. It is really too
expensive to have meals like that on a regular basis. The price of one lunch could
have bought an entire head of cauliflower! Oh well.
Took a short nap this afternoon that will undoubtedly mess
up my sleep tonight, but it really made me feel better at least. Have had just
enough of a headache to not enjoy life to the fullest. Not sure if it’s the
weather or just old age. At least the headache is gone now.
Sitting down at my little table after finishing reading a
section in my Bible, it occurred to me that an actual prayer list might help me
remember everyone that needed prayers. Paul told Timothy that we need to pray
for those in positions of authority so that our lives could be lived in peace,
so even our local mayor (Tim Short) was on the list for prayers. So very many
of those who need our prayers are there because of cancer. Then, because of
their jobs, the police, first responders, EMTs and nurses were on that list. We
truly depend on so many people to make things reasonable in our lives. Even
plumbers and electricians are important to us right now. In bad weather we need
the plumbers to help keep the water flowing and the electricians can keep power
going to our houses. Can’t imagine what will have to take place in NC, TN, CA,
and other places affected by floods and fires! Wish my friend Henrietta had a
good place here in Texas where she could come live now that her house and her
daughter’s house have burned to the ground!! The pictures from the air just are
dismaying. How will those boundaries ever be found under all that debris? Not just
in CA, but the same is true especially in NC. So many prayers are needed for
everyone in those places.
Let us remember those who suffer through no fault of their
own. We are all just as easily affected by things around us.
Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
