Things NOT to Do.

 Things NOT to Do.

 

While Jennifer was here back in August, we decided that the old woman should not take a muscle relaxer and a pain pill in the few hours that the two might intermix. Today, when things got a bit hairy and the spasms were coming fast and furious, it seemed like a good idea to just take a pain pill—not anything else. Had not taken one in more than a month, but it worked very well even though the spasms were still obvious. Weird.

 

Gregg came this afternoon and removed the dead chicken from between the two layers of fence behind the workshop. While he was here, he also repaired the hot water lever in the big bath tub. That alone probably saved over $200! He did not want to take any money for what he had done, but the trip was worth it to me. He took home some eggs, some cooked chicken, and some other things to make dinner for him and Vickie. SO glad to have someone to call on.

 

Burned some hay from the front coop along with the small trees that Gregg had removed from the east fence line. Left the water hose dripping out by the pile before heading back inside. If things are better tomorrow, may remove a couple of sunflower stalks and more hay from the middle coop. Getting things ready for cooler weather also means that Gregg said he could use the shipping flats next to my fence as kindling for their stove. Yay!

 

Judie and Weldon came by this afternoon and left some goodies on the front porch bench. She said that they were flying low and trying to get a bunch of things accomplished this afternoon. Not sure my speed would ever exceed Judie’s. She is so full of energy!

 

The shower that happened earlier this evening made me feel so good! My hair used to be so thick that it took over a day to dry, but now it is only a matter of an hour or so. Amazing how things change in our lives.

 

It looks as if we need to be praying for the folks out there about to be flooded or hit by the winds from the latest hurricane. We can get wind here that knocks down trees and hits our electric lines, but it sounds as if they will get enough wind and flooding to remove part of each island! May God bless and protect them!

 

Cooked chicken today for some Chicken Fiesta soup! Tomorrow will try to put on all the ingredients at one time while getting other things done in the kitchen. Roger brought some tomatoes and peppers the other day that have been tempting me drastically. Those special little heirloom tomatoes may look strange, but they are definitely very tasty. SO glad that some folks can grow things!

 

Let us keep an attitude of gratitude. May God help us to be loving toward others.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
