I am really just joking here but DH handed me the mail today. I am totally serious. He handed it to me from a bucket he used to bring in vegetables or eggs and hay was mixed in.

It’s morning for me. I wake up and DH is peeling shrimp. I join him and he adds ice from the freezer to the ice chest. He said we have 70 pounds to peel. I am not as fast as him. I sometimes lose track of my nights at work. I think I am half over my current hitch. You ever hear no such thing as...

When you want the benefits from sunflowers for your garden don’t bother buying a pack of seeds. Just buy a 50 pound sack of wild birdseeds.

Yesterday DH was seen by the cardiologist and at first he was going to get shocked back into a normal rhythm but then they decided on medication. He left the room and the nurse came back in and said he was stopping one med and putting him on Narvasc and Digoxin. I don’t know why Digoxin shocked...

I am home 😔. I am supposed to at work. I just got back from the city. I had to take DH to the hospital after letting him go to the doctor for a well visit. Not so well actually. He is officially back in atrial fib but he was in some kind of rhythm that I never even heard of… doc called it atrial...

I am on my first of 4 nights. Last night was extra, in more ways than one. I am on a little break and waiting for my vitals so I can finish up a few things before getting ready for morning and ordering the meds. DD asked me to pick her up at the ex’s house and I said we staying on the other...

Monday DH had a cardiac ablation. I just felt his pulse. About every 27 beats I feel an abnormality but it’s much better than before. He played in the garden today. Maybe he shouldn’t have but it had been bothering him. I cooked a gumbo today with a chicken and duck he had slaughtered before the...

I am awoke!! And furthermore I am actually off a night. Phone was going crazy while I rested. Had so many notifications. DS told me….Mission Accomplished. I honestly don’t know what he will do now. He has no equipment. I see DH moved the goat closer to the house. He is burning sticks he...

Happy Easter. I am just getting up from night shift. I don’t think DH sleeps well without me. He is in bed now. He should probably just farm with a bulleye lamp. From what I understand some of his medicine dictates not to work in sunlight anyway 🤷‍♀️ I took one of the full time positions and...

To tell you the truth I love them for the age I am. DH and I can totally slaughter one, process and not have to worry about running out of freezer space. Think….bantam swine. I don’t know if DH and his imaginary friend will actually sell piglets but if they don’t, at least I know we can schedule...

Well I never considered making a syrup but I did make a tincture but to tell the honest truth it seems to be good for almost everything. I have taken more to the taste of it as food…like a side dish sautéed in butter with a little garlic. I generally forget to take it if it’s medicine but I love...

Depression

Just a few wild strawberries to make me imagine being a borrower.

Nah. Just ordinary people show up with their stuff and try to catch a few expenses.

Yeah they have some kind of regular planned sale at a few of the local Tractor Supplies. I forgot exactly what they call them. DH used to bring whatever barnyard hatches we had and sell everything. This is the famous Trouble. Getting old. She gave us a scare a few days ago.

DH and his imaginary friend have a new plan. They figured they have 5 pregnant potbelly pigs. So they thinking 10 piglets each, sell 40 at Tractor Supply when they 6 weeks old and so cute and we eat 10. I don’t know about this one. I told them if it doesn’t work we having a few slaughter days...

Here is a picture of DH’s Goat N Stratton, controlling the weeds around the garden.

I knew it was time to go in the kitchen. DH was complaining about how SIL had redesigned his mother’s kitchen and was losing all his stuff. I stepped in and he went out to ‘spread the love.’ That’s what we call feeding the livestock. Honestly he is a great chef but he needs an assistant to work...

I don’t mind nursing as long as I am working with people who have my back and allow my accommodations but yeah I am up for an easier job with benefits and because of farming and prepping and a lifetime of frugality I suppose I can be part-time. And really a big part of my decision to go back to...

It is most important that a nurse knows how to properly administer medicine to her patients. It is also very important that she knows how to help her employer pass the state audit when the time comes. For years I did both at the same time but it did damage my feet. I still know how to read...
