Well because of today’s activity I have cooked those beans (btw producers please take note that just because I am Cajun doesn’t mean I season my food with so much pepper to raise blisters on tongues), added a can of beans to it so I can actually tolerate it, and I have brewed a pot of afternoon...

Sorry for my delay. I beat myself up a lot I guess. So 2 days ago the ex informed me that his SIL so my SIL as well (for a number of years) passed from cancer. She was diagnosed after me and she is gone and here I am 🤷‍♀️. I try not to worry too much about time. It’s precious to us all really...

Morning!! Been a minute. Let’s see….my house is a mess. I’m late getting dressed. I was so tired yesterday after waking up before daylight and then heading to the city with the newborn and watching 3 of my own grandkids, cooking and cleaning up the kitchen and then feeding them and then coming...

Well, I’m not quite that old. I’m disabled with the cancer so only 58, but I’m approaching 25 months on disability so I’m about to be put on Medicare. I didn’t totally not take any sedative medication but I decreased them a bit and I guess that’s why I’m awake. Maybe I slept a tiny bit. I was...

I gotta keep myself motivated this coming year and I’m not even sure how to tackle it. DD was fired from Sonic because sick too often. She will be 18 in March and so her SS checks will stop. I had been helping her with various things cuz I realized I was getting several hundred dollars a month...

Thanks 🙏🏾. I’m feeling okay today….well so far. I didn’t crate Trouble last night but I didn’t wake up to any surprises. I heard her sneaking under the bed this morning and then I heard her snoring right under me 😆. I was probably over medicated last night. I fell asleep in the chair and by the...

Merry Christmas everyone!! I have been under the weather. I usually contribute it to my treatment but I might have caught a bug. Not sure. On the 23rd I spent several hours plucking 5 wild ducks and the next day I was visiting with the family. I saw all my children, grandchildren, some in-laws...

52F in my hometown. Probably warmer than most of y’all locations though. Feels chilly, wet. So DH and HG are both playing outside and doing chores and I am in the rocker/recliner holding baby and sticking the pacifier back in as she catches up on her z’s. She is snoring. Apparently DS woke up...

Well I can tell you my underwear drawer obviously speaks of my previous profession. I no longer even have underwear in it but I still call it my underwear drawer. It’s full of maybe 6 different size bandages, betadine, coveted ace wraps 😆, non-sterile 3X3’s and such. A few OTC meds and a battery...

🤷‍♀️I think I have eggs somewhere but they are elusive. One day I’ll get all my ducks in a row. Oh yeah…my duck. Well she vanished about 4 weeks ago so 🤦‍♀️

I have been a nurse for 3 decades and mainly I just closed wounds with steri strips but the one time I needed to stitch a human was probably 15 years ago. He was refusing to go to the hospital. My oldest DD noticed I couldn’t pierce his skin with my sewing needles so she gave me some super sharp...

Scary!! It’s not like I also had been expecting company to show up but I needed to doctor up DD who insists on staying at the ex and I had so much to accomplish before leaving and the FLOOR!! Omg!! DH undresses wherever he wants to and just drops his clothes on the floor and forgets it there...

Only problem is I can’t really eat much of the coon because of the gout. Maybe just mess up some rice with the gravy it makes. And have a side with salad. I know we’ll have enough onions for the dish for sure. Coming back from DH’s appointment. The NP wants him to continue on MORE antibiotics...

I mean the only thing I can think of to keep an epinephrine injection ready to go next time and watch for at least half an hour but you need exact measurements for sure for epinephrine. I had a scare once after administering it to a 4 year old child. I get nervous with epinephrine. I have given...

DH’s nephew has been working with Grand Isle Shipyard and has to do ‘tests’…whatever that means 🤷‍♀️. So he has been knowing about a serious raccoon problem in the work area and he said he could fix the problem. He showed up with a bunch of traps he started putting in various locations and then...

I woke up cuz DH was jamming out to Cajun music. I swear I felt like I was 7 years old and at my grandparents house. I felt like coming out of the room and saying, “Shouldn’t I be smelling bacon frying and coffee brewing?” Well I did have the coffee. Omg he has been busy!! I was tempted to take...

I went to put a bid on a Tahoe the port commission was auctioning off but I was an hour too late. I really thought it was later 🤦‍♀️. My meds mess with my mind. I didn’t get the part time job as a bridge tender either. So just boost up frugality and homesteading as soon as I can get my left...

It’s been a minute. So I have a possible diagnosis of gout but for sure I have increased uric acid levels in my blood. My X-ray of my knee only reveals arthritis. So my plan is to avoid red meats for a while and drink more water and take my meds. The bed warmer feels better than ever. I have to...

Working a bit through my pain. Fortunately it’s just in my left knee. But I feel like I accomplished something major because I finally got the trash freezer emptied. I needed to use a big knife to free some of the stuff and I tore a few bags which dictated what I am now cooking. Ordinarily when...

Omg!! DH has some really awesome friends!! He gets a call this morning from his trawler friend who was sick of selling and he had some small size shrimp perfect for ettoufette and fricassee. I think he gave him about 40 pounds and DH bought the next size over for $1/pound. He bought $60 worth...
