Hello everyone. I have been home for a few weeks recuperating from surgery. I miss my job. I really need a pedicure but I can’t reach my feet. So tomorrow morning I will go for my first radiation treatment. My back has like a constant ache that varies in degrees of discomfort. My ribs seem to...

What can I say? It’s such a big pill to swallow

I have been away for a while. Let me explain. I have a new grandchild who was born a bit early but is doing fine. I had promised to come through for my DIL so I pulled a lot of overtime. I have spread blessings around. Then the pain set in my sciatic nerve and went down to legs and it was really...

It’s great until hurricane season. But I put up with the inconvenience for the benefits. As a small child I lived in the southeast of Australia and my father worked as a tugboat captain and worked around New Zealand and Australia. I feel connected in a way to that region, as it was the first...

I am a US citizen but as a very small child I grew up for a time in Australia, which is a Common Wealth country and recognizes her sovereignty so it hits me different than most people I know. I went from recognizing a queen to having a president.

I tell you what…. Several months ago I was letting DD learn to drive by taking the dog (Trouble), run in the sugarcane fields in the back of our home to the boat launch and a herd of wild pigs passed in front of the truck at night. There must have been at least 30 of them. We were just glad...

Great read. I am too far from the bayou to tap in for hydropower but I have considered collecting water with a gutter system and wheel before it goes into a cistern and even the overflow can be wheeled with an attached alternator and emptied into the pond for the animals and charge a battery...

Pray for me please…. All of y’all!!! We have various mailing addresses and DH puts stuff down anywhere and it really is getting to be a problem. He put a subpoena down in the truck and fortunately I found it before the date, although it was cancelled. Now I see a grant for our parish for...

DD is slacking but I am still glad she is with me. I put all my uniforms to wash this morning and took my night meds and waited until I couldn’t stay awoke and I asked her to hang my clothes. 😣she didn’t!! Oh well I got her to do it late and I am wearing clothes…. Not a scrub. I also call her...

At this time last year I was going through an absolute living hell, following Hurricane Ida. So 2 nights ago we went to the Dollar Tree because I knew I needed shoe laces for DD but when I am there, I stick up on shelf milk. When you are surviving a huge power outage and there are no stores...

My phone rang so many times and texts kept coming in 😖. One of them from my new ADON who has maybe been an LPN 6 years…. Me 29. Her and the outgoing ADON are desperate to know if I still have to go for jury duty because if I do, one of them have to work in my position. I can’t call before 4:30...

Yeah I am very late with my blood work but I’m finally on a good roll so I am hoping if I can keep this up a while that my blood will tell a good story on me and I can actually go through life without too many prescriptions. I guess I am avoiding the Doc. A few days ago I was afraid I would have...

Okay now I call back and I am told not a torn rotator cuff but a worn rotator cuff so basically I am old and used up. So I have taken to riding my tricycle everyday. The first time I overdid it so I have now set a stopping point that was originally 5 minutes away from the house but I am making...

Well I have a torn rotator cuff. I found out yesterday and today I called back to get referred for treatment options. I had a few really hard nights at work, followed by easy nights. Kinda like a seesaw. I don’t need this.

Momma insisted geese would eat her oranges off the trees. I will have to figure something out. Maybe I can make a bunch of chicken tractors and rabbit tractors.

One shift down. 3 to go 😫. I try to wake up slow with coffee and gather my thoughts but DH is here and I need to collect his thoughts too. Omg… he pulled out his art pad. When he is chill and is thinking about paddling his pirouge…no problem. I will see alligators and raccoons and maybe a nice...

Lunch. One single ribeye with a few cups of green and purple cabbage, mushrooms, celery and a Bell Pepper. Seasoned with little Dale’s, some Creole seasoning and garlic powder. I am steaming rice for DD15 at her request but I ate my serving just like that. It’s really good 😊.

DH has been working on this oversized tractor to house whatever animals he wants. I really don’t know how we will relocate it later to the orchard though.

I have lost track of time. I am probably 2 weeks without starches. Really slow progress. DD15 is here with her dog 🥰, who just survived a probable poison. I told her the dog would be safer here with us. Got her to drive Trouble and I in the cane fields for a doggie run last night. We have a...

I will ask if I can dig some up and see what the root looks like. I know the old man farmed there. If I am correct I will dig up a lot…cook some and plant some. Apparently it’s very healthy and won’t do the damage of potatoes. My godchild’s husband claims people use it as baby food in Cuba.
