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...

I pushed the ADON for another shift of training on a different shift and I went in with a by the book nurse. I realize that if we are under state inspection this is the way to go and yes I know how to do it correctly but my body can’t handle that anymore. I came home in a really bad way and once...

I have only used it for coughs in two ways. The first time was as a smoke additive. I mixed mullein, rose pedals and catnip with tobacco to decrease the amount of tobacco a smoker use and the next time use less and less tobacco until I was only using herbs or just make a cigarette with pure...

Sometimes our critters get corn but mostly I think they come around to escape the 4 wheelers and hunters from other properties. I guess that’s a blessing for me. Kinda like money in the bank.

Loquat or Japanese Plum.

I started a job as a nurse 2 nights ago but my back was really stiff. I wore a scrub dress I had only just finished. I was able to do a lot of the computer work. I accidentally left my cheat sheet at the desk. Hopefully someone puts it with my big envelope that’s now waiting for me with my badge...
