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.

My sister cooked a dish once that I ate which her deceased FIL had grown. I really think this is it.

Is this Taro Plant? Also…while we at it maybe give me similar ideas for a permanent survival garden.

It’s so hot that the trellis DH planted our merlitons on has some yellow leaves and it’s making me nervous because he suspects the neighbors of going too wild with their RoundUp. I seriously got to move him and me to the orchard. We don’t belong with a bunch of people. I mean maybe it’s just HOT!!

Yeah….my current home was a very old house my in-laws bought over 65 years ago that already had a history. People have been born and died in the house. But it’s a shotgun style house, popular in southeast Louisiana. It looks like it’s an ideal type house for the area. Lots of them are just...

So I live in the Deep South. It’s currently 91F outside and rising. Expected to get up to 97 and that’s not even the hottest it’s been lately. Fortunately we are in a small house so less place to cool. Looking for ideas and inspiration from others on cheap or free ways to beat the heat. So...

My sister has a lot of Cuban connections and she now makes a rice dish with black beans. It’s similar to jambalaya us Cajuns make. Just wondering how you served it.
