TheCG Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Uh oh. Hubby started commenting on moving the box of rice under the bed into the pantry...and on the number of mason jars under there. *whistles innocently* 3 1 Quote Link to post
Mt_Rider Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 your migraine goes away, Jeepers. Headaches can be so debilitating! I used to get the light-sensitive ones with some regularity. But have recently realized....I haven't been getting them....???? What changed? The one tiny white prescription allergy pill I've taken since Aug???? If so.......NICE! OTOH....I don't feel good. Haven't for a while and .....it's very non-specific. Not able to walk dog. Seems like every time I go 'into town' ...mostly to see my folks, I wipe out for DAYS afterwards. Used to be 2 days. Mebbe I've aged in the last 5 months???? Or just lost stamina??? Dunno. MtRider 4 Quote Link to post
snapshotmiki Posted Monday at 10:56 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:56 PM Hope you're feeling a little better, Mt. Rider! Picked up a bottle of L-Lysine this morning for immune system. No truck yet at hardware store so no propane tank either. Came home and walked. Walked dogs. Sure seems like I've done more than that, but can't think of what it was. Tomorrow, DH takes his friend for his court date. Will be a relief to get him there and maybe have that over! 4 Quote Link to post
snapshotmiki Posted Tuesday at 02:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:07 PM Good morning, everyone! Praying for Littlesister this morning. You are on my mind today! DH is already on his way for taking friend to court. Need to make some pudding. I have to feed and let dogs out. Go to Urgent care. (having an issue with a toe that is messing up my walking and you know I can't have that)! It was going to be a week and a half before I could get in to my primary care doc. When I come home, I will pressure can some leftover dip. Re-arrange laundry room so I can fit the small freezer in that I got for $25. Walk (I hope)! 4 1 Quote Link to post

MIL seems set about coming next month & staying until the end of May. ...Home again, home again, jiggity jig. It seems like it is going to be busy today. Laundry from the trip; change sheets; slicing, packaging, putting up the meat I got in TX; dividing, putting up a 40 lb. box of ‘stuff’ DH ordered while I was gone, and... trying or figure out how to organize my kitchen. I have to get it done before MIL gets here. Her house is spotless with no clutter anywhere. The stacks of boxes, cans & jars won’t do, too many supplies, too little space... 5 1 Quote Link to post

Mt_Rider Posted Wednesday at 04:50 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:50 AM Too much stuff vs space .....oh yeah. Doing that too. I just don't have anyone visit. I felt a bit better today. Got a bit done here and there. Just not feeling mildly wretched was very nice! Still haven't walked again ....or done a square foot of clutter cleaning. I do get such satisfaction if I can do either/both of those!! BUT I'm back up to speed on my Hawaiian lessons. Whew....don't want to take a long break from that again! I guess it's saving my brain from vegetation...... We've had a couple of nice days and most of tomorrow. BUT....winter cometh... All the way down the Rockies. Texas is not on the map for this one. We might be in for some really MEASURABLE SNOWFALL. {Yeah, I know.....snow waters our drought....less summer wildfires....} Annarchy, how did your MIL do in her area with the FRIGID COLD and electrical issues??

Thank you! It is. DH got friend to court yesterday and it was just to do a not guilty plea. Now waiting til the beginning of May for next court date. Turns out, I can't go to the only Urgent care my insurance takes unless my PCP refers me. What's the point of calling it Urgent care? My doc got me in when she found that I was going somewhere else. Also yesterday, did laundry and made a loaf of cheese bread in a bundt pan. Turned out great! Today, I have been washing rugs and dog blankets, while I had help for top to bottom clean in the house. Walked dogs. Still need to walk me. Re-arrange laundry room for freezer. 1 Quote Link to post
Littlesister Posted Wednesday at 09:47 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:47 PM I want to thank everyone for the prayers and caring thoughts and virtual hugs from all of you. This has been a very hard struggle for me. Though I knew Dh's time was was coming for Jesus to call him home. When I called 911 to get him to hospital on the 13th, his organs started failing as soon as he got to ER. He went into sudden total renal failure as his heart was to weak to pump. He pasted at 5 am on Sunday the 14th, the same day his mother passed in 1981. Both passed on Valentines day. 40 years apart. So I know he is celebrating valentines day with her. I still won't be on here as I am trying to get our trust straight and also his father's trust as I am executor of his father's estate and need to see a lawyer to get that money dispersed to my step daughter and Dh's niece. So much paperwork to get done and it is frying my brain to thank of everything I need to do. I just think we have to much stuff. Banks, insurances, trust x 2, taxes, and so much more to deal with. Even our homeowner's insurance has to be transferred into my name. It's crazy but I will get it done and come back to read everything I have missed. I know some of you have had medical issues, some traveling and the bad weather as well to deal with. My prayers are with all that need prayers for travel and illness. Take care and will be back as soon as I can. 8 Quote Link to post

Jeepers Posted Thursday at 07:08 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:08 AM Nice to see you post Littlesister. Take your time through this process. We aren't going anywhere. We'll still be here when you are ready. 1 Quote Link to post
snapshotmiki Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM Today, after feeding dogs, I will walk. Walk dogs. Take eBay photos. Ready DH's meds for the next month. Hard boil eggs. Call Tractor Supply around noon--still trying to track down a 30# propane tank. Order my train tickets for June's adventure. Make Goulash for dinner. Tired me out just writing it!

The WE2's Posted Friday at 03:20 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:20 AM Worked most of yesterday at the homestead sorting and organizing everything that we had sort of stuck where it would fit...that was surprising! Almost a treasure hunt! LOL Took laundry with me so it could dry while I was working. The dryer here is too dangerous to use, so I was here and take there unless it's summer. Then I hang outside. Today, hubby worked there and I worked here getting things caught up. Kind of tough maintaining two places. Mixed up a pound of ground venison and a pound of ground sausage with stove stop dressing and a couple eggs then we had salisbury steaks smothered in mushroom gravy, along with steamed potatoes and sweet corn...for supper. Dishes are done, clothes folded and put away from yesterday (left them...too tired to mess with last night) and I'm fixin' on retiring for the evening. We did lose a dear friend this week. Such a shock for us. Non virus. He had his shoulder operated on last year, then had prostrate surgery early this month, and then suddenly had two successive heart attacks. Only in his late 50's. She's devastated. He fought such battles and then to have that happen is just so mind boggeling for all of us. 6 Quote Link to post
Mt_Rider Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Wow, that's a shock, WE2. Miki......come drag me out of my house to walk with you!!!!!!! Not today tho. Today was FREEEEEZING! Not such low temp but screaming WIND across the new-fallen snow. But hey, it blew our driveway clear enough to save $ on snowplowing again. But I stayed inside and blocked the gaps in front door with a towel on floor and folded newspapers wedged in the vertical gap. Big gaps. OLD log cabin. Thankful for the pellet stove. I did almost clear a One Square Foot today. The pile on top of the printer. Well....every horizontal space gets used here. Didn't quite clear it tho.... Third day after going into town and my energy was better. Watched for hand tremors and rested. Trying to be careful but .... MtRider ....I think this week will be mild and "normal" ....for CO Rockies, that is. 1 Quote Link to post

LOL With all your ice! On Friday, a friend gave me so many clothes that she had outgrown, in my size! 1 huge box, 2 big boxes and a huge beach bag full! Will be going through them this week. All nice clothes and lots of flannel pjs and sweaters! Looking forward to doing this! Yesterday another friend who recently harvested some deer gave me a few pounds of deer sausage and some ground venison! Our cast iron propane burner set is here and our tank is supposed to get here Tuesday. Not going to get caught again with no type of heat at all! Today, already made Jello. Feed dogs. Do video. Church. Order Amtrak tickets for June. Yay! Move the little freezer into the house now that the top is sanded and painted. Maybe lady's group later? Check out switching internet company. It's getting ridiculous! Edited 1 hour ago by snapshotmiki Quote Link to post
