i was up early today as i needed to shower and get ready to go out. today was shopping day. grocery shopping is always hard for me. all the lifting of heavy stuff like cat litter. i didnt want to go to walmart or value village. so i just did one stop and came home. i had to can the apple butter anyways.

i got the groceries put away and decided on something for dinner. i made chicken with corn and potatoes. turned out ok. i got the apple butter canned and jars boxed up but need to be labled. now i need to get caught up on dishes again. it seems its never ending. if it was just me i certainly would not make such big meals anymore.

the bunny is doing well and loves to run around the house. i have never seen such a small creature poop so much. i wash the floor alot.

my surprise babies are doing well . i have 3 dark doves and 1 light . nice looking birds and mom and dad are good parents.

i managed to finish my postcard to send overseas. it is drying on my desk. will address it and write a note on it later. i think it turned out good. i also finished a note card to send to another penpal. will try and get them in the mail asap.

pain levels are coming back up today. i felt it when i was shopping. i did my shot of jello and feel a little better now. hope i sleep tonight. i didnt sleep well last night. lots of pain in my shoulders and hips.

i often wonder if my kids and grandkids think of me, or am i now forgotten on the garbage pile of life....i miss them so much.

see you all tomorrow....

i got up late this morning. it was almost 8am. i never sleep that late. i went to bed at 10 last night. its like geezz gonna sleep my life away now. i have too many chores to do now for that to happen.

no idea what to make for dinner now. the idea i had brent does not want. so he is having the left over steak. me i have no clue. i have no desire to eat anymore. nothing appeals to me. i started making some apple butter yesterday , its in the slow cooker now. it smells good and it will be good on toast. i used up the apples i had. they are not keeping right now. so will wait until they are in season to buy more.

i have some bananas to use up again. time to make some muffins. i have not been doing much baking as it has been too hot and i am usually in alot of pain.

i was busy this morning , i got the cages done and most of the dishes. floors got swept twice so far today, seems they are always needing to be swept or washed. still need to tidy the front hall and change the sheets. cant put out laundry today as we are supposed to get rain again.

loki is getting better, but still is moving slow. he went in and had a nap with the rabbit earlier. i think he wanted some company. and apollo didnt seem to mind. one day i think i may find them curled up together. i have been brushing the rabbit and some of his baby fur is coming out. he has great colouring , and when he is in the mood he likes to sit on my lap. it was funny watching him racing around the house today. hopping so fast after the cats, trying to keep up.

i have to get the postcard finished to mail out tomorrow. it is going overseas.

i want to change the tea cups again. i am not keeping track of how long the cups are on display but i guess i should. it would mean a more regular rotation.

i am going to close here for now and get back to work....see you all tomorrow.

its monday, and brent is not feeling well. i gave him some asprin yesterday because he said he was very sore . we seem to think he has become intolerant to asprin now. so we will have to remember not to let brent have asprin anymore. men can be babies when sick. i was up early and made tea but no coffee because i dont think brent could drink any of it today. so for me its time for meds and in a bit get ready to start chores. those never end thats for sure.

i will need to get another bag ready for donation this week to. last time ok i was at the thrift shop i bought a new summer dress i really liked and it fit. i also bought some craft supplies for my art journals.

i have not done much on my art journals lately. i think its because brent is home working and his hours keep changing and i cant seem to get a new routine going.

not sure what the day will hold for me , we shall see....be back later

ok later now. i got lots done while brent was in bed. i cooked off all the apples to make apple butter. i did some laundry and dishes of course. cleaned the aviary and feed everyone. i made some soup for brent , not homemade but it helped anyhow. got some of the table cleared off and tried to work on my postcard thats going to the uk. glue takes forever to dry.

the weather has stayed cool so i think i will put the blanket back on the bed after my shower. it was 10c when i got up this morning.

the pain level is low today. i was surprised as i got so much done with out needing more pain meds. the only thing that is up is my acid reflux, guess i better break out the pineapple juice.

my cat loki is still feeling bad after his escape overnight. his face is all swollen and his body hurts i think. no broken skin i could see. i could not pick him up. he would not let me.

its getting late and time for my shower....see you all tomorrow....

well didnt i brain fart on friday. i wrote and entry but didnt publish it. so there will be 2 today. one from friday and one from today. its rainy today and we spent alot of the day inside of course.

our picnic went well yesterday. i packed enough food for about 6 people. i neve know how much to make as brent is always hungry. he is skinny as a rake and eats like there is no tomorrow. so i packed 4 sausage, and 3 small steaks. i made macaroni salad and veg and dip. there was fruit for snack . we packed enough equipment for a weekend of camping, geez . anyhow we are not allowed to do over night camping right now. we found a nice spot and spent the day relaxing. brent did some fishing. i did some knitting and of course got lunch and dinner ready too. the day was very warm and i fell asleep in the shade. my fibro was pretty good considering all the work i did the day before. i just get tired easily. brent says i slept for about 45 min.

dinner turned out good. we cooked it on the bbq. first one we have had all summer. i made up some mushrooms and onions too. been a long time since we spent time outside like that.

brent says he is worried that i wont go outside anymore. i do go out. mostly to the store and back . errands and such too. i think with the problems with my eyes i am not wanting to take a chance and drive. even though i have been driving because i have to, not because i want to. its true i dont want to go out. i dont want to deal with people and all the crap out there. i dont want to deal with peoples attitude and what ever their mood is that day. i am so tired of it.

i have no desire to meet people anymore. i never was one to have many friends, and over the last few years a lot of the friends i did have stopped keeping in touch. i did try and keep in touch with them but got no response. so i gave up. i wont chase people.

anyhow back to the picnic. we had a great day , great weather . after dinner we had a small fire and watched the sun start to go down over the water. we didnt see any wild life but alot of bugs oh and the mouse who tried to get into the bbq.

i was very very tired when we got home it was after dark. while unloading the car one of the cats got out. he would not come back in until this morning. brent says he heard cats fighting in our yard. so loki did the walk of shame this morning. he came in and went to get something to eat and then to sleep in the tub. why he sleeps in the tub i have no idea. but i dont see any visible injuries , maybe just his ego. his brothers have been keeping an eye on him.

i am going to close here for now as i am getting tired....see you all tomorrow...i will post this time....ha

a very busy day i am getting the food ready for the picnic tomorrow. we will be gone most of the day so i dont think i will have a chance to write and entry tomorrow.

brent wants to leave early and we may not be back until after dark. he wants to do a campfire too. it will be a long day for me. i am not used to being out of the house that long anymore.

i was sick this morning too. came on so fast i barely made it to the bathroom. i managed to keep down breakfast later on.

i had to go out to walmart and get a few things as well. then it was off to the butcher to get some sausage for lunch tomorrow. i am sure there is more than enough food for the day for him. he also wants to do some fishing. so i think it will be a quiet day for me, knitting and or reading, and cooking.

i am having a hard time eating meat these days. i dont like the taste , the look or anything else about it. it does not sit well in my tummy either. so i dont think i will be eating much, which is fine. it will depend on how my stomach is tomorrow , most days i just feel sick.

the first 2 surprise babies are now feathered in and they are quite nice. one is light tan the other dark. dont like be reaching in to check them but that is normal.

its getting late and i better get to bed....i am going to need some sleep

see you all tomorrow...

its been a rather strange day for weather. a sun shower downpour, then the sun is back out and it was cloudy all morning.

it is also banking day, so i was out driving to the bank and to the store. still finding it hard sometimes but i am driving. so bills are paid and we have food and gas in the car. i think we are doing ok.

its a long weekend starting tomorrow. brent has planned a picnic for sat. so guess who has to get everything ready ...me...oh well. i best get busy tomorrow and get the picnic basket ready and find the cooler.

i finally finished brents ankle socks. he really likes them. i am glad for that. it takes so long for me to knit a sock i would not know what to do if he said he didnt like them. i stated a pair for me today.

i also got penpal mail yesterday. a postcard from england. i have to get my butt in gear now and make one to send back asap. i have a few ideas. it just takes forever for glue to dry. i have to make sure it will hold up in the mail. it has a long way to go. i also got a tip off facebook for how to use the die cuts i have bought....put the through the pasta maker....works like a charm and i saved 300.00 , even better.

i started back on the cdb oil this week. seems to be helping me pain wise. wish it could give me energy too. i hate spending the day dragging my butt around trying to get things done.

i am going to close here and let the rabbit out for a bit....

see you all tomorrow....

busy day yesterday. i got shopping done and a few other errands. so i am now good for the rest of the week. its a long weekend this week so not sure if we are going to need anything else.

i totally forgot about doing an entry yesterday. brain fog caught up with me. it happens more often now.

i went and had my hair done today too. the salon person didnt cut much off. which i was glad about , but just cutting that little bit off made a difference in how my hair looks now. i like it but its going to take awhile to get used to. my hair is very curly now. i like it this way.

brent and i are not eating meals together anymore right now as his work hours have changed yet again. he started today at 330 no idea when he will finish. but it sure makes the evenings quiet. i occupy my time with chores and knitting and tv, and working on my laptop when there are no cats with me.

i stopped and got feed today, i may not need it for about a week or so but i was in the area . oh and i found 2 more surprise babies....i think they may survive but time will tell.

i am pretty tired today as the haircut thing was nerve wrecking for me. i dont like going to a salon as all they want to do is cut it all off. but it went well today and the lady understood what i wanted and respected my wishes.

i am going to close here for today...and see you all tomorrow....

its another monday. my eye is healing well thank goodness. i made an appt to get my hair done on wed. its been well over 10 yrs since i last went to a salon to get my hair done. i am not thrilled about having to cut my hair. why am i cutting it? its because my hair is getting so thin now its probably time. i can only imagine what my hair will look like with hat head in the winter.

we are supposed to get a thunder storm today. so far nothing. its hot and humid, even the cats are just laying around. the day has gone by so fast. between all of the drops i have to do which is 4 times a day right now, and chores and trying to get some things moved the day is almost over. i have half frozen chicken in the oven . i feel to sick to eat right now. stomach is upset, but when is it not.

i am still trying to finish a sock . seems i just cant focus on anything. i tried to work on some art and that was a bust. tried to knit , and fingers hurt. dont even want to play the games on facebook. i just watch or listen to tv. listen when i am working around the house.

it rained last night so i dont have to water. i do have to do some weeding. i am drying some of them for the rabbit. he does not seem to like the store bought hay i got for him. i think he is a very spoiled rabbit.

so it was toast for dinner and one of my canned v8's. about all i can handle right now. maybe something more later. its not like i cant stand to loose a few pounds.....

see you tomorrow

another day home. we didnt plan to do anything today. i have been working around the house as usual. trying to make up for not being able to get things done the last few days.

when i have a day where i am ok pain wise, i tend to over due it. i know i shouldnt be its hard not to when you know you need to get stuff done. now i need to move the trunk to be able to fit the rabbit cage better. so it means i need to move stuff around in the sun room and then pull the trunk in there. so for me thats a couple of days work. it also means finding new places for the stuff on the trunk as well. now that i have this work to do its turned hot and humid again.

brent has been great helping more around the house but i still feel i should be doing more while off work. there is going to come a day when i wont be able to do much at all. i have seen the ravages of fibro and its not pretty....

see you tomorrow
