Just a thought. I have three dogs that are nowhere near as bladder trained as I am and I don’t yet have my fencing up to allow them to go outside on their own as I used to have set up for them... so I am frequently awakened at odd times of the night with an old boxer staring at me. Now, no one ever... Sign in to see full entry.

We had a pleasant rain that started at about 10 last night, and it continued most of the night. The only ones inconvenienced were the dogs who weren't particularly happy about having to go outside to do their thing. I'm feeling better, but not 100% yet. This flu seems to have no intention of leaving... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I'm still a long way from feeling good, but I am feeling better. I didn't sleep the best, but the dog was insistent on going outside... so I'm making a short post and going back to bed... but first... As I've eluded to several times, I have a Vella project titled, "Dealing With Grief."... Sign in to see full entry.

I slept better last night. I normally go to bed around 12:30-1 AM, but I think I was asleep before 10, and I slept through the night until 9 this morning, something very unusual for me. As several of you have commented and I have talked about, all work here has come to a halt if it requires me to do... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm feeling a little better after going to the ER last night with a fever of 103.8. Two liters of Normal Saline and Zanamivir at a fairly rapid pace, along with some nebulizer treatments of the same med after being diagnosed with Viral pneumonia, I came home at about 4AM this morning with the...

The Day Got Off To A Bad Start
The cell phone rang at 6:33 this morning. It was another call from a friend who is deeply depressed. She is in deep financial trouble, can't pay her electric bill, and can't properly feed her two kids. Her husband died three days after getting his fourth "vax shot" and he didn't have any kind of...

We spent a lot of unexpected time in Live Oak yesterday. It was my intention to pick up a few things Walmart can't ship us and then went over to Lowes to look at a new kitchen cupboard setup. But it turned out to be a looking situation only. The prices of the set we had looked at six months ago have... Sign in to see full entry.

Another cool evening. We have a small portable 12,000 BTU LP gas heater that keeps our room warm enough to sleep comfortably. I have a new 35,000 BTU furnace coming next week like the ones we had in Newberry. It is supposed to hit 88 this afternoon, so we are driving over to Live Oak to get supplies...

Good morning. We are off to a pleasant day and I have hopes it will remain that way. We had a new "mini oven" delivered yesterday, and in a few minutes, I have to go to the hardware to buy a brass fitting that will be about three inches long and will cost me more than my mortgage payment was. The... Sign in to see full entry.

It was down to 44 last night. After weeks and weeks of 95 and above, nights in the 40s are "uncomfortable." I'm waiting for a guy to wander down here to finish working on our car. It's drivable and such, but I have a headlight out. A few years ago, you could change your own headlights, but now you... Sign in to see full entry.
