Early Start Day.

 Early Start Day.

 

Got my shower taken and hair almost dry before taking off to go pick up the prescriptions from United pharmacy this morning. Got back and made a “Sterling special” of two eggs, cheese, milk, and a little wrap thing in a bowl to put in the microwave for breakfast. That makes a decent meal and is only one bowl to clean up with a couple of forks. And it is so much cheaper than buying an egg wrap at Taco Bell or someplace. As it was, the visit to the pharmacy was too expensive! But that was the last time to have to get those drops for my eyes and for the pain meds to be refilled. Have not had to take much for pain lately except for the dadgummed shoulder (rotator cuff) where the old woman landed when the dogs pulled/pushed me down on the porch. Now one dog is confined to the kitchen while the other dog is loaded in the truck. No way they can get me between them again that way.

 

Patty watches TV quite a bit—well, nearly all the time—and someone named Gregg Gutfeld said that Hillary’s staff asked for a blue background and “beauty lighting” for her deposition before Congress the other day. They had to refuse since they said she could not give a deposition in the dark. Ahem. Yes, that is semi-political. So, sue me?

 

Sterling was bragging about the rain that they got up there in Arkansas this morning. Well, we have some clouds now with a sweet breeze at least. Saw a drop of dew on one of my bluebonnet rhizomes out in the walkway earlier, so maybe our ground is getting some good from the humidity at least. May God give our land the moisture it needs and fill up the stock tanks and lakes again.

 

The silly Bradford pear is beginning to bloom. Useless piece of garbage that the dumb ol’ woman planted umpteen years ago. Sterling said that they are trying to get rid of them in Arkansas because they are considered invasive. Sigh. Now the good things are beginning to bloom, too. The neighbor behind me may not have anything else going for her yard, but her peach tree is blooming such pretty pink blooms. Here’s hoping she gets a bumper crop!

 

Love this ninja cooker that Jennifer had sent here. That thing is so easy to clean up, and it cooks slowly—or quickly—just the way things need to cook. Then there is the ninja coffee maker! Talk about smooth coffee! My decaf French Market with chicory is delicious! Some of the latest cooking instruments are really an improvement on what we have had in the past.

 

Patty just called me to say that a delivery guy had brought her Thompson’s Rx, so in the morning, the old woman will go down and put her trash in the bin and pick up Thompson’s meds. Meanwhile, another delivery guy just brought half of an Amazon order to my dogs. Turkey Tendon Strips! Oh boy!

 

My “supper” is ready now. The dogs have already been fed even though it is pretty early, but the old woman may have some veggies with her cooked chicken here in a few minutes. The scales at Dr. Kern’s office showed a seven-pound gain since the last visit. DANG it! Carbs and sweets. Sigh. Need to stick to more veggies and just have cheese instead of sweets. Nothing like trying to keep one’s calorie intake at a minimum or at least to reduce the amount gained. You’d think by this age one would have figured out how to do a better job of handling weight gains.

 

Patty was just now telling me about the humongous distortion of costs for an advertisement put out by a Christie Noem. Sounds as if someone is getting a bundle of money on taxpayer expense. Nothing unusual, but still just as wrong as ever! Can’t imagine how much could be saved if honesty were a prerequisite to being in public office. May God help us to find honest men and women to serve this nation.

 

Well, we still have reason to be grateful for the beauty around us. We don’t need AI to present the awesomeness of spring and the sweet creatures that fill our lives. Let us look for truth and beauty in our lives with joy.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
