Beth - I just realized I skipped over your photos of the reseeding and catchup on house residing. I have tried to reseed a few places in my yard and of course that's the first place the hens run to. Mine like scratching in anything that looks like bedding and houses bugs and worms. Shame on your neighbor for not taking your complaint about thir chicken's destruction seriously. Aren't they moving soon? Not soon enough?
You look mahvelous standing there with your rake by the way. What do you charge per hour and are you willing to travel?

Feeling better today. Less wonky. I was able to text with youngest, and eldest on Messenger chat. That was nice. They are good guys, and our conversations flow easily. Poor eldest sailor has been working long days, and his body is screaming at him. My youngest is dealing with wounds on his legs from the heat, his uniform, but he's on antibiotics. Both are in climates not forgiving. The Navy takes such physical tolls. When my eldest lived with us here on Whidbey, he'd come home from work with wounds on hands, arms, knees, and he would just brush them all off. Maybe he'd put a bandaid on them. 16+ years working on helicopters and jets does that I suppose.

Good Saturday morning!
So sad to see bad words used here about our loved ones.
My Grandmother taught me If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
Not sure this is the place for me?

I am currently in emerg, I woke up at 6am because my hand was throbbing. I thought I had just slept on it wrong, throughout the day the pain continued to get worse and I couldn’t hold a pen at the end of it. I tried heat, cold, Advil, Voltaren. Nothing worked, after class Rodger noticed my hand was swollen. He encouraged me to come to the hospital. I’ve been here 6 hours and was told about 5 hours ago it was about a 4 hour wait at that time barring emergencies. There are still 5 ahead of me. I think I’ll be getting home around 4am.
Debbie - your husband had you get up to move the recycling bin instead of going out and moving it himself? That’s beyond inconsiderate.
Just to show there is still kindness in the world. One lady was brought here by a friend after she was punched at her job. They arrived at 3 today. Around 7 he felt that everyone waiting must be hungry so he went and bought a pizza for all of us waiting to have a slice. I haven’t witnessed kindness like that in a long time.

I hope you are feeling better(haven't finished reading all the posts to see if you have updated yet)
I agree, he is inconsiderate. Happens often. I don't think he even realizes it anymore. He is so self centered most of the time that it doesn't even cross his mind how his actions are affecting me. It doesn't help that after so long, I just don't think twice, I just go fix the problem. Yes, he was just getting in the shower when he thought of it but we both would have to put pants on. He just didn't think that maybe HE could be the one to do it.

Finally, after 4 nights of insomnia, I was able to sleep pretty good, didn't take any melatonin. Did take a quick shower because the mosquito was back and I woke up with itchy bites all over. 5 min shower, back in bed and back asleep pretty quickly. Yes, I did wake up quite a few times, like usual but didn't stay awake any of the times.
Today I need to do some baking for potluck after church tomorrow. Need to find a Western outfit to wear- hopefully something will fit well enough
Dishes need to be done, need to clear off a place on the kitchen table to put one of the smaller 3D printers. We have three printing now and he wants to get at least the small one and maybe his other two, all up and running. Need to get lots of things printed before the show Black Friday weekend in SF.
Was going to clean out the catio but will wait until Tuesday- supposed to rain Monday so don't want to put fresh pine pellets in it and worry about the rain ruining it.2 -
I am amazed that we are supposed to be 'nice' and say nothing about a child being raped by its father, or a religious leader abusing generations of children. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Heather - I have business cards too, I always carry a few in my purse in case anyone wants a peek at our ornaments. I get a few views that way.
I’m glad you are feeling better.
Love the paintings. I enjoy a fan brush, I haven’t painted landscapes or anything in years.
Lanette - I love your girls stories each day.
I found my course through a FB ad. I think if it hadn’t of popped up I would have just continued applying for jobs.
Kylia - I hope you have a better day today. I hate when I’m arguing with DH, it just ruins everything.
Hope your granddaughter and daughter figure stuff out soon.
Beth - I missed your post yesterday. Are there bylaws for people who keep chickens? Here in our city there are rules that must be followed. You would think they would have to be responsible chicken owners.
Our project is delayed right now too. I can’t help with my hand and I didn’t have a pay so we need to wait a couple of weeks to finish up.
Barbara - thanks to your detailed post I noticed I had missed Beth’s post.
I’m glad Joe is happy about his Jeep, Rodger was that way with his truck.
I thankfully don’t have anyone selling any MLM right now that I’m aware of. I do like some of the products so if someone has a party I might buy something. I do want a few more pieces of Tupperware modular mates.
I’m with you on the chickens, I’m not a fan of any bird really.
I’ll keep looking for a doctor. As I learned last night at the hospital though our healthcare system is in crisis. Almost everyone there couldn’t get into a doctor. There were no real “emergencies”. On top of that, the hospitals in the city closed their emergency departments because they were overrun. When I left the hospital at 2am the city ones were still closed.
It’s frightening really.
Annie - some tough decisions for your parents will have to be made, I agree with your sister it would be a good time to clear the basement as you would have her there to help and maybe help convince your Dad if he is reluctant.
On the other hand there is enough going on so maybe she needs to commit to come back at another time to do it.
Rita - I have recommended your park to a friend of mine here that is planning on doing some travelling this winter. I showed her your pictures on FB and a few from here. I don’t know if she’s made a decision or not. I loved New Mexico when I drove through it almost 30 years ago now.
Allie - I think our parenting days are never done. My girls ask me for very little, they have extremely supportive husbands. I do offer to do for them though and when they ask I try to do. Hope you get some rest before the fair again.
In the last year I found the “trick” to get my back and hips to not be angry. I never sit for longer than 1/2 an hour at a time. (That started out at 15 minutes) and I never walk for more than 20 at a time. (I’ve gotten that up to about 45 now). I quit trying to push myself thinking it would be better because I learned it was making it worse. Try to sit a little at the fair frequently.
Rebecca - Eli is adorable. What a beautiful painting your sister did.
Vibrantreader - not everyone had a family without trauma, I think those reasons are justified and not rude. My Grandmother taught me to be kind too, but she also told me to be truthful. Sometimes the truth isn’t kind.
Joy - I hope you get your floors done quickly so you can relax. It’s a shame you have to wait on their timeline.
Lisa - Well said.
I got home from the hospital shortly after 2am. I have some inflammation for no known reason. He did bloodwork to make sure there was nothing going on with my white blood cells and to rule out a blood clot. He took an X-ray to ensure no break. He gave me prescription strength Aleve because of the inflammation that showed in the blood work and I am feeling some better this morning. 🤷♀️ who knows.
I have been invited to go craft this evening but may just stay home. I haven’t decided yet.

My sister is retiring at the end of the year so she was talking about returning in the Spring to work on the basement. This visit is too short to start anything like that. So for now it's a seed planted.
I did get laundry done. I also went through my dad's piles of mail that were dominating the kitchen table. I found three bills and one piece of mine among two grocery bags of junk mail. I hope he is grateful and not upset. So far he doesn't seem to have noticed.
The funeral was over at four. I don't know why I thought it would last until six or so. My sister is out walking now. I admire her dedication to her steps.
Hmm. Maybe I should tackle some of my own paperwork.

Lisa thanks for taking care of our troll.... and Margaret thanks for taking the high road... We have our ups and downs but most everyone is supportive
I had troll dolls as a kid and always think of the naked dolls with crazy hair when an internet troll is mentioned.

Using profanity.. in reference to one’s granddaughter. Our society has become so desensitized to it, it has been excepted as ok , even normal. As it is here, on this group and defended by other’s here. No Thank you.. I won’t be a part.
I appreciate the explanations and excuses of why the profanity of this young girl is ok here. But it is not ok.
