Random thoughts from the moose cave.

got my last sheet of plywood cut and temporarily laid down. I gotta figure out how Ima anchor the end piece...

I'm waiting on my drill to recharge. my spare battery is junk.

I'm putting up chair stops and handrails to keep him from tumbling offa the porch until I can get some lattice bought and installed.

then Ima water and crash.

tomorrow is gonna come early.

more home health folks here again...

I get exhausted reading this thread.

Enough already.

I'd like to stop and rest, muckty, but I'm out of timeouts.

gonna nap for a bit. gotta be good at 9.

I'm never good at 9...

here's hoping 9:00 a.m. wasn't revolting

t'was.

and we are still awaiting a visit.

from here on out, we're gonna have to have a firm time for this to work...

I have other things to do than play necessary for legal purposes sidekick in a three ring circus of I don't know.

and my phone is shut down, so I don't really know who has called.

I hate vurizon...

I need a vacation.

I just lost it with smoky. had to leave for a bit...

nobody ever showed today.

got his dishes all done, and am washing his soiled bedding.

his laundry is one load from done.

gotta wait for the trash service before I can throw much more away.

and I went in to sit and have a salad where it's cool, and he is wobbling around with his cane trying to find what "I did" with his phone charger.

and then wanting to go through the piles for silly little **** that may or may not be there.

I tried to explain to him that if he falls again, they're not gonna let him come home again.

damned if I don't need a calgon moment...

spent some time in the pond garden. itsa verra peaceful place, even when it's 100 out. nice deep shade, and water plants rustling in the breeze...

got my 15th money delivered. he forgot to mail it and his car has A/C. so, he brought his german shepherd with and let her run the farm. (excited the feral cats a bit). and then I put some of it in the bank so my phone can be reinstated.

the rest needs to buy some food...

gotta put together dinner for smoky now.

I think we're having chinese chicken and rice.

If I have enough veggies...

That phone company gives me fits too.

wishing you peace. and patience....lots of it.

and enough veggies. Going to make dinner myself now.

hugs!

nope.

not enough veggies to make chimese worthwhile.

having chickin Italiano. with an assist to mr newman...

Ima make him some garlic bread to go with.

I'll have a salad instead...

Sorry bout the veggies...unfortunately wishing doesn't always work.

damn, his garlic bread smelled good...

not gonna waste my fake bread that way. too expensive...

he's contently eating and watching his rasslin'...

I'm adjusting my attitude and getting ready to go mow.

been watering out by his new front porch so it doesn't overlook a desert.

but the sandburrs are mostly what is flourishing.

gonna wear jeans so I don't curse so much...

dishes soaking. (my domestic skills are improving with accessibility to running hot water...

off to mow the sticker patch.

hope my tires hold up...

(tyres if your across the pond)

watering smoky's yard is like soaking a dry sponge.

had to stop for the night.

gonna call in my phone payment and crash hard.

home health s'posed to come again tomorrow. we'll see how that works...

Ima hafta have a nap tomorrow, I'm guessing.

my sleep meter is verra low...

paid my phone ransom.

fed the gatos.

and went out to commune with my chickens for a while (yes, I have socialist chickens)

they are verra mellow about this time of night/morning.

sleepy chickens.

I filled the feeders and gave them clean water. they think they are owls...

they sleep in the rafters of the coop.

several were too sleepy to eat, and they let me stroke their breasts and talk to them. (that sounds kinda off, but I am not molesting my hens)

they are starting to get their whiskers.

and they are beautiful birds. golden heads with mottled bodies. and my rooster is firkin gorgeous (I gave the ugly one to larry the chintz) he's black with tinges of red in his feathers.

and not as aggressive as the other guy was.

I'm hoping they stay as calm and quiet as they are now.

mellow chickens are the best...

gotta crash now.

Zzzz

smoky and I had a loud disagreement.

I resigned.

but I've been reinstated.

now I gotta go to colwich and get some vegematables...

Did the home health folks ever reappear?

how long does it take to get to Colwich for vegematables?

we're having a down for maintenance period at the moment.

not having much fun. or cooperation.

back when things stabilize a little.

maybe.

okey

finally had a competent visitor today.

the physical therapy guy...

and he's gonna try and straighten out the flaky gals that never showed. (they called and left a message for me to call them back and schedule a time for the visit. which I got yesterday when I left the property and my phone picked them up...)

why do you need an appointment with an old man that can't leave the house...?

he worked with smoky getting up and down the ramp, and into my truck with proper form. (we had been doing it right, gram is just now fully over her hip surgery from 6 years ago.)

and he wanted to know who smoky had build his porch and ramp, as it was much nicer than the average ramp he sees.

smoky even bragged on me a little...

twill be over a hundred for as far as they are forecasting. with no rain...
