    Are we living our dream?

    Not so much I want to reply but I can’t remember how to just make a new entry 🤦‍♀️. So it’s been a while. Mostly I am well. I went for a new CT scan yesterday and bloodwork and I see my oncologist on the 17th, followed by my bone density infusion. It’s harvest season in the orchard and I have a...

    Are we living our dream?

    My MRI and CT scan revealed no new growth on my spinal column so I’m probably fine for removal of the hardware that is holding me together. And I was examined by another dentist who is in love with my 32 teeth and says I can keep them and start bone density treatments rather than have my wisdom...

    Finances, Stock Market, Money Market, Mutual Funds, Investments, Savings, etc.

    I have two stocks in particular I have been looking at. Amazon and PayPal. For personal reasons I regret buying them but money is money sometimes. But I am currently in a slight red with both of them. As soon as the scale starts to tip me in the other direction I will sell and add onto my lands...

    Are we living our dream?

    well, it’s kind of late but happy new year. I feel well, but with a lot of limitations. My oncologist feels that I have responded well to my medication and that a no likelihood my tumor has decreased in size and the lesions are also dying. But he base his info on my bloodwork and physical...

    Good reference book(s)?

    I was once turned onto Back to Eden by one of my aides. She claimed it was her mom’s favorite reference book and I obtained a copy. Once I had it I understood her attraction to it. It’s just about the easiest book to actually use available. I had many textbooks and I can sorta look online and...

    Are we living our dream?

    Hello everyone. I have been home for a few weeks recuperating from surgery. I miss my job. I really need a pedicure but I can’t reach my feet. So tomorrow morning I will go for my first radiation treatment. My back has like a constant ache that varies in degrees of discomfort. My ribs seem to...

    Are we living our dream?

    I have been away for a while. Let me explain. I have a new grandchild who was born a bit early but is doing fine. I had promised to come through for my DIL so I pulled a lot of overtime. I have spread blessings around. Then the pain set in my sciatic nerve and went down to legs and it was really...

    Hunting for food (in New Zealand)

    It’s great until hurricane season. But I put up with the inconvenience for the benefits. As a small child I lived in the southeast of Australia and my father worked as a tugboat captain and worked around New Zealand and Australia. I feel connected in a way to that region, as it was the first...

    The Queen is Dead! Long Live The King!

    I am a US citizen but as a very small child I grew up for a time in Australia, which is a Common Wealth country and recognizes her sovereignty so it hits me different than most people I know. I went from recognizing a queen to having a president.

    Hunting for food (in New Zealand)

    I tell you what…. Several months ago I was letting DD learn to drive by taking the dog (Trouble), run in the sugarcane fields in the back of our home to the boat launch and a herd of wild pigs passed in front of the truck at night. There must have been at least 30 of them. We were just glad...

    Off-Grid Power Ideas to Fuel Your Homestead

    Great read. I am too far from the bayou to tap in for hydropower but I have considered collecting water with a gutter system and wheel before it goes into a cistern and even the overflow can be wheeled with an attached alternator and emptied into the pond for the animals and charge a battery...

    Are we living our dream?

    Pray for me please…. All of y’all!!! We have various mailing addresses and DH puts stuff down anywhere and it really is getting to be a problem. He put a subpoena down in the truck and fortunately I found it before the date, although it was cancelled. Now I see a grant for our parish for...

Oh well I got her to do it late and I am wearing clothes…. Not a scrub. I also call her...

    shortages

    At this time last year I was going through an absolute living hell, following Hurricane Ida. So 2 nights ago we went to the Dollar Tree because I knew I needed shoe laces for DD but when I am there, I stick up on shelf milk. When you are surviving a huge power outage and there are no stores...

    Are we living our dream?

    My phone rang so many times and texts kept coming in 😖. One of them from my new ADON who has maybe been an LPN 6 years…. Me 29. Her and the outgoing ADON are desperate to know if I still have to go for jury duty because if I do, one of them have to work in my position. I can’t call before 4:30...

    Are we living our dream?

    Yeah I am very late with my blood work but I’m finally on a good roll so I am hoping if I can keep this up a while that my blood will tell a good story on me and I can actually go through life without too many prescriptions. I guess I am avoiding the Doc. A few days ago I was afraid I would have...

    Are we living our dream?

    Okay now I call back and I am told not a torn rotator cuff but a worn rotator cuff so basically I am old and used up. So I have taken to riding my tricycle everyday. The first time I overdid it so I have now set a stopping point that was originally 5 minutes away from the house but I am making...
