DD has been with me a few days. Always a joy. HG has been MIA here and there. I mostly just miss and worry about the baby when she vanishes. Well I have tried and hopefully she has been learning survival skills and life lessons. I’m sure she will continue to call this place home but she vanishes...

I gave a dozen BR eggs to the neighbors and I boiled all those pointy eggs. I will start peeling tomorrow. Really tired. The fricassee was good but I didn’t cook rice cuz we had some French bread that needed to disappear. I had some muddy eggs but they all washed now but I don’t know where the...

I have to admit I learned the basic bread recipe a long time ago when everyone was getting bread machines. My first machine eventually passed away but I recalled seeing an old Cajun woman turning and kneading dough on her kitchen table and I thought, I can replace the bread machine. So I still...

They are a bit wild and resist the coop. Plus I can’t keep the coop open or everything will get loose. They were caught after DH planted a bunch of tomatoes and cucumbers. HG started a fire in the evening and before they came inside they captured the chickens in the orange tree. I am totally...

DH accidentally left the coop open. Here we go again!! So far I trapped two. But one wandered into the house so I didn’t actually catch her but I did outsmart her. The other was just trapped when I threw out the scraps. Probably 6 more to go

Good morning!! Nature called so here I am. The coffee is ready but I haven’t poured any. Tell you the truth I’m hungry and I want to cook at least 3 big eggs or 5 small ones in butter. I have a bread I baked yesterday and I figured just a slice 🤷‍♀️. But it’s complicated. 😂. First I should put...

Well because of today’s activity I have cooked those beans (btw producers please take note that just because I am Cajun doesn’t mean I season my food with so much pepper to raise blisters on tongues), added a can of beans to it so I can actually tolerate it, and I have brewed a pot of afternoon...

Sorry for my delay. I beat myself up a lot I guess. So 2 days ago the ex informed me that his SIL so my SIL as well (for a number of years) passed from cancer. She was diagnosed after me and she is gone and here I am 🤷‍♀️. I try not to worry too much about time. It’s precious to us all really...

Morning!! Been a minute. Let’s see….my house is a mess. I’m late getting dressed. I was so tired yesterday after waking up before daylight and then heading to the city with the newborn and watching 3 of my own grandkids, cooking and cleaning up the kitchen and then feeding them and then coming...

Well, I’m not quite that old. I’m disabled with the cancer so only 58, but I’m approaching 25 months on disability so I’m about to be put on Medicare. I didn’t totally not take any sedative medication but I decreased them a bit and I guess that’s why I’m awake. Maybe I slept a tiny bit. I was...

I gotta keep myself motivated this coming year and I’m not even sure how to tackle it. DD was fired from Sonic because sick too often. She will be 18 in March and so her SS checks will stop. I had been helping her with various things cuz I realized I was getting several hundred dollars a month...

Thanks 🙏🏾. I’m feeling okay today….well so far. I didn’t crate Trouble last night but I didn’t wake up to any surprises. I heard her sneaking under the bed this morning and then I heard her snoring right under me 😆. I was probably over medicated last night. I fell asleep in the chair and by the...

Merry Christmas everyone!! I have been under the weather. I usually contribute it to my treatment but I might have caught a bug. Not sure. On the 23rd I spent several hours plucking 5 wild ducks and the next day I was visiting with the family. I saw all my children, grandchildren, some in-laws...

52F in my hometown. Probably warmer than most of y’all locations though. Feels chilly, wet. So DH and HG are both playing outside and doing chores and I am in the rocker/recliner holding baby and sticking the pacifier back in as she catches up on her z’s. She is snoring. Apparently DS woke up...

Well I can tell you my underwear drawer obviously speaks of my previous profession. I no longer even have underwear in it but I still call it my underwear drawer. It’s full of maybe 6 different size bandages, betadine, coveted ace wraps 😆, non-sterile 3X3’s and such. A few OTC meds and a battery...

🤷‍♀️I think I have eggs somewhere but they are elusive. One day I’ll get all my ducks in a row. Oh yeah…my duck. Well she vanished about 4 weeks ago so 🤦‍♀️

I have been a nurse for 3 decades and mainly I just closed wounds with steri strips but the one time I needed to stitch a human was probably 15 years ago. He was refusing to go to the hospital. My oldest DD noticed I couldn’t pierce his skin with my sewing needles so she gave me some super sharp...

Scary!! It’s not like I also had been expecting company to show up but I needed to doctor up DD who insists on staying at the ex and I had so much to accomplish before leaving and the FLOOR!! Omg!! DH undresses wherever he wants to and just drops his clothes on the floor and forgets it there...

Only problem is I can’t really eat much of the coon because of the gout. Maybe just mess up some rice with the gravy it makes. And have a side with salad. I know we’ll have enough onions for the dish for sure. Coming back from DH’s appointment. The NP wants him to continue on MORE antibiotics...

I mean the only thing I can think of to keep an epinephrine injection ready to go next time and watch for at least half an hour but you need exact measurements for sure for epinephrine. I had a scare once after administering it to a 4 year old child. I get nervous with epinephrine. I have given...
