My mom just left. We went to the farmer's market this AM. Got the biggest head of cabbage I've ever seen - its the size of a basketball! Only $1. Raspberries, corn, potatoes, and squash too.

Prolly going to the neighbor's to watch some football. Its also household hazardous waste day, dropping off our old mercury thermostat. DId you know that nail polish is considered hazardous waste???

Enjoy this day, folks. :)

I'll take Evie for three days. No more. =)

I slept horribly. Can't get comfortable with this rib business. I think I need to visit my medical doctor.

Birthday party today that I wish I didn't have to go to. Birch is headed west on a small road trip I want to be on too. Oh well, at least I'll get cake (two days in a row!). Have a nice Sunday everyone.

Have you considered the possibility that Birch may have some sort of "Adam" complex and be trying to remove your rib as you sleep?
Nimblefoot

The shower was a success. She got loads of nice gifts, everyone enjoyed the lunch and it was all over in 2 1/2 hours.

It does get easier. Promise. Once she starts sleeping through the night all will be golden. At least she's not throwing up in your hair everytime you feed her. I thought Abby was possessed. ;)

Leave it to Nimblefoot to come up with a line like that!

You mean they're not all possessed?   LOL       Seems like the only thing worse than 'possessed' is 'possessed and mobile'!

(crawling, walking, running, bicycle, driver's licence, ....)


Sorry about the rib thing ---

I remember something that may be similar.  I heard it described as a 'separation,' or a 'smooth muscle injury'... like a pulled muscle between the ribs(?).  It does hurt like crap (laughing, coughing, *breathing*... have to 'splint' to clear your throat, even), and it does take a while to heal (like a couple of weeks or longer).  How long have you had it?  Seems like it's been a couple of weeks already(?)

But I think you were saying it was like something had actually 'popped out' ----

That's what the chiro said. I did feel it pop back in but something is really not right. I thought it was all muscular side effects (and the muscles are still spasming frequently) but yesterday I started exploring a bit and can feel about an inch and a half separation between ribs 10 and 11 or 12. It's not right. The situation is out of hand. If Birch has done this to me he's been lying all along and he doesn't really love me a bit. If it's all in an attempt to get another woman I'd prefer he just be up front about it! ;)

On the serious side, I've had rib injuries and they're no fun. Whatever you do, don't fart and don't laugh.

Serious side? Of course, but things I cannot change I'd just as soon laugh at. Anything under a fuego heading is a prime example. I don't think I have a grim side, however.

Birch is trying to clone a spare Sassafras?  She wouldn't be 'another woman,' per se.... it's a a bit of a grey area.

Talk about possessed......

Many years ago a certain three year-old did a flying leap and Sumo Butt-Drop on me using a coffee table as a spring board to get extra height while I napped on the sofa.

The little ape landed directly on my heart cracking the rib and giving me quite a start since I had just dozed off.

Neither of us died although the thought crossed my mind.

Oldness?

I've been up since 4:30 and, yes, it's oldness,lol. Could have posted but just didn't feel like it.

Back to splitting wood today. The tractor runs again and the old truck has a new coil. I'm not sure the truck really needed a new coil, but it has one. I've added quite a few parts to that old creature in an attempt to make it reliable. Somehow it seems to have improved. Clearly, I am no mechanic, but all it costs me is for the parts and grilling a couple of steaks for my friends. Not a bad bartering system all in all.

Peace.

I had a nice weekend, busy but relaxing. The weather is definetly feeling like fall..in the 50's in the am and no higher then mid 70's by afternoon. I opened the windows..YIPPIE!!!! Such great sleeping weather.

Good morning everyone.

This is the second morning in a row with temps in the low to mid 50s. Happy happy! Yesterday morning I got up and the fuzzy bumble bees were frantically going from flower to flower looking for nectar. The hummingbirds are even more aggressive now, so I guess I'd better temper the savagery and refill the hummingbird feeder before they migrate.

Lots of cleaning to do around the house. Yuckers.

I was up, but didn't post. Waiting for a certain someone to wake up fully. Its my first day home alone, and so far so good. Of course, its only been an hour since G left. :)

Promised myself I'd take it easy today. I worked a bit too hard yesteray.

Beautiful weather on the way here. Sunny and 72 today, going to be in the 80's the rest of the week! Wish I could take a long walk, but I'd never make it. Will have to stick to short jaunts.

Have a good one, folks!

Yes, I encouraged G to go for the job. Its truly a passion of his, and without passion in life, you've got nothing. Might be a little sucky for me during the season, but I've never seen anyone more passionate about a job/coaching as I have seen G. I'm seriously so excited I'm giddy over it!

Beware the Creeping Oldness,   LOL          (entropy sucks Big Time, donchaknow)

Of course this reminds me of a Zappa tune ----

In "The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary," a small but very hip young swine in the employ of Big Swifty Associates, Trendmongers   invents.... The Calendar!  and pisses off Lots of people,    LMAO

To wit:

Making his way through the
evening traffic, GREGGERY notices
that the other vehicles which
crowd and bump his little red car
are all inhabited by slowly-aging
'VERY HIP YOUNG PEOPLE',
They appear to be casting
sinister glances toward him
through their glinting acid burn-
out eyeballs, trying to run him
off the road, or make him bump into
something, giving strong evidence
of HOSTILE AGGRESSION!


So.. be careful with that.


As you were ----

I'm working at the North today---- From what I hear about the south, its NASTY in there.....the smell is enough to kill you. I got a phone call from the big fish hiself about the insurance people asking questions heh...I was coached on what to say so I hope they don't ask me anything.
