Wow!!! I can't believe it's been a whole week since I wrote last. Maybe I should turn this into a once a week thing and stop feeling guilty. Nothing happens in my life anyway
But I will say my excuse this week is this household was SICK!!! Holy Hannah!!!!! Monte and I came down with it first. Pukey, tired, so weak I could hardly stand up and NOT hungry. When a couple of parcels showed up at the door, they lay at the top of the stairs for five days before I could get the umphf up to open them. Plus I can't eat normally right now. I found it easy to keep my blood sugar low and have lost enough weight my pants are falling off.
Hey Kathy, remember that time we went to that awesome kitchy store by the tracks behind that little trailer park? I bought a pair of cammo pants in there. Well they got too tight for me to wear without them cutting off my digestive circulation. I found them in the back of my closet today and pulled them on. I didn't even have to undo them!
Back to being sick and pathetic. I am a lot better now but I tip over. My balance is all screwed up. I am not dizzy, I just tip over. So annoying. And I still am not hungry. And now poor Ange has it and she has been really sick. Headache, ears ringing, super nauseous, dizzy and being a type 1 diabetic she has to eat a certain way. It's really hard to keep her blood sugar level, poor girl. God, if we had a dog I am pretty sure he would be limping around too.
We all feel much better except for the dizzy part and tiredness, but jeez it just isn't going away. So freaking annoying.
Yesterday, my gardener, Jonathon Joe, brought an associate over to do the front garden beds for us. He was a big handsome young native and his name was Jonathon too. I called him Jonathon Two Two, like that Morticai Rickler book and he knew what I meant!!!! Then my Jonathon left for his real job. This is the guy I get my fish from.
Well the one doing the garden was a rather vocal fellow. He would use the f word and then follow it up with how difficult it all was. It took him about three hours to do the most beautiful job. But half way through he got a phone call from his wife or girlfriend. OMG!!! She was on speaker and I could hear them clearly. He was NOT pleased. She wanted to go out to dinner and he wanted to get take out. Honestly it was so funny. He was mad!!! Every second word, and I mean second, was the f word. She stayed pretty calm at first then got on him about wanting to be home so he could drink. Oh jeez!!!! He finally hung up on her.
When he was done, my Jonathon came to pick him up and I asked how much I owed him. Do you know what he said? Fifty dollars!!!!!! For three hours of back breaking work!!!! Wow. I interacted him 200.
Now I am going to buy or find or whatever canning jars. I have my pressure canner that Bill bought me a hundred years ago, thank you Kathy for giving it back to me, and I am going to can salmon like crazy this summer. Jonathon is going to keep me supplied. And I shall be liberally sharing them with those interested! I am going to give Kathy some jars for her birthday with the promise that she will get a years supply! She does that with me with her amazing pickled beets!
Well thats it. My fingers are tired, whine. Stay safe and healthy. TTYL
